The funny thing about your statement is, there are grassroots and smaller parties who would fit 80 percent of Americans more than the Republicans or Democrats do but they seem to be totally unaware of it. For Republicans, there's Libertarian, Patriot Party, the LaRoche followers, Independent, etc. For Democrat there's, Green, Independent, Libertarian (social that is), Socialist, Communist. Theres even more that I am not listing. I don't understand why 99 percent of voters vote for either Republican or Democrat when there are so many choices. Hell, you can write your own name on the freaking ballot.
Apple haters? Seriously. Hardly anyone hates Apple, they just think their products suck so they use other ones. To be fair, Steve Jobs is kind of an asshole and disliking him is disjoint from disliking Apple products.
Subscriptions DO NOT go through Apple servers. The application that downloads subscription content does come from the App store. The subscription content itself is located on the servers of whatever company you subscribe to. For example, a New York Times app downloads the News/Images from New York Times servers via your connection you pay for. Apple is basically trying to get a chunk of subscription sales when they have no part in delivering the data other than the one time you actually download the application which retrieves information from elsewhere on the internet.
Computer Science : Research in actual computational algorithms, numerical analysis applications to computer science, etc. Think a mathematician that specializes in computation. Sure, it sort of exists in mathematics i.e. computational mathematics, but computer science used to be much more mathematics based. Imagine computer science guys theoretically designing quantum algorithms right now for research.
Software Engineer : As someone said below, an engineer legally responsible for output. Someone who designs and implements a medium to large software projects with an engineering mindset. I.e. more emphasis on design, implementation, algorithms, rather than menial things like the coding. Think of someone that does flow charts, does research in what algorithms to use, GUI design, etc.
Coder : Someone that specializes in coding for technology. Think like a light version of the engineer, more-so skilled in the practical things like multiple programming languages, software use, and platforms to code on. Similar things exist today, look at the difference between a Computer Science Information Systems guy and a Business School Information Systems guy.
An analogy? Ok, there are Physicists that know about the science behind mechanics/dynamics, there are Mechanical Engineers who know the science and can implement it in a design for a practical object, and there are Mechanical Engineering Techs that can do CNC, CAD and machine parts better than any ME guy can.
Thats just Fox News for you. I am not sure why its so full of bat-shit crazy people. Between that blubbering twat Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck, its a regular loonie bin.
China attacks by erosion. They steal American product ideas, produce them cheaper in China, and out compete us. Then there is the hacking seemingly not so interesting things. However, over time, they accumulate a significant advantage.
Actually, I work with quite a few Chinese people at a lab here in Houston. This is what they told me. If you are an only child, and you marry someone who is an only child, then you can have two children. However, if either parent is not an only child they can only have one child. It used to be 1 child per family, but they changed it.
Yep. Read it later. Not sure it was the smartest thing to do, but probably the safest bet. 11-22 looks a lot better than 30-75 if its a sure thing either way.
Or, it was an attempt at capitalizing on stock manipulation and they got paid off that way already. Think about it, short the stock when its high, release this information, wait awhile, buy back in double (so now you have a long) and release that it all was a hoax. Now you just made a killing on the short, and got Nokia stock back at a cheap price. Maybe even skip the long part, you still made money.
I was thinking the same thing. Probably a Coder who thinks hes a "Software Engineer". I wish they would separate the two into different colleges, like Computer Science = Pure Science College (like math/physics), Software Engineering = Engineering College (like electrical/computer/mechanical engineering), and Coder = Technology College (like information systems).
No you don't. Subscription content does not go through their servers. It goes through a connection you pay for separately, onto a device you paid for. Apple has absolutely nothing to do with subscription content, only hosting the app itself until it is downloaded onto your phone. It would be more sensible of Apple to charge hosting fees for the Subscription apps, not 30 percent of subscription sales. That is a greedy, dick thing to do and frankly they don't give a shit about their app developers because one more sucker is already waiting to take their place and everyone is obsessed with Apple products these days.
Is anyone else disturbed that the Department of Homeland Security can take down websites? Isn't that outside of their scope? They are supposed to protect us from outside threats like terrorism or attack, not child porn. Thats FBI territory I would think.
I re-read my analogy. Its not entirely correct and sounded sort of bad. Here : Suppose I hit someone at an intersection. If I am not drunk at all, then there is a good chance an insurance adjuster will offload some of the blame on the other person. If am drunk 100 percent of the blame is on me. Why? Impaired judgment. For all you know the girl had consensual sex with him and the case wasn't even heard in court because the court skewered this kid with the Facebook comments which could have been an over-reaction on his part. They backed him into such a corner that he HAD to sign a plea bargain because he probably had no chance of winning and would face possibly the rest of his life in prison. Anyone can over-react, and then later do the right thing. For example, my aunt was raped by one of her cousins. My grandmother actually hired someone to go beat the shit out of him, but later called it off because she knew it was wrong. There are two sides to every story and this guys side is completely unheard.
There was a police sting. Read http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20110211_Facebook_search_for_hit_man_gets_teen_22_years.html . Im not suggesting anything you are accusing me of, I am merely calling bullshit on the way they convicted him. He signed a plea bargain because he was forced to because it looked really bad what he said on Facebook when its still not even clear if he actually intended for her to be killed or not. He didn't get convicted because he actually was tried in a court of law. If someone accused me of raping them and I did not and I faced having my entire life ruined because of them, it would cross my mind that I would want to hurt them. Im smarter than that however, but not everyone is. Furthermore, being drunk damages her credibility. Same shit happens with automobile accidents. If I get hit at a stop sign, even though it was my turn to go, if I have sufficient alcohol in my system I am considered at fault because my judgment is impaired. The case was not even heard, they just forced him into a corner without absolute proof of anything because he made some stupid remarks on Facebook.
How is it different than Monsanto breeding/engineering Round-up ready soy-beans? He could select a bunch of mates and have children. The most successful ones are the next product?
but he seemingly didn't give anybody any reason to think he was joking.
However that still doesn't mean he wasnt joking. Its way too easy for women to cry rape and be accepted only at their word and signs of sexual activity. Even consensual rougher sex can look like rape. Whatever though, Im more for being absolutely sure someone committed a crime rather than forcing them into a corner with a plea bargain as a career building move.
Point is, they don't have enough evidence to support the rape claim because 1) The girl already said she was sick from alcohol at a party which means she was probably intoxicated 2) When people are intoxicated, they get promiscuous 3) She apparently allowed the man into her car as nowhere did is say he force entry and 4) She has an incentive to hide the fact she slept with this guy to protect her reputation. 5) They are going off of ONLY her word and probably the fact that her vagina has signs of sexual activity. DUH. Of course vaginas look like they have had sexual activity after sex. Drunk sex can be rougher than sober sex. Its easier to cry "RAPE!" than accept responsibility for your actions. This dude was obviously mad enough to joke (or maybe not) about having her killed. He obviously thought better of it by NOT SHOWING UP TO THE POLICE STING that tried to actually get him to actually agree to the hit. I would be absolutely irate if someone lied about me raping them. As I said before, being labeled a rapist is actually a worse than being labeled a murderer in this society.
You must have never had a dog. They have perfectly reasonable apprehension of danger. If I raise my fist, they will back away, if I yell at them, they will back away. Dogs can sense aggression, anger, and dominance, and they get scared and hide if they sense somethings about to happen to them.

What they did in this case, is use his ramblings online to bootstrap themselves into a plea bargain. Plea bargains are quick and easy, and look good to the public "because justice has been done". It was a career building move.
Well, I would say you are right if it weren't for the fact that between the ages of 12-18 most kids are babied by the school system, babied by their parents, and taught that they have a right not to be offended or have any hardships in life. How many times do asshole parents come along and screw with teachers because their child and the teacher don't get along? Let 'em work it out themselves. Thats what adults do. I would also be more willing to say you are right if they would allow 18 year olds or younger to drink alcohol. I would also say you are right if they would allow 16 year olds to vote. The problem with arbitrary cut-offs between childhood and adult hood is that most wont be ready for it.

In Apple's eyes you are leasing their property, you don't own your own hardware.
