I've used iOS for years, and have dabbled with Android. webOS beats them both hands down (for me!). iOS isn't so bad to run, but only if I want to run the way Apple decided was best, so it's a pain to get it the way *I* want it, in typical Linux user fashion. Android is just a confusing mess of non-intuitive menus and settings.

webOS just _gets out of the way_! It's a doggone shame it doesn't seem to be going anywhere, because there's no way I'd trade my Touchpad for an iOS or Android tablet.

Aww crap, not enough coffee when I posted.

Why is the word liberated in quotes in the article title? Sure, Libya is free from Ghaddafi (sp), but it still is and will remain a Muslim country, where such censorship would be normal.

Thomas Richardson was quoted as saying:

"I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shit. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail."

Agreed. Without trying to be prejudicial, this comes across as a case of the artist trying to control how their work is interpreted by the observer (i.e. they don't want it associated with Gingrich). I think this type of mindset only serves to compromise the work.

Funny you never hear about Democrats being asked by a musician to stop using their music.

The U.S. is like the European Union. A single whole but composed of multiple sovereign governments that retain most of the power to themselves.

Wrong. If you read the Constitution you will see that it is not a compact between "multiple sovereign governments", which would imply that there is some higher authority which resides in the States to create a constitution. Rather, it derives its genesis from "We the People" as a whole. You are likening the Constitution to a contract between individual parties (the States), when in fact the States comprising the Union were in fact never party to the "contract". Their job was to ratify the agreement of the citizens. There was a long discussion about this between 1860 and 1865.

Don't forget its bastard child "hate crime". This is a good example of Richelieu's

Give me six lines written by the most honorable of men, and I will find an excuse in them to hang him.

Except in this case all that's needed is an SSID.

Useless fact: One of those Concerned Christians was the very first girl I kissed, way back in kindergarten, Anne Marie Biondo. I guess nobody expects their first crush to join a cult that tries to end the world...

I'd put it at a medium level of difficulty. I run a personal Exchange server and am able to share appointments and schedules with my wife and access my calendar from my tablet, phone and computer, all without having to rely on someone else or about my privacy. And once set up, it just runs.

Note: I don't use it to send or receive external e-mail, I only use the calendaring service.

Seems like its been so long since relevant technical submissions were made to /. I remember being able to learn so many interesting OS tricks from poster's comments to articles and hearing about new software.

Now it's mostly just crap about who pissed on who's patents...
