  1. Re:Apple has used this company, no matter what on Apple's New iPhone Built With Illegal Overtime Teen Labor (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple has the power to change this. They just don't find it convenient to do so.

  2. Re:Soon on Hitler Quote Controversy In the BSD Community · · Score: 1

    His tweets should be in there. Then again they may be distracting to the point where you would have to stop what you were doing and go research to see if he actually said those things since most of them are truly unbelievable. Sort of like opening Edge and landing on the MSN page and totally forgetting why you opened the browser.

  3. Re:I refuse to be trolled on Hitler Quote Controversy In the BSD Community · · Score: 1

    That isn't the point. The stuff is in there and they desire control over others and hope to make them angry--because they are angry that they have no power.

    They do, but those conversations, thoughts, and views are pushed below the surface where they are allowed to grow unchecked.

    Intellisense already tells me how to program. You don't say clippy? I will do that but first let me Google that so I know what the fuck I'm doiing.

    you have to understand the demands and needs of users....

    Who don't understand or care to quantify their own demands and needs.

    That would be a great way to choke an AI system...feed it our tax code without letting it know the goal is social engineering.

  9. Wall of text...but nothing to say.

  10. Why bother hiring a full time lecturer when you can sub in a few videos and computerized grading systems and just have the teacher there for a few hours a week?

    The teachers unions actively refuse any efficiencies and block any technological adoptions that could possibly pave the way. As a student I would ask the best professors to give their course material to adjuncts or record their lectures on video. You should have seen the looks I got.

    Thier iPad Pro is cleaning up--pretty bad ass for artists. For some reason though, the more powerful and larger iPad pro costs less than the phone.

    "impeccable visual design"

    Have you seen the icon color scheme on Apple devices? When they released the rainbow icon colors the next day I came in to work and traded my iPhone for a Samsung.

    Smart phones in general are suffering from feature-creep.....trying to do way too much. Android has the same shitty kinds of bugs. Clean it up guys...get back to simple. I loved Windows Phone because the user experience was so simple and fluid. I use the phone while multitasking a lot....each extra swipe or tap is a major annoyance.....and frankly, not smart.

  18. Re: Determining which to download? on The Strange Art of Writing Release Notes (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    By the time I read the release notes I could have downloaded and installed the new version two times. Very rarely does anyone need release notes. Just install and pray.

    I used to place cute ASCII Art animals in random scripts as a reward for proper execution. Nothing like an ASCII squirrel appearing to brighten your day.

    The last thing anyone wants is a free OS. They will be targeting open source platform for which Microsoft is already a leader.

    What do they want? Free speech or anonymity? Free speech can exist in either case but shit falls out when people know who you are after saying something in public. Perhaps we are talking about amendment 1.5...the one that guarantees us anonymity?
