    About 1 in 100 people in the crowd has a concealed weapon

    List of mass shootings, just for the 2010s, just schools... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States#2010s. Solution is not that simple, and this is not because you want to carry a gun that you have to let a whole population, that includes a lot of irresponsible people, use a gun as well. What happened in France is exceptional, and you seize the opportunity of an exceptional event to promote your own ideas. This is typically what do extreme parties (esp. right side), and what did parties before WWII. They catch an exceptional event to sell their own narrow minded stinky politcs.

  3. No, it was actually a special coating Apple would put on top of the glossy screen. It proved to be a very bad idea! This is why they stopped doing that...

    Don't underestimate the impact of the 2-weeks-ago-yet-fresh-massacre though. So, this time the protests are suppressed, and in a year from now they will be authorized again. Do you really think France, and especially the French, would accept a "state of emergency" lasting years? No. Moreover there are presidential elections in less than two years, and the party abusing the current situation more than necessary would be decimated by the voters. The French are really attached to freedom.

    Can you please find a newer cartoon, this one 378 has been seen at lest 100 times on /.

  6. Me. Because I'd like to do some iOS dev for fun, and there is no alternative ... you need a Mac for that.

  7. Is it supposed to be funny? Or is it just plain dumb?

  8. I thought about that, and agree Apple is usually taking (right) decisions on our behalf, but if you consider the number of posts from not glossy-satisfied people... spending [more] money on anti-glare stuff like that. Maybe they just couldn't reach the "retina" rendering without a glossy screen?

  9. Not offtopic! From the quote "Samsung and LG, which have both already integrated OLED technology", it appears, once again, Apple is late to the party. Leader they were, now they try to catch up. True for OLED. True for matte screens.

  10. 2015 on Apple Looks To Introduce OLED Displays In iPhone Models From 2018 (thestack.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The switch follows the steps of other smartphone makers such as Samsung and LG, which have both already integrated OLED technology in their mobile device ranges

    Plus, Apple, in 2015, is still not able to provide Macbooks with matte screens. Working while watching a mirror for hours is an eye killer..

    Took me some time, but eventually could get used to Unity. Usable now, less bugs and quite convenient - again give it time to get used to it.

    Show Alan Turing how his own work and discoveries, indirectly widely used today, are of major importance. And also, maybe ask him what he thinks about the "posthumous pardon" he was granted from the queen, only 61 years after his death...
