Don't attempt to reason with the self-righteous. Apple is EVIL, they are stealing your freedom, read the memo.

Is this something you have said to yourself repeatedly or a pre-prepared cop-out for the next time you fail?

Typo 2nd bullet, "freamwork", 3rd bullet "intented". Actually, I'll stop there. Lots of typos, you should get them fixed, it makes you look sloppy.

A linkbait headline that makes the writer seem like the one that is stupid. If anything he seems to be saying that old known mistakes don't get fixed as we don't learn from the past. This is not evolution but it is an example of the widesc

Thurott has been called a Microsoft fanboy, and Gruber has been called an Apple fanboy. If it matters, read and agree with whichever one reinforces your own personal prejudices. For me the Thurott comments are just Microsoft vapourware bein

My experience is that the people who jerk you around with contracts are usually bad payers. If it's a bad contract then the prospect of income is very uncertain. Business ultimately relies in trust, if they give you a poor contract then it

Sampling is blatantly non-creative, "parody" is simply a weasely justification for riding on the coat tails of someone else's accomplishment, "creative interpretation" ditto.

"IP was supposed to aid creative expression, not stifle it!" IP is supposed to benefit creators not plagiarists. Copying someone elses' work is not creative expression.

This is old, the iso was created in '04 and the newsgroup hasn't had a posting since '06. Is it still active?

So is this company run by 13-year olds? They just can a product line without thinking through the consequences?

MySQL is a triumph of branding and fanboy self-delusion. MySQL made it easier initially by omitting lots of difficult stuff (data integrity, management, transactions) thus making easier to get something working quickly. It also had a reputa

The full quote was “I wouldn’t use this service if you paid me in gold-plated puppies… but I think you should be charging $X”. The "... but" part is why their opinion is worthless. And if you base your advice on selective quotation you shou

In your zeal to denigrate Apple you've missed the point, or perhaps you thought you were posting about Microsoft? The iPod's success was down to the whole package, excellent product design, good (but not excellent) performance and iTunes. D

There is an option "Require password <time period> after sleep or screen saver begins" in the Security preferences, general tab. I'll bet yours is set to something other than "immediately".

I am somewhat older than you. This is an insight I wish I'd when I was your age. A useful lesson, one that will strengthen you for the future.
