  1. Forrest Gump was neither immoral nor amoral.

    So if "Russian collusion" comes up it's an automatic shot of vodka?

    I figured the comments would say that...as they have.

  5. I guess... on IBM Open Sources Mac@IBM Code (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    ...IBM forgave Apple for ditching the PowerPC chip.

  6. ...in a civil search like this what happens if everything is encrypted (as they should be), and/or in a cloud provider's storage?
    Do they have the "right" (using the term loosely) to seize devices they can't access like the US Border Patrol can?
    After 6 months, doubtless the victims (eg, those being searched) would have had time to prepare.

  7. "Warns" and "says"? The voice from beyond the grave is bigger news than theoretical science!

  8. Re:Affinity Photo on The Full Photoshop CC Is Coming To the iPad In 2019 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It died in my world. I'm still using Apple Aperture that I own rather than renting Lightroom, nor have I updated Photoshop past CS6. Eff that.

    Yeah, these types of cases are why I wish Apple would offer two factor authentication: Either fingerprint and PIN or facial and PIN.
    Fingerprint-only you might be able to game til the phone locks because the po-po don't know what fingers are registerd...but you only have one face.

    I guess you never heard of the snorkel?

  12. "What would this chip do, exactly?"

    I guess you didn't RTFA?

  13. Sure, I bet it was strongly worded. With all of Apple's production in China, the Chinese could stop every iDevice from being made until Apple restaged manufacturing outside of China. While Apple has the cash reserves to weather the lack of product for over a year while that happens, the decline in market share during that interregnum would be near-fatal, if not fatal.

  14. Google crawls the internet. Facebook doesn't. (and, of course, just because it's online doesn't mean that its in a search engine.

  17. SInce when are businesses/universities desk lines in either the white OR yellow pages?

    Even better. They're on the fucking campus directory which is on the fucking website.

    And if you were to give me a name and a company, I could come up with a desk extension in about five minutes, without subterfuge or resorting to Facebook.

    Please. The guy probably gives out business cards with his office phone number to random girls (or boys) at the bar. If you have a business and your phone number is a super double top secret, you're probably not going to stay in business long.

    Yeah, and they get from the fucking campus directory or the business cards into Facebook...how? Facebook doesn't fucking send out fucking bots to scrape fucking campus directories, nor is there a fucking VP of Typing In Fucking Business Cards, although that might be a good job for you with your fucking critical thinking skillz.

    Sure, but then he'll play the clueless card "Oh, I didn't know" or "I meant 'didn't' not 'did'" or somesuch.

    Besides, I always thought the shadow profiles were what they built to track those people who are not part of Facebook.

    Dude, just put on a shirt with a collar for ten minutes and get your buddy to take a pic of you. People just want to see that you can present yourself vaguely professionally, and that you are actually the Joe Smith they know and not some other Joe Smith.

    Or it's so the recruiters can see you're black/female/old/whatevertheydon'twant and avoid you.
