a lot of those prizes involve you keeping your IP. I've entered in a few now, and only one large one required the final winner to sign over his IP rights for the prize.
Don't you have the option to remain jailbroken, jailbreak, or not update to the newest iOS at any given time to keep your JB? If Cydia apps are worth more to you than the increased functionality/methods for appstore apps, then your path seems rather obvious.
There's a lot of things Hong Kong is doing as a city that we should be doing in NYC. The train barriers is another great idea currently not being implemented. I know it's a bit off topic, but the train deaths that received a bunch of media attention this past year is nothing compared to the actual amount of deaths. It was probably the most common fatal accident outside of bridge suicides on NYC police scanner twitter feeds.
At least we're good at government? (heh). Whitehouse.gov was asking for devs for a hackathon to the petitions API they're opening up. Although I didn't get an invite, I'd love to see what comes out of that.
huh? The assassinations DID happen in other countries, to Al Qaeda & the like. RTFA? Hell, the memo title should be a huge clue!

So you're saying (hypothetically of course, since I have no kids yet) it's better to have LESS cameras than MORE cameras for my kids' benefit? Get real. There are little kids being kidnapped, chopped up & put in freezers in my borough. I have a security camera outside my home myself. Doesn't make me a pedophile or a peeping tom, makes me feel secure. There's no reasonable expectation of privacy in public areas, and although they've had quite a few fuckups that I'm not happy about, the NYPD & the camera surveillance in place have kept NYC fairly safe. That's a whole different subject though, and really doesn't compare at all to aggregating and simplifying public information. wtf. This is Slashdot, surely there are tons of DBAs & ppl dealing with data on here everyday!
If Samsung published the addresses of every home that had a 55" TV, somebody on the internet would cry that it was encouraging the burglary of 55" TV's. Although quite slim nowadays (about the width of a dime), it's no OLED. You're not just going to roll up a TV under your shirt & walk out with it.
Store locators are there to find the stores. Would you insist on removal of your gps coordinates & directions to your house from all location aware services on the chance it may lead burglars to your home?
It's easy. You just need to provide character reference letters (you're told before the interview), and list every single non-civil court encounter from traffic to summons to arrest, as well as list every single narcotic you've ever taken. Oh you forgot you got Vicodin at the hospital that one time you broke your hand? Well you've just lied on a government form. Denied.

I really don't see how posting this kind of information is harassing, or making things difficult for gun owners. I'm actually pretty pro-gun, AND reside/work in NYC but I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. Are we going to seal the records of crime stats because it might lower property value? What about code violations? Should we seal every single damaged sidewalk complaint too? The argument that this somehow puts gun owners in danger or subjects them to unfair scrutiny is absolutely ridiculous. These people are armed, they have one additional means of protection (if not more, since the only limit as far as I know in NYC is to have a safe after 7 guns). Speculation about what kind of criminals these lists/maps/dbs can attract is just foolish. By that logic, all store locators on websites could potentially attract thieves because they know where the goods are.
Wouldn't somebody who was worried about their privacy being threatened feel even more threatened by the threat of losing their freedom, and therefore their privacy? NY has some of the most stringent gun laws in the country, especially in NYC.
The infrastructure can withstand most natural disasters (and as you mentioned, time) because most of it is built from stone, concrete, & steel, as opposed to wood. This is fine for winds, hurricanes, even amateur terrorist attempts. However, most of the flooding damage happened not because of the rain downfall which was actually pretty little, but because of the surges happening in the coastal areas. A lot of the infrastructure also have below ground dwellings, cellars, and basements. The building codes are pretty strict here, I just got fined myself recently and those fines are anything but cheap. While it's true that structures built before 1968 do have a different set of codes to follow, our Dept. of Buildings keeps databases of every single structure, building, or residence, inspection dates, permits, etc.
Coincidentally, I just saw city council speaker Quinn on TV promising to help residents expediate the permit process for residents with damage. Every single change to your residence needs an architect to file for permits. Had I known that, I wouldn't be paying thousands in fines.
Agreed, but that's a pretty basic suggestion to make. I'm not sure I know a single person that randomly takes medication without knowing side effects. In adderall's case, knowing my blood pressure is just fine, cholesterol is low, and being in my late 20's I feel pretty safe and confident that the trade-off is something I'm more than willing to take.
Not exactly. Cydia is fairly safe providing you stick to the default repos. I know it's just specifics, but for equality's sake I'd rephrase that as "downloading apps from strange sources on an iphone and downloading apps from strange sources on an android are both like living in the ghetto". Regardless, to iOS users, just having android is ghetto enough;)
2nd on the Panda Cloud. It's effective, definition updates are measured in seconds or minutes (not every 30 days) as a result of being cloud based, and most importantly, it's extremely light on the CPU and knows how to stay out of the way unless it's needed.
i'm more curious as to why you need 300mbits for a restaurant that doesn't accept reservations because they seat "family style". I sincerely hope you're some kind of webhost and all that broadband isn't going to waste.
Could it be because the NYC TLC wants only their own app to be used for these purposes? The request for proposals for such an official app was release over the summer a few months ago, and the commissioner had a Q&A with interested companies.

How many of the other options are needed by your parents, or any other reasonable non power user? I'm guessing none.

By using identifiable information OTHER than your IP? There are tons of other options, ya know...

I'm not sure how I feel about it or where I stand on it yet, but the recently passed gun control laws in NYS allow permit holders to limit their information from public release: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/19/ny-gun-control-law-limits-public-info/1847485/

fair enough. you pay the licensing fee for google maps on ios, and we'll all enjoy it.

does your city have terrorist attacks? no? exactly. We believe we're the center of a universe for a very simple reason. We are. ;)

wow. sorry i didn't spend my last mod point on you. Realer words have never been typed.
UDID's aren't allowed to be used by apple anymore. Well maybe not disallowed but strongly discouraged, & depreciated in ios5, as far as I can tell.
dammit. too little too late. that'll be forever ingrained in my oh nvm. my brain has ARC
