It's a little more subtle than that. Malware is anything that does what it's not supposed to do. Nothing short of a power user tool should be screwing around wtih your wi-fi. This is something that should be enforced by Android as a defined role.
It's not the sort of thing that Apple would enforce by role because Apple doesn't acknowledge the validity of a power user. They go out of their way to denigrate and marginalize power users.
> Or, the commercial $50K a year solution has the advantage of scale by spreading its cost on multiple customers.
Or not. Throwing money at a corporation is no gaurantee that you will get something that's any better than what you can get for free. All you are doing is buying a yourself a delusion. Perhaps your upper management buys into the same insanity. That doesn't make it any less insane.
All that a commercial solution ensures is that you can never really now what kind of crap you're dealing with, you will always be stuck dealing with one particular corporation, and they can orphan the product any time they like.
The modern Ayn Rand style corporation is out to enrich it's stockholders. You as a customer are the last on their list of priorities.
A lot of people think that the Bill of Rights is a white list. That's actually as wrong as you could possibly be. It is the Constitution in general as it relates to the powers of the federal government that is the whitelist.
This is why the Obamacare mandate is illegal and your state's care insurance mandate is not.
The Bill of Rights is just the short list of rights that should not be infringed by government. It's the really important ones much like the 10 Commandments.
Jobs and the collective was clearly of the opinion that "most people don't need trucks". Thus the whole "truck" terminology. For a clueless urbanite, it's some kind of slur.
Jobs tried to generalize his own narrow ideas about consumer choices in BOTH areas.
It's not about the "user experience". It's about how much control you can exert over the system. The form factor really doesn't matter. What can you do with it? What roadblocks are the OS/hardware vendor going to put in your way?
A tablet doesn't need a "full desktop experience" to run an SSH server or a proper copy of CUPS.
> Nothing like a heartfelt sermon from somebody who has likely never seen a gun in their life....or any kind of wildlife. That's quite a trick in American cities that can be populated by all kinds of interesting critters. It also doesn't take much to encounter even more menacing creatures just slightly outside of city limits.
You have to work pretty hard at going nowhere and doing nothing while being insulated from nature in order to be so ignorantly "cosmopolitan".
You are engaging in nothing more than infantile trolling crudely disguised as something more thoughtful. Your remarks are a great example of the smug psuedo-intellectual.
This is no "slight" reason. This is something that can be perverted into effectively nullifying the 2nd Amendment much in the same way that the DMCA erodes personal property rights.
The problem with any of these "gun control" measures is that you always have the cops as a ready reserve of civilians with access to firearms. The industry will need to remain in place to service them and there will be plenty of stock left to fall off the back of trucks.
"Smart Guns" are fine so long as it's the soldiers and cops first.
When such a gun is good enough for a cop or solider, then it's good enough for a citizen.
Otherwise it's a technological end run around individual rights.
Jar-Jar is basically Lucas trying to talk down to children. It's a stupid character meant to appeal to an infantile mentality in a crude way rather than giving kids some credit for not being total idiots.
Somewhere along the line Lucas got it into his head that he has to pander to small children and to pander to a really bad mental model of a child at that.
The original STAR WARS was much more of a mass market and cross generational success.
>> I have more than 600 bluray's and well over 5000 dvd's

One big bookshelf from IKEA could handle all of that and be very nice and neat and terribly OCD.
His hoard is nothing compared to the people they show on cable. They have an entire series on one of the edutainment channels dedicated to that sort of thing.
> It is easy to be cavalier until you consider yourself, or someone you care about, being innocent.
The same smugness applies to an execution or life in prison. You've just managed to kid yourself that one is cruel while the other is not. This is total bullsh*t of course.
You simply choose to ignore the decades on death row and for no good reason either.
That phrase has quite a lot of bogus spin attached to it. They take something pretty mundane and turn it completely inside out. Based on the phrase as stated, you would think that Novell was expecting Microsoft to give up all of it's trade secrets when all it was really expecting was the details of a standard public interface.
This is just one of the many bad side effects of an overly expansive notion of "intellectual property" and of corporate privelege in general.
The animals we eat are simply much better at deriving nutrition from plant matter. Much of what they eat isn't just inefficient for humans to try an eat, it's entirely undigestible.
The idea of feeding corn to a cow is a pretty new one borne out of the rise of industrial farming.
Not meat, seafood. The first instance of humans adapting socially (rather than genetically) was to change their diet and exploit the other available options. The only reason you're alive is that humans will exploit anything they can.
Due to biological limtiations, that does not include silage.
Jobs are just as much of a requirement as food and shelter.
The job is what keeps a person from devolving into a total animal. More intelligent notions of human need actually account for stuff beyond where your next meal is coming from.
Except what happens with a cell tower is no secret.
Fracking operators like to keep their chemical cocktails a secret. That alone is problematic enough. Then on top of that you have an Ayn Rand inspired corporate culture supported by idiot lackeys in the wider population that advocate that corporations screw EVERYONE to the best of their ability.
Not a mix that inspires a lot of confidence.
So you are end up with an unknown mix of chemicals capable of doing who knows what if they leak into the environment.

It sounds like the oil company permanently deprived them of their home. If it is some large ranch, the total value of the land could be non-trivial. Even the value of a large home in the city can creep up near the 1 Million dollar range.
If that land was providing income then there are direct economic damages that a few million might adequately cover.
That's not even getting into medical bills or permanent harm to several people. All of that could also have lingering economic consequences.

A pathetic attempt at fake meat or vegetarianism will not achieve any of those. Your attempt to propagate bogus propaganda is weak.
Once you've gotten to the point of trying to recreate meat then you've basically admitted your choices are all wrong.
