I've never heard of a FAB losing production due to a power loss
I have never heard of an industry that has not at some point lost production due to a power loss. I'm going to assume you spend too much time living in a cage.
Meow-Meow is "ahead of the law," his lawyer Nicholas Broadbent told the ruling Magistrate
Ultimately this was an exercise in stupidity. He was charged for defacing and not having a valid ticket. And his defence was that he was ahead of the law because the law didn't take into account that someone may be able to cut up the ticket and still pay for the transport.
It is a very strange way to try and defend yourself.
No thanks. Australia has far less frivolous lawsuits thanks to the way our courts are paid for.
Paying a penalty for daring to defend yourself isn't in the interests of justice
Paying a penalty for someone else daring to take you on isn't in the interest of justice. He didn't pay a penalty for daring to defend himself, he paid a penalty for being stupid. His arguments in court were that he is not guilty because the law itself is wrong. He didn't even try and defend himself against the breach of the law he was being charged against.
The German security service supposedly identified somebody's grandmother as a terrorist, and stopped the experiment abruptly.
Clearly you haven't flown in an out of Germany... or any non US city for that matter. This is no more a problem than standard human checks and is resolved in exactly the same way.
Note a friend of mine entered and exited China on his brother's passport. They all look the same jokes aside, they really look nothing alike.
The human who looked at me and compared my face to the photo has forgotten my face about a minute after processing me and no permanent record was made of it.
Then you weren't paying attention to what he did with your passport while you were busy looking at his face.
Russians must be laughing their asses off at the Americans. During Soviet times, bet they didn't think that the US would move towards a system just like theirs or East Germany's, where you needed permission to leave the country.
Please show me airport taking an international flight where your passport is not checked on exit. Schengen zone excepted of course.
Seriously I'm struggling with this concept. Exit checks have been part of flying since flying existed. Errr. actually since passports existed. These cameras are also in airports all over the world and I actually think the USA are among the last to get them.
To the end user, yes. To a company that used to pride itself on its own excellence, displaying the bug proudly in an expensive and otherwise carefully produced advert the bug is not only significant, it's a sign of a completely changing culture shift in Apple.
We used to not have these kind of bugs. The UI was the most polished part of the whole OS. Now not only do we have what seems like an endless stream of them, but they will proudly advertise them. THAT is newsworthy.
If this was the Apple of old, someone would be trying to find a new job right now.
Every Orange Pi performs better than Raspberry Pi when it comes to storage and networking.
Maybe you should spend less time benchmarking and more time re-reading what I wrote. But by all means you can keep doubling down with the exact opposite of the point I was making.
Again, only a few autistic people talk about it. The vast majority of the "discussion" around this is either mocking, dismissing or questioning about who would ever read it.
Nearly all people don't read licenses, few people including developers using the license have read the GPL, and even fewer people even register the existence of warranty files even when they are separate from the EULA.
You can call me wrong all you like, but keep looking for that mythical end user whose actually read that legal documents that come with software. Most users can't even read a fucking warning message asking them to perview their post for speling mistakes before posting.
Side note, as I mentioned in another thread there's a very good reason he won't find a product he's looking for: Why would someone bother developing a product which is potentially expensive, and where 99.99% of your potential users would just ignore it and either use their existing Smart TV features or buy a Chromecast, or FireTV, or AppleTV, or any of the other devices that serve as a DNLA endpoint.
Seriously right now on my network I have 5 possible ways to push content to my TV. My TV, Bluray player, and media centre both act as a DNLA endpoint, the Chromecast can be casted too, and I also have the ability to Miracast to two of the devices.
There is a rounding error close to zero market for this.
I've seen a lot of Microsoft apologist posts coming from you recently
Then you're not paying attention. I am an equal opportunity disagreer of stupid posts on Slashdot. Microsoft is not special in any regard.
if it's not OS kernel patching by third parties
3rd parties don't patch the windows kernel. What plenty of third parties do is use both documented and undocumented APIs to elevate their software access to the point where they access the kernel memory space. Kind of the only way to really discover and protect against rootkits. One of these methods is incompatible with the solution to Spectre.
If you thought anyone was "patching" then pretty much every minor windows update would break the software. Interestingly you know what does patch OS kernels? Some open source software.
Not too sensible, but too narrow sighted. Most Slashdot users are able to think beyond what is right in front of their nose, and the "user pays" system is a frigging horrible way to charge for public infrastructure that benefits people beyond its core users.
Not to mention the natural extension of this would be to reduce axle weight (4th power law is really bad here), increasing the number of vehicles on the road, increasing CO2 emissions, and generally screwing over not only all the road users but anyone who breathes the air too.
Then you're taxing the object that directly does the damage.
The user pays system is a horrible way of assigning funds to general infrastructure which benefits everyone. You can see this quite directly in the disaster known as "toll roads".
Why can't I find a simple view in Android of what apps have accessed permissions and when?
For the same reason the Subway queue is so long: people are overwhelmed with choice. Look you sound like you want to run a full blown Linux complete with terminal on your phone. But really this level of detail should not be exposed to the average user. The only thing you'll get is frothing at the mouth and outrage as people miss-read, miss-interpret and otherwise try to draw huge conspiracies from things they don't understand.
There's a reason these devices are so popular, and simplicity is a key component of that.
not to mention the fact that submitting to the appstore requires 10x more effort because there are actual standards, code review, and testing to enforce.
Lol that's a good one. You use that in your stand-up routine often? No sorry I jest. There are standards. The standard is that Apple will only accept software that doesn't immediately threaten their bottom line, whereas Google seems comfortable to let those slip through.
But is Android safe from Google? Spyware is spyware.
So? I don't need it to be safe from Google. They have shown to be trustworthy with my data. Google has yet to ransomware me, max out my credit card, steal my identity or do anything else with the ludicrous amount of data they have on me other than serve me ads.
Given the ridiculously short amount of time Android devices get updates
What kind of updates? Most phones get security updates just fine and for quite a long period of time. Combine that with the very few exploits that actually abuse any security bugs instead focusing mostly on the previously primitive permissions system of the past, I fail to see how that's even relevant.
VoIP telephone service attempts to contact emergency medical, fire, or police services
Same thing that happens any other day when the internet is working perfectly. They will die. There's a reason VoIP providers have a disclaimer about this. By the way with nearly 2/3rds of the population having a mobile phone and the vast majority of those users represented in a major city I find it hard to visualise a scenario where someone would not only be stupid enough to, but even would instinctively consider using some internet connection to call for help rather than just whipping out their phone.
like say, a terror attack, no one will know until the day after
And? If there is a terror attack I either won't care if I hear about it in the news later that night, or I would want it to come through so frigging urgently that the internet is well and truly the wrong avenue for distributing that information.
Maybe if people stop expecting that they have a right to privacy when out in public they can stop getting angry when someone sees them. Seriously google creepshot. If the resulting photo of normally fully dressed women viewed from public and obvious places annoys you then maybe you are part of the problem. If finding a picture of yourself pointing your g-string in the direction of a camera through skin tight leggings which are about 4 sizes too small disturbs you, maybe you shouldn't dress that way in public if you don't want people to see you that way.

Then explain why ram has increased 200% and GPUs 500%?
Basic supply and demand.
Cases and power supplies keep going
They are also doing wonders meeting new efficiency regulations. Give me a current PSU over an older one any day.
2015 gets you a much better PC then ,2018
It really doesn't. It'll only get you a better GPU and a smidgen more RAM. The PC itself is far better in 2018.
I've never heard of a FAB losing production due to a power loss
I have never heard of an industry that has not at some point lost production due to a power loss. I'm going to assume you spend too much time living in a cage.
Is the most interesting part!
Same way you refuse any other industrial power purchasing contract: don't sign.

Nope -- courts should be tax-supported.

No, only a $220 fine. He then took it to court. In Australia there is a loser pays system and he had to pay the $1000 court costs.

the most minor of UI bugs, so insignificant
To the end user, yes. To a company that used to pride itself on its own excellence, displaying the bug proudly in an expensive and otherwise carefully produced advert the bug is not only significant, it's a sign of a completely changing culture shift in Apple.

Women wearing skirts are the norm....are you denying that
If you don't know how logic or language works then yes, I'm denying that. Or you could re-read what I said and try to make sense of English.
where you live
Where I live has nothing to do with the location I specified : Internet.
Do you even English man?
Every Orange Pi performs better than Raspberry Pi when it comes to storage and networking.

What dumb TV comes with USB ports?

Maybe Lennart Poettering refused to give him a reach-around?
Nah man, I can't get it up right now on account of just finishing up on your mama's* face.
