Space Shuttle - designed 40 years ago - flew 30 years ago.
Replacement, designed 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago.... uh.... hmm - nothing flying yet. Gee.
Hey NASA - go fuck yourselves. You're done and you put the ass in Astronauts but here's a video game to pretend you're in a space program that won't admit it's dead yet. Or you can play an equally probable game involving aliens and space marines. I'll take the space marines.
Fine. I'll make color copies of the FBI seal and put them in all the newspaper machines in Washington DC and then submit a tip to the FBI that suspicious people with the Washington Post are carrying illegal credentials. Think they'd give a shit?
It makes me itch that the (my) iPad and iPhones won't work together by default and I have to jailbreak the phone to get them to talk to one another, and - no - I'm not interesting in watching movies on 3G, but it'd be nice to have the NYT refresh at the next crappy hotel that claims to have wifi (seriously almost all hotel wifi is sucktacular) or perhaps a book purchase.
Also having the wifi-only Kindle on order was kind of a tie-breaker. I've got 3G - why does everything else need 3G embedded in my house when the phone is perfectly able to share?
My toaster? 3G - my cat - 3G upgrade. My commemorative pillow of Richard Nixon shaking Elvis' hand at the white house? Oh boy you bet that's 3G now baby.
Did you miss the line where I fixed it? This rates you as informative?
kind of the point of the post. But that's informative for ya. And given Apple and ATT's whackamole and spin following the Library of Congress ruling, I guess Apple must be unicorns and rainbow smiles with the decision.
I laughed - but they restore all computers and iphones (probably iPods too) every day. It'd be a short-lived prank.
But I'm going to laugh more after waiting for years for ATT to provide tethering (which I'd gladly pay for) - if it were wifi - like every-freaking-body-else. Oh no - you can't tether your iPad - because - um - bluetooth only! Yeah that's it! It's apple's fault because they don't support bluetooth tethering - obviously.
What about WIFI? "ahem cough cough - ahem".
Fixed that little problem in 30 seconds - and oh noes - if my phone has problems, I guess I'll just have to suffer and restore it to preserve my warranty. Such a huge sacrifice that.
Suck MyFi dick ATT / Apple - you had your chance for nearly 3 years and you fucked it up. Here's a fork - you know where to stick it to see if you're done.
Has it? On what metric? Individual users vs enterprise? I'm still seeing more XPress than I thought I'd see by now in offices. The (individual) users probably dumped it with CS3 (like me), but I don't see a lot of shops that depend on pagination switch yet.
I got mine because I don't have a TV (I got rid of my under-used non-digital 4x3 32 inch heavy boat anchor in my last move). Although I (probably) now watch too much Netflix, I've really come to appreciate books again now that I don't have to lug them through the airport (I've got at least 10 from iBooks and the Kindle bookstore).
On the other hand - given how fast they download - books have to rate as the most underwhelming online buying experience ever. Movies and music take a (little) while and give the "impression" I'm buying something. Books? *Blip!* - thanks for the 10 bucks - want another? Even slot machines take more time to pretend to do something.
I'm not going to apologize for having an education and (finally) having a bit of money - although I still rent and have worked food kitchens. But hey - I'm an intellectual - shoot me and evacuate the cities for farming already. My skull will look good on a shelf.
(seriously this is thing is covered in Teabagger language - are they serious?)
How does that work in places of businesses? Banks, grocery stores, gas stations - all places that police can make an appearance. I guess it's open season on those too. In this case, I'd like to see them serve the letter of the law. Seeing the director of BoA going to jail would be interesting - however unlikely. But we know that won't happen because they have money - and lawyers, and lobbyists putting dollars into powerful pockets.
Little people can't afford justice. They can afford flaming cocktails tho. Arson is cheap when done en-masse, and it seems the state is sanctioning this with their provocations. You can't have a party without an invite - and they are putting out a massive overreaction of an invite.

Soooo all .pdf exploits instal Cydia? How considerate. I thought only jailbreakers did that.
I love how using Apple products makes everything so easy - Cydia for everyone! Thanks!

Your tax dollars at work.
I'd mod ya up too.

Informative.

Be a dickhead and mouth off to a cop. See how far that gets you in ANY country.

For all the admins who get god-complexes in the line of work - rape isn't just a term used in gaming. It's also found with words like prison.
So apparently The Washington Post presents a clear and present danger to public freedom and the accountability of government and industry.
No just the writer - who has also wrote hack-pieces supporting the birthers and other wingnuts, but that's not surprising for a Bush speechwriter.
But hey - give him credibility here on Slashdot - it makes for good click-thru and ROI.
Think he'd hold FOX accountable for all the shootings attributable to them lately? - No of course he won't.
Actually, I think it's more akin to wondering if Steve Balmer ever gets tired of being wrong.
Want to make a billion? Do the opposite of whatever chair-throwing babble comes out of Redmond and profit.

I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
He wants to give his heart to you. How Hallmark.
There's a fine line between Awwwwww - and - AHHHHHHHHHH!
One letter in fact.
I like where this is going.
boingboingstealsmyshit.com could be a fun meme-of-the-week blog (with your content front and center)
Then submit it to boing boing.
Information wants to be free - stick it to the man - hey thanks for the content, sucker.
I'll be keeping my information to myself now - thx CC and blogs run by "Xeni" - a name that just oozes trust and professionalism.
(says a slashdot poster with the name jewishbaconzombies)
No no no - where's the frothing invective? The uncompromising trollworthy slang? You need to go for the gusto.
Something like : "Apple Users Faggots – Slashdot would like to see them all die of AIDS”.
There you go – RSS gold! Run that baby! Carpe diem commisceo - Seize the links!
I'm curious. What are those things that you coudn't do before?
Carry more than 15 books through United concourse B in Denver from one end to another without breaking a sweat or a spine.
Solution - use a Verizon MiFi as a bridge. The cost savings from getting the WiFi only iPads will pay for the (credit-card sized) base-stations.

So you're saying / suggesting / smugly hinting the teabaggers are now the majority? (if they're not elite they must be the majority right?)
.... nooooo - they're so fucking not. Put down the Fox News, and slowly back away from the Glen Beck.
Uhhhhhhh
Who wrote this? Pol Pot?

Reading this and wondering which editor should be sent a link to the article on intraoffice email.
(and no I'm not kidding - although I'll have to check if anyone is already working on this - news cycles in print are weird)

Speak of the devil. I edited down the copy a co-worker gave me for their lost-cat flyer one lunchtime back in 1999.
Just 3 words in the headline big (a short description of the cat in very very small type) and his phone number. LOOKING FOR PUSSY.
He got 10 angry phone calls in 20 minutes and got the cat in less than an hour - I shit you not. Effective advertising works.
