Maybe they should talk to their friends in Sony Music about the Loudness War first before going on about music purity.
I never knew there was a wiki article on this phenomenon--thanks! I tend to look at "Digitally Remastered" on an older title to be analogous to" Fair Warning."
This story is a dupe from my grandfather's generation, who cried about the same thing.
One huge advantage that the US had against the Japanese in WWII were soldiers and sailors in the field who'd been building and fixing engines and other mechanical devices since they were kids. The Japanese had to train theirs as adults..and there's no substitute for experience.
Why does the payload need admin privileges to encrypt your files? Unless your account only has read access to your data, but that would be very cumbersome.
"You mean like how when Apple purposefully degrades the performance of older iOS devices when a new iOS version is out"
Example? So far (and I've run every iOS release) they do the opposite - they allow a much wider range of devices to upgrade than any other consumer electronics company.
Yeah, and the 8.01 update specifically targeted slow performance on both the 4s and the iPad2 (which made an appreciable speed difference on my 32GB model). This is really a non-issue.
"Apple does disable new features that run badly on older hardware, such as Siri only being available on newer phones, but that's the opposite of degrading - it's protecting users from degraded performance. So, as is typical with Apple, they'd rather deliver less functionality, with better performance, while Google goes the opposite direction - all sorts of functionality, but iffy performance. Both strategies are legitimate, and suit different kinds of users.
Cops should NEVER be allowed to lie outside of specific, warrant backed undercover operations. I will never understand when it became ok for those charged with enforcing the law to lie without shame.
I can hear Donnie Brasco now, "I'm not allowed to lie to you and pretend I'm a fellow mobster. Please shoot me now and drop me in the Hudson."
That doesn't seem to be quite in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights. "Land of the smart enough to avoid being framed by the justice system" - doesn't have the same ring, does it?
If (the collective) you don't choose to exercise your rights (right to be silent, right to an attorney), haven't you voluntarily left the protections of the above?
And then the public defender you're assigned because you can't afford a decent lawyer tells you to go ahead and plead guilty to the lesser charge, even though everyone knows it's a false charge (the accusing party has a long history of making such charges and is well-known to the local police and judiciary) since it really doesn't mean anything, and you'll just get probation, but if you take it to trial they'll be mad and will throw the book at you. And two weeks after you are frightened and pressured into pleading guilty, and are sentenced to several years in prison, your lawyer is hired by the state as an assistant prosecutor.
"I've got three witnesses that put you there, DNA evidence, and some video with someone wearing jeans and a white hoodie, just like you wear, though the face isn't visable. You'll get the death penalty. If you give me a confession, we can get it down to manslaughter. First offense. You'll probably just get probation. Here's some paper."
Yeah, police being able to lie is a great idea. I'm sure it benefits somebody. Other than the owners of for-profit prisons, I'm not sure who.
And the answer to that scenario is, "I'd like to see a lawyer, please." and not say another word.

"... him and John Stultz continue to back and forth ..."
What in the world is happening, editors?
The only editors on slashdot are some vi's, some pines, and a couple of notepads and textedit. Certainly, no human editors....
...but thank you, France.
Remember the literal definition of the cloud: "Someone else's server."

And they invented the Internet before Al Gore did, too!

It needs admin privileges to clobber VSS.
...and hire hit men pour encourager les autres.
I'm sure in Russia they're all occupied masquerading as Ukrainian separatists.

Very well said.
If Apple is using "too much space" of their 16GB, how much do they think is using ENOUGH space...and how did they arrive at that number?
"Though multitasking millennials seem to be more open to distraction as a workplace norm.
More open to distraction, sure, but not more productive because of it. The brain just doesn't work that way.
Maybe she did, and that was how Sony got hacked...
You win the internet for the day.
"Come on, come on, and do the Google motion with me..."
You have too new of a UID to know that song!
I read "Google Motion" and my first thought was "Oh great, yet another Google product I've never used...."

Then you're too stupid to be free.
Bingo. You're absolutely correct.

It is Microsoft, so what works well in this version will stop working well in the next.
It's even worse than you think...it's Flash on top of the Microsoft mobile....
My guess is that this is a last-gasp effort to make some money before it goes under.
...using pages straight from the SCO playbook.....
First, my state isn't Maryland. Secondly, unlike yours, my state isn't a province of Mexico...again.
Maybe the deep pockets get out of taxi medallions and start investing in tulips.
...as TFA seems to imply. In the People's Republic of Maryland, the Democrats managed to gerrymander wacko-conservative Western MD into laughably liberal Montgomery County in an effort to dilute the conservative's strength.
All politicians suck.
What about "Gn"s or "K"s?
I don't iKnow.
Microsoft should send the Chines Gov't a $136M bill for piracy.
