Right, so we might as well stop selling knives, because someone might stab someone in the future. Or stop selling guns, or stop selling axes, or matches.

All these things COULD be used to do damage.

Where do you draw a line, and why do you draw it. I suspect its arbitrary.

No corporation is required to have a succession plan. Why should Apple?

You are going to say that Steve is so important to Apples success and continued success that a plan should be required.

I'm going to say that Steve is one man that relies on many people to come up with a successful product.

If there is no law that requires a succession plan, then Apple should not be made to make a plan.

Comment there more to cost savings than migrating... (Score 1) 375

How much money do you save migrating to Linux when marketing and sales use OS X and Windows with software for those OS's. You have to get all new software that runs under Linux, get everything running under Wine (for the Windows dudes) and provide support people to handle the training and issues. And the OS X guys are screwed, they can't run their software at all.

Artificial cost savings.

Comment We are not running out, we are being stupid (Score 2, Interesting) 717

A friend of mine just colocated his server. The colo he used gave him 4 or 5 IP addresses for his single computer. Even though he is running VM's, he does not need 4 IP's.

This kind of thing is happening everywhere. Cleaning up that kind of junk will give us time to convert to IPv6
