When laws hurt more than they help, they need to be changed or abolished.
Or in this case just not established in the first place. Thankfully the New Zealand Prime Minister has delayed the implementation of Section 92a and it may well be suspended. A big thank you has to go out to all those who took part in the Internet Blackout NZ... blacking out NZ websites and profiles on popular social networking sites in protest of the proposed changes.
Putting the automated banning systems abuse, 18th century attitudes and humans rights violations aside... 'Think of the Children!"
There are a lot of kids playing video games... so advertising your sexual preference in your profile is a bit off, regardless of what it is.
Apples OSX does not come with any crappy activation key or other pain in the a$$ copy protection system, so their actual install base could be way higher than reported. Of course you still need Mac hardware to install OSX on, but there is nothing to stop you (except the law) from buying 1 copy of OSX and updating all the Macs in your building.
>OSX can only realistically come from one over priced manufactuer where as Linux is free and can be installed on any machine.
Overpriced? Thanks, but my time is valuable... I'd rather pay the very reasonable price and have the OS up and running in an hour than spend days messing around with Linux trying to get some driver working. Please dont compare apples with linuxes. Its called 'choice'... use it and enjoy the results.
I think the reason Microsoft see Linux as the competition is that Apple is in another league and as wfolta stated above 'every Windows box is a potential Linux box'.
"Although this RF target level does not preclude further rollout of WiFi technologies, we also recommend that wired alternatives to WiFi be implemented, particularly in schools and libraries so that children are not subjected to elevated RF levels until more is understood about possible health impacts.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
