I mentioned do not mess with the Chinese... In the Apple versus Samsung lawsuit. I mentioned that this would only go one way.
The Chinese are starting to "Turn the Screw". you will see the shit hit the fan over the next 6 months and Apple will lose a user base. Anon are pretty funny with their stunts and it is not as if I am part of "Cult of the Dead Cow" Mo0o00o0o0o0
The USA offered 4 Billion in food aid to North Korea to quit a nuclear program many times and the politicians never intended to follow through "A spineless obligation" they would have just sent over contaminated food anyway to kill the part of the population.
Iran have the right to Nuclear Power and are actually extremely well managed. They actually have a right to defend themselves against malware and people in North Korea and Iran are awesome coders.It is all war threats and UK are complicit in this issue.
I am not connected to any terrorism group blah blah but I am a true hacker who prefers not to put technology in the hands of dangerous people as Sir Arthur C Clarke said don't do it, when I was at his place in Cinnamon Gardens Sri Lanka as some of his inventions were used for all the wrong reasons.
He was a friend of Einstein and so is Sir Patrick Moore who is a wonderful chap:) I suppose people should take a leaf out of what Sir Bertrand Russell said and that was "This idea of weapons of mass extermination is utterly horrible and is something which no one with one spark of humanity can tolerate. I will not pretend to obey a government which is organising a mass massacre of mankind".
Can you see where this is leading? and his other quote was "“The moral think I would wish to say is very simple: love is wise – hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other; we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way, if we are to live together and not die together. We must learn the kind of charity and the kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.”
(Bertrand Russell quote from a televised interview in 1958 at the age of 86)".
Some people have been highly critical of him, but he is only "Protesting about things that are NOT quite right" All he wants is for things to be fair and he does read comments on/.
I feel it is slightly unjust that when he makes a point about Gnome but some do not like it. He has a valid and sane point of view. Linus has given an awful lot to the open source community and he deserves respect. He is not just a programmer, but an engineer and he has empathy.
'Like Walter White, it [Apple] has mixed the proper elements at just the right amounts to create highly pure, addictive products. The products have been made within secretive working conditions. The skill employed to design and manufacture them tends to make what competitors put out seem like cheaper, cloudier, less effective imitations.'
I am no Apple fanbois, but I had spent past few decades in the tech field
What TFA has forgotten to list are the following:
I. Vision
Almost everyone in the Silicon Valley, since the 1980's, have gone through similar experiences, and have used similar gadgets.
What Steve Jobs got, which others unfortunately didn't have, is a vision.
From hardware (Mac to NeXT to iBook to iPhone / iPad), to software (MacOS to OS X to iOS), Mr. Jobs opted for his own path
That takes vision.
II. Attention to detail
We can't deny that the one thing that makes Apple different from the rest of the crowd is their attention to detail.
From the way MacIntosh can create smooth curvy fonts to the "feel" of the original iPhone when it first came out (as versus the offering from the rest of the cellphone industry), Mr. Jobs had taken great pain in making sure that the products that have the "Bitten Apple" mark on it come with as few bugs as possible
As I said, I am no Apple fanbois, and I do not own any Apple product
Brother you are 31337. I do not own anything by Apple either especially after doing some dev work for them many moons ago, I swear they stole *nix and I threatened them with PC DOS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_DOS so therefore I had better shut up before Microsoft sue Google who are suing Samsung and the RIAA or MPAA are suing someone else!
Good reply and I see you are quite well informed. We have to eventually go back to a gold or silver standard. Maybe you could submit a news story on this including going back to a barter system?
I barter all the time with friends and family even though I could pay for some work to be done; but the value of work I give in exchange is fair and you get a little bit more satisfaction from that instead of currency changing hands. just an idea!
Apple are idiots and they have just not thought about the ramifications.
The USA owes China over a Trillion in federal bonds which is $1,000,000,000,000 by USA standards or UK $1,000,000,000,000,000,000 to bail out the banking crisis and also fund the Iraq War. if you are stuck with getting your mind around the numbers this helps http://www.jimloy.com/math/billion.htm
If China calls in that debt and demands it in GOLD as they can do legally you will see a serious crisis and the currently economies around the world will seem like a Holiday (Vacation) and people will be fighting for food and you will not give a damn about your computer Apple/Mobile/Cellphone/Facebook/Twitter or/. (Tongue in cheek)
I think they should ask for maybe a quarter of it back just to get the ball rolling and see what happens as an experiment.
I really do feel for this person who was held on remand as things like this can be life shattering, not only being held as a prisoner, but also for your family members but your reputation and employment prospects are severely affected.
Any financial compensation does not help at all as you will always be "Known as that person who". Hopefully another Slashdot member could take up another angle on this.
Cross contamination occurs all the time and law enforcement agencies and the police are only interested in a conviction as it helps their careers like people who work in sales and marketing and get paid commission on results. Motivation is for all the wrong reasons.
The recommendations are retarded. 1 in 1,000,000 vs. 3 in 1,000,000 chance of cancer.
Sorry but without statistical and systematic errors those numbers are meaningless and, for all the information presented, could be the same within errors. Even if those were included the incredible rarity and complexity of accounting for all non-circumcision related effects probably mean that there is no meaningful way to determine whether there is a significant difference. For example the US has a far higher circumcision rate than Europe but a lower rate of penile cancer there might be due to any one of a number of as-yet-uninvestigated causes given the differences in lifestyle and diet.
Roger has basically covered all angles and I am not about to reinvent the wheel; but I wanted to state something regardless of it being controversial. Keep yourself clean. This applies to Men and Women. I have my foreskin and doing military training in the Amazon basin plus Belize, My foreskin kept infections out I also saw many people circumcised who were more prone to having a "Tick".
I am not saying I am 100% correct apart from keep yourself clean.
No to upset some Muslim people here as mother nature is counted as God. If you mess around with life RDNA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_DNA you are eventually going to end up with a strain to which you cannot control.
The United States has especially looked for the so called "Holy Grail" of all chemical warfare as Hitler did. What people do not understand is the consequences and or ramifications.
Have a look at Japanese knotweed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_knotweed "It is lovely when it flowers" brought to the UK in the 1800's and Only now after over 100 years the consequences are being realized as it will break through reinforced concrete and keep on going...... but as always; every year it has a beautiful flower.
Does that not sound familiar? I.E "Put up with the wife as she looks pretty once a year". Sorry same goes for other relationships too.
Well before/. it is black boxes being installed on lines and emergency secret powers exercised by the UK gov under anti terrorism legislation so phone calls can be monitored to prevent terrorism at the Olympics. British Telecom owns the lines and the government controls communication devices.
Please do not be fooled because this is being done underhandedly to spy on P2P traffic so under emergency anti-terrorism powers this is where we have ended up despite legal wranglings. The law states, that the British Government can do anything they like if on the qualifying legal basis "If is deemed (Within the Public's best Interests)".
In layman terms legally the government can do anything they like and decide your future as long as it is "" (within your best interests).
That is why people protest. I am sure another slashdot reader or journalist can give extra credit to this by adding citations as truly I do not have the time!
You can use this tool for free http://pcdecrapifier.com/removes Why the hell would someone want to charge you to remove bloatware that you never asked for in the first place... hang on don't tell facebook they will remove your profile, photographs etc for $300.
I can understand you became voted as a Troll. 5. Most people would have voted you up with mod points if you did not refer to Zuckerberg as a geek. He is not a geek and never will he nor facebook. It was just and idea between friends which expanded. Since when does that make one a geek? Facebook is like Jamie Dimond of JP Morgan Chase.
I should shut up now before I start going on a corruption rant!:)
The only watch to wear is a Suunto with a Black Storm Professional and my friends at RV near 42 commando do these http://www.rvops.co.uk/electronics-80/suunto-watches-26. If however you are in another country you can find an official supplier.
Besides having a Rolex Sub-Mariner with a beautiful Blue Dial etc that cost me over £12,000.00, it is only worn for "special occasions".
My advice is get a Black Storm Professional from GWS or Traser H3 internationally just google it.
Wow. Social acceptable racism known as a blonde joke. Let's try putting any other racial term in there and see how fast you'd be modded as troll.
I fear you had a sense of humour bypass; then by your own example decided to pull a racism card and attempted to draw me into a flame war. I would not like to disappoint you by not disappointing you.
Was this funded by retailers or just another piss poor attempt to implement another good big brother idea. It never ceases to amaze me how many people get conned into this type of technology. Mind you if you are female and blonde; you will accept this with open arms and cannot resist a discount on those pair of new shoes.
It also reminds me of the old joke " Two Blondes walked in to a shop. You would have thought one of them would have seen it"
This seems alarmist. Phone penetration to market is slowing, but device adoption is based on capability, not a simple "have" vs "have not". The adoption rates fluctuate with all economic trends, but as new devices come out - people buy them. Ever was so. Even now, the market is not based on selling someone their first phone.
So in 2 or 3 years, we'll have faster devices with something cooler: (facial recognition, mini projectors, live translation, gesture interfaces, instant collaboration tools) and everyone will buy it.
Surely you're not conceited enough to think your generation is the era where all prophecies comes to pass? You can be forgiven, it's a common mistake - but recognize that we're headed to places you cannot dream up still.
Actually call me a dinosaur! I still appreciate your views.
Would that be Microsoft's hidden features patent or another google, facebook or apple patent? Actually no! Whilst writing I this; I have deduced it could only be a Monsanto patent.
Nokia almost went bankrupt about 8 years ago and still is on the verge of bankruptcy. Signing deals is for bankers and investors to trade useless stock. Windows 8 will not go ahead despite the hype.
How can you get excited about a phone... a vibrator maybe. Remember there are only so many people on the planet and those who you can sell phones to before one hits saturation point of the marketplace. Expect all mobile phone manufacturers to suffer in the not to distant future along with M$ and Apple!
The bubble will burst and is bursting but it is all in slow motion so that you do not notice it as much.
For some strange reason that reminds me of how "The New World Order" has been implemented over the past 40 years!
