Apple was a bit naughty by pushing an album we didn't ask for, but that's all it is: well-intended spam.
Well intentioned spam is still spam.

This season, in Australia, we're getting the latest Dr Who episode within 24 hours broadcast on ABC. Plus it's also available on iView. So there's no reason to pirate it.
iView only allows Australians to view Doctor Who.
Bookkeepers, shepherds, scientists and mathemaitcians have for centuries counted starting with 1. It is recent computer scientists that started this crazy standard break, as if they knew better how to count.
No. Computer scientists count starting from one, just like normal people. What we do not do is confuse cardinal numbers (which you use for counting) with ordinal numbers (which you use for coordinates, such as the position in an array).
I agree that burning the crap off is a good thing, but why tack on an expensive piece of extra equipment when pretty much the same effect can be achieved by being smarter about core design? I'm just not seeing the big advantage here.
By all means, let's move forward on the smarter core designs. However, we still have lots of waste from the older cores to deal with.
option A: moderate toxicity/radioactivity for (hundreds of) thousands of years
option B: EXTREME toxicity/radioactivity for decades
Toxicity and Radioactivity do not necessarily correlate positively. You might wind up with highly toxic, low radioactive waste, or waste that has low toxicity but high radioactivity.
fuel costs are a small portion of launch costs.
Really? What is the expensive part then?
Engine development/manufacture, mostly. The shuttle used 610 tons of oxygen and 100 tons of hydrogen which cost approximately $200,000 based on market prices. The cost of the solid rocket booster fuel is unknown, but one estimate is about $2,000,000. The cost to launch that bird was $450,000,000, so the fuel was half a percent of the launch costs.
In an age of sex bots and realistic toys I just can't see to relax my grip.
Well, they did warn you that if you keep doing that, you'd go blind.
Oh for FUCKTARDS sake. No one has EVER been laying on their death bed and thought, "was I politically correct enough in my life?"
No, it's not that. They're in Unicode and Slashdot doesn't support Unicode. They are literally unprintable.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
