Did you know, Charles Perrault's family, etc. all, have not received a cent of royalties from the Disney corporation for their copying of their stories.
Well, yeah. That's how these companies work, they take everything in and give nothing out.
I'm supposed to Beta test Windows OSes at work to find out if our own apps and development environments will be affected. Telling me to "just not use it then" is rediculous. I HAVE to be a Beta tester, and I don't have time or will to play games with Microsoft over what THEY think I need to be doing to help them.
But I bet you want any problems that arise fixed in the next patch.
All the while claiming to be the religion of "peace".
Oh, please, do fuck off. Remember the Inquisition? Burning at stake? Killing of the unbelivers?
It's standard practice for any religion: you're either with us or you're next on the list.
..possibly Sikhs, Zorastrians, Mandeans, Hindus, and Buddhists.
Sikhs: nope..friction between Sikhism and Islam has rumbled along merrily for centuries (one Muslim student described Sikhism to me as a 'piss take of Islam', general consensus of the Sikhs I knew was 'the only good Muslim was a dead one'..)
Hindus: not.a.bloody.chance. There was a general disdain of Hindu students by the Muslim students, this became outright open hostility towards Hindus on occasion by Pakistani and Central-North African Muslims (I had to break up fights).
Zorastrians: Tricky one this, I knew several Zorastrians, but they kept themselves to themselves, so cannot comment on their interactions with the Muslim students (other than to point out again that they made themselves inconspicuous)
Buddhists: See, the funny thing about not believing in any God as far as Islam is concerned is...The Muslim attitude I experienced ranged from total indifference from the liberals through to they're Kafir, kill with fire from the usual nutters.

If his model says that Earth should not exist, then there's something wrong with his model.
Also, considering how life thrives even in hostile environments here on Earth, it's simply a mathematical impossibility that there are no other planets in the universe capable of supporting some kind of life.
Plus, didn't Mars used to be earth like way back when? So that would make 2.
Look, I'm not going to take sides between you and Jhon on whether God is a dick or not.
But Jhon is right about what "a human perspective" means. It distinguishes a perspective from a non-human perspective. Your attempt to make it mean one of a plural of human perspectives is just back-pedaling.
Kid cancer aside, are you saying the the flood wouldn't be seen as a dick move by all of humanity? Or killing all the first born? Or any of his other massive atrocities?
A reasonable God would communicate with men in terms they understood. "King" and "Lordship" were the terms humans used to relate to each other for a long time until recently.
"Yeah! God loves you so much that he'll torture forever if you don't love him back."
A lot of people like that trope you just keyed and repeat it quote often. The problem is that it misrepresents Christianity completely. In Christianity, one does not "love" God like one "loves" a person -- or a dog -- or a sandwich. It's not the same thing.
Good for you, realizing you're talking out of your ass. How do you think electronic medical records get updated, exactly? God forbid we try and track a patient long term, especially those with complex medical issues.
So what, no one got sick before networks and if they did they were proper fucked. Is that what you're saying? And why do they need to be exposed to the wider internet anyway?
Sure, but you realise how big the place is, and also how small our population is? We are a first world country with super high standards of living and a population density that is a fraction of your cities - none of which compare in liability in my opinion (and I actually loved living in NYC).
Yeah but you pay over the odds for absolutely everything. Stuff in Australia seems to cost up to double what it does elsewhere and your gov seem especially fond of fucking you all over enough to put other governments to shame.
I was under the impression that apple QA was 1) Does it do something we do? and 2) Is it pretty enough?. Arguably the first clause should've got this one but if its disguised a bit or in Chinese then no wonder it got past them.
But now that she has been fired, she can give Yelp bad Yelp.
She can start a site reviewing different companies, become a millionaire from it, then pay her own customer services crap all and the cycle is complete.
Even with your, translation or interpretation or whatever of the lines it still doesn't make much sense. It's just a bunch of clever or witty sounding lines with barely any connection strung together. I get there's a kind of overall theme but is it actually trying to say anything more?
The other great part about this is... its because people are cheaping out on a repair for a $650+ device. People are idiots. Buy a cheap repair, you deserve your phone bricked for stupidity.
You are travelling and in some 3rd world location.
The third world contry with enough power points to keep your phone charged all the time while travelling and has a bunch of iphone repair shops all over the place.
It would be nice if he (and CEOs of other major tech firms) stated specific opposition to it.
Why? He works for his own interest, not yours. His interest and your interest rarely (if ever) coincide. It's naive to think otherwise. The best way to deal with any corporation (and the hollowed out people who occupy "executive" positions) is to treat them as you would treat a psychopath: with profound distrust.
He wants people to use his companies products, if people don't trust them they won't. There are planty of contenders who would love to see google fall to take their place. Hell, maybe bing might even get a shot/snigger.

Venus is really not that far off either. It just needed a slightly different orbit. (And a molten core, I guess.)
And a Moon, and an Ocean.
Does it need a Moon? Ok, tides but is that a deal breaker?

As a jew, I really must disagree.
Oh, must jew?

Until around the time god stopped talking?

Well, that sure is convenient.
This word is used twice this way in the summary. What does it mean to "pop" a dispensary or patient monitor?
As in popped it's cherry? That's all I can think.

Why would you even bother posting if you havent even read the article?
These things have articles?
I want security, but if access to the data on the phone could potentially save lives, that seems pretty important too.
How about by decryption you could potentially cost lives. How does that balance?
The latest round of haribo ads are pretty good.

If it's the former, then Apple should get it done, then destroy the tools and cal it a day.
How can you fully ensure that software tools are destroyed & never copied?
Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit?
I was under the impression that apple QA was 1) Does it do something we do? and 2) Is it pretty enough?. Arguably the first clause should've got this one but if its disguised a bit or in Chinese then no wonder it got past them.
If the user has no control over the data being sent, can't stop it, and can't even see what is being sent WTF do you expect us to call it, cotton candy?
Sorry Charlie but there is only one other kind of software that displays the same behavior, and that is malware.
You know what the mal in malware means, right?
Spyware maybe, malware, no.
