Does he work for Apple? Because iPhone 6 and 6 plus haven't arrived to customers yet.
Yes they have. Two of my coworkers have them now. Got them a few days ago. That's the result of big money contracts. They haven't been shipped to consumers yet. Customers have them.
Actually in the price point they compete in ($400+, $500+ phones) they are gaining share. The huge growth is in the $150- part of the market and Apple is getting none of that. You can count share by grouping sneakers, and jumbo jets into "transportation facilitation devices" and just counting units. And that would be similar to the way people count smartphones as one big pile.
They don't compete in a price point, they compete in the market as a whole.
Revenue? No one cares. Profit is the bottom line. Beyond that, one doesn't exactly need a crystal ball to see that Apple is rapidly losing market share to Android devices. It's Blackberry all over again.
Go ahead and spoof your IP and MAC. See how well you can send and receive data online. Hint: If you're receiving data back via IP protocols, your IP is visible/traceable. Hint: If you're receiving data back on Ethernet networks, your MAC is visible/traceable. The ISP you connect to has a log of what IP was assigned to what connection at what time, along with where their control of that connection terminates.
What you want to be doing is using connections that aren't associated with you in any way, and are not near your place of residence, while using a different MAC every time.
Or do you accept that a certain minimal number of children accidentally killing each other and dudes shooting themselves in the dick is the price we pay for freedom that is arbitrarily unregulated.
I just want to point out that you're talking out of your ass again. If you hadn't been so eager to shit on APK for no reason, I wouldn't have bothered to check your post. But here we are.
It's not overstated, it's outright bullshit, and always has been. Sodium does not increase blood pressure, nor does sodium chloride, nor any other common table salt.
People with high blood pressure choose saltier diets. Healthier people, in large part to the widespread publication of the salt = high blood pressure myth, choose less salty diets. It's like using statistics to compare STD rates among circumcised men after decades of telling people to circumcise their kids because it's safer - the health conscious will believe you and get it done, the reckless won't. Those people (and their kids) then continue to engage in health-conscious or reckless behaviors as they normally do.
Why does version 2.0 of your application still not have all its features?
Because code takes time. And you can't just manpower your way through it.
Version X of my program has all of its features. Version X.Y may have more features, but version X has precisely every feature version X has. Version X.Y is a different program.
If you'd like to buy an upgrade license to version X.Y, please click below.
Note: Starting 3 months after you order your licenses, we will be rebranding Product Z to better serve our customers. Product Z will be known as Product W. Your Product Z licenses will carry over to Product W as follows:
Product Z - Product W Home Product Z Pro - Product W Standard Product Z Enterprise - Product W Server
Product W Home does not include Feature A or Feature B from Product Z. Upgrade to Product W Standard if you use Feature A or Feature B in Product Z. Product W Standard includes Feature C from Product Z, but use is limited to 1 Device or 1 User. Upgrade to Product W Server if you use Feature C on more than 1 device or with more than 1 User. Product W Server includes all of the features of Product Z Enterprise, as well as 1 license for Product W Server, 3 client device licenses, and 3 user licenses. Note that product Z Enterprise had no per-user or per-device licenses. If you require additional licenses, click below for a quote from one of our partners. We won't tell you the price, what each license enables, how many you need, whether you can reuse them, whether they expire, whether our software phones home, the actual terms, how to apply your license, or even the actual name of the license you're ordering. For installations on multiple servers, please consider Product W Datacenter Edition, which contains all the features of Product W Server with none* of the licensing restrictions. *Product W Datacenter requires 1 license per physical CPU, and if you are running on VMs the software will do its best to bitch endlessly.
Ofcourse it is not 100% ready for the real world. It does not mean it should not be deployed though
lol lol lol lol lol when an autonomous SUV hits you at 60 MPG it hits you with more energy than a stick of dynamite. Let's make sure it's ready before deploying it.
When an SUV hits 60 MPG I'll still not buy one of those ridiculous ego mobiles. SUVs only exist because American males felt emasculated when they had families and had to drive around in minivans, branding them as lifeless slaves to their spawn and spouse. So fuck safety, fuck fuel economy, fuck design, hell, fuck every color except black. If we pretend these things are cool people will pay $$$$$$ for them despite the fact that they're worse than the minivans they're replacing in nearly every way.
Ofcourse it is not 100% ready for the real world. It does not mean it should not be deployed though.
Not every technology and device that made it to market first worked with 100% accuracy the first time.
It just means that drivers should still be paying attention to the road at all times instead of being distracted behind the wheel. The faster it comes to market, the more quickly the improvements can be made to advance the technology.
- SK
But it does mean that it should not have fucking passed. I don't know how the heathens in Nevada do it, but in any sane state if another person has to take control of the vehicle during the test, you automatically fail. If the driver is the autopilot, then the engineer taking control should cause the autopilot to automatically fail.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. By your logic, I could hire someone to put an ad on television for me and I'd have no recourse if they instead make an ad for a competitor or make an ad that's just one long "FUUUUUUUUUUUCK".
Wrong. You have the right to approve or disapprove of a work or service in exchange for money. You would be able to not pay them just fine. You would NOT be able to then say they cannot go and advertise for your competitor, or give unsanctioned opinions of your product elsewhere. NDAs and non-competes are unconstitutional. California gets it mostly right, many states do not.
All freedoms have limits, none are absolute.
Wrong.
Freedom of speech, for example, does not include:
The right for you to place others in immediate danger as a result of your speech (e.g. the "yelling Fire in a crowded theatre" example)
The right for you to damage others' reputations through telling of falsehoods (libel and slander)
The right for private property owners to give you a platform -- I can kick you out of my building for your racist speech, but I can't kick you off the sidewalk
Wrong. You absolutely have the right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. You then can be help culpable for any immediate, direct damages caused by your actions. Be it people being injured, be it a company showing a marked, documented, decrease in revenue that can be directly attributed to your libel, whatever. You can never (legally) be punished for speech. You can be held liable for the direct consequences. Private property owners cannot restrict someone's speech. They can remove people from their property for any reason or no reason, but they cannot restrict their speech. If you or the cops try to physically silence someone, you're violating their rights. If you physically remove them from your property, then you're not violating their rights.
It's really fucking simple. You have rights that cannot legally ever be infringed upon.
Incorrect, an NDA is legal in California. You are possibly confusing a non-disclosure with a non-compete, two completely different things.
Incorrect, NDAs are illegal in the entire US of A. The judicial branch enforcing a a contract that restricts speech is tantamount to the government restricting speech - a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. The government should never enforce a contract where party A agreed to sever their foot for party B's amusement and $50. The government should never enforce any contracts where party A agrees to give up any fundamental rights, under any terms, for party B. The fact that this is routinely done is bullshit. These rights are inalienable and cannot legally be given up.
If I had mod points, I'd mod you down just for your misogyny. Get some perspective please.
Where's the misogyny? The dipshit talked about "triage", and the AC called his bullshit out. Swap "cunting" with "fucking", "damned", or "". "Cunting" (or "cunt") isn't misogynist, and if you think it is you're a moron (and a sexist one for assuming the hypothetical ER nurse was female, or that the word can only be used in reference to females). "Cunt" is just a slang term for vagina (or vulva). YOUR OWN predilections are what make you see the word as offensive. This goes for any word. As for context (as opposed to definition), the AC did not disparage females, he disparaged the fucking idiot who said he had to triage calls.
I'll be using the same ones I've been using for the last 2 years when these "smart watches" and "wearables" were being pushed by other companies. (Hint: None. I hope this manufactured market segment dies faster than the nettop and the digital photo frame.)
Adding support for more RAM to a mobo would cost a lot more than adding support for more RAM to a dedicated RAM drive device. The RAM drive manufacturer will likely seek higher margins due to lower volume, though, so who knows how it would end up.
A RAM drive can present itself as any storage device, you shouldn't need drivers.
The one benefit using system RAM gives you is you're connecting directly to the memory controller, so you don't have to cry about how PCI-e x16 is your bottleneck.
But I want to BOOT off of it and have everything on one drive/partition. This isn't 1992, I don't enjoy juggling partitions for no fucking reason. I want battery-backed, NAND-backed, RAM speeds. Blitz it all into the drive's RAM at POST. Then the OS doesn't even have to know WTF is going on. At shutdown or loss of power, dump it all back to NAND. You could probably even extend the life of that NAND dramatically by ONLY writing to it when power has been cut. So even when you've shutdown/halted, you're pulling enough power (from a direct connection to the PSU) to refresh the RAM, and trickle charge the battery.
The next generation of flash will not use a drive form factor at all. SAS (et al) are way too slow for flash anyway.
SATA Express. Cabled drives running off a controller with dedicated PCI-e lanes using a newfangled port. Mobos with support are rolling out now. The standard scales with PCI-e generations, too, as well as the number of lanes you throw at it (I believe the spec only calls for up to 4 lanes, but you could fairly easily up it to 16 lanes).
With a fraction of the energy usage, densities increasing, and hopefully a reversal in the recent trend towards less durability, SSDs will probably also overtake platter drives in price per terabyte within 5 years.
It's not so much a trend as it is an unavoidable problem with increasing densities of SSDs. As you shrink the process size to fit more stuff in the same space, the durability goes down. As you change from SLC to MLC to TLC to fit more stuff in the same space, durability goes down. Substantial technological advances will be required to produce a 20T SSD with both acceptable durability and cost.
In comparison, shortscreen monitors (often mislabeled as widescreen) are a trend which has no logical or technical underpinning.
You could easily get 20 TB of flash today if you used a full size drive enclosure instead of the 2.5" wide, 7mm high shit they put out today. I've got plenty of 5.25" drive bays. Give me a 5.25" SSD with a HDL, SATA Express/NME, or PCI-e 3.0 (x4 at least) connection. Then give me a chipset that lets me RAID across PCI-e storage devices, making sure I can boot off the resulting array and pass TRIM to the drives behind it.
Or how about someone starts making RAM drives (for a decent price!) again?
The enterprise grade drives are designed to be refillable. Consumer grade will not be, but will have a several year MTBF by which time the drive will be obsolete anyway and you'll be able to get one 4X the size for the same price.
So not really an issue.
Yeah, because I'm going to have keep a helium tank on hand to refill my drives / call a WD tech to do it for me with hs own supply of helium - "Go ahead and open up the drive bays in our secure data center and jam your nozzle into our running drives, you said you were coming between 8 AM and 5 PM, right?".
