No reason ordinary folk shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the benefits of an un-crippled, unrestricted phone.
It's these same people who don't care if their Windows machine is full of viruses from opening their firewall since it was "inconvenient." With these people, a botnet of iPhones is just a matter of time.
That seems a bit excessive when a simple one-time usage of the included "passwd" utility will suffice. Srsly though, jailbreaking utilities should be pestering users to change their password from the default because this is only scaring less-knowledgeable folk into thinking Jailbreak == viruses
Honestly, if the people reading it don't realize it is obsessive, they probably shouldn't have jailbroke their phones in the first place. When you hack something on a public controlled network, you best not be mindless. This message hits exactly the people who should return to the standard firmware and nor more.
This is the same company that came up with WGA. If you don't have a genuine install, they gimp your computer which can be caused just by switching out video cards etc. Now come one. You could not have possibly been totally blind sided by this.
On top of that, venders who have their products run on a network retooling things when the checksums don't work is not new, either. This is hardware that doesn't expect itself to be modified. When strange hardware comes onto your network that you don't expect to be there, it seems prudent to ban it. Security 101.
A quick tip for most internet browsers is that you can change the size of things on a web page by holding control and then using the scroll wheel on your mouse.
Having that go off when trying to control-clicking things in Firefox to bring up a new tab has made me absolutely loath that feature. I really should turn it off someday rather than swearing every time it happens.
It goes both ways. I've been dealing with a lot of amateur Japanese translators as of late. When they don't have any schooling, I quickly noticed they tend to have exactly the same weaknesses. Especially when they are haughty. I think this applies to programmers in many instances, too.
More often than not my experience has been just the opposite. The ones who embrace lifelong learning are the ones who weren't jaded by laboring 4 years over subjects that did little more than made them "well rounded" only to come out with a piece of paper, no experience, and no job prospects.
Agreed, it does tend to go that way. But still, one doesn't guarantee the other. I can't help but feel that there has to be a better way to learn these things than to set yourself in debt for a decade. I've gone to school for two years for computer engineering, and I find it really sad when I still run people can't figure out how to set up a GUI compiler if they have made it that far into the program. Meh. They don't even try to google anything.
A degree certifies that you've read and to some degree understood, the book.
Which could possibly be a very old book that has nothing to do with the things of today. When you get out of college, you are not supposed to stop reading, but a college degree doesn't certify that. Heck, some old timers might still not understand object-oriented programming.
This is a field where you are supposed to be reading anyway

Apple specifically created their filesystem tools to kill the 3rd party market for hard drives and other peripherals such as CDROM drives.
If you buy the correct brand, the part would work. For example, Pioneer DVR 115/106/107 were the correct brand in the G3 era for DVD drives. Notice how they are not "Apple" brand. Outside of stuff apple never expect most people to change, I have never had any tricky hardware problems. The worst issue I ever went through was when my B&W G3 needed firmware flashing to allow G4 processors because they were explicitly blocked. Apple seems to be particularly strict about the CPUs. Other stuff...seemed to work fine as long as you had the correct drivers.
Microsoft is the whipping boy. Microsoft does get undue flack in certain areas, but their history is what does it to them. They just love to copy stuff, ranging from source code to general hardware designs. At the same time, their innovations aren't given a due chance or are ignored as game changing.
Some oddness in my psyche when I approach Microsoft and Apple OS features: When Apple does the copying, I picture it as them trying to make things more comfortable for switchers. When Microsoft does the copying, I picture it as a way to stop bleeding market share.
Okay, about the Rio: What are you talking about? It doesn't even look like they have color screens, let alone a touch screen.
I also seriously doubt if Microsoft was separated away from Apple they would have made a touch screen Zune when they did. If you say so, though.
With the xbox, MS managed to bring networked gaming to the masses. But they somehow managed to create a controller that reminded a lot of people remarkably of the GameCube controller. Especially the S version. Sega managed to create much more original designs in general, and Sony did have their own controller. What happened to Microsoft?:-/
Meh. Apple is pretty happy where they are. If their hardware suits you and fits your needs, buy it as necessary. Otherwise, avoid it. Many many people have a hard time doing that. If Apple finds themselves needing to change because of this down the road, they will. It's that simple.
If you're building a hackintosh, good for you. Tinkering with things like that can be fun. But please don't start acting like Apple is supposed to support you. Don't install it on production machines. The hacking part of the hackintosh is supposed to be half the fun anyway. But that is it.
I've seen this explanation a few times, but none of them say straight out that the guy with the older non-commercial language is going to have to change the name of it. Or if eventually the site is going to be DMCAed or whatever.
It's not that rare. Many cellphones are going this route nowadays as well as the Mac OS X dashboard widgets and Mac OS X apps. Then of course, there are the gtk javascript bindings.
Javascript is finding itself in more and more places nowadays.
I know correlation doesn't mean causation or anything but from my experience, the most vocal of the self professed "good" drivers seem to get in the most accidents. It's really weird...
Just recently I got Deadspace for the Wii (an FPS) and it turns out you can't even control the movement of your character - the game boils down to, as your character moves on his own, moving your aiming reticule as fast as possible to aim at the head of whatever comes your way and pressing button and pressing other-button to open doors and other such "puzzles". You could train a monkey to beat that game.
You lose the game by aiming only for the head. The series is famous for its "strategic dismemberment". I recommend you google it.:)
This isn't a case of "not supporting" a specific chip. By default it worked just fine, and is working just fine for many people currently using OS X on the Atom. No, this is a case of deliberately disabling a working feature for the express purpose of forcing you to buy their hardware over another's.
And how do you know this? Did you do testing? Did you go through the Q&A? Did you know that if you program for W3C HTML specs it should work for any compliant browser. But people still do block out unsupported ones sometimes...
No...We have to remember that Apple is evil at all times for not supporting hardware they do not officially support. Sorry my bad. Thank you for opening my eyes.
The other issue is the users who will immediately start pirating Mac OS X when the price goes up if it is offered for generic hardware. You know it will happen.
That makes no sense. It was never supported to begin with. It may have ran, but so does a car with a rocket attached to propel it. People determined to get mad about silliness. (This happens with MS articles too from time to time...)
Hrm. You contradict yourself a lot a and I don't think you know the difference between major releasing and incremental releasing methodology. I urge you to read Release early, release often.
It must sound as snazzy as Gratis. I vote for La Résistance as it will transform the image of us freedom fighters into that of cunning sophisticated individuals. The word is probably closer to the ideology of many of it's supporters, too.

Everything Japanese is better when it is the "From Space" version. Maybe they will add some guns or wings to it by then.
