I do audio production and although some people swear by mac, you just have more options on a widows machine with so many 3rd party developers and amazing freeware options thanks to things like sythedit. Linux on the other hand is a bitch to do anything audio-wise - I keep all of my machines dual booting because I actually like linux but it just isn't functional for what I do at home.

Am I a criminal, considering how much "potential crack" is in my refrigerator under the name "baking soda" and how much "potential methamphetamine" is under my bathroom sink under the names "bleach" and "drano"......

actually we are complaining that people with money are "whining about our first world problems of not having enough luxuries" and pushing laws and regulations to crack down on the populace for not giving them an unending supply.

it would certainly be awesome if there were - though the whole monopoly on the hardware thing is what prevents it, most ROMs are compiled from other base ROMs and tweaked or rebuilt - as there is only one iOS and one line of hardware you don't really have the diversity of base developer ROMs to work from.

I didn't know that Bankok whores run code, let alone after work hours.

or they could just block everything starting with http: , https: and ftp:

See, this is why you aren't in the money and they are... as that would be a method, it would be a patent and not a copyright.

Yes.

Unfortunately that is the way that the system works. It isn't fair but it is the way it is and people don't want to change it because they don't realize how bad it is until the hammer hits them.

the same reason more people don't use linux, it is primarily designed for and by people interested in their functionality and not for the general public. That's why there are so many robust possibilities but you still end up with an isolated user base

kind of like you believe with a leap of faith that there aren't zombies roaming the streets and aliens taking over our cities?
it isn't a leap of faith to believe that something that you have no evidence of doesn't exist... it is faith when you believe that something with no evidence of it's existence does.

I want a pony.

The government only has as much power and money as you want to give it, unless you do stupid things like have been done recently. We have actively given up our rights over the last couple of decades, that isn't the government's fault - it is ours. The government isn't evil, people are just rash and reactionary and people IN the government take advantage of that.

I don't have a lot of love for the tablet since I have read other reviews that complained of the performance but when I read:

I couldn't really take anything he said seriously as I knew that the rest of the review would be a bunch of biased crap - and when he goes into the windows usage it did get really stupid.

Maybe actually using the credit cards isn't their MO, but they were behind the gawker intrusions which also stole passwords and account details. Anonymous being behind this makes sense because if you remember, right after doing the DOS attacks, they stopped and put out a public statement saying that they wanted to do something to directly affect Sony and not to bomb the servers because it only effected users. Ironically if they are behind it directly intruding on the servers actually affected users far more than the couple of days of DOS attacks as the network has been offline for weeks to shore up the security.

Actually, no. At least if you believe what you see on the news every other day, there has been a far larger focus on consumers than pornographers. Pornorgraphers seem to have more of a free pass, you hear about some high school teacher getting busted for viewing kiddie porn every other day but as far as those making the stuff - I think I remember a story of a ring going down a little while ago but it was an international ring and most of the people were overseas so I don't know how much the FBI was really responsible for.
