I'm not an advocate of gun control (I don't have an ethical stance aside from the constitution, and I'm not a gun owner, but want the Constitution to be honored ), but the argument is generally that crimes of passion are more likely with guns involved (I actually believe this to be true, but irrelevant ), and that bystanders are a lot less likely to be killed by a knifing ( again true, but irrelevant).
I simply trying to point out the "in a moment" part isn't addressed by killers will kill.
I suspect it's still in relative costs cheaper than getting one over here in America ( I don't know what an artificial limb of that quality would cost here, but I suspect more than 10k assuming something quality equivalent is available, in reality I suspect it'd be higher quality and much more expensive than 10k).
I'm saying I can use the contextual clues of GPs post. You may not be a native speaker, but in English (in the US at least), computer can have multiple meanings (much like PC), I can tell from the contrast of "computer" vs "tablet" what GP meant, and responded in consistant language.
What makes you think the electorate will be informed properly about privacy stances of any canditade?
Remember, Obama was anti telecom immunitity explicitly, and anti exactly what's going on implicitly. What's to make you think the next batch of candidates will be any more honest?
Yes, the apps thing is terrible. The skip part is small. And often non functional (trulia when I was house shopping).
I even had the god damned app, but if someone texted me a trulia link I couldn't go there. Zillows mobile site sucked. So it pretty much was a bunch of suck. But if trulia just took me to the site, it would have been awesome, and I probably would of used it over zillow (which had a better desktop experience).
I want to be able to message a link to my friend, and have then see it on a computer, or a tablet, and ffs trulia, even when I had the app, I couldn't get a link to your site to work on my phone. I'd have to pull out the property I'd from the URL, and paste it into a search on the app.
Yeah, the article (well the summary anyway) is pretty stupid.
The main snapchat users aren't at all concerned about NSA. It's about lack of evidence for family, protection from revenge porn, and primarily (for me anyway), the feel of a conversation. It's simply more fun to squeeze in a short message with a goofy face, rather than a text. The short life of the snap makes it feel more, something intangible, and perhaps based on my own forms of crazy, but I think the creators were onto something when it feels better/specialer to send something that then is gone.
As I'm not a child, I'm not really up to no good on it, so I don't really benifit from the evidence destruction aspect, but people do some crazy things when they feel wronged, and not having a huge backlog of blackmail to do something with that everyone will likely regret in the end when cooler heads prevail is a perk for all conversations I think. I generally use google chat with history off, except for work where I may want to reference it.
I suppose, if snapchat isn't completely compromised, and uses HTTPS, then it is less interceptable than a phone call, as you point out, the phone network is totally compromised. I suppose it's less obvious than using PGP on email, if we assume encryption makes us targets, but even so, I wouldn't think it's the way to communicate if you want to avoid surveillance (presumably they'll mirror your snaps with a warrant).
No, I don't think snapchat is about protecting from the NSA (the article is stupid), nor is it really about protecting from malicious actors (as they say, it's not perfect).
It's about having conversations with friends that disappear when everyone is behaving. It's about not having a record of everything said for the last however long there forever. In a fit of anger, the messages are gone. In that regard it is like a phone call, but not a text. It's about having a conversation, then it's gone.
I personally like it, and hope that they find a non-obnoxious way to monetize (I'd go for it being a few bucks a year or something, especially if it was just a dial an SMS number and it gets tacked to your bill, but I assume that would kill it for most).
I assume that most snapchats and voice calls are not recorded if someone is not a POI, but that's primarily because I think that the NSA is smart enough to not want too big a haystack to find the needles, which may be a terrible assumption.
Phonecalls are generally ephemeral, as are snaps chats, SMS and Facebook statuses are generally not.
Towards the end of the BB peek it was a middle and lower level thing ("Slave Pager"), higher level employees would brag about not needing them, because stuff was covered. They didn't need to be always connected, then iPhone came, and people wanted them, because you could goof off on them AND get e-mail.
I think it has to do with X specifications, they have different names and stuff.
FWIW,I want to be able to select, Ctrl+X then select somewhere else and Ctrl+V to kill what I've selected (for example copy and paste a URL into and address bar), so selecting editable text should not place into the copy buffer IMO.

Can users of gpl software be sued? I thought only distributers ( I guess with web apps thats murkey though)
Real close, my girlfriend is just an arm and a hand.

I do a lot more stuff on my computer today that software from 15-20 years ago is incapable of doing at all.
Good luck killing me from across the room in a moment without a gun (a wide stance and a long spear get there too though).
Things are far worse for it too.
I thought Google cut a patent deal for their codec.
My grandfather (a geologist fwiw), warned during the oil crisis of the 70s that the next major war was actually going to be over water in the 2100s.

Could you say that about computers so firmly in 2008?
Tablets are replacing a large percentage of computers. My household has 50% the computers it had back then.
It's coming to the non fruit world too:

My biggest issue was wave was the real time aspect. I do t want my draft replies to be visible as I type them.
Also, gmail search didn't hit it, which was a pain, but I'll assume beta related.
In concept, easy to make multi-featured discussion boards was great I thought.

No, when it says a comment was filtered inline, I was to be able to tap it and have it load with ajax goodness (like the desktop site now).
I browse at zero, buy sometimes there's a negative one I want to read based on the replies.
I can't figure out how to display comments that are filtered due to low mod on the mobile site.

(Posting anon since I've already moderated in this thread)
1) why do people think that escaping the rules is good for a functional system?
2) if you did it with the checkbox, your mod was erased anyway.
I've found that in most situations a good gloss screen is preferable (by me).
What kills me is the glossy bevel, the screen, with its back-light is fine, but the 1 inch black border reflects like a mirror.
It's more ephemeral than an SMS etc.
It doesn't replace phone calls, it replaces texting, and status updates.
No way, for crisp, high contrast text on normal sized sheets you want 600dpi.
For billboards it can be far lower (as sibling mentions).
Where did PHBs covet them?
