OK, then why are you posting about the moral problems of buying iOS devices on an article about a desktop operating system?

iCloud isn't free but 5GB is free? What?

What do you think this website is? It's for geeks. Geeks like gadgets, and talking about gadgets. If you don't like these posts, filter them out, or go somewhere else.

They didn't also require AC receptacle plug covers installed so electricity doesn't leak out of the wall sockets and give everyone cancer.

View by detail, sort by date, ctrl-down until the date changes. Or use the search-folder tool using date criteria.

Organize-group by file type.

Yeah, you need a third party utility for that - or use the command line.

The CLI is superior in some situations, but I find myself mostly using the UI for file management, mostly because I regularly have to move around arbitrary files in large file collections during development/debug work. For batch operations the CLI (or scripts) are usually superior.

If your directories are laid out properly this isn't a big deal anymore.

Either a digital cable transfers information perfectly or it doesn't. Unless your SPDIF or HDMI drivers are utter garbage, EFI shouldn't be a problem.

Not quite. The connectors should match the impedance of the cable or they'll reflect signal. Again, won't matter so much for digital (it'll either work or it won't) but can make a difference for analog (and even more for video if you're still doing analog video) RCA connectors matter even more as the impedance of audio cables can vary widely but the connectors are always around 75 ohms. It would make more sense to use BNC connectors for audio, but they are slightly more expensive and, I guess, so much more work to use that nobody implements them.

That being said, you shouldn't have to spend more than $10 to get a well-built analog audio cable. It doesn't cost that much to make them yourself, either.

Then you can tax the gains when they are used as collateral during the process of loan payments. Taxing something because it may possibly be used as collateral doesn't make sense.

I'm using the term punishment as the net result of taxes, not necessarily the driving force behind the tax. Making an activity more expensive discourages people from engaging in it. Taxes influence behavior. The government uses taxes as a behavior modification tool all the time - higher taxes on cigarettes, liquor, salty foods, foods in high fat, you name it.

A key component of the idea of Capitalism is the right to private property, and independent control over it. If the parents wish to give their money and property to their children, it's their property and they have the right to do so. If they wish to give the property away to charity, or whatever other purpose they wish, that is also their right.

Forcing people to surrender their property at the time of their death deprives them of their property rights.

In other words, who are you to tell someone what they can and can't do with their money after they die?

You need to read up on how banks work. Banks take your savings and loan it to other people to buys houses and cars and factories, etc... They charge those people 4% and give you 2%, thereby making a profit. Of course, to "stimulate" the economy the interest rates are in the crapper, making the return on savings accounts almost not worth it. It also encourages banks to find more creative ways of making money - hence the recent mortgage securities fiasco.
