So now what? You nailed it, buying a bunch of expensive connectors for everything you own so you can use it with your shiny new computer. Ok, that one might be a straight up cable but are you expecting them to do full cables for everything? Apple are the ones going on dongle this and dongle that. Similar to their software being shit and lacking, oh there's an app for that. You want to connect x device? There's a dongle for that. You'd have to check with them which ones they release as cables and which as dongles and then double a reasonable cost for it, which are currently half price because they realised it's a bit much to ask everyone to replace all the connectors for all their other equipment at the same time because who the fuck thinks 2 usb (or 1 if you need to charge or none if you want to charge and connect another screen, (is that going to be a usb-c to hdmi cable or a dongle?)) is adequate for a "proper computer"? Hubs, dongles and cables for days, anyone who doesn't know which is which sure will do soon, and they'd better start collecting. They could cheap out with amazon but will apple cover them in case of issue? I doubt it.
What's wrong with the apple you already have for that? Obviously until they obsolete it and you can't get the latest updates but that'll be oh, at least another year away.
I'm due for an upgrade - but the new form factor (specifically the connectors) don't suit me. Limiting me to 16G is also a non-starter. The good news is that my 4 year old MBP 13" is still pretty awesome. I'll wait till next year - maybe by then the port situation will get a bit less frustrating.. Or not.
Or you could, you know, consider something other than an apple. Shocking, I know but there are other options. You don't have to wait a few more years hoping they might deem it worthy to let you get however much ram you want or choose from a number of different connectors in different configs. Anyway, they next mbp will probably be a completely wireless affair.
No, the Macbook has only USB-C and an analog audio jack. The iPhone 7 has Lightning and no analog audio jack. That way you can ensure that you cannot use any common set of headphones without at least one adapter/dongle in the mix.
Also you can't connect your apple phone to your apple computer without another separate dongle. So you can charge your laptop with one dongled port, connect your phone with the other and listen to something through the computer. Then what? You're already out of connection on your "pro" computer. Time to go get your iHub for your iDongles so you can do something else with your extremely expensive iTunes/facebook browser.
The point is that physical access is usually not that much harder to get that access from within range. Typically the use case is some in the building connecting wirelessly and some doing wired..
That's his point. Physical access you have to be at one place, which usually has people in it. Your guy can sit anywhere and get in, he could literally be on the other side of the world and still access your shit. Security isn't all about encryption and 128 bit random passwords. Range is a big factor.
Now's the time to go into business with "Pussy Protectors"(TM). Looks and feels like regular female underwear until some leery creep tries to cop a feel and then bam. A million volt electric shock. Or if you don't mind a bit of bulk on your crotch you can have the one that shoots out giant fucking metal spikes!
As of today, because of my Islamic surname, I'm a second class citizen in the eyes of America. If I want to visit, I'll have to undergo "extreme vetting", whatever that means.
The parallels with the rise of Nazism are quite disturbing.
Why would you want to visit though, especially now?
30 minutes to go 170 miles you say? Amazing. It took me about 2 minutes to "recharge" so I can go 220 miles. Of course I only had to partially "recharge" so if I had spent longer, say 5 minutes, I could go >400 miles.
Spent longer to go over 400 miles you say? Speaking of spending, it's amazing what benefit you get when you pay far more for it.
Are you implying you can't 'spend' time doing something? Because you can.

And will cost $10k
You forgot to mention there will still be brainless iMorons lining up to buy it.
With their apple finance.

What, did you think it was an actual new design, using new parts or something? Haha, good one.
They low power during use? Nice.
Nothing apple is a great idea for budget conscious shoppers.
Nice
but how many people want to travel between Dubai and Abu Dhabi and don't need a car at the other end?
Women? But then I guess they can't travel on their own so...
So, basically they were holding it wrong?

If he starts on about how Americans need more living space you know you're fucked.

It's simple logic, really.
Nintendo didn't do 9/11
Genesis does what Nintendon't
THEREFORE:
Sega did 9/11.
Tell that to the first post guy. Jews, sega, what's the difference?
That's what it's for.
is it seaworthy? continuous exposure to sea water, doesn't explode on a boat's conditions, etc.
So I'd imagine some kind of coating to the external parts is in order and some straps for the shells so they don't knock around with big waves.
I don't want to alarm anyone, but there may be a Bogeyman or men in the house.
Nailing Osama's ass in 1998 would have yielded a much bigger return than $1 million. Too bad the U.S. figured the Pakistanis were allies.
Too bad the U.S. did not figured the Pakistanis were NOT allies.
FTFY
Capcha: Astute
Did not figure they were not allies? So figured they were, like the original guy said?
Apostrophes also indicate possession.
Oh and don't forget the £2b odd for rejigging the carriers to the new jets we don't have.
Plan of action
1)Cancel Harriers
2)Build new carriers
3)Wait a while
4)Maybe finally get some f-35s
5)....
6)Profit
