Why are you even on Slashdot? DO i have to spell out that the idea that Liberty does not need a reason to be enjoyed. IF i want to hack RFID at home for fun and not profit, who are you to say thats wrong? You catch me breaking into a building, you go right ahead and arrest me Mr Moral Crusader. Until then please shut up and let the grown ups use our tools. Am i not allowed to pick my own locks?
You mean like Kin, Zune or Plays for Sure? The original ipad was obviously a 'prototype' design to see if it would catch on. The ipad 2 should be considered the first true production ipad, and it runs the latest iOS. My fully 64 bit Mac Mini should get OS updates for a very long time. (the 64 bit issue is why we have seen a lot of older macs lose support.). Apple's 'planned obsolescence' is a bit overblown.
The government cant deny SPECIFIC people speech. Naming him in the park permit was a huge violation of the First. Also the government wouldn't be silencing you on the CONTENT of your speech, but the venue (yelling in the gutter). Since no one is allowed to yell in the gutter, its a not a free speech or equal treatment under the law issue.
Really looking forward to the day when i dont have to actively list obvious counter arguments every time i try to make a point. Mechanical Failure is always a given unknown that cant be stopped, only mitigated.
IF we are going to change the DCMA, the very first thing that needs to be changed is the prohibition on cracking encryption. Everything else is small potatoes in comparison.
All the things you listed were under Ballmer, not Nadella. They have ZERO chance of EVER being as powerful or influential as they were. Also, Nokia LET itself be consumed, they could have said no to the deal. Everyone and i mean EVERYONE knew what the 'burning platforms' memo meant.
And yet we do it EVERY SINGLE DAY in aircraft, military drones etc..... And if you think the government is super careful, read up on how many nuclear weapons were lost in the 50s and 60s due to accidents.
I dont see why CITIZENS should not be able to have armed drones under the 2nd amendment. The government has them, the citizens need a countermeasure. please save your 'should a citizen have an atomic bomb' arguments.
The funny thing is the State could ban cars, but not guns. Also, guns have a commonly accepted use by society purpose. People feed and protect their families with them.when i went to high school lots of my friends had hunting rifles in their car. Just because guns arent common to you, doesnt mean everyone freaks out the instant they see one.
What 'apps' do you need? I have yet to find even 'good' mobile apps, much less 'must haves.' Im getting a win10 phone BECAUSE it doesn't have a lot of apps. I just need basic file handling on my pocket computer, not the latest and greatest privacy invading apps.
Yesterday i converted a pdf to Word Online (free), uploaded it to Google Docs (free). I then saved it on Dropbox (2GB free), One Drive(15 GB free) Gdrive (15 GB free) and my personal NAS running linux (cost of hardware). Please explain where you see lock-in anywhere in this chain when my data moves freely among these disparate entities. I dont think you understand what 'lock-in' has meant historically.
Illegal is a matter of fact, not opinion. Messing with the airwaves (that we all own) for your own personal use certainly fits the bill for being immoral in my opinion. Jamming is bad and you should feel bad for thinking its ok.
Come on. IF you look at my post history you can see i have been slamming MS for 15 years and even I think they are turning the ship. OneDrive, Office and Cortana on Android would have been unthinkable for MS 10 years ago.
The FCC is not going to grant jammers to local Fire Depts. Federally, jamming is a non starter. Its wrong, illegal AND immoral. The only legal jammer i know of for use inside the US is the one that goes with the President.
Impossible. The parts are too easy to acquire to make a registry meaningful. You probably think people should use their real name on the internet and all computers be registered too, right? You go after the ones breaking the law, not blanket ban everyone.
NO fucking jamming. God damn why does this have to be continually explained, Jamming is not on the table at all, EVER in the USA. Its 100% illegal and will remain that way.
Facebook supports.gif now too. (hosted only, not personal uploads.). Google +'s number one problem is that it required a gmail address. Microsoft, Apple and Facebook will all accept other companies email addresses as logins, but not G+. Very few normals want yet another email address.

iOS is not the same kind of OS as Windows. Dishonest comparison.
IF time is free, sure.....

A proper consumer level flying car would have a hell of a lot more redundancy and would be able to self land safely at all times.
I still have the watch I purchased in the 20th Century. My pocket computer doesn't replace it.

And its wrong. Its merely the sovereign asserting its dominance, nothing more. Its a case of 'dont you dare point out the emperor has no clothes'

Apps suck, flat out. I would rather we go back to webpages then the privacy invading abomination we call apps. Apps were made for companies, not us.

That will be interesting since they LOADED Skype with ads from stem to stern.
