  1. Re: Goverrnment on DOJ Threatens To Seize iOS Source Code (idownloadblog.com) · · Score: 1

    Ahhaa

    I guess we'll see if Apple are above the law. In principle, I see no reason why an army of lawyers can't put one above the law if membership in a police organisation can.

  2. Ahaha on DOJ Threatens To Seize iOS Source Code (idownloadblog.com) · · Score: 1

    This has been Apple's plan all along. Their brains will melt from dealing with all the one-pixel gifs

    Because banks?

  4. It's not good when you can't even force your shit on people for free.

    Disclaimer: I opted-in by purchasing a Windows 10 device.

  5. I imagine there were some anxious moments there lest the study find that completely removing [y]our beloved guns from [your] society might have a significant impact on gun-related deaths.

  6. Is this like the scene where Neo dives headlong into Agent Smith's torso in Matrix n ?

  7. Sharon Bradford Franklin, a spokesperson for the PCLOB, said the rule changes move to enhance privacy. She could not say when the rules actually changed -- that, too, is classified

    Did anyone else's next-word predictor colour 'enhance' as 'eliminate' ?

  8. Uhh? on KeRanger Mac Ransomware Based On Linux Forebear, Not Windows · · Score: 3, Funny

    This appears to be a doubly-impossible scenario as both Linux and Mac are secure by default.

  9. Own? I'm talking about running a games studio from a table =)

  10. On the plus side the staff can just move en-masse to a Starbucks of their choice and start up again as co-owners.

    Yah; I'm totally with you.

    In my arbitrarily-chosen opinion, the whole thing is theatre. If they wanted to, they'd have coerced Apple behind closed doors; therefore, I conclude, there is some benefit to doing the whole thing out in the open.

    Correct me if I'm mistaken but isn't this kind of thing usually done without fanfare - these types love secrecy - for themselves.

    Uhh... the victims" families appear to fall within the set of currently living people and therefore according to your position, they matter too.

    Associative memory is scary. When I see your name, I cannot help butt think of butts.

    One doesn't need a motivé for inaction. On the contrary, one needs a motive for action.

    What is the motive here?

    I guess there's the sense that mental dexterity in one arena translates well into others.

    Hmm. Appeal-to-authority says something differing from what's apparently good sense. Maybe we're wrong? Waiiiiit...

  16. Wow. It's as simple and self-contained as that. Glad to have that cleared up. Go about your business folks, there's no ongoing concern of this becoming the widely-available weakest link to anyone hoping to target apple users in the future.

    Let's remember 'preemptive response' from the US playbook of illogical terms.

  18. Just a wild speculation.... have US defence budgets been reduced lately, perchance?

    Agreed; by deliberately:

    * not being American or Israeli

    * having an objection to American Imperialism

    * being far enough away from the US and different enough (they don't wear baseball caps ffs - obviousy terrorists!) that they make good enemies-of-the-US for propaganda purposes

    * then having the indecency to have children they have clearly brought this on themselves

  21. You realise that this can be read outside the US where we aren't susceptible to US flavored fearmongering?
