I would think by now a Linux user would be used to ports from Windows being less reliable or capable than their Windows counterparts. (Or not existing at all.)
If every program out there isn't buggy to some extent, why do we keep getting all these annoying updates?
The best thing about Flash, from a programming perspective, is that you don't have to write in a bunch of special cases for different platforms like you do when writing HTML/CSS/JS for IE/Mozilla/WebKit.
If this project catches on, it better be perfect or I'll be one of many writing a sniffer to block my apps from running on it.
Also, the 'Flash is buggy' stuff needs to stop. It makes you sound ignorant. Flash is a runtime. People can write wonderfully stable, efficient code in ActionScript or they can take down the whole process, just like they can in Java, C++, Objective C, or whatever. If flash wan't around, advertisers would hire the same half-wits to write banner ads in Java or JavaScript and your CPU fan would spin just as fast. (This is why you need adblock.)
Prove that any of the people who downloaded this film illegally would have purchased it legally if downloading it wasn't an option.
Prove that these people who said, "well, I wasn't interested enough to see it in the theater or rent it, but I hear it won some award so maybe I'll check it out" would have been thoroughly motivated to purchase or rent the movie.
Your film bombed because it was crap. Deal with it.
And terrorists seem to be less likely to target the military than they are to target civilians. (The end goal of organized terrorism is to push the government to become more restrictive, to the point that the citizens begin to turn against their government. It's worked in South America in the past. So by targeting civilians, the government is forced to clamp down by the very folks who will later decry the police state.)
Rather than an aircraft carrier, imagine a cruise missile targeting a full oil tanker in one of our more populous bays.
But, if you have a person who's ready to give up their own life, as the current crop of terrorists seems to have, you don't really need to waste your money on expensive and complicated electronics.

I like how you say 'ATM' and not 'ATM machine' like the op.
Wow, something was running on an Apple product before it was on a Microsoft product before the iPhone existed?
The TSA's version is called Deep Package Inspection. It's totally different.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU! I hope you die lying in a ditch somewhere and can't call for help because your car is scrambling your phone.
Hey, UK, maybe if you stop trying to control what people are allowed to say they'll be less likely to want you to be blown up.
I know it says as much in the tags, but the Volt is not an electric car. It's a hybrid. GM lied. Google it.

"In Steve Jobs' case, with only 1.1% market share, the would-be emperor isn't even wearing any clothes."
Dear Slashdot,
Please do not ever make me picture Steve Jobs naked again.
Thank you.
Apparently, aliens are here, they read Slashdot, they're defensive, and they're not familiar with our humor.
You need to recognize Sour Grapes when you see it. Cleary gilesjuk has a iOS device and is in denial.
The internet's just a fad, anyway.
People who use the Internet surely are asking for this kind of thing.

Clearly Linux is buggy: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn

Mine prefer Drum and Bass
When are those Earth, Wind and Fire tickets comin' in?
So, will Adobe Creative Suite and MS Office be in the same list as the slew of fart apps?
Yes, but Apple's products are shiny.
How will they keep up with all that extra monitoring?
What more do you want? Program listings in the back?
it was your cup that was poisoned. They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to BPA.

Please. Targeting is a piece of cake:

From now on, all of those 30 page documents that you click through can make sure you read every last word of themselves. How fantastic!
