All I said was "These are the guys who think Bluetooth is just for syncing with your computer." That's the full post. Ok, so they can sync with a bunch of other shit and transfer files among themselves and there's a bunch of different profiles that only really present issues if you try to cross apple with non apple or use a lot of bluetooth. I've learned that. What was it about that original statement that provoked such anger about not being intricately familiar with Bluetooth technology? Because it was definitely more anti apple than Bluetooth. If the post was about the video capabilities on a mac and I mentioned they don't support.avi by default and.mov is a pain in the ass to work with on a pc would you go off on one about codec design and how I just need to understand quicktime better?
If you continue to try and disaccosiate the lablel "stealing" because of the implication that its something that everyone agrees is wrong, I'm not going to believe that your motives have nothing to do with the fact that they are availible without charge.
It really looks like you are trying to say " Even though its illegal, and I'm doing it to get free stuff, don't think bad of me because I don't like thinking of myself as someone who does bad things". Its got all of the logic and reasoning of a three year old.
People try to disassociate pirating from stealing because stealing is set thing where you, without permission take things that belong to other people and keep them for yourself. Which is not what pirating is. Pirating is copyright infringement, so call it that instead of something that's almost kinda but not really like it but sounds much worse. Even a three year old could tell the difference between taking something and making a copy.

Because your e-mail loads equally fast doesn't mean mine does (I have 10k+ messages in my inbox). Because you use your phone for simple games, doesn't mean I don't use it for viewing 3D brain scans.
You sound exactly like the average user the article is talking about.
Tenure is competitive enough that simple accusations or slurs can be enough to sink a person. While it would be nice if solid research and objectivity were the only elements involved, there is a huge human factor which is distressingly easy to swing.
I thought tenure meant you had that job for life and you had to really fuck up to lose it? Almost as hard to get as to lose.
Eh I guess you can sue anyone for anything in 'merica
Is losing a $350,000 job offer something you consider trivial? The scientist and his lawyer suspect foul play by anonymous person(s) who allegedly defamed him by posting ad hominem attacks in their pubpeer comments and then distributed those comment pages to both universities associated with him.
Any criticism of his work should be valid and fact based and that should be enforced by the site's moderators. Still, anonymity is important when criticizing someone and they should not use this as an excuse to force critics to reveal their identities.
Not being familiar with the subject, does his work hold up? If so any comments should be discarded, especially a place such as a university should be intellectually above paying attention to ad homien. If not then that's what you get for putting sub par or wrong things on line. It's just going to get ripped apart, especially on a site that invites it.
Get off your high horse mate. Well done you, you know all about Bluetooth. I freely admitted I hardly use it, what I said was everytime I've had a problem with it it's been with an apple device. Seems to be that outside of the apple garden it works fine, inside it works fine but try to mix them and it all falls down as usual. Try reading the comments properly instead of getting all uppity. I never said all that stuff was the same, It was a sarcastic dig as you seem to be offended that I can think bt on apple sucks even though I don't know everything there is to know about apple or Bluetooth, you just didn't understand it, but don't let that get in your way. Personally I appreciate the irony.
Ride on you brave Slashdot warrior, and defend your apple gods. I feel you are more offended at the notion that they are shit and couldn't care less about the Bluetooth ignorance.
You can't say adding to the cost is an issue when idevices are considerably more expensive than a load of other devices which do have one. It's a thing so it obviously has a cost, but the cost would be negligible and wouldn't affect the end price.
Seeing as you don't have one this is how it works. You put in the biggest SD card you have. Music, videos photos etc all get saved to that. All your apps install to the phone. You don't get the option to install to SD off the store and all the phones are at least 8/16gb anyway and you don't need the double space thing. You can probably do it but that's an advanced user thing. No one has a bunch of sd cards with a few apps on this one, some songs on that one constantly rotating one. You use it to cheaply expand the storage so you can use it as music/video player. If you're happy steaming everything all the time then more power to you but personally I'm not and if I don't have to carry a separate mp3 player then I'm happy
So, much for just working eh? I've never had any problems bluetoothing anything to anything unless it's an idevice. Even my old motorola v525 never had any problem transferring stuff to anything I tried to transfer to. Maybe I've just got lucky that everyone I've tried has been compatible. Admittedly I bluetooth rarely but it's yet another thing where it seems apple only wants to work with apple. But before I go on let me go learn all about bluetooth profiles and chip design and different storage and ram types and battery technology and the plethora of other things that go into everyday devices before I'm allowed to have an opinion on them.
Well maybe you could explain the procedure to me? I just tried sending a image from my phone to an ipad. They could see each other thought Bluetooth well enough, Paired them and everything but every time I try to send the file it says not sent and fails. Is there something special I have to do to make it work or is another of those things that works perfectly fine if everything is apple but take one step outside the edge of that garden and you can forget it.
Fair enough. I don't personally care to store my photos etc on an SD card but to each their own. I'd rather sync my stuff wirelessly to a remote drive and not worry about storing my stuff on a modern day floppy disk. If you want to go old school that's fine but don't presume the rest of us want to follow your lead.
Isn't that exactly what you're doing though, except your sending it to someone elses modern day floppy disk where it has increased risk of all kinds of things.
Also " It adds to the cost, adds to the bulk, adds to the complexity, is one more layer of unnecessary complexity and in most cases wouldn't get used much if at all"? C'mon now. Adds to the cost? Most droids have one and practically every one is cheaper than an iphones, Adds to bulk? Seriously? unnecessary complexity? Now your just trying to make it sound like they're doing you a favour locking down your storage, but don't forget you need to keep double what you need free to do anything.
For example, movies are always streamed now - you don't store your Netflix movies locally. So you don't need a huge data library.
Always? No. I have plenty of videos stored on my phone but then again I don't do Netflix or cloud storage, youtube is about the only thing I stream. But then again I have an sd slot so storage ain't really a big issue. You are correct in your assentation though that 64GB isn't 100TB so well done there.
>And yet, Your Democrat President does nothing to stop ISIS. Looks like we will have to wait until the next Republican President before we can bring Math and Science back to the middle east.
Is that what killing people and destroying infrastructure does? Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
If those people and that infrastructure is holding all that and more down then yes.
Which is basically conservatism that wants to maintain the quo socially
Thanks for confirming you know nothing about libertarianism.
Libertarians tend to be quite liberal socially - get government out of banning abortions, get government out of licensing marriages, get government out of the business of spying on citizens. These are all quite clearly outlined in the libertarian party's platform. Most of their policies stem from the fundamental precept that government is not the solution to all problems, and government should stay out of the business of solving problems unless there is a pressing need for protection of somebody's individual rights - e.g., most libertarians will agree that a police force and court systems are necessary to provide people redress when their rights are infringed upon by another.
This often leads them to the conclusion that government spending needs to be dramatically reduced, because government itself is too big, and has insinuated itself into too many areas of our lives.
As a foreign observer, isn't that pretty much why America came to be? To get government and other interfering types to leave them the fuck alone?
Hey! Let's just ignore history, colonization, the ongoing impacts of the RC Church, and the niggling fact of who developed guns first.
Also, "third world countries" have plenty of culture, they are just not listening to Vivaldi and sipping tea with their pinkies extended.
Careful, your entitlement, ignorance, and racism are showing...
Colonisation brought technology, the RC church impacts only those who let it. Who developed guns first might matter if they weren't available to all. A couple hundred years ago you might have had a point but none of those things have any kind of hold on keeping the third world down now. So keep looking on from your tower of smug superiority.
You mean, greedy Third World swine with nothing to contribute, who think that they're "entitled" to live in a rich country because Whitey is rich and they are poor?
As opposed to the greedy First World swine with nothing to contribute who think they're "entitled" to live in a rich country because of who's uterus they happened to be expelled from?
Aren't sweeping generalizations fun!
Well to be fair, the location of that uterus is what entitles you to live in your country. You are of that country, it's luck of the draw if its rich or poor, good or bad. I'm entitled to live in the UK because I was born here but we have people travelling across up to the entirety of Europe/Asia to get here passing many many places where asylum could be applied for but no, they meet up in Calais and try again and again to cross the channel while France just sits there and let's them.
Owned? never. Used? all the time. Everytime my wife says how do I do x? And at work I'm responsible for maintaining over 50 ipads and a few mac suites (educational setting) so it's not like I just dislike them because it's the in thing. I dislike them because I have to use them all the time and it's awkward to get them to do what I want how I want. I'm always searching for work arounds and alternate methods when they're supposed to 'just work'. Very few people can give me actual reasons why 'macs are better' when I ask. I'm in the camp of hate windows the least, except 8. 8 can go suck a fat one.
It's just the regular Z I have and it's not that there's anything particularly wrong with it, it just didn't hold up as well as it's competitors. Probably the thing that annoys me the most that I can put my finger on is the speakers are not very loud at all, considerably quitter than an s4 even with xloud on. The Walkman software is another underwhelming feature which I was disappointed with. Overall I'd just say do more research than I did (which wasn't much) I did get it in purple though so that's pretty cool but I still wish I'd got a HTC One.
I share my iPhone's 4G to my rMBP daily over bluetooth. Yet another use of bluetooth on iOS which directly contradicts your ignorant statements...
Well that's either something they added since the last time I used one or something which only goes between idevices . Those links seem to suggest transferring from mobile to desktop so either way, well behind the times or well restricted. Neither world surprise me.
Ok, lets try bluetoothing something from my phone to yours or vice versa. Expand to syncing with stuff and call it a day. Fair enough I'm only talking file transfer but that is all I've ever used bluetooth for.

Humbug! Let Apple recommend whatever it likes, but let me make the final call. It's still my device, remember?
