Nope, you're quite wrong there. You see, at least here in Finland (and probably in other European countries) it is illegal to collect (or to create a database) of identifiable information without a valid reason ( and even then it is restricted). The point is not that you're broadcasting something, the point is that collecting that information and creating a db might be illegal.

But was it there at the time this happened? I'm pretty sure it wasn't. And BTW, what if he had just stepped in front of a bus? Had they still charged him for not providing the passwords?

Yeah, well, where I live we have the heating on 9 months a year. And for the 3 months we don't use heating, the need for lighting is minimal. And no, it's not saving energy, but it's not wasting it either. And it still takes a lot less poisonous materials to produce.

Are you trolling, or just being ignorant? If Apple censors one kind of political propaganda, but accepts other kinds, the accepting others makes things WORSE, not better. You see, if they deny all political content, fine, they just want to be un-political. If they want to decide which propaganda is OK (or if they're getting paid to accept certain propaganda), that's the worst kind of censorship. And we should congratulate them for this?

Not only that, but is this even Legal? IANAL and I'm very unfamiliar with US laws, but I think that at least in Finland it would be illegal to alter a book (without the Author's consent) an then sell it. (And this is a right that the Author can't even give away)

Sure. How much is 1/5 foot again? There are problematic numbers in every system, but this strawman seems to jump up every time.

At least for me, remembering numbers like 5280 doesn't sound any easier than knowing that for example 100/8 is 12.5.

Which is just why we have the prefixes, like kilo- centi- etc. Normally for instance kilograms are used instead of grams (unless the amount is under 1 kilogram), centimeters are used instead of meters if the length is under 1 meter etc. Just as easy as feet or pounds, just lot less to remember. And the mathematics of it, we use base 10 mathematics anyway, so you do have to learn your math in any case. Whereas having to know how many feet are there in a mile is knowledge only needed because of those units. All in all, I happen to think that people feel the system they've used to is easier only because theyve learned it since childhood.

So, you're saying Apple is just another malware writer these days?

Are you being idiot on purpose? If your mom asks you that question, it's because you KEEP DOING WHATEVER YOUR FRIENDS DO. The anecdotal story is demonstrating the fact the people know already that friends affect your behavior, you "copy" your friends.

So, you just proved the parent's point that the homeschooling is done because of whackjob parents who don't like the fact that schools actually educate children instead of feeding the "true science" your religion happens to accept. BTW. The only "politicised nonsense" in schools taught instead of science is creationism. And luckily that isn't taught in all the schools.

Well, I'm sad to say, but that's how it goes according to the law in Finland. You are allowed to sell the book you own, or you can lend it, but You're not allowed rent it out for money.
The "over the Internet" is just there because the law speaks about making a book (or another piece of copyrighted material) available to the public for rental, and being in the Internet is a proof of being available to the public.
You may not like it, I definitely don't like it, but that's the law in Finland.

Well, I don't know about you but I usually use only one hand...

Yeah, as if there were no exploits for unpatched vulnerabilities. I have an idea, why doesn't MS just stop creating patches for good? By your logic that would stop the exploits from appearing.

It's just like the MS argument: If you can't see the code (or the patch), you can't find the hole. Only thats just a load of BS, as proven so often by exploits to yet-unpatched MS holes.

Excuse me, but I don't believe you. Where's the proof? Show me the proof!

No, that is not an example of why Wikipedia is fundamentally flawed. It's an example of how the newspapers don't do their job right. It's their job to check their facts and not use Wikipedia for that. And definately you should give low credits to (or even fail) any essays that cite Wikipedia. But even that doesn't mean Wikipedia is flawed. I just means it should not be used as a authoritative source of information.

WTF? That has nothing to do with keeping stuff away from other peoples eyes. Havent you ever heard of user permissions?
