Thank you for your agreement that Apple competes on quality, not price.
As to your second paragraph, I know you're trolling, but for anyone who thinks you might have a valid point:
Besides, remember the $100 laptop project? Steve Jobs offered OS X for free to run on those things. The project rejected the offer because they wanted it to be open source, then went with Red Hat (who just so happened to have donated to the project). So because of them, the world missed out on having a $100 Mac. Ugh.
Jobs offered OS X to the one laptop per child program late in the day, knowing that it was unsuitable due to lack of source. It was simply grandstanding on his part. Frankly, I can't think of a non-malicious reason for Jobs to make the offer, (why knowingly offer something useless?). Job's crack at the OLPC project wasn't as childish & pathetic as Gate's, but make no mistake - it was similar jealousy that prompted it.
Sorry, I know that there are people (mothers & those needing medical equipment are some) who need to take things on - I should have excluded you in my rant.
20 kgs for carry on? I know easyJet allow 'unlimitted (within reason)', but for practical purposes, I didn't know of an european airline that allows 20kgs of carry on. Which airline is that? (BA is 6kg for instance).
Basically, stop assuming that you know better than me what is best for my particular circumstances
I'm not - I'm making fun of you for thinking you need to carry your SLR, laptop, grandmothers diamond encrusted wig, all that other crap you have with you on every flight.
You've replied with "Don't be stupid", and "I am more worldly than you" and you've been wrong, both times.
You know that people sometimes move house between countries?
Currently I live in the netherlands - I'm leaving here to start a new job in a new country in a month. It will be my second intercontinental move in less than two years. I've lived in 7 different countries on 3 different continents. I imagine I know far more about relocating then you do or ever will.
What do you do? Fly back and forth carrying only your (what 5kgs worth) carry on luggage between your new and old home? That sounds time consuming and expensive.
If you have heirlooms that need relocating and are important, then I suggest you send them (insured) with a repuatable courier (that's what I'm doing).
If they are genuinly irreplacable, then take 'em as hand luggage by all means but for gods sake, leave your laptop, large slr, change of clothes, book, etc at home or in checked in luggage (as appropriate).
If by religion, you mean the worship of the allmighty dollar as a motivation for invading iraq (and hell, the last 40 years of deliberate middle-east unrest), then yes, I do agree with you that religion is the main cause in this case.
Book? According to the DfT website you can't even take a _book_ with you.
I think those are just emergency measures - but hopefully when things calm down a little, they'll stick with reduced carry on (hopefully with a few extra kilos for checked in).
I don't see why anyone (medical equipment & nursing mothers aside) would need more than an eight ltr backpack anyway.
That is quite simplistic. Did you realize that the main beef of the Madrid bombers was that Spain had driven out Muslim invaders hundreds of years ago?
I agree that the GP's viewpoint was simplistic - but your viewpoint is fucking retarded.
Can you provide us with a reference to back up your claim that the ousting of the moors was the main motivation of the madrid bombers?
Please note that I looked at the google search you suggested to another poster - and none of the first ten links backed up your claim in the slightest.
I suggest you STFU and let the adults continue however.
Makes you wonder where they'll be trying to hide explosives next. Full body cavity search for all passengers? It's only a matter of time...
I was just thinking that motivated suicide bombers could hold alot of liquid in condoms in body cavities - or swallowed (not a good time to have an arab name going through check in methinks).
But I think a well moitivated suicide bomber with an ounce of intelligence could get through no matter what the security precautions are.
On a side note - thank christ for the reduced on board luggage rules. Why the hell does anyone need more than their book & a passport anyway?
I've had far more flights ruined by some dickhead taking up the entire overhead compartment, blocking the entire plane at entry/exit while they collect their reams of carry on, etc than I've had flights ruined by terrorists.
So in choosing to protect his friends from being prosecuted for the crime of arson over choosing to protect the rest of us from being victims of an arson fire makes for a better civilization?
Whoops, you made a typo - let me correct it for you:
So in choosing to protect his friends from being harassed for peaceful participation in a protest, thus helping to protect the rest of us from being victims of similar harrassment make for a better civilization?
These people were taking part in a public demonstration. The whole point of which is to tell the world what your beliefs are.
No, peaceful assembly can be for many goals - only one of which is raising public awareness.
It is not Wolf who is outing these people, whether they are setting a car on fire or not, they have outed themselves.
Errr right, but if they've already outed themselves - why do the police need his footage?
BTW, I note Mr AC that you do not have the same sort of courage in your convictions that you're saying the activists should have - IE, associating your identity with your beliefs.
The number of people replying "Just show the tape, if it has no crimes" in this thread really bothers me. It bothers me because of the shortsightedness/lack of history awareness they show.
Operations such as cointelpro are almost certainly continuing to operate. People like Josh Wolf are the targets. The people most likely to be on his tapes are his friends, family & associates.
If he hands over these tapes, he can expect everyone on them to be harassed. Frankly, thank the gods for people like him - they stand between us & a far more opressive world.
Or can you only be willing to stand up for your beliefs when there's no chance of repercussions?
James Madison was one of those people - I'm sure if you'd been around back when the father of the consitution was (anonymously) writing the federalist papers, you would have said to him "Can you only be willing to stand up for your beliefs when there's no chance of repercussions?"
But that's all a little beside the point - none of the people in the videos are being given a choice, its the blogger who's deciding....
Slashdot Mirror
If he is not already using tooling like this then he probably should not be developing, this is basic QA.
What utter nonsense. Coverity goes far beyond basic QA.
Exactly - thank you for your agreement.

Would you also start sucking down laxatives if the Firefox team became incontinent?
Or maybe he follows development advice from one of the largest software projects around? Tard.
I love the way people keep trotting out the 'same price an an equivilantly specced dell machine' line.
How about you try the other way round? Go have a look at Dell's cheapest laptop, then go & find an 'equivilant' Apple notebook.
Dell's market range is huge, Apple only competes with them in a few areas - pretending otherwise is.... deluded.
Dell competes on price, Apple competes on quality (that's one of the reasons why you hear about Apple defects so much).
If the current source is available, say from an independent mirror or torrent, that is sufficient.
But I said (and you even quoted it):
with no corresponding source,
Sorry, I know that there are people (mothers & those needing medical equipment are some) who need to take things on - I should have excluded you in my rant.
Linked article admits its speculating & still doesn't attribute the end of moorish spain as the 'main beef' of the terrorists.
Elequontly put.
There is something wrong with your 'w' key :-)

You carry expensive family heirlooms (what, like you grandmother's diamond bejewelled wig?) with you everywhere you go do you?
You must be a blast at parties.
Well, you have a legitimate excuse, I really doubt anyone is going to object to you taking essential medical devices on board are they?
(although you're not going to exactly have fun going through security).
That is quite simplistic. Did you realize that the main beef of the Madrid bombers was that Spain had driven out Muslim invaders hundreds of years ago?

Don't quit your day job.

You silly tit, you could download 99% of it.
I consider the kernel a mildly important bit... *shrugs* you of course may not...

What an enlightened attitude.
Why, it is an enlighted attitude - we agree

Everytime I've worked with wireless technology it's been flakey.

Well - the article was talking about Apple
