I have a Droid phone with a keypad. If it doesn't have a keypad, then I can't do anything meaningful for work with it. It's amazing how inexpensive used smart phones are on eBay. The thing that I like least about Apple's direction with portable devices is the absence of a keyboard or keypad. I refuse to use a virtual keypad, I've tried it on friends phones. The fact that I didn't own the devices was the only thing that kept me from flushing them.
I would say that Apple went south pretty bad in the late 80's, but it looks like they've learned their lesson there. By tripe I mean their consumer grade stuff. They made more expensive MP3 players than were on the market, packed their higher end iPods with notebook hard drives which were destined for premature failure from people being active while using them. I would have considered buying a Mac until they stopped shipping them with Power processors.
Yeah, I have yet to pay a single red cent for an Apple product, so I can't exactly say that I know anything about the quality. I won't buy a smartphone without a keyboard, I hate what they've done to the smartphone market to be honest. I've thought the iPods were outrageously priced to begin with, and wouldn't waste my money on such tripe anyway.
The first suit I can remember was Polaroid vs. Kodak. Everyone remembers the amazing quality of Polaroid cameras, right? How they are a powerful, innovative player in the instant camera market place of the 21st century?
FWIW I won't buy a single Apple product until they stop trying to sue their competition and sometimes suppliers out of business. Even if their market share is up, it's pretty easy to see the greed at work. Once they get complete dominance that greed will be turned towards reduction in product quality.
I would label any non-accidental non-war bomb explosion an act of terrorism. If it's your neighbour fed up with his mail being late, or an organized terrorist cell, it's still terrorism.
By that logic all of the US drone strikes around the world are acts of terrorism. Perhaps our "War on Terror" gives us blanket immunity from being terrorists ourselves even though we haven't declared war on Pakistan or Yemen? Yeah, I didn't think so either. Terrorists always believe that they too are fighting a war for freedom. If there is not cause and no movement, then it isn't terrorism.
I agree, but I think the standard for conviction in capitol punishment cases needs to be stronger than "Reasonable Doubt" because you can't take back execution.
Believe me, I love Linux as much as the next Systems Administrator, but times have changed a bit for Linux security. There are so many Web Applications that bundle old insecure versions of Apache, Tomcat and PHP that it almost is just a matter of sending the right infected/targeted packets at them. If an Admin is asleep at the wheel, not tracking new files that are written as the Apache user or the UID that's running their web services, then their systems are quite likely already compromised.
Just because it's Linux doesn't mean it's secure. It takes time to harden Linux, and it takes time to monitor your settings and network. As many have stated before, the real issue here is too many jobs are being cut that don't directly affect profits. Companies hire an SA for 6 months to setup Linux and install their new whiz-bang web app, and then they let them go onto the next contract.
The problem is that the congress critters won't do much about it, it won't be made public, it won't be transparent that it happened. Send them to Newspapers? They're bought and paid for by the military industrial complex which also drives American politics. No, public humiliation is the only route to get the government contractors to tighten up their security, and the only way to actually get the media to report on it is to make it as bold as possible. I can fully understand why they're exposing the weaknesses the way they are. They're working from a position of weakness, not power.
They already do this in some cities, just based on local knowledge. It typically involves spending lots of money on private security firms to police the projects. I remember a company that I used to work for hired one of those firms as well. You knew it before you bothered to ask where the bullet holes in the cars came from.
Yes, you either already know there's a problem, and are building a case or you're paranoid. I was addressing the second case. I have known people who regularly cheated that were horribly jealous and possessive, the comment was more directed towards people like that.
If you wanted to track your spouse's location, it would be easy enough to give him or her a cell phone that has some form of Family Locator service or install an app on an iPhone or Android. Really it's not that hard. You could give them the phone and call it a gift. If you're that paranoid, I must say, it's probably already time to get a divorce and hire a psychologist. Remember, distrust in a relationship is more often a sign of what you're willing to do than what they are.
No, when your wife cheats and you take care of those children, there has been outright deception. You take care of them believing that they're yours. You direct your life to ensure their best chance of success. When you pay taxes that end up in welfare, you pay for some poor kid to eat crappy lunches as school, be shamed in the checkout line when friends see the parents using food stamps, and to hopefully be able to get hand-me-downs without holes in them. One is the result of deception in order to get what's best for the children, the other is charitable.
Those children aren't in your household, you don't have to take them to school. You don't have to teach them anything, or read them books at night. There's a big difference between being individually financially responsible for someone, and having a social obligation to caring for the weak and disabled.
No! The problem I have with the thought of my wife cheating is that it could mean that I would have to take care of someone else's kids, financially and emotionally.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the numeric code is the last four of each person's social security number. I wonder how hard it is to get that changed.
Yeah, now I'm trying to figure out if there's a reason other than the haxor reference for swapping out the H. Maybe I'm giving the guy too much credit. Maybe it's just someone who believes whole-heartedly in democratic principles. If he or she really were up to no good it would be by choosing a victor in a major election instead of posting a vulnerability.
I call BS. My niece was learning Chinese in a public elementary school in Cambridge, MA.
Really, the best way to learn a language is to be friendly with people who speak it fluently. I grew up in a very cosmopolitan area, half of the school spoke English as a second language. I learned way more Spanish from talking to friends than I did in any classroom. In case you didn't notice, here's the American way of teaching a language: Year 1, teach some basic words and grammar. Year 2, spend the first half of the year reviewing year 1, the second half reviewing the first half of year 2, in the last month add in some new words. Year 3, spend the first half going over years 1 and 2, spend the second half introducing past and future tense.
I went to 4 different elementary schools, 3 middle schools and 4 high schools. This rinse-repeat boredom was entirely all I saw of public education. If you're American and want a real education, I recommend self guided study as soon as you can read.
If you were concerned about your privacy, you'd search your name on several search engines once a month or so. You'd go to those sites and whittle down your privacy settings to the point that you were satisfied. Had you actually done this when you first found that you had a Google profile, then your Google+ profile wouldn't be public. I'm fine with it if all it does is share my name and my gender, publicly. I already have my privacy settings there to be that way. This is quite unlike Facebook, where I have to constantly keep an eye out for the latest feature and how they're going to assume that I want that feature turned on towards the world at large. Facebook does this even after you have every setting you can at "me only".

Then don't opt-in for instant upload. I was asked if I wanted it on when I installed G+ on my Android.

And on the other side of Tor, they're probably on free/public wifi, well away from where they live.

Wish I had mod points.
Anonymous has an agenda.
But that Coward is posting here all the time . . . oh, wait, I see you're speaking from authority.

Yeah, I picked that up from how the advertisements matched things I've searched for on Google, no software necessary.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts that the numeric code is the last four of each person's social security number. I wonder how hard it is to get that changed.

Actually, if all it reports is your name and your gender, stalkers and private investigators probably already know this about you.
