You can use more than just a hammer. How about an acetylene torch? Bolt Cutters? Hydrofluoric acid? Typical "if all you have is a hammer" tunnel vision. I expect more from you, Slashdot!

Submission + - UK Court renders iTunes illegal. (torrentfreak.com)

Submitted by chinton on Thursday August 06, 2015 @03:49PM
