What is the point of an i$thing if you can't install apps on it?
Really I know tons of people who have installed dozens and dozens of apps on their iDevices and have not jailbroken them. Have they done so through magic? Or are you conflating the ability to install apps that almost no average user cares about with not being able to install anything at all?
People always talk about how it is the job of the SCOTUS to "interpret the constitution", but last time I read the document, it began with "WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT". *Self-evident*...
Oh really, it did? Cause last time I read the Constitution it started with:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
So...it has the same privacy violations as facebook...not seeing your point.
That's the entire point. It has the same privacy violations by default as Facebook thus negating the whole thing about how Google+ is so much greater about privacy than Facebook.
Yeah, you sure showed him with that plethora of examples of Amazon EC2, Rackspace's cloud services, Dell's cloud services, etc being breached. Oh wait, you didn't provide a single one.
Contractually guaranteed. Good luck with that contract, when your business depends on third party, third party fscks up and only you have is some paper.
Yeah, it's not like contracts are legally enforceable agreements between parties and you can sue the other side when someone breaches it. Oh wait, they are.
but for those just starting to go pro, $500 or more can easily eat up several weeks worth of profits.
Then that's a sign that you suck at your job. Almost all people I've known who have gone pro have easily made the money back in just a few days of work.
and they're using all of the Democrats that they've bought off. Hollywood = Democrat. Democrats = the ones pushing crap laws these days about "copyrights" and making it a felony to have a video camera in a movie theater.
*yawn* not this stupid canard again. Republicans are just as much supportive of this crap as the Democrats. Hell, the DMCA was introduced to the House by a Republican Representative and face pretty much no Republican opposition neither does most of the other copyright lunacy.
Who said anyone was afraid of reading it? It was a boring, rambling, typo and grammatical error filled post. Again, what does not wanting to read someone's shit post have to do with being a nerd?
Slashdot Mirror
Does anyone else think this article reads like it was written by an idiotic teenage girl?
That "greatest generation", i.e. the "boomers",
Wrong. The "greatest generation" was the generation who gave birth to the boomers.

Yeah, that whopping $99 dollars that might pay for half of a single phone! Such amazing savings!
Wow such an insightful article. Who would have thought that it would be dangerous in a country that has been a war zone for over 2 decades?
That's a red herring.
How so? On a daily basis I see multiple bikers violating traffic laws that would cost me 100s of dollars.
I obey traffic laws, and I know plenty of other cyclists who do so as well.
Yes, because you and the other cyclists you know clearly make up the entirety of all cyclists in the entire world. Oh wait...
Distracted drivers, however -- just like drunks -- make no distinction between scofflaws and law-abiding people.
Yeah, as opposed to the bikers who drive around with headphones on and are just as unaware of their surroundings as a distracted driver?
I know what will. required prison time and $100,000 in fines for killing a bicyclist with a car. THAT will make people aware of bicyclists.
Fine, as long as bicyclists get fined 1000x what a car does for running through red lights, stop signs and violating other traffic laws.
Open as in open specification.

Yes, because companies like Oracle are just tricked into lawsuits by lawyers so that they can lose money. Uhh, yeah you're full of shit.
Dalvik is not Java, which is an insurmountable hurdle.
Which means jack and shit. The patent, if held to be valid, in no way is only applicable if the implementation is of the Java language.
But I has it's uses for Certian Software.
Well then the Certian's probably need to upgrade their software.
Nice bit about customizing The Gimp.
And the 5 GIMP users will be thrilled.

Protip: Hulu is owned by major media companies. People who make up the very same people you call copyright trolls.
That's about people paying to advetise on hotmail. It says nothing about Microsoft selling user's info.
Submission: An open handheld terminal for retail stores?
It comes directly from the submitter's title in which they asked the question.
Who said anyone was afraid of reading it? It was a boring, rambling, typo and grammatical error filled post. Again, what does not wanting to read someone's shit post have to do with being a nerd?
But that's what you get for trying, sued
So that's why after he rescued it he immediately returned it to the relevant interested parties rather than keeping it for himself? Oh wait...
How can someone who is scared off by a few paragraphs call himself a nerd?
Because being a nerd has nothing to do with wanting to read boring walls of text?
At least it's less boring than the walls of text posted by that blowhard Haselton. But then again that isn't saying much.
