Well, someone gains by making money on someone else's work. I don't see how this can become a boost to regional economy unless it includes getting paid for material produced in other territories. There are pretty strong arguments to be made

Yes, but then that is a form of notification, although you could say that it's ambiguous to someone who doesn't use that feature and hit cmd+x by mistake. Or, let's say it's less clear than a alert dialog asking you to confirm. Having said

Hm, cmd + x does cut. Just not on files in Finder, the reason I suspect is the lack of a "forcing function" in such a case. It would for example be possible to lose files by mistakingly hit cmd + x. For other operations like this, (quitting

I have never used it. It looks nice, the only thing against it I can come up with is that it doesn't look like prototypes but more like a finished product, so it might not be as suitable for early tests.

That is interesting, we are not their customers but their resource. Their real customers are the companies that they sell our data to.

I don't think that would be a problem, if that was the case, the sensor would not work for it's original purpose either.

I don't think the main point was that Apple have crushed IBM, but to give some perspective on Apples recent success with a historical context.

Not really, since you have physical access to the file you can edit it. That should immediately disqualify it as evidence. I think this type of data normally is gathered from the phone company when used as evidence, then the involved partie

Well, I'm 38 years old, I am aware that drugs is out there and people want them. I'm not suggesting that what is done currently works, I'm not saying that we shouldn't be open to thinking about the problem differently. I'm certainly not sug

I think there's a time limit in place to make you think twice before you reply, and avoid flame wars. It has little to do with credibility, but your comment appeared as pretty naive. Your reply surprise me since you know "what happens when

Well have you got any experience of hard drugs? If so have you seen the downside yet? It doesn't appear so. First of all, alcohol is not without problems, how much does alcohol cost society, how many violent crimes, divorces, lost jobs and

Yes, and I can agree somewhat with the reasoning behind it. Instead of chasing the end users, they are focusing their resources on the dealers and smugglers. Similar programs have been tested in Great britain in some select cities where kno

Yes, however free supply will drive down prices. The current street price that people are perfectly willing to pay for 1 gram of cocaine tells a lot about the demand, and just how addictive the drug is. There is no reason legal cocaine woul

It's a difficult problem. The alternatives to prohibition isn't any better in my opinion. Edit: I'll add this, much of the root cause comes down to poverty as well. Edit: OK down voter, it's an easy problem. It has nothing to do with the po

Looking for a 7 letter word from this list: http://www.world-english.org/english500.htm gives 27 hits. Could be a name as well though. I realize this might appear as unsophisticated brute force, I'm just thinking aloud really.

Yes, but we are not discussing copyright, and I'm not making a case either against or for DRM. DRM is just a technical means used to prevent someone from making a copy, or use something in a manner not intended. My only point is, that neith

Yeah, but the problem is whose definition of furtherance we should use, certainly it could fit into almost any agenda depending on who you ask. I think it's highly probable that these founding fathers would actually stand up and defend a ma

Certainly, but what I opposed was the generalization "great things come from those willing to break the law". It's an attempt to create an association with something that is generally agreed upon being something good, and law breaking in ge

But not necessarily so. It's an inappropriate generalization, what illegal behavior is good, all of it?

Over a long period of time (say 10 years) I could see this working as intended. All current .com domains would probably have to get their identical .xxx domain for free however so they could re-direct traffic to their new .xxx domain. Why w

Yeah, but that was hardly my point, if the reason for the change was visibility in small size, they would have been better off just modifying the icon. I definitely agree that it does have higher visibility in small size than the old one.

Totally agree with this, it reminds me of impenetrable software and unsinkable ships.

I still don't understand why this would be better than official sources of what has taken place. Sure for a background on the design of the plant in laymans terms, but. The event described is of what happened at the 12th, since then there h

Completely agree with this. On the other hand, all their safety mechanisms so far have failed. Electric, diesel based and the automatic steam based. Which is why they now manually try to pump in sea water (according to what I have understoo
