This doesn't even make sense. There's no way these sites were using AppleID accounts, or collecting them.
Seriously, it is not even in the realm of things that are possible that someone who prefers using devices that are marketed as "it just works" would use the same credentials on multiple services. In fact, such a thing is literally inconceivable. It's so inconceivable that I don't even know what I'm talking about. None of this makes sense.
they immediately took it from his pocket after shooting him.
Maybe they should have taken it from his pocket before shooting him. Maybe that should have been their priority if they felt like their lives were in danger. That third guy standing there with his gun drawn could have been disarming the guy.
Also, your comment is VERY sexist
Why, because you're assuming that women are weaker than men? Which one of us is sexist? I don't care if it's men or women, if 3 people cannot control the hands of 1 person after getting all of the training that they do, then they're probably in the wrong job. You have 1 person per hand, plus an additional person. Surely someone wearing a badge on their chest should be expected to know how and be able to control 1 arm or hand. If 3 people can't figure out how to disable someone who's not even high on PCP or whatever else without shooting them 4 times then we've got problems.
Assess the situation. Is the person 300 pounds? Is there a gun in his pocket? Are there 2 officers laying on him and another standing over him? OK, then shoot him 4 times in the chest. This will be on the test.
Uh, no I didn't. That's what we call a "rhetorical question." If 3 men couldn't control his arms then they probably don't need to be doing that job. If 3 police can't control 1 man then that's the problem, that's not a reason to just blast the guy.
First, none of what you said is punishable by death. Second, did you watch the video? The guy is laying on the ground with 2 officers on top of him and another over him, they can't control his hands and instead need to just shoot him several times?
No one said anything about benchmarks, it's "results". Actual results are what matter, not a number that says what should theoretically happen.
At least I have a card that works AND games well on linux with open drivers.
That's fantastic, how are you enjoying playing Fallout 4 on Linux? Or, wait, you wouldn't use Steam on Linux, because it's not open and everything that isn't open has backdoors, and you're not a cuck, therefore you only and exclusively use open software. So which games do you play, exactly?
That is what I thought he meant, but I don't think the logic holds up. After 2 years the new $200 cards tend to beat the previous generation which drop in price to the same price point.
He's saying he buys the mid-tier option from the previous generation, not the high-tier option from the previous generation which is now at the current generation mid-tier price. He's saying that when the next generation of cards comes out, he'll consider the GTX 1060 (which, presumably, will be priced even lower than it was when it was new).
If they want Spotify could charge $9.99 and apple would take 30% of that.
Right, but then Spotify gets less money from those users, and why, because they signed up on an iPhone instead of an Android phone or a desktop? Why is that a reason for Spotify to get paid less? If Spotify is going to get charged when someone signs up on an iPhone then they should be able to pass that cost on to whoever decides that they need to use their iPhone to sign up. There's no reason Spotify should pay that. If you insist on only using your iPhone to sign up, fine, here's the $3 extra monthly tax. The rest of us will use a desktop or literally any other method to not get charged that extra amount every month just because Apple wants to charge Spotify when people sign up using their hardware.
It is not a US type tax that is added after the price.
In reality, what's the difference? What's the practical difference between a 30% sales tax rate and companies charging 30% more because they themselves get charged when people use that hardware? The single difference I can detect is where that 30% goes. In this case, it doesn't go to the government.
Spotify ends up getting their exact same $9.99 a month and that is what Spotify wants and does not want to pay for the benefits apple gives the seller.
Spotify simply disagrees that those so-called "benefits" are worth 30% of the total price. I tend to agree with them. They are big enough and well-known enough that they do not need to give Apple 30% of their subscription price if someone uses Apple hardware to register for their service. It's not like everyone knows about Spotify because of Apple. They did their own marketing, they built their own brand. They don't owe Apple shit, Apple is just the poster child for greedy companies and thinks that everyone will be happy to follow any rule they decide to make because their shit doesn't stink. Well, it does stink, and if companies want to pass that 30% Apple tax onto the user they should be allowed to do so without Apple shutting off access.
When someone speaks with an English accent and refers to "Cambridge" without mentioning the state, country, etc, obviously they are referring to the Cambridge in the Waikato in New Zealand. Everyone knows that.
When in doubt, look it up on Wikipedia and see which one pops up with the link to the disambiguation page. That's probably the one they're referring to.
The entire time watching the video I was thinking about having to debug it. Finding the transistor that doesn't work anymore or the wire that broke inside the insulation has to be a fun exercise in narrowing down the problem until you've found the cause.
If you go to Spotify's site and sign up, they charge you $9.99. If you sign up through the iOS app, they charge you $12.99, and they owe Apple 30%, so Apple gets that extra $3. That's the Apple tax. Spotify doesn't pay it, they still get their $9.99 (a little less, 30% of 12.99 is 3.87 or so), you pay it. You pay Apple $3 extra every month for your $10 Spotify membership.
You're willing to pay an extra $3 per month because you don't have to enter your billing information when you sign up (once)? That's really worth $3 per month to you? Because it's you that is paying that extra charge, not Spotify. Apple is charging you $3 per month to use the same app through your phone that you would use on a computer or whatever else. And you're suggesting that's a good value to you? Is it really that difficult to enter your billing information, or is that just a hassle that you're willing to pay an extra $36 per year to skip?
I'm looking for answers to these questions because I don't understand business or money at all, and obviously you do. So, where exactly is that extra value that makes it worth $3 per month to you?
Well, assuming you're using an Apple iPhone(tm) with IR technology that responds to random outside commands, and the police are using an Apple iPhone Deactivator(tm) to remotely control your phone, then yes you won't be able to record them doing that. But, don't worry Apple fan, people with other phones who didn't want to pay royalties to Apple for the privilege of having their phones remotely controlled by random outside commands will still be able to film your beatdown.
Soon enough, you will all bow down to your Canadian overlords as we become the dominant economy and dominant culture throughout the world.
You guys have a head of state that doesn't even live in your own country, and you think you're going to become the dominant culture?
Well, I'll tell you what - you guys work on building a world-leading space program, and when you get there make sure to let the rest of the world know so that we can figure out if your culture is the dominant one.
Because he was an idiot, he "wasted his semen on the ground". Traditionally, this is taken to mean he milked his nuts dry beforehand, then had sex with his brother's widow anyway, knowing she wouldn't get pregnant.
I don't think that's what "idiot" means. Sounds like the guy had the right idea.
It's also of note that his execution was at God's hand
God is the original player hater.
She posed as a prostitute and rolled Judah for his ID when the deed was done.
Hold on, what did God do to Judah for visiting a prostitute? He killed the one dude for wanking, but what about visiting escorts? Is that not really so bad? Someone should tell the hacker that he's not doing God's work.
I just know that back then when I was in school, the lessons suddenly became hugely unproductive the moment the computers were turned on. Essentially everybody ended up surfing facebook or youtube
"Back when you were in school" people were on Facebook and Youtube? "Back when I was in school" we were playing Number Munchers, Oregon Trail, etc, and it was entirely possible to learn with a computer. Maybe the problem now isn't the computers, maybe the problem is that kids don't know how or don't want to learn.
How far away from Carlisle, Plymouth or Inverness are they, you stupid cunt?
412 miles, 374 miles, and 574 miles, respectively, you stupid cunt. For Brussels, anyway. Inverness is 788 miles from Strasbourg. All of these numbers are less than 1000. Happy to help, let me know if you want me to Google anything else for you, although it's actually not that difficult to do on your own.
Meanwhile, I live in a city that is about 2,000 miles from my national capital.
That gives me nightmares, that was my first smartphone. I've upgraded twice since then, you should really consider it. When I booted that up to wipe it back to defaults it felt like I had discovered some relic of a bygone era.
Slashdot really needs to add a feature where if the word "hack" appears in the headline or summary, the first post is always someone saying that this isn't "hacking", with a reply to that post with the dictionary definition of "hack". Might as well just automate this process to save people the time of writing out the comments every time "hack" appears in a story.
And, yes, I realize you left out the relevant definition.

I've watched both of them, actually.

I would guess that sexconker (the cow guy) is also the app guy. It's the same brand of repetitious high comedy that he seems to enjoy.

And rather than use infrared the signal will come from the cell tower.
So, in other words, you're describing a situation that has nothing to do with Apple's patent. Got it.
There are generally other workable replacements to be had for most of He's uses. Just ask Zeppelin about that.
We can't just replace He with Pb, idiot.
