Apple pulled this from Mail with Lion for that reason. Spammers don't really care if your email is real or not. At least not much.

if the people who responded to this actually had some knowledge about the United Kingdom's legal structure.

Probably not going to happen.

In Canada, the Security Guard's case would be dubious. While a shopping mall is private property it's not "private" private property. They could legitimately ask you to leave, but not confiscate your property.

This, of course, has nothing whatsoever to do with the case in the United Kingdom.

Rght..so they designed a port that has multiple charging pins, av in and out data connections for more than one bus and a variety of other features based on "make it this wide and this thin--even though that other port did none of it."

Right...

Sheesh. D people seriously just post random brain matter up here and see what sticks?

Lucas uses the Shakespearean interpretation argument on occasion. I don't buy it: it's not someone else interpreting, it's his senile mind changing.

The problem is people keep buying the damn movies. Remember when Coke changed their formula and what happened then? Yeah: if people stopped buying the releases, the originals would be back.

Never gonna happen, sadly.

Heh. Damn iPad keyboard. Sorry!

So it's OK to add things unless you think the additions are bad? Who the fuck are you: Irwin Kirshner?

Uh, no. Your cell phone does not produce better footage than a 335mm film camera.

The film stock might have aged badly due to poor preservation, but that is not the same thing at all.

Bulldog clips that you can buy at Staples or Office Depot are genius for home. Run the cables Turku the wings and clip them somewhere. I use them to manage drive and power cables. Recently did the same for my mother's printer and camera cables and she no longer drops them.

Good support. It seems obvious to me, but anyway....

I had two Movable Type sites hosted at two different companies At the first one suddenly my PHP includes broke. I went back and forth with them for a week with them denying any knowledge or problems, and ended up having to rewrite the includes. No matter how many times I explained to them that I'd made no changes, the answer was the same...

A couple of months later the same thing happened at the second one. Five minutes after emailing support they told me the default on allow_url_include had changed, and they reactivated it for my install.

The difference was astonishing. A one week argument versus a five minute fix.

(Yes, I generally try to avoid URL Includes these days, though I still like them because they make code portable..)

Sure, but that's the whole point...Apple's market share is comparatively small.

Filing an anti-trust suit against your local book store for selling self-published works by local authors wouldn't make any sense; filing one against Chapters/Borders/Amazon might.

I'm not saying that if I were The Steve this is a decision I would have made...but Apple's got no more obligation to provide support for "universal" hardware than any other software vendor.

My iPhone won't run Windows Mobile: is that Microsoft's fault? Just because the Atom's instruction set is substantially similar to a standard Intel CPU doesn't mean supporting it is required.

modern women had sex with neanderthals.

Really? Bonuses for individual employees that do great work are more important to you than the greater social good that is potentially created by a fair and balanced taxation system? Universal medicare for example?

I'm not opposed to the concept of bonuses, but to argue that they're "more important" than taxes is to ignore any history of benefits that you may have gained or may in the future gain from the common social contract.

There's a reason we organize into political structures, the common good is one of the key ones. When the individual becomes MORE important than the collective you're standing on the precipice of a slippery slope.

There is of course a flip side, but don't give me some bullshit Soviet Union/Cuba/China communism argument. In all of these cases an elite group of individuals *espoused* the importance of the collective good, while simultaneously protecting their own selfish interests.

So...maybe you think your taxes are already fair, but it *seems* like Microsoft is trying to have their cake and eat it too, and Washington state is being left on the hook.

Frankenstein.
Alice in Wonderland.
The Time Machine.
20,000 Leagues.
Neuromancer (a great example of how science fiction is of its moment...Neuromancer has no cell phones, as they were rare and Gibson hadn't imagined them.

I'd include some Phillip K. Dick and a work by Robert Heinlein as well. The former because I like to screw kids up mentally as much as I can, the latter because while I've never liked much Heinlein its place in history is undoubted.

There have been quite a few gutless cars manufactured with standard gasoline engines too. My mother buys Chrysler products, so I'm intimately familiar with this thanks to a steady progression of K-cars, Shadows, Neons, SX 2.0s and finally the pinnacle represented by the Dodge Kaliber.

Well, clearly you're NOT a code because if you were you would have titled that post "Response 2.1.1 Beta Relase. Do not read on production systems!"
