It automatically detects your OS depending on which you're using when you donate.

@ jo_ham - I believe they posted a detailed analysis of the donation breakdown per OS right after the first bundle.

really, that;s nothing new. iTunes has always been about selling you things.

Honestly though, it's never made sense to me why they would try to sell me copies of songs/albums that I already own.

It's because my computer isn't hooked up to my television where I can game from the couch

One huge difference, even if the tax returns were stolen by the DNC, is that the goal of the Watergate robbery was to cover up information, and the tax returns were stolen in order to give the American public more information (or to make a million bit coin bucks, but you'd have to be pretty dumb to think you would be able to get away with that).

I agree with the parent that well known figures receive much more than their share of protection by the law. It makes some sense for political figures, as they can make some pretty powerful enemies in the course of their work, but it makes me sick when millions are spent chasing down a kid email hacker when murder cases are closed because no one really gives a damn.

I don't know what they're talking about, MySpace was already long dead when News Corp bought them (where dead is defined as no longer the place where everyone and their mother's cousin creates an account). I was laughing at them the day they bought it, no need for hindsight on this one!

It still has menus and a docking panel at least. Most of the new features are additions to the OS rather than replacements. Integrating the desktop OS with mobile users is different than treating those desktop users as if they WERE mobile users.

I should HOPE they're planning on using Hurd, the GNU people have been working on it for decades ...

Yeah, but Apple is smart enough not to put iOS on their desktop computers. Something Windows and GNOME/Ubuntu could learn from.

I've started making my coffee in a single serving cone filter. It tastes pretty good, and takes less effort than a french press. Stick in a filter, dump in some coffee grounds (I grind about once a week) and add hot water from my teapot. Sure, it doesn't compare to the flavor of a perfect cup, but it's pretty good for the amount of effort it takes me.

sorry, that should have read: if poor people were barred from an education.

I tend to agree with you that there should be greater standards, but I disagree that someone who has trouble with higher math (or any other single topic, especially if it has little to do with their chosen field) should be denied federal aid. Perhaps students could pay for remedial classes out of their own pocket?

Personally, I feel like I've wasted more money on classes I didn't need because of my BA/BS degree than on a couple extra math classes.

I just finished my first year at the local community college, and there are huge numbers of people there who are just plain not very smart. So, I can see your point, but you fail to look at a broader picture... There are also a large group of people returning to college after decades of employment elsewhere, they need a refresher course in the subjects they haven't touched since high school, and maybe won't use in their future degree either, but since we are stuck on liberal education in the USA, they have to re-learn it. Then, there are the people (like me) who aren't great at math, but are exceptional at other subjects. I got an A in my math class last term, but yeah, I had to study. If people were barred from an education simply because they weren't skilled in a subject that they didn't use and won't use in the future, that's pretty impractical and hardly fair.

yeah, but what if they're a trekker that just doesn't know it yet? What did *you* start with?

Personally, I started with First Contact, and yeah, I didn't get the references, didn't know about the Borg, etc. But, the acting was good, Patrick Stewart is hot and that led in to watching TNG, then TOS ... probably DS9 after I finish that.

It really depends on what other types of shows your friends like to watch ... just because your girl friend is a girl doesn't mean that she automatically likes touchy-feely drama. Not saying she doesn't, but hopefully you know what she likes better than we do. :-)

awesome!

I have a slightly different reason, but the same question. I'm in the middle of breaking up with my husband (6.5 years) and he knows some of my passwords ... I've decided to go through and change all of them, just to be on the safe side. My current passwords are a huge conglomeration from game level passwords to words to random strings. Some of them I haven't changed since the 1990s :-(

I'm not a fan of password managers, having seen it fail many times (granted those were mostly older people using it). How do you all pick good passwords that you can remember, as well as which sites they are for?

school girl, catholic school girl .. it's still the same problem.
