You should be able to see the rules for free by joining the Apple Developer program. It's 100% free, and you can create apps and run them in the iOS simulator all day long. What costs money is being able to push to devices, and to be able to get content approved for the app store.
Don't you have the option to remain jailbroken, jailbreak, or not update to the newest iOS at any given time to keep your JB? If Cydia apps are worth more to you than the increased functionality/methods for appstore apps, then your path seems rather obvious.
Until your device requires a warranty replacement, it fails, falls in the toilet, or whatever. Apple is militant about selling devices with the latest iOS version. You'd have to find a store that hasn't been restocked prior to the last update to avoid having the latest and greatest iOS on your device. So that isn't the perfect solution. It works for most people, most of the time, however.
Isn't that the truth? I feel bad for her too. She was an amazing athlete, and thankfully the school was generous enough to keep her on her full ride athletic scholarship as a team manager (Title IX FTW there, they would have dumped her if she was male). She's been on the meds a long time, and there are days where she can't get out of bed. But she appreciates life far more than some people I know who have far fewer problems.

I have back pain, you insensitive clod. BACK PAIN It hurts!
So go see a chiropractor.
It kinda surprises me how many "smart people" don't seem to realize that developing a heroin addiction isn't going to do shit to fix whatever's causing you pain.
It's kind of surprising home many smart people think that doctors and chiropractors can do anything for certain types of neck and back problems. I have a friend who hurt her back playing college basketball. She had 4 surgeries that just made her back worse every time. She takes narcotics because she needs something for the pain. Otherwise she'd probably want to kill herself. Is she an addict? Certainly. But you can't take narcotics long term without becoming physically addicted. It is physiologically impossible. That doesn't mean she is abusing them and out on the street trying to supplement her prescriptions. Also, heroine is an opiate but not all opiates are heroine.
Totally off topic, but you have to wonder. It's taking the DEA (not the FDA) years to prosecute doctors who are running obvious "pill mills". When you look at these docs, they're prescribing more than 2 standard deviation more narcotic scripts than the 'average' doc. Of course, there are occasionally some reasons for this - an oncologist or hospice doc for example, but too many of them are obviously fraudulent.
If they can't get the guy writing 500 scripts for 250 80 mg Oxycontin tablets / month (suitable only for a seriously terminal cancer patient) then the onsey-twoseys are going to get mostly overlooked.
The FDA isn't prosecuting them, but will pull their license if they are found to be prescribing more than they are expected to. And it doesn't take them that long to bust the pill mills in FL these days. They're often raiding pill mills within 6 months these days.
I'm willing to bet that they sell the prescription after they fill it. Now its possible they have a doctor friend write them a half a dozen fake scripts with fake names and aliases, but that's a good way for a doctor to have their license revoked. The FDA requires doctors to have a certain level of safe guards in place to prescribe a serious quantity of prescription pain meds. Now I suppose they could be writing a bunch of small prescriptions for 10 or 15 pills here and there, but the FDA tracks all those prescriptions.
What would happen if I did the same thing with my keys to my office building, would I spend even a day in prison? People get so blind to this, it doesn't matter if we are talking about 10 years or 30, even days in prison is too much for this. How did we get to talking about years?
It is not the same thing at all. Providing access to a physical location is not the same as providing access to the server infrastructure for a corporation. You don't know what keys he gave away, do you? Other than the fact that the LA TImes website was defaced, he may have given away far greater access than either he or the hacker knew. And if you gave away the keys of your office building so that your friend could rob the corporate safe of $250,000 then I am willing to bet that they would quite happily charge you with accessory to grand theft. Or if you gave away your keys to the office so that someone could be murdered then you would be an accessory to murder. Even if you did not know the person was going to commit these crimes, you would still be an accessory. Whether the penalty for the crime committed is just is one thing, but you are providing us with a false equivalency.
Also the damages to the LA Times may have been greater in this cyber vandalism than an actual physical vandalism would have been. Its possible (though I don't think anyone publicly knows this), that the Times spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to determine the cause of the breach, and the long term security implications. If you went and spray painted the lobby, they'd be out a can of paint and an hour or two of a security guard's time as he reviewed the video surveillance footage to determine the cause and extent of the trespass.
So, was it really Google Chrome, or was Linux to blame
Wasn't it both? They're both a component in the same vector.
If only there was "article" you could read that might tell you. From TFA: The same researcher that took Google's money last year for exploiting Chrome, known publicly only as 'PinkiePie' was awarded $40,000 for exploiting Chrome/Chrome OS via a Linux kernel bug, config file error and a video parsing flaw. So, it sounds like Linux. Google fixed this by patching Chrome OS, not Chrome per se.
I don't know that it guarantees that it is a Linux problem. Did they modify the Linux source to do something specific for Chrome OS? Is the video parsing issue specific to Chrome OS? Did they do something non-standard or inherently unsafe with the config file?
Car insurance $200 a month. Uncle Sam's rent money = 25% of pay = $4000 or $360 a month, Food = $350 a month or = the other 25%. Now rent you are looking at $700 a month. I live in cheap ass Florida and you can not find a good apartment for anything less.
You would need $25,0000 to just break even.
Woah nelly! I know Florida has expensive insurance, but $200 a month is pretty ridiculous. When I lived out west, my insurance was $86 every 6 months. in Sunny FL, it is $300 every 6 months. And I am not that old. Maybe you need to shop around a little?
From what I understand, there are small towns near Lafayette, LA where they have two Mardi Gras parades every year; one for white people, and one for "people of color." I haven't seen with my own eyes, but I have heard from people who grew up in the area and lived there within the last 5 years.
But that's all moot, because you can achieve the same thing as DST simply by having places of business open and close an hour earlier. Except, of course, without the downside of stupidly forcing everyone to change their clocks and adjust to a different time twice a year.
Don't I have to adjust to a different time twice a year if my work shift changes by an hour twice a year? I mean don't get me wrong, I hate DST, and I work from home most of the time, so it doesn't really matter to me, but it seems like its practically the same thing for 90% of the population.
these vial social outcasts will be doing is hax0ring into NORAD and launching nuclear warheads and initiating WWIII and I can't have that because I haven't finished watching Real Housewives, yet!"
Would you like to play a game?
Oh and I think you meant vile.. A vial is something you use in your chemistry lab!;)
Actually, if you've ever watched a game of Texas Hold'em on TV, they already have cameras pointing where the cards are supposed to be placed. And they probably have security cameras watching the pocket cards so that it's easy to tell when someone is cheating. I would be 100% surprised if the cameras did not allow the players cards to be seen. It makes no difference to the casino what is in the players hand. I've spent more than my fair share of time inside the security rooms of casinos and the card games have TONS of cameras pointed at them. Even the poker games, where the house has no stake in the outcome.
That's the beauty of the whole plan. No one does. Everyone does bad things, so everyone is bad, so everyone dies. There is no need for such silly and trivial definitions.
It always seemed like a simple solution to me. Kill everyone who does bad things and then hey! No more people doing bad stuff! What's wrong with that?
Would that "everyone" include those engaged in 'unapproved-of' vigilantism, as determined by other vigilantes?
No. That "everyone" includes everyone. No one is exempt from doing bad things. And when there is no one left, there won't be anyone to do the bad things anymore.
Well let me retract that, its not obvious that HE committed a crime, but that the hacker did. If there is evidence to suggest that he should be tried, then he should go to trial.
I'm seeing this word used a lot here. "Allegedly", hopefully that means his involvement is still uncertain.
As in, he hasn't been pronounced guilty before he's had his chance to prove his innocence.
But, it's the USA. He *has* been pronounced guilty. As can be clearly read at http://gizmodo.com/5990635/reuters-employee-exposed-as-anonymous-agent (with updates... where is the RSS feed?) it's just a matter of time. The verdict has already been reached. And the alleged culprit will get 30 years imprisonment for scribbling all over the book of his kindergarten friend. This is a very serious thing. The only way the breaking news could be more enthralling and nail-biting is if the death penalty was applicable to scribbling. Oh. Wait. 30 years? The death penalty would probably be too humane.
The media also said Casey Anthony was guilty of murdering her daughter Caylee but I don't recall her being convicted. People can and do act with free will from time to time. Anyway, everyone is saying that this is an insane sentence for a non-violent crime. I hate to break it to you, but there can be worse things than violence (except murder, obviously). I'm not saying that this case is worse than getting your butt kicked at a bar, but we have no idea just how much access that guy gave away. It's possible that through that compromised server the hacker could have gotten access to far more damaging data. Who knows. Who cares? The guy broke the law, without a doubt. Let him go on trial and we can see what his crime merits after the evidence has been presented.
I don't know. My in-laws needed 100k to buy a house so they got 10 10k cashier's checks from the bank cause the teller couldn't give them one check for more than 10k...
That is probably a bank policy and has nothing to do with suspicious transactions. You can go to the bank and ask for $100k in cash and, if they have it, they can legally give it to you. You just have to fill out a bunch of paperwork for any transaction greater than $9999.99. The purpose is to help combat money laundering. Its a whole heck of a lot harder to move around a bunch of cash if you can only deal with $9999.99 of it at a time. Or you just go out and buy a casino, which can easily launder hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash per day.
This just makes me want to watch "Team America" again. Not the best movie in the world but those guys sure know how to get the job done when it comes to N Korea;)
I'm sorry but going 27-29 after you exit a 55 highway down a short ramp is NOT reckless driving, that's what the majority of the tickets this system issued were for and it's a crock. I don't even live in the area and I think it's a pure revenue grab. We had a little village near here that did the same sort of thing, nailing people for doing 2 over on the highway, the state legislature finally shut them down by raising the number of residents required to operate a mayors court.
The exit ramp is considered to be part of the highway, if you ask me. If everyone has to slow down to 27-29mph before they get off the highway, it will cause terrible congestion and pollution for no reason. This definitely sounds like a load of crap.
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the speeds that people were going when they received a citation. If it's within 10% of the speed limit, then yeah it's probably a scam. Yet my experience is that speeders tend to go over 20% faster than the posted speed limit. In that case, it's not a scam. You break the law, you pay the price. As long as people are receiving notification of a speeding ticking before receiving their next speeding ticket, the police are perfectly within their rights to use highly efficient technology to catch those law breakers.
As I posted earlier, the speed limit is supposed to be posted at the speed that 80% of the traffic flows down the road (under 55mph). If everyone is going 20% over the speed limit, then that speed limit is probably artificially low. All states and municipalities have to follow these rules in order to qualify for Federal highway money. If you get the traffic survey for that road and it does not demonstrate a specific safety reason for the below average limit, then the limit is not valid. Its amazing how often municipalities artificially lower the tickets for revenue.
You're not really wrong here, but there's something awful about being watched all the time and being busted for every minor and often harmless infraction.
I understand the sentiment but speeding is not an "often harmless" infraction. It endagers yourself and those around you. (Semantics about whether the speed limits are set at the right level or not are here as well, but still).
Well now that depends. First of all, for any road less than 55MPH, the speedlimit is supposed to be set at the speed at which 80% of traffic travels down that road. If there are unknown risk or hazards that warrant a lower speed limit, then it may be lower. Otherwise, it is supposed to be based on the speed at which traffic flows. This is a federal issue, and the state governments do not like it when municipalities trample on the federal guidelines for this because the entire state will lose its National Highway Fund budget for failing to follow that guideline. There are definitely small towns with artificially low speed limits to increase ticket revenue. Speeding in those towns is usually only dangerous to your pocketbook.
Finally, going significantly slower than the rest of the traffic flow is dangerous to you and all of the other cars on the road. This is why many states also have a minimum speed limit that must be followed. In fact, various counties in Florida have announced that they are going to step up enforcement of people driving too slow because that is considered to be far more dangerous than a reasonably safe speeder (someone who is not weaving in and out of traffic recklessly, slows down when the circumstances dictate, etc). Of course, Florida has a problem with a certain segment of its population that will drive 40MPH in the left hand lane of a 70MPH zone with their hazard lights on....
How exactly was under-hydration causing sleep apnea? Are you saying that your tissue was swelling because it was drying out? Or something else? I've never heard of dehydration causing sleep apnea before.
Well, if you want to know explicitly, mucus is more viscous when less hydrated, and can clog up airways.
That is what I was wondering. So really you had a congestion issue, that was causing breathing difficulties. Did you have a sleep study, and if so, how many episodes did you have per hour? It surprises me that they weren't able to tell it was a congestion issue. I used to have obstructive sleep apnea and they used all sorts of diagnostics to determine exactly what my problem was. They scoped my throat and nose, took x-rays, performed sleep studies, etc.
Uhh most companies will let you disable incoming and outgoing text messages right on your account management page of their website. And all of the US ones let you call and disable text messages at any time. So I'm not sure where you are pulling the SMS thing from, but its not true. You can definitely have it disabled.
