Say what you want about today's social problems, but today you don't have a society that thinks its ok to make people give up their seats because of the color of their skin. Changing was inevitable regardless of what technology was used.

Say what?

"Congress can't pass a budget. Therefore they should do absolutely nothing."

Yeah, mods. That's incredibly insightful.

For a scientist, Hawking sure has been making a lot of grandoise claims without a lick of evidence. What blows my mind is that people keep reporting on them.

The main problem, however, is that the software still sucks ass.

Wow, I don't understand the difficulty with this word. I'm not sure in what context you expected it, but this scenario could VERY easily be described, in several ways, as ironic. Correct definition and all. I'll give you one example to get you started. If you can't think of any more, you definitely don't need to be judging anyone else's intelligence.

Man killed by the very product he tried to breath life in to.

So now we're up to, what, 1 legitimate reasons?

Are people really still complaining about this? I hate QT as much as the next guy, but it's a design decision. Do you want identical functionality and codecs in iTunes and Quicktime, or do you want to have both installed on your computer? Using VLC for video is of absolutely no consequence to Apple as it is hardly a ubiquitous claim. I, for example, ONLY use iTunes for video and absolutely hate VLC. If you don't like Quicktime, don't use it and set all your video filetypes to default to something else.

Really? Because it took over a month of occasional rubbing alcohol wipe downs to get all the adhesive off my aluminum iMac from the clear plastic sheets that protect it from scratches in shipping.

I usually just close my eyes.

"So, uh, yeah, go ahead and sue. And tell them they can rule that I need to shut my site down. Oh, wait, what country were you in again?"

The point was, saying it wouldn't have happened if only the pirates were trying is straight up retarded. Of course it would have happened.

I was being facetious. And would it kill them to give us syntax highlighting?

"Thought to have" and then "were wrong" has never happened before? Is this proof that sea life rose twice or proof of God? !!! (My money is on an oversight or mistake)

Seriously, even worse than this. But I guess that's what they get for flouridation, the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face.
