I know right? And he was voted 5 insightful. For having an utterly delusional and just plain ridiculous point. It kind of shows you what slashdot has become.
The article is just settling down the hype, which I commend. For weeks now the internet has been full of articles about how wonderful Apple is for recycling and how much they're doing. Articles, no doubt, authored by their own PR department and/or paid shills of it. The reality is they paid an outside firm to satisfy their legal obligation. Something that, no doubt, all companies around them do as well. So why isn't there a similar article about Google or Microsoft? Well, as bad as those companies are, there's no one that comes close to Apple in lack of shame.
I'm not anti-American. I simply don't think it's a good idea for other countries citizens to put so much trust in American companies. By virtue of not being American you give up any civil protections the government might award their own citizens. This is simply the way countries work.
Those security features require the data to be mounted within the iPhone's runtime processes. You can always reverse engineer (or get a source code leak of) their encryption algorithm, mount the data (or a copy of it) externally, and brute force it that way. A 4 digit pin is what? 100,000 combinations? It wouldn't even take a second to brute force. I'd imagine this is close to what the FBI ended up doing.
Almost nothing of any Apple-sponsored story is actually true. This company seems to operate it's marketing department like a propaganda arm these days. A very effective one at that.
Cool, but not that impressive. My arduino is the size of an ATMega328, with the Arduino bootloader installed on it. There's nothing extraordinary being done here. You take a ATMega328, and solder it into a PCB with the smallest components you can find and you get to be called a "Scientist"? Score!
I dont think so. I looked at many many reviews as well and the Mazda CX-5 was supposed to be the best in class. I drove it, it was nice, lacked a lot of the features the Ford had though, and it was also 20% more on the monthly payment. Also many reviews highly rate the CR-V and I drove one of those as well. Drove great, except to get the same monthly payment I had to get the absolute stock model. The Ford I ended up getting was for the simple reason that it came absolutely loaded, while still being cheaper than the other guys that had less features. Will it fall apart in 5 years? I think that's a lot of hyperbole. The cheapest feeling vehicle was definitely the Hyundai and, surprise, surprise, it cost more too. It's a lease anyways - owning cars isn't very smart.
Hard to feel sympathy for someone that murdered over 70 children in cold blood, for nothing other than political ideals, when his main complaint is "they leave me alone for too long". By most people's sense of justice he should be hung up by his toes and beaten to death slowly by the parents of the victims. If you had children, or ever lost anyone to political murder, perhaps you'd agree. Now I understand your response is going to be about applying the law equally and how we must uphold basic human rights for all, so you might as well not even bother.
2003 called, it wants it's opinion back. I say this as someone that just exhaustively tested every SUV model I could. The Japanese aren't what they used to be. Ford beat everyone in price, features, warranty, and interest rates. The Japanese cars still drive well, and expect to have a higher residual, they are just a way worse deal.
I'm not really aware of the postfix configuration parameter 'forward_all_mail_to'. Typically, a mail transfer agent program will look up a recipient in a user table, and if there's no match, will bounce the message. How are they configured that Steve can become the default recipient for all mail... by accident? Suspicious to say the least.
This should be common sense to anyone over the age of 20. Social media does not help you, at least not how it's currently designed. To have one or two American, for-profit, companies have complete power and control over the entire worlds digital social existence is staggeringly irresponsible. I don't think Orwell could even have dreamt up a more efficient tool for control, manipulation, and corruption.
You must be young. You see my job, car and house as a luxury? When I'm done working 10-12 hours a day and after paying for it all I'm lucky to be able to have a few minutes and a few bucks to treat myself to a cold beer. Choice? I suppose I could have chosen to live on a park bench and abandon my family. I know, I know... because a lot of the world lives in poverty I should simply shut up and be grateful while also taking on all the burdens and guilt of the society I was born into right? Says the guy posting to an internet forum, from a computer, in what I can safely assume is a well lit, well heated building. Although, it is pretty easy to judge and speculate from your Mom's basement I'd imagine.
The economic model we employ doesn't operate well with shrinking populations. Even so, you can safely have one or two kids without expanding the population much. So I hope you're not one of those people that feels high and mighty for being kidless, because you're really not helping as much as you think you are. Also, we all know it's just a pathetic attempt to psychologically accommodate for the fact that no woman will sleep with you.
Assuming OP is telling the truth, he is a massive minority not because of ignorance or apathy, but for economic reasons. Most people are not able to live close enough to work to bicycle, for economic reasons. Most people are not even able to live in detached private housing, for economic reasons. And most people are not able to spend 10s to 100s of thousands of dollars retrofitting their house for solar power, for economic reasons. Why are you mad at the hamsters running the wheel they were told to run? You're upset with the wrong people my friend.
I have a car, because I have to drive to work. It's expensive to own a car and I'd rather not, but it's much more expensive to live in the downtown core where my office is, and to have my wife stay home with the kids. Therefore we both work, we live in the burbs, and we drive to work and daycare... like everyone else. Not because we want to, but because we have to.
I heat my house with natural gas and power it from whatever power is on the grid because it's my only option as well. I live in a townhouse and don't think I'd have much success convincing everybody to upgrade their furnace and install solar panels above their unit. I'd love to live in my own detached house with infinite money to customise it for the planet, I simply can't afford to do so.
I recycle as much as I can, even though there's evidence that for many products it costs more energy to recycle than make new, such as with plastic.
This movement wonders why nobody seems to care? We've been berated and guilted with this shit for decades. We are all concerned, but most us are running the hamster wheel, working the wage slave gig, hoping like hell to be able to send our kids to college and scrap together enough money we'll be able to relax a little before we die. So I'm not really surprised when people get a little tired of hearing this shit and make up excuses why not to believe it. You're preaching to the wrong people. Take it to congress, to industry, and to other world leaders... leave us alone.
Well YOU won't do anything, that's clear. If you had the knowledge required you'd know that strong enough encryption already exists. Run something through even a 1024 bit cipher a couple times and it becomes pretty damn impossible to crack without known vulnerabilities or super computers. The problem phones face is that touch screen phones are difficult to secure with complex passwords. This means user passwords are incredibly vulnerable to brute force. There's really nothing that can be done about this beyond storing encryption keys outside the device, which trust me, you don't want. You think the FBI is evil? You don't want to give control and power to for profit companies - especially tech companies that naturally gravitate to oligopoloies. Apple will store all your encryption keys in the cloud probably by September (iPhone 7) and their campaign of fear will be complete. Wait, you didn't really think they were on your side did you? That's adorable.
It will never happen within the current way things are done. Telecoms still own the backbone on which the internet operates, which Netflix relies on. I have friends that work for telecoms. The management calls people that drop cable "cord cutters" and they have a simple plan: raise internet rates as required to offset the revenue loss from them. They aren't even secret about it. So until you see much overdue telecom reform in the US/Canada (I'm not going to pretend to know the state of things in Europe), you'll never see major telecoms lose any meaningful power or control.
What happened to the days of highly functional web interfaces?
Hipsters. More accurately their "I know what's good for you better than you do" mentality. Pioneered with great success by Apple Inc - just look at their stock price. Unfortunately you and I are the minority. It's a shame too, my lawn was so beautiful once.
Bernie's problem is that he's gone on camera so many times saying he's a democratic socialist, that he has to keep running with it. I'm sure he would prefer to drop the whole idea, especially considering (this article is case and point) that the general public really is confused about what all these terms mean. So what he's doing here is trying to scare someone that, presumably, is having some success selling these tshirts that intentionally misrepresent his position. Is this smart? Without knowing the exact situation all can say is probably not. Best case scenario, the guy backs down and closes the doors - most likely he just removes the logo and uses the cease and desist for marketing to sell more shirts - and worst case they are forced to take this to court during an election. I would make some changes in my campaign staff over this one.
Considering that nessie is supposed to be a plesiosaurs, of which we have skeletal evidence, you certainly could create a replica that would satisfy your pedantic definition.
You sound desperate to justify Apple purchases. Either that or your completely incompetent. This is slashdot. Much of community manages this stuff for a living. Getting a decade out of pc is not unusual, even on Windows. If you can accomplish your needs outside of Windows it's even longer - often decades. The hardware/software your bank uses every time you use an atm can attest to that. While crapbooks might have a similar hardware lifecycle (it's all the same shit) their software support cycle is certainly shorter. This is just fact.
Slashdot Mirror
I think as soon as you start "hacking" for law enforcement the color of your hat changes. Isn't that the entire definition?

Save your breath. People that have been fooled into paying 20% more than they need to are always desperate to post-purchase rationalize.

Wow... so people like you do exist... fascinating. That was a quicker decline into utter retardation than even the most pessimistic predicted.
