  1. Re:what did they break this time on Apple Releases First Preview of Swift 3.0 (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    I believe that with the aforementioned change, it should be called swift instead of Swift. Is that correct?

  2. Re:Salt Lake City on Is Denver The Next High-Tech Center? (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    You have to remember that within Utah, we complain about the LDS folk in Provo being the worst while us the OTHER Utahns are much better. But since I live in Utah Valley, you have the LDS outside of my valley complaining about how I am just the WORST. So, be sure to take what the 'outside' utahns say with a grain of salt (that is not to say that they don't have merit! I have not discussed that point at all).

  3. Re:Third field on With AI Getting Better at Cognitive Abilities, Humans Will Have Even Fewer Jobs (koreaherald.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As I understand it, this was not originally written into the matrix and was tacked on by some PHB. I have read previously that they needed the human brain power in order to create and manage the entire world. (too much processing to be done or somesuch). Obviously not a big deal in life, but just an alternative thought.

  4. Unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts are all things companies are not allowed to do. They can be charged for doing this and should be.

  5. Enough with these weasel words! I want to know why it shut down, really!

  6. Highly doubt it's a breach (of spotify) on Spotify Denies User Details Hacked After Passwords Show Up Online (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Based upon the pastebin data, I doubt that any sort of breach has happened to spotify unless the leaker specifically chose the people with the least complex passwords to reveal.

    Look at the data. only 1 user with a 13 character password. Something along the lines of . Most are under 10 characters long. Only 3 passwords used a hyphen in them. The REST all only used alphabet and numbers 0-9. This sounds like bruteforce or dictionary attacking of spotify, as others have said, probably with a cross list from another actual breach.

  7. Agreed it sounds trivial. That's why they are only spending up to a million for it. This is a little project and yes, I believe that they can secure their access terminals. They just need the program made to do it all.

  8. Re:As a motorcyclist.... on U.S. Goverment Shames Texting Drivers on Twitter (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree and I hate your blind spots. Would you quit speeding up when I'm trying to pass only to leave me in your blind spot???

    (Obviously not directed at you personally since I know that if I was in your blind spot, you A) Would notice and B) wouldn't want to keep me there)

  9. Re:The behavior is the public health problem on Utah Governor: 'Porn Is a Public Health Crisis' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    As part of the generation you describe, these are my feelings exactly. My wife and I make sex fun (at least, as fun as it can be while she feels terrible from pregnancy). No bishop saying that there is or is not a religiously prescribed way to have sex.

    I will add only one thought from my experience: Many more people have sexual histories that I thought they would growing up. As a teenager, I thought that maybe 1 in 10 of my peers would have sexual experience before marriage. After spending a number of years in single's wards and especially after I got married and can realistically talk to peers about sex, I would change my number to be more like 1 or 2 in 6 have had NO sexual experience before marriage. If it is really like that in my community (utah, ofc.), then it only shows the even greater need to teach our kids about having healthy and happy relationships.

    Amen.

  11. Re:Actually it doesn't matter on Warmest March In Global Recordkeeping (wunderground.com) · · Score: 1

    South pole is gaining ice. North pole is losing. Just a note.

  12. Re:Not the FBIs fault (yet) on Snowden Predicts Global iPhone Hack, Records Song (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    Supposedly not. Supposedly it wasn't Cellebrite that sold the hack.

  13. I agree. Some people ONLY want the data points of the news. If that is the case, I would read just ArsTechnica or one of the host of other tech news sites. I /. because I want to see what other tech people think about the news. Putting your opinion on a submission where it is CLEARLY not part of the article is something that I like and hope you will continue to do.

  14. Re:Agreements can change at any time on Valve Loses Australian Court Battle Over Steam (computerworld.com.au) · · Score: 0

    Yup. About 90% of my purchases are on GoG these days. I like having the ability to locally cache installers. I like being able to install the game where I want to when I want to.

    Totally worth doing.

  15. Re:What about the hyperlink bug? on Apple Re-posts iOS 9.3 Build For Older Devices Affected By Activation Lock Bug (macrumors.com) · · Score: 0

    It is not a 3rd party app's fault. It is iOS not handling correctly.

  16. Called it. Src: I am Utah. Also, I hate GoT because OMG, it's a piece of cable garbage, but to each their own.

  17. Serious gamers (or average /. reader) on Theorizing a Big Apple Push Into Gaming · · Score: 0

    I wonder how Apple, in the desktop market, plans to make serious gamers\computer geeks that like to upgrade their hardware manually happy. One of the best parts about my desktop is that I built it 3 years ago (ancient, I know) but I have been able to upgrade it such that I run crysis, UT3, WoW, or anything else with at least good settings. I am not sure how well people would be able to really put some love into their computers with all things dealing with hardware go to Apple store and such... My $0.02

  18. Hitman on Violent Games As Great Teachers · · Score: 0

    Yeah, the violent games generally have more to offer than just violence and blood. Hitman comes to mind; it is a big puzzle game that so happens to have fighting and blood. The games that are plain blood and violence are the ones that really aren't fun...

  19. Failing the smart kids? YES on Failing Our Geniuses · · Score: 0

    As one of those fairly smart people, not a genius but a smart one, I can tell you of when my Elementary school dropped its 6th grade pre-algebra class after 'no child left behind' came into effect. I ended being one of 3 students from my Elementary school to take Algebra in 7th grade that year. I was barely able to get in and even learned stuff about Algebra while taking that test! I would've _LOVED_ to be able to take a class that was more on my level as, I didn't learn a single thing in 6th grade math besides long division... just my $0.02

    Oh, oh. I'll take 5!

  21. Cosmetic on Microsoft Pleads With Consumers to Adopt Vista Now · · Score: 1

    Now, I remember reading about how project Longhorn wasn't going to have a registry. It was going to use config files in an .exe's directory, be backwords compatible, and other similar things. Upon receiving Vista (for free, thanks to school), I installed it, turned it on, and ran regedit to make sure I didn't have a registry. ARG! stupid registry. After more looking around, it is a bigger, slower, prettier XP. Think the next OS will have any actual improvements? The only improvements with Vista is bcdedit, and that is a trivial one too...
