I'd have a hard time believing they were doing that since in a whole bunch of sporting events have a person dressed up in a costume i.e. mascot. If I saw a furry in the stands, I'd just think it was someone doing a stunt rather than a person trying to stand up for a lifestyle choice, even walking down the street I…

I have a reason, I have a HDMI splitter and because HDMI as a protocol is annoying, everything must run with the same resolution. So my 55" TV would only get a 720p signal.

It depends if all the regular joe's who bought the stock purely because it "only goes up" herd mentality people have been shaken out yet. Apple was priced to perfection, I'm not sure it still doesn't have some perfection to shake out still. It's not a dead stock but until more the people who have emotional ties to…

NDA & non-competes prevent the employee from doing something, not preventing another company not party to the agreement from doing something. Individual employees within a company might have to decline offers but they can't stop other companies from asking to begin with.

I'd suggest relooking at the last Jobs email, where he not-so-discrectely tells Palm to stop recruiting their employees also you might want to look at Apple's patent portfolio, hint, hint, hint. That seems eerily similar to what I'd expect a mobster to say to a local businessman. Nice place you got here... be real…

This is the government we are talking about anything will less than a word that starts with a "B" is rounding error (whether or not it should be is another question). i.e 48 million/year is less around 0.02% of what we pay just in interest on debt per year.

Because in this situation Google is trying to make a 3D map trying to present height and depth, where Apple was screwing up a simple 2D map... the ones that actually work on Google. If Google was also screwing up a 2D map or sending people 100 miles away from their destination, you'd have a point, but they aren't.

There have been some awesome re-releases though. Zeppelin & Janis Joplin CD box sets FTW.

The larger the organization gets the less concerned they get about managing costs. Oh you'll find a number of bean counters who remove things here and there but in general, the waste, corruption, and just don't care what I spend it on but got to spend my budget or it will be less next year goes up. The reason why…

That wasn't a racist Tea party guy, that was one of the racist union guys, talking about importing steel & parts for the auto factories. I live in Michigan and you should here the way the union workers talk about people from Mexico & Asia, so very embarrassing.

Because everything would evolve into lowest common denominator, remember all the 80 & 90's R rated thriller movies? That genre is pretty much dead now because why make a movie for 30% of the population when you can get 70% of the population with a PG or PG13 movie. No chances would be taken, everything would have to…

20,000 songs assuming an average of 3 minutes a piece:

Ah yes there is the super secret uber handicapped permit, that lets one park in places that block the sidewalk used by "walkers" and allows one to block handicap vehicle elevators for the "rollers". It requires one to be in a state without any limbs, blind, deaf, and mute (i.e. guy from Metallica one video)... Why…

I've always thought the "born gay" was a completely idiotic concept. It's used by people who have zero scientific information in their head. If you've ever seriously argued that people were ever truly born gay, then you are a moron.

Ummm... it's more that they were caught boozing it up, fired and then the union got them rehired. No where in your Lockheed article did it talk about firing and then the union getting the company to rehire anybody. It did say that a number of people did get fired, which is what I'd expect out of any company where…

How to get into an expensive car and not be rich.

Never going to happen, he is on record as President saying that he actually HEARS the voice of God in his head and has a conversation with him (which is friggin scary, same kind of "voices" Abraham supposedly heard in his head before he thought God ordered him to kill his son)... Bush didn't even go that far with his…

Apple's historical actions also is the reason why.

Being an Unix admin for over a decade... I have to disagree with you. The sandboxing a Mac does gives no real benefit for workstations which if you are on a Mac 99.99999% of the time it's a workstation environment. Because they are leveraging Unix traditional security, you are correct that privilege elevation is…

Honey walnut chicken in limited quantities is my favorite, in mass quantities General Tso's extra spicey.
