So, I have blue tape on my walls in the locations that i expect to put up some pictures. I've already moved them twice, so i saved some holes in the wall.
Before i put in an ikea wardrobe, we didn't know if it would fit the room. I had a blue tape outline on the wall, didn't help as much as i wanted. I made a blue tape wireframe, and we felt it matched the room. We then did the same for another wardrobe in the den - a blue tape wireframe.
Brazil is already sub replacement rate. It's population will dwindle. I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Life is unfair. You can basically say most of what you were trolling about about most places in the world. You can do pretty much two things: give up and nobody have kids, or you can try to be a part of the solution. Evidently your reaction to most problems would be "just give up"
My friend is a lawyer. A few years back (and Watson yet wasn't out as a product yet) he told me about the volunteer organization he was working with. Seems there's a glut of lawyers, and there are a lot that need to do volunteer work just to be doing something. There's competition to use your expensive law degree for free.
My last post, since we're talking past each other.
Your WinXP example is a bit off. You're saying that WinXP APIs are stable. But you're saying that Apps can target new APIs. It's a new OS, so your comparison should be "XP APIs are stable, but these apps are targetting Vista APIs". In that case, you shouldn't be surprised if apps running on Vista can run on the XP apis, but if you target Vista APIs then you can't run on XP. You seem to be saying "forget Vista, perpetually target XP, even when 7, 8, and 10 come out". So, apple is supposed to release new hardware, but not have any OS APIs to support it? Or just release the 4s in perpetuity, with iOS7?
Phones are too new to keep to "XP" whatever that stable version should be. Some like iOS6 as their "XP", some like iOS7. I have a 5s and it runs 9 fine. I don't want to go back to 7 - no sharing. So, Apple could target 6, 7, or 9 (no one likes 8), and piss off the other folks.
In case you don't want to click, it's a chart of percentage of in use android phones with a known vulnerability. And it's real bad for android.
Evidently people like the android model where a text message can pwn you... and you can't do anything about it because your update needs to go through your carrier and your manufacturer who both have incentives to make you buy a new phone.
I'll be shocked as hell if a) they get the source code and b) anyone understands it. It's typical in these cases to NOT get technically proficient jurors. All the better for the lawyers and their experts to mold their opinion.
My guess is you don't have a 4s. I've used one with iOS9. you give up a lot of animations and eye candy to make things faster. You just can't get past that the A5 is 4 generations old compared to the A9 in the 6s.
I don't get it, apple could have easily released NOTHING for iPhone 4s. They didn't release nothing. They released a special build of their software at least somewhat optimized for the fact you've got 4 year old hardware and a chipset thats several times slower than new phones. There's also no forced upgrade. Yeah, you'll get annoyed to update, but apple didn't force you to update. So, i don't know how "releasing a modern OS for an underpowered CPU" would force more people to give up their old phones than Apple saying "no update for you"
Apple's business model is to keep as many old phones around as they can. One, they get cash from services - iTunes, Music, App store, iCloud, etc. Two, and i rarely hear this discussed, it solves problems with cheap android phones. An iPhone 5 is their cheap iPhone. A 4s is their cheap iPhone. You pass it down, they can run iOS and buy some tracks, but surely they like the new camera on the 6s.
Important enough for a callout: It's in Apple's best financial interest for old iPhones to be somewhat useful. Planned obsolescence hurts them more than it helps them
Apple is not able to speed up your CPU with a software upgrade. I don't remember reading my warranty and Apple guaranteeing speed for the next 5 years. Maybe I missed that clause.
Jokes aside, even after all these years, i don't think people think of Android phones and iPhones as computers that happen to make phone calls. You have a hybrid microkernel/UNIX machine perpetually exposed to everyone on the Internet. You need to update. You need to keep it secure. Maybe users would like iOS 7 and receive security updates forever, but what about when their apps get rooted because they haven't been updated?
There really isn't a way to have Apple win here.
If they don't update the OS, people bitch about planned obsolescence.
If they update the OS but just for security updates, people bitch that they're missing features. And their phone gets pwn3d because they're running an old Facebook app with holes, or they jailbreak to get that new feature that iOS9 has and don't want to upgrade for.
If they do a full OS update they complain that their 4 year old phone can't run the newest OS.
Remember this is the company that got sued because they gave everybody (an admittedly bad) free album. Having deep pockets sucks some times.
Hmm, tell Linus that about a kernel bug... that "well this bug will only kernel panic in a very specific set of circumstances" and watch the flame war commence.
A bug is a bug. You have a trivial to exploit root hole in a common configuration of an OS. Deal with it at that level.
A real filmmaker would have made his own film, not just remade someone else's.
For the original 3, Lucas took elements from Japanese samurai films (look at any samurai helmet and compare with Vader's - lucas was also a big Kurosawa fan) war films (han and luke shooting laser cannons at Tie fighters from the Falcon was taken largely from WWII films) swashbucklers (does a light saber need to be any more obvious? oh and grappling hooks and flying across the chasm).
If you're gonna be upset about Episode 7 being too derivative, might as well shit can the whole series.
Star Trek started as humanism shot with a space backdrop to actually sell. Contrast the Khan tOS episode vs the reboot movie, where in the reboot we see them shot into space and when Khan is upset, we use him for experimentation without consent. Forgetting the fact that the additions in that movie make most of Starfleet superfluous.
Or the great episode where Kirk battles the Romulans (and no money for good sets) with humanism and chess-like strategy on both sides. In the reboot "kill 'em all"
And lest we forget the tOS battle within the alien race, with one half white on the left side and black on the right, and half black on the left side and white on the right. Instead we get Justin Lin and "I bet it blows up real good". Justin is good for what he is, but what he is isn't a humanist director for a serial that cries out for one.
His family asked for privacy. People are trying to give it to them.
That said, there's a The Register Article that implies some erratic mental state. All the more reason to not pry and not guess. They're having a very hard time. Our best tribute to what Ian has done is not to make his family worse off.
Besides the obvious security issues, mail isn't as static as you think.
Think about the iterations that Apple's Mail.app had to do to deal with how Google deal with tags... where a tagged mail could be in multiple Folders, and the All Mail tag. What if GMail adds something else? They already did things with Inbox that change how tags are used.

Glad they only use surveillance to get terrorists. Lipid terrorism here
(rimshot)
Just remember that Intel tried to trademark I, and both Zilog and Datsun/Nissan tried to trademark Z.
And just try to have anything pink and health related now...
There was an Internet Explorer before MS IE.
So, Microsoft trying to say Internet Explorer was generic, yet Windows is specific....
Musta paid a lot to their lawyers
no, but that's sooooooo cool.
Pay my wife? She'd love it....

I guess nobody but me remembers that movie.. yeah, it was horrible
DUCK
I'll show myself out, thanks.

Again, Apple can't win.
It's not so much carrier but carrier tech. CDMA doesn't allow calls and data at the same time. GSM does.

That 30 is more than double 15. If you're thinking area, it's a simple 4x addition, no need to be vague about "more than double"
Or is it double-plus far?

They Audit your NAS to find all its secrets... then use them against it if it ever leaves the "church"
