This is why I dislike this sort of ruling, that appears bold but is nothing of the sort.
The judge didn't order something to happen. Instead the ruling just reads like a statement of fact. "These poor people are being deprived of their rights".
Every shrugs and carries on. A proper ruling would put someone on the hook for implementing a change. One more person stopped from flying without knowing they're on the list and the A.G. goes to prison.
You appear full of FUD. I've never had to preventatively re-index in my life.
Name one of the better solutions. Amongst the wrong answers would be
1) Postgresql. Permissions management is a pig compared to MySQL
2) Oracle. It costs a lot of money
3) Microsoft Access. My POS runs on Linux.
When the judge issues an arrest warrant for someone preventing someone boarding an airplane due to being on a no fly list, I'll believe it will make a difference.
We have a yarn store. When we started it about three years ago, the problem was nobody knew we existed.
We got measurable and worthwhile returns from Facebook advertising. We got diddly squat measurable returns after giving money to Google. We advertised in the local paper. It's not obvious that the people it brought in covered or will cover the cost of advertising. We participated in a local yarn store community event (http://www.rosecityyarncrawl.com/) and have had 2X the business ever since.
There are people who want what you've got to sell. If you can connect with them in a way that is not obnoxious, then it'll succeed.
The UI is just another UI. I couldn't give a crap about the UI.
But its unix underneath, the 2560x1600 resolution is excellent. The keyboard is acceptable. I can type into bash shells as if it were Linux. I can ssh and scp as if it were linux. I can write and compile code on it as if it were linux. The python Point of Sale front end that I wrote for my wife's store, that runs on Linux, also ran first time on the macbook.
My experience is that $4K work laptops were a little better, but still crap out in the end. The days of the $4K laptop seem to be over. $2.5K seems to be tops.
The difference between $1K and $2.5K for something I'm going to use to make a living for 2-4 years is immaterial to me. I do want it to work though.
I've got an Apple 2e that's still going strong. I replaced the floppies with a CFFA3000 and I had to take the monitor to the TV repair guy when it let out the magic smoke. I don't carry it to the office at all.
I'm saying that all the non apple laptops in my household failed in some way related to crappy construction. It's entirely possible to build a reliable laptop outside of Apple. It just doesn't seem common.
The thing that looks right about the construction of the current Mac books is that the monolithic aluminium case doesn't have any flappy bits to fall off. Why other manufacturers do not do something similar is beyond me.
I forgot to mention a Sony laptop. That also failed. The bottom panel came off, the disk failed and the CD drive failed. So I can't install linux on it because the CD isn't working and it won't boot linux from a flash drive, presumably because of something stupid Sony did. So it's dead and I'm not putting any more work into it..
To be fair, an older Mac book pro suffered badly when my wife dropped it. It was heavy and so crushed its own corner when it landed. The air just got a little dent in the corner when she dropped it. I don't drop my laptops, so it's not a fair comparison.
But since then I decided we would only get Mac books (since the Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge/Haswell genre) and screw the cost. The improvement in reliability is very apparent, and the TCO is probably lower because they last longer.
If "every Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba, and HP" simply fell apart, it would probably be nationwide news.
But it's not, because you're a liar.
Do you enjoy telling untruths that you can't possibly be sure about? You are of course wrong.
1) Asus: My daughter's chomebook. The power connector failed after 6 months. 2) Lenovo: One with the screen you can turn around. The keyboard failed. Half the keys don't work. The battery became unusable over the same time frame. 3) Toshiba: Generic laptop. It did literally fall apart. Things - panel covers, hole covers, keyboard buttons just gave up and fell off. 4) HP: A work laptop. Battery connection became unreliable, causing the machine to power off randomly.
5) Mac book air. Still working fine. 6) Mac book pro. Still working fine.

Try it and see.
My taxes are $10/month?
Do not say that name. It exists only on my drive home and at no other time or place in the universe.
So he's saying Aereo gets a special, more stringent law applied to them, but everyone else benefits from what the courts said previously?

First off, we do have Streisand effect, I never heard of this guy until today.
That would imply the opposite, then. People had heard of Barbara Streisand.
But not her beach house.
Beware! Write your stream encryptor in a lydian mode and the PHB will come back and ask for it in phrygrian.

You win.
OK, But the GGGPA was talking about Macbooks, not phones or tablets.
Not that bitching about phone and tablet interfaces isn't totally legitimate, it just doesn't seem to flow from the earlier post.
He means a person, not a computer program.
This is the organizational bloat that kills industry. Everyone wants a person to be employed to scratch their itch for them.
I always insert random apostophe's in order to amuse the Slashdot apostronaughts.
I presume Apple holds the keys. I may be wrong.
Evidently my jokes are a little too subtle for Slashdot.
At least someone though it was funny.
Parking spots are the means of production?
I don't think so.

Not anecdotal at all. Direct experience. Actual data. Learn what anecdotal means.

In terms of reliability, yes.

The Macbooks run MacOS, not IOS.
