  1. Re:Huh? Deleting unnecessary files? on Users Find Renting a Movie On iTunes Frees Up Space On iPhone, iPad · · Score: 1

    Oh, sorry, I forgot the tag.
    Of course I'm fucking kidding. TFA says "According to this Reddit post, it seems what the device is doing is deleting unnecessary files from installed apps in an effort to free up the room you need to install the movie."

    Yeap, just keeps deleting all those unnecessary files you have: music, photos, documents and such. After all, they're all backed up in the cloud, so why on Earth you'd keep them on your phone?

    The purpose of military training exercises is not to "provoke" somebody, that is childish and silly.

    The average computer user should know better than installing things automatically.
    I think you mean auto-install security fixes is a reasonable default for 'computer literate' people a.k.a able to turn on the computer and click every ok/next they see.

    I saw on the news the other day, that students were saying they had been traumatized by someone writing in chalk "Trump 2016". I mean, I'm no Trump supporter, but seriously, traumatized?

    You don't get it, do you?
    They were not traumatized by the actual words but by the fact that a person who managed to get to college would vote for Trump.

    What? Are you saying western governments are terrorists? They are doing their best to create fear and mass panic that the honest terrorists are thinking of letting them join the fight.

    Now, that could result in a system where those with connections have greater freedom in their economic activity and thus more effective power in said cashless economy, but we already have this situation. Those with the right connections, get away with a lot of prohibited economic activity.

    For all data collected there should be a stated purpose.

    Becasue we want to do it.

    Information collected by an individual cannot be disclosed to other organizations or individuals unless specifically authorized by law or by consent of the individual

    You did read the 100+ pages EULA, right?

    Records kept on an individual should be accurate and up to date

    And that's why we're always traciing you.

    There should be mechanisms for individuals to review data about them, to ensure accuracy. This may include periodic reporting

    Nothe the 'should' and 'may' not the 'must' and 'will'. But hey, not everyone in US speaks English so we may get away with this.

    Data should be deleted when it is no longer needed for the stated purpose

    Again, 'should' not 'will'.

    Transmission of personal information to locations where "equivalent" personal data protection cannot be assured is prohibited

    But, your honour, their law said they care about data protection, it's not our fault they don't enforce it.

    Some data is too sensitive to be collected, unless there are extreme circumstances (e.g., sexual orientation, religion)

    We've seen it all, there's no need to be sensitive.
