FTR, my opinion is that the iOS model should follow something much more like the system Apple are adopting for Mountain Lion (apps from the store signed and launched without user input, apps from elsewhere queried on first launch by admin password) which marries the benefits of both models. What do I know though? I don't make smartphones.
That would be a massive improvement. I couldn't really complain about iOS if they allowed unsigned apps to be installed out-of-the-box.
Apple would still be the world's worst patent abuser though and #1 employer of ethically questionable labor.
...doesn't understand "classy" or "tactful." If you're a celebrity your digitally reanimated self will be used to sell shit long after you're dead, and who knows what else. I fully expect to see Marilyn Monroe in a commercially released porno before I have any trouble getting a hardon.
The most "eco-friendly" (as in less environmentally damaging, of course no car actually *improves* the environment) car is a used one that gets good MPG. The Prius can't touch a CRX Si, used VW Golf, '90s Civic, '90s Corolla or '90s Suzuki Swift (latter two also branded as Geo Metro in the US).
The supposed positive effects you mention don't exist. If you point out how bad the walled garden is, you STILL get called a nutty RMS fanboy and people STILL don't see a problem with it. If anything they have created fanboys of curated computing that didn't exist before.
You just did smart guy, when you got you Apple developer license. And you can only distribute apps to a limited number of devices with that Apple-provided signing key you have.
Even China only recently figured out how to detect and block Tor (and they're working on a steganographic encryption algorithm to evade the block) and I doubt VPNs and SSH are blocked, that would be ridiculous.
Victims? They don't get tricked into installing a botnet client. They install, configure and run a DDoS tool, voluntarily. Although botnet herders might participate sometimes, I don't think any infected computers count as Anonymous members...
Sounds about right, "idiots" is a bit harsh. But then the skilled hackers are transient also, so the intelligence agencies who can't grasp the concept of a leaderless collective are going to be disappointed that there aren't just a few heads to cut off...
Pastebin is the best thing for intelligence agencies since Facebook. All they have to do is subscribe to the RSS feed for new posts and they have their fingers on the pulse of some of the seedier parts of the Internet. Not saying you shouldn't use it, just...be aware.
At 50-70mph you don't have a lot of time to react to a dropped cinderblock/plank full of nails/crazy man curled up on the highway (really happened to a friend) / crazy woman walking on the highway (really happened to me, I missed her by sheer luck).

True, I'm sure he could be killed with a handshake if the US had zero respect for the UK's sovereignty.
This page has a lot of arguments and info on the topic, mind you the source isn't terribly neutral:

And before anyone says "LOL IRONY" the reason that key becoming available was bad is because files inside there were completely unredacted.
Some jackass leaked the key to that in a book last year, it affords him no safety now.
I think the only reason he hasn't been Awlaki'd is that he's staying in built-up first-world areas.

Experience with iDevices does not contribute to your nerd score. Ownership of iDevices carries a penalty.
I remember the good ol' days when third party developers weren't policed...
That's because the guy running the app store has a monopoly on fart apps:

So anyone who is recruited into or joins a protest is a socially-engineered victim?

And what's the deal with airline food? Whack, amirite?
He learned to use a modern PC pretty damn fast, I'll give him that.
These are just discarded iPad prototypes that were using the Prescott-core P4 processor. Apple should be more careful where they dump their trash...
The leaked cables certainly did play a role in ending the Iraq war.

Wow, the rant at the end of Shooter is like a Disney cartoon compared to this. Ho. Lee. Shit.
