That's nice. Celcius is a scale based on water phase change, and Fahrenheit is a scale based on human comfort levels. 0F is where it starts to get unbearably cold even with clothes, and 100F is where it starts to get unbearably hot even without clothes.
But they're not doing it like Snively Whiplash, pulling on a handlebar mustache curl while grinning at the successful completion of the removal of freedom for pure evil's sake. The removal of freedom is a step to the actual goal ($$$), not the goal itself.
the whole notion of "installing" is in itself already completely flawed, a piece of software should never ever randomly copy files around from its local namespace into the global one
Check out Windows 3.1. It lacks the sandboxing. But the idiotic practice of spreading files around hadn't happened yet.
Nobody's arguing that. Heck, even slavers don't enslave people for the sake of taking their freedoms from them. For the slavers, it's about selling the slaves, and for the buyers, it's about the free labor slaves provide. For Apple, it's about their style of lock-in (thus the continued revenue stream).
Your OSX Lion Finder screenshot ignores the huge screen-wide menu that takes up the whole top of the screen. The Windows 8 explorer can hide its menu/ribbon/whatever.
I use sh/bash/csh/tcsh/cmd/powershell, and I still use GUI file managers daily (when appropriate). Now Ribbon vs Menu? There is no appropriate time to use ribbon. It takes up more space, and is ordered haphazardly. I shouldn't need to refer to the help file every time to find stuff that could be logically organized (or is now just a stupid icon instead of a menu phrase).
So an analogy in WoW would not be the ability to play an ingame game, but to make it. Remember the chess game from Karazhan? Suppose WoW plugins could make things like that. Suppose plugins could make battleground like concepts, with new types of combat and siege. Or plugins could add dances to the game. Or new model mounts, engineering tools, etc.
Imagine that kind of freedom.
As I was reading this I was thinking "I'd pay for a WoW like that." Then I remember second life and vowed not to pay for a WoW like _that_.
Slashdot Mirror
patriotic rhymes with idiotic for a reason.
Because they both end with -iotic.
buffer overflows and bad pointers. ...which C++ eliminated
Wha!?
Them's what done it.
They've gotten the message, but they responded with "Then let them eat cake"
Steve Jobs wouldn't have allowed this to happen. I blame Tim.

Not only will they only accept Memory Stick, but they'll install a rootkit in my eyes.
Huh, normal human body temperature wad a reference? That could have nothing to do with human comfort levels! I must have been insane to think that.

Was it a Republican President that tried to foist the clipper chip on America?
No, that was the Gipper Chip. And it was delicious.
Huh, I always thought lawyers that said "in toto" were just saying "in total" with a folksy accent.
Yeah, hopefully they'll add SSH services/clients too.

Nobody's out to get your freedom.

what firewall are you using that doesn't have application level support for FTP?
Just about any non-windows firewall, including network firewalls.
When it was no longer convenient to describe it as such. Just like Pluto.

Dude, you Prequeled an already bad scenario. Use Luke instead. "No! That's not true! That's impossible!"
A few widely used LTS-style Linux distros still use 3.6, and probably will until it's officially dropped.
Well, Oma's

Every city i've lived in does this, although the cops are usually rare so as not to spook the prey.
