Wether you think like Obama, that we should have a socialist state. . . Capitalism made America the super power that it is. The reason you have the rights and freedoms you have in the US is because of Capitalism.
You bought a round piece of plastic. You don't own a copy of the code. You are merely allowed to use the code, in the manner in which Apple wants to allow you to use it.
If I was a member of an organization that gives their paying members access to their facilities, and they have restrictions on the type of access and use of those facilities, and you violate those restrictions, that organization has the right to not let you use those facilities any longer, even though you paid for that membership access.
Wether you like it or not, that is how it is. So if you don't like it and think it should change, that doesn't mean you should break into those facilities, and use them as you see fit anyway.
The only difference here is you think there should be a difference in one from the other because my example is for physical access to a physical space, and the other is not "physical".
Apple only sells upgrade licenses. The only way to get a full license is to buy Mac hardware, and as the EULA states, you can only use that license on that hardware. That Full license is not for just software alone. It is for only having that software (OS) installed on that piece of hardware.
Example: You already own one Mac with OSX 10.4 on it. Then you buy a second Mac with OSX 10.5 on it, but you intend to uninstall that OS and install Windows 7 (I know, not the best choice, but an example nonetheless). You cannot take the 10.5 OS and install it (Legally) on your other Mac, that has 10.4 on it. If you want to install 10.5 on that Mac, you have to purchase and "upgrade" for that OS.
Apple only offers Full Licenses as OEM Licenses.
And if you don't like it. . . don't buy it. Get over yourselves.
Yes there is a method, of "fixing" your iPhone without jailbreaking it to get tethering, as long as you don't upgrade past the 3.1 firmware update. Also Tethering on the iPhone is supported in many markets around the world. The phone is capible of it. Apple made the phone to do tethering, and I've used it, and loved it. It's AT&T, that doesn't want to allow on their network, because it would bring the network to it's knees faster than anything. Why? Because it is good. Because many people would use it. If I was willing to downgrade the firmware on my iPhone, I'd get tethering back again.
So does that mean that Apple will no longer be able to sell computers to China? Maybe they can install Vista in dual boot, and install Green Dam in Vista, and then just never run Vista.
This brings up a interesting situation though. Is there a version of Green Dam for every OS, or will China authorize different web filtering software on other OSes?
Let me summarize what you are saying, "I don't know why new software isn't supported on a computer and OS that is 3-4 years old. Good thing I have something older that works. Until these new software makers decide to support my old hardware, I won't be able to use them."
Surf the web from practically anywhere. Now you can share the 3G connection on your iPhone with your Mac notebook or PC laptop.
Tethering is not currently offered in the U.S. and some other countries. See your carrier for availability.
So by allegedly, they really mean. . . for real.
"See your carrier for availability." means:
The phone has the functionality, but if our exclusive carrier has a hissy fit, that functionality is disabled, because if the carrier wants to charge you more money for that we won't stop them. We think different on everything except that.
***Current iPhone 3G owner. Love the phone, not a fan of AT&T, but yes I was willing to deal with AT&T's less then stellar service in order to get the phone.
The only real free market is one where the only taxes are sales taxes. Get rid of all income taxes, property taxes, and any other tax that is not a sales tax. Then raise the sales tax. This is the only system that makes sence. Let the people decide what they want to spend all their money on, and let them pay taxes according to what they buy. It's the only fair system. Rich people who hord their money will get taxed no more then a poorer person that is living above their means. Businesses can regulate price in order to maximize quantity and quality of products sold. You pay when you spend your money, not when you make it. No one will be taxed more than anyone else, because it doesn't matter what you make. It matters how much of what you make you spend. (but it will never happen)
Because that would be a moral judgement, is that the argument? Just like pharmacists that refuse to dispense birth control and insurance companies that refuse to pay for gender reassignment surgery, etc. Here's a suggestion -- how about the medical community stop trying to pass moral judgements through the back door like this. Your job is to help people, not figure out their culture. Their culture is totally irrelevant -- what IS relevant is if they're in pain, if their life is significantly impacted, and there is a medical treatment or cure available that could help them. THAT is where the focus needs to be, and culture only plays a role insofar as how to reach out to the patient and contextualize what's happening.
disclaimer: not a doctor.
But you see you have created a problem with your statement. You have defined the moral judgments of the patient as more important than the moral judgments of the doctor. Your granting rights to one individual while at the same time restricting the rights of another.
Freedom is only freedom if you acting on your rights don't hinder the rights of someone else. It is not freedom if you force someone to do something against their choice. You are wanting to force members of the medical community to do something against their choosing. This is not freedom at all.
P.S. You spelled "judgments" incorrectly in 2 places. Come on, don't you use Firefox? It has spell check underline your misspelled words when you write a post. Learn how to use it.
your silly. . . everyone well knows that blowjobs are just fine, as long as in the confines of marriage. Never heard of the undefiled marriage bed? Seriously.
Well that works for me. . . I already use a black only wallpaper on all of my computers. I figure it's for the greater good. Less battery consumption on laptops. Just trying to do my part. lol
Anyway, it's an interesting find, but I wonder, why did they not wait until they finished their investigation of the event? It says that they're still figuring out if the change was a random, incredibly rare mutation, or the result of many small changes. Why not wait until you get the whole story to announce your discovery?
It's called Hyperbole. There is more interest now in their project then there was before, because they have created the sense of possibility, and as any marketing analyst or sensible person knows. . . It doesn't matter what the end result is, it's how many people can you get to talk about it, because that is how the bills get paid.
If you wait, then you run the chance of it not getting press if the real outcome is not as sensational as the potential outcome is before you know all the facts. Because there is a chance that it is not random, and it may not be as drastic of a mutation as it initially might appear. But there is no money in it after you know for sure.
I think there is one thing he is not taking into consideration on. . . he is trapped withing the magnetic field of another planet. To really judge is this is plausible then he needs to send this ball of metal into space and get it to spin in space.
Then again. . . the earth is inside of the suns magnetic field, yet the earth has magnetic field of it's own. . . so actually the difference is that he is within the earth's atmostphere, and not in space. so yeah. . . shoot this thing into space and spin it.
I would like to mention that I read somewhere that Microsoft was moving all of their web servers over to 2008 - Longhorn. I wonder if this issue is related.
From my experience, and a friend of mine's. . . I've been able to long in all the time. Yet my friend's account could not log in. the difference is this. . . . My account was already on the xbox, and my friend was trying to recover his gamer tag, so he could play online with me. It would get connected, but would time out on download of his gamer tag. after 1 week of trying he finally got through today.
oddly enough. . . I don't have a problem with those things. But then again I wouldn't really consider myself in the "nothing to hide" croud. More in the. . . . "if your pushing for more privacy, then there is a possibility that there is something you want to hide" croud.
But also realize that your statement constitutes hiding of one's physical body and activities, not one's digital activities. It's my responsibility on how much clothes I put on, or take off. I decide for myself what percentage my physical body is hidden to the public. Why then is it everyone else's or the governments for that matter responsibility to provide more privacy for my digital life, when I have to put my own clothes on in the physical life?
If a naked women walks down the street and I'm standing on the sidewalk, should there be a cop telling me to not look, and fine me if I do? Or should the police stop the women from walking naked down the sidewalk?
The real question is. . . who's responsibility is it to provide your privacy?
The local Library in my small rural Iowa, USA town. That's right as a kid in the early eighties I went to the public library to get my fingerprints taken and put into the system. We was told it was for security. In case a child ended up lost, they could ID them (the body) when found.
But sure it must be an outrage to have adults get their fingerprints taken. Um seriously. . . if they want to jail you, then they'll bring you in to the police station and fingerprint you then. And if you are worried that you migth get arrested for doing something illegal just because they have your fingerprint on file, then your probably already doing something illigal.
Repair disk permissions before any install. And I mean any. Use disk utilities (HD->Applications->Utilities->) if you are installing an os update, or any update for that matter. Make sure that for any install of any software that you do this as well. As a saftey precaution. If you are running software update, and there are any updates to be installed. Repair disk permissions first. The last 2 os updates 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 that I did I had this problem. the first one required a full wipe and reinstall to fix. Luckly the second time I was able to repair the permissions with the OS CD and bring things back up.
Also FYI: Adobe Version Cue CS2 was part of the problem the first time. I had to shut it off. Now all is well. A learning experience.

Mac: Hi, I'm a Mac Store.
PC: Hi, I'm a Microsoft Store.
Mac: Hello, PC, wow your store has a very similar feel to the thousands of Mac Stores that we have had open for a number of years now.
PC: Um, no we are nothing like your Mac Stores. You have a Genesis Bar. I have a Guru Bar. Totally Different.

Rim, Nokia, HTC, Sony-Ericsson, Samsung, every phone maker is bringing out competing products, if they have not already.
There is maybe 1 more year of dominance by Apple here, then it's over.
Remember when they said that about the iPod? Every audio player maker is bringing out competing products, if they have not already.
There is maybe 1 more year of dominance by Apple here, then it's over.

The person with the most to hide online will be the one pushing for the strongest online privacy laws. 2 cents
