Playboy was very tame in the early 70s. It's unlikely that even the head from a centerfold from that era would be genuinely scandalous by modern standards.
People are just hearing the world "Playboy" and disengaging their brains and assuming things they really have no business assuming.
Poses in Cosmo and Vogue can often times be more suggestive than the ones in Playboy. Your precious princess is already being sexualized even without bringing pornography into it.
On Windows it gets even more fun. They like to piggy back spyware with cracked games. So for your unwillingness to spend $50 on a game, you have some creep electronically playing out the plot of Porky's with your PC.
So then it was telnet instead of ssh. The same action will produce the same result. That same result will be mischaracterized the same way (by idiots).
Nope. A fit person should not have any problem with another 35lb bag. We are likely talking about former military officers here. These are people that at some point in their lives had to carry someone as big as you around. Possibly they even did that on a 20 or 30 mile march.
Nevermind the fact that the relevant bag likely has wheels...
No. We are talking about a well understood industry standard document format. The idea that 100 million dollar planes could be grounded over not being able to open PDF documents is simply appalling regardless of what kind of excuses you want to make for it.
If it wasn't Apple code that was directly responsible here it certainly seems that their approach to design was at the heart of all of this.
...don't listen to him. We all know that you don't really need teachers. You can just replace them with a video and an underpaid tech to troubleshoot the playback system when it fails.
Didn't you read the article? Even the do-gooders in question believe that females are motivated by different things and that he focus of an engineering department needs to be changed in order to appeal to "girls".
It's the SJWs in academia that are assuming that women are wired differently and other departments need to adapt accordingly.
Sure, but you certainly don't have to act like Def Leppard in the process. If you're good enough, even a 50s style recording will be perfectly adequate. If you're not a real musician then you're kind of f*cked regardless.
Current culture has an infatuation with the latest shiny shiny and just assumes that anything new is better anything old is bad and that the ancients didn't know anything. That's why they needed the help of extra-terrestrials.
Even if you're just "rolling a tape", you still have to manage the students. The "educator" is not just devaluing his own job but that of the tech. In all likelihood, the "tech" could probably get a better job somewhere else. The catch about the tech is he/she would need to be able to troubleshoot.
The same is kind of true of the "student management" aspect of the task. This "educator" seems to be just assuming that everything will go as easily as possible (both the tech and the cat herding).
If anything this cat-herder+tech person would likely be someone worth MORE in terms of job skills than less.
People typically devalue the jobs and skills of others but usually at least acknowledge their own.
I dunno. I'm not an educator, but I'm pretty sure that when I was in school that there was more to the class than just the lecture. I don't think you can just roll a copy of something from "The Great Courses" and declare yourself done.
I would be very worried about any teacher that would reduce their own job to that.
Keeping the plebs from copying their own stuff doesn't do anything but make paid for content less useful than the pirated stuff that someone else went to the trouble to liberate. And it only takes one. Past that point, all of the rubes can make extra copies as easy as if the original media had no DRM to begin with.
If you can't copy it to a Linux box and play it with something other than iTunes then you don't really own it.
Apple sells a lot of that kind of stuff. If you're not aware, then perhaps you're stuck in 2003 and aren't aware of the newer things they are doing these days.
Even with the lastest and best supported Apple brand software and hardware, it can glitch while trying to phone home. DRM fail equals playback fail.

I grew up in the North and was taught how to shoot by the Boy Scouts at a relatively early age.
In this regard, there's nothing that remarkable about Texas really.

You don't even want to go there.

Without stating the precise nature of the "exploit", it's hard to know whether or not your trolling is even relevant.
Most users don't even use their regular 2D printers in any sort of creative or interesting way.
It's Apple. The whole POINT of the thing is that you don't have to RTFM.

> And how exactly would that solve this problem? The one of not having the flight book *in the plane*?
This is a perfect example of the helpless (and rigid) mentality of the Apple user.
The solution is pretty simple really...
1) Take one of those trucks that they use to load meals and snacks and sodas and fill it with manuals.
2) Drive up to the grounded plane.
3) Open the door.
4) Shove printed manuals through the door.

ppppfffft!
Back in the old neighborhood, some of the bedrooms were SMALLER than that...
"Annoying documents" don't negate the concepts of libel and slander. Such documents also usually include ideas like "privacy".

Why should you expect the two to be mutually exclusive?
You're just a jerk and a corporate toadie.

In the US, only song writers are paid for radio play.
Performers are not.

> So what are all those users of Plex, Xbmc, and MediaPortal running on then?
They're such a small and geeky part of the PC market that Linux no longer seems obscure anymore.

We gave up on that sort of elitism sometime around 1776.
