It's amazing that you're so new to this site that you don't understand that putting part of the comment in the subject line is meant to grab attention..
BAH. REAL INTERNET USERS KNOW THAT THE BEST WAY TO GRAB ATTENTION IS TO TYPE EVERYTHING IN CAPS AND BOLD. FUCKIN NEWBS WITH THEIR DUMB-ASS SPLITTING THE COMMENT OUT - TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE
besides, exactly how does splitting the comment attract attention? i don't even know someone's done it until after i start reading their comment....
yeah there really should be an easy system to undo your own mods. i don't see how it could be abused, you don't need to get the points back, hell it could even cost an extra point. the definitely store which comments you've modded which is why you can't mod the same comment twice. i'm assuming they'd also store what your mod was.
1) He thinks that "a letter from my doctor" is some sort of do-anything-you-want card in private establishments across the world.
no he doesn't. where does he say that anywhere. i would hope a letter from my doctor might help some crazed nutjob understand he is being completely irrational and does not need to assualt me just because i've decided to do something meaningful with my life and actually pursue the betterment of man........you know the note explaining what i'm wearing might actually come in handy.
. Hey, look, I have a letter here which looks like it's signed by a doctor, I can come into your establishment wearing whatever I want!
note or no note i wouldn't kick you out for wearing what you want. i'd likely kick you out for being a dick though.
2) He thinks that the correct thing to do when you are "assaulted" is to write a report for the Internet and to supply random pictures, calling lots of people "perpetrators";
no he thinks the correct thing to do is contact the relevant authorities (police and the store) which is exactly what he did.
3) He says that these "perpetrators" caused the pictures because his system automatically takes pictures when it is knocked to the floor. Unless you're a lawyer, buddy, don't try to lawyer an argument;
rationally explaining a situation in full != lawyering an argument.
4) He claims that he "contacted the embassy, consulate, police, etc. without much luck". In what way did he lack "luck"?
umm, in that they were of absolutely no assistance. it's kinda self explanatory. i would think you simply didn't understand the meaning of the phrase 'not having any luck' if it weren't for your next sentence.
I've got several family members living in France and they've never suffered from lack of "luck" when reporting a physical assault.
lucky them
Maybe he doesn't know how to speak French and refused to accept a translator or find his own. Maybe he presented this weird page instead of stating that he had been attacked, answering the inevitable questions concerning what happened, and leaving the law to do its work.
Maybe neither of these things are the case. in fact there's absolutely zero evidence that either of these things happened (in fact based on everything he's written in that blog-post i would doubt he cannot speak french, let alone refuse a translator)
you are not liable for such purchases as you never entered into an agreement to purchase them. Apple can't bill you for them. Apple can't bill you for anything, because you don't have a billing account with Apple. The could suspend your Apple account; however, if they do thatanyone who's acoount is suspended might as well just jailbreak their device.
They can not do anything to your actual phone service as they are not a party to your agreement with your carrier.
then let's not stoop to advertising black-hat services.
Yes, instead we should bury our heads in the sand and pretend it doesnt exist. people who know about the exploit can then continue to use it. App developers can remain blissfully unaware that people are getting their in-app purchases for free.
lets never show news that anything is ever wrong with the world. perhaps we could build some sort of filter for the internet that blocked everything we didn't want the public to hear.
it is also debatable as to if this a a black-hat method in the first place:
- You're not actually tricking the server into thinking you have paid for the item so that it sends it to you.
- You are unlocking functionality that already exists within the app that the developer has already either sold to you or given to you for free.
You aren't going to live forever in the first place, so what difference is it if someone kills you today? I mean can it really be called murder? I mean you were going to die anyway! Whats the big diff?
if someone kills me today, and i would have lived another 3 years had they not killed me. then i have been deprived of three years life.
your example would be more analogous* to the argumet "Well if i pay for the software, the author is just going to spend the money anyway. so in the end, he will not end up with the money"
no one is making that argument.
*would still be a bad analogy but it's about as close as i could get to something in the same realm.
I cannot tell you how many times I've been in situations where I didn't have a battery charger and needed all the battery power I could get and needed to be awaken in the morning.
The above indicates nothing so much as your own lack of preparation.
It is trivially easy to have chargers in one's home, car, workplace, and briefcase.
The above indicates nothing so much as your own lack of imagination. HINT: i don't carry a portable power-point.
Next time just post: "I am stupid and i love trolling"
I should have mentioned that as well because it furthers my point.
No, it doesn't. their suit over "push e-mail" was the counter-suit. it even mentions that in the article you linked to. (last paragraph)
The two companies are still involved in a patent dispute in Texas. Visto sued RIM for patent infringement, prompting a countersuit from the BlackBerry maker.
i'm sorry i missed the memo where 'existing idea but on a phone' became novel and imaginative are we agreeing with 'existing idea on the interwebs' is novel and imaginative now too?
you're claiming that people died as a result of the leaks, and you think that requesting some sort of evidence of a single person that has died is unreasonable to believe you? now i understand how the right can believe so much.
you might also try clicking the seventh result from your link.
U.S. officials concede that they have no evidence to date that the documents led to anyone's death.
note:that story is for 2010, however i cannot find any instanced of deaths since then.
here's another tip for you, the fact that a something occurs in google search results does not mean that that thing happened, or perhaps i misjudged you? you have to actually look at the resuts. i looked at the results of your search and none of them showed any deaths. one of them was titled 'Borderland Beat: WikiLeaks: Mexican Informants Killed' but i'm assuming you didn't actually read it as the only deaths mentioned in it were from before the cable leaks. i'm pretty sure mexican drug cartels don't have time travel yet.
"Our test results show that two 5-minute chunks of consecutive viewing without major interference by other appliances is sufficient to identify the content,"
it's not that weird, there are three options for taskbar buttons, 'Always Combine, Hide Labels', 'Combine when taskbar is full', and 'Never combine' the second two of these options will give the effect i described. many people use these options.
The most I ever get is a minor effect that indicated that there are multiple windows opened
because you have different setting to me. settings that i would not use as they reduce usability for me in other ways.
yes it does, which you are clearly aware of as in the very same post you even point out an instance when it does expand i'll even quote it for you.
What you are describing, expanding pinned apps, happens only if you choose the XP behavior for the taskbar.
which i do. therefore this is an issue for me. and many other people. icons only without text would be less useable for me as when i have multiple instances of the same program open (e.g. multiple spreadsheets) i like to know which one i am clicking on based on the text. i am not alone.
Again, in Windows 7, the default behavior is that a pinned app icon never moves on the taskbar.
awesome, so i can just change all my settings back to something i find far less efficient, and i'll get back some of the benefits of quick launch.
thank-you, i really missed quick launch and will definately be adding it back when i get home:)
it's not just the absolute positioning i miss, i also like setting the size of of my quick launch too small and using the double arrows as a mini start menu for slightly less often used things (i usually have browser + winamp visible, with all my games in the menu)
Slashdot Mirror
I believe he's referring to App sales not phone sales.

but but, apple kept saying they were the same thing. that's enough research isn't it?
pedophelia and downloading copyrighted material are the same thing because they are both illegal.
people want to violate little children
people want to listen to music for free
yeah there really should be an easy system to undo your own mods.
i don't see how it could be abused, you don't need to get the points back, hell it could even cost an extra point.

This is security through obscurity
i don't think that means what you think it does.
When you're writing malware, you don't have to get 100% of your target... 5% is valuable too. Or even 1%
1. 100% is much more valuable than 5%
2. the people with non-compromised devices will be much happier.

man who was satisfied and went away was not one of the perpetrators
this is a news site.
it's news.
this is a site aimed towards somewhat technologically knowledgeable people.
it gave a somewhat technologial account of what the hack is.
i don't understand your issue.
you are not liable for such purchases as you never entered into an agreement to purchase them.
Apple can't bill you for them. Apple can't bill you for anything, because you don't have a billing account with Apple.

b) the ban wasn't lifted, just temporarily removed until further legal wranglings.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-nexus-ban-temporary-lifted-100109/ [androidauthority.com]
temporarily removed = temporarily lifted = lifted(if stated after the starting point of the period in which it was temporarily lifted)

i had sex with your mom last night, it usually doesn't involve nukes.
it's like you take your car and go to a drive in physics lecture and then can see that there really is something smaller that makes up the glass.

You can run these games on Linux without wine. My gaming machine is my LINUX machine.
yeah well, my gaming machine runs games.
