did you measure the size of the gap between the labia of the female employees? because assuming flat will result in a bias towards the company with more female workers
maybe your head is 17 ml greater volume than samsung
btw, volume (space) is generally measured using a unit of distance cubed (such as cm3), while ml is generally reserved for fluid volume... are you talking about volume of blood+water in their employees?
apple isn't a "tiny" company... some people get a bit overzealous about all this stuff, but in all fairness apple doesn't only compete in one market... apple is into laptop and desktop computers, operating systems and other software, and personal music players...
Apple came a long and with nothing but a "design that is currently in style" gave us a look at phones that worked for us instead of against us
it works as long as you don't have a problem with purchasing everything through itunes and don't mind not having access to much else... apple being the good philanthropic corporate citizen that it is... its not like they want your money or anything
except in Samsung's case, the Flash Chip Division chief simply dials the extension for the Factory Division chief and puts in an order for a new factory filled with new equipment from the New Factory Equipment Division... it still costs Samsung money, but nowhere near as much as purchasing everything from separate companies
Why hasn't Apple integrated vertically, owning more of the hardware process, from chip making to board fabbing to plastic extrusion?
because there are bigger, older and richer companies (like samsung) already in those markets, so if there is even a chance that apple is worried about competition with samsung in the smartphone market, can you imagine how terrified they would be of competing in markets that samsung has been a dominant player in for years?
Sumsung is a much larger and older company than Apple, with much more diverse income sources and more than double the revenue. I have no doubt they will be a thorn in Apple's side for years to come, regardless of how many lawyers Apple can afford.
i didn't say cookies are needed, in fact i said that they aren't... learn to read, and misquoting is bad
cookies can be used, but all i'm trying to explain to those that are complaining about the law in tfa and their perceived need to flout it because they can't live without tracking cookies (the law doesn't prohibit all cookies), is that there are alternatives
i've never said that i don't personally like cookies. i use them too. i just also know how to use other technologies too.
i also never said that cookies were the only way to track users, or that the methods i mentioned were free of privacy concerns
are you people lacking sleep or something? you seem to be unable to read and comprehend simple things
definitely need a CTRL pedal and an ALT pedal, so that you can bail out of a nasty situation by pushing CTRL, then ALT, and then BRAKE... just hope it isn't followed by a blue scream of death
you are an idiot. unless Facebook can access the cookies left by the porn sites (which according to you are "enforced per-domain" so shouldn't be possible - except it actually is in some cases), or there is a facebook iframe embedded in the porn site, there is no way Facebook could know about such porn sites... maybe your tinfoil hat is getting a bit tight and cutting off the circulation to your brain
the rules may affect all cookies, but they clearly don't prohibit all cookies an there are categories that don't require consent. you don't need to be a lawyer to understand that... its the whole reason why the linked document was created, with specific "guidance for website operators". there may be grey areas, but if your intent is honest, its unlikely you'll get strung up, but hey if you can demonstrate cases that prove otherwise i'm all ears
what "problem"? mysql+post fields are an alternative to cookies... where's the problem with that? what the hell do people have against post fields, and what is so orgasmic about cookies? is cookies all that you cookie munchers understand? go read "PHP and MySQL For Dummies"
breaking the vast majority of technology on the market
there you go with your cookie fetish again... it won't "break technology", it will merely neccessitate some recoding (keeping programmers employed)
it's about feel-good-fuzzy-warm-cuddlies
you're not too bright are ya... there are also laws that prohibit murder, but it doesn't prevent people from being murdered... maybe such pointless laws should be dropped too? the law is about establishing a level of risk in doing what is against the law, so that if you engage in breaking the law there is a risk that you'll be caught and punished. the internet has operated for years with few laws, which means no risk, which means companies and criminals feel free do do as they please and abuse any priveliges they can get their grubby hands on, such as personally identifiable data in third party tracking cookies. introducing a law that prohibits using such cookies without user consent means that there is now risk in engaging in some (not all) online privacy invasion
if you let go of you're cock for a second, i wasn't saying i was a better engineer or that i know more than you, although i'm starting to wonder. you're coming across as a total dipshit now
get off your fucking soapbox you idiot before you fall off and break your neck
i have nothing against cookies, i actually use cookies (as i've said in other posts in this article) and they are useful for some things... what has completely gone over your measly mind is that they aren't absolutely essential to achieve the functionality that they are commonly used for, and i said this because morons like you were complaining about the law in tfa and blathering on about how awesome and necessary cookies are
get/post is designed for sending data to the server, and can be used in that capacity to achieve whatever you or i want it to. you're an idiot if you think using hidden post fields to transfer session ids is "abusing" its intent. what a fucking wanker.
i also haven't been suggesting that tracking isn't possible with post fields... in fact in other posts i have been confirming that it is
post isn't "better" than cookie, but cookie isn't better than post either. there have been no "problems" identified by "numerous actual programmers" (you are such a twit)... there has simply been bitches by idiots like you who can't comprehend alternative methods other than your own and like to complain about things you don't like about such alternatives
so how about you go back to smoking your boyfriend's cock
i don't "eat it up" and i don't give a rats about tracking cookies personally. i'm just offering an alternative view to those morons that think cookies are the be all and end all. they're just cookies
the EU directive isn't nonsense. its not the ultimate answer to everything, but its at least a step in the right direction towards adressing some level of online privacy.
if you weren't whinging about online privacy laws, you would find something else to whinge about
tfa talks about a law that targets specific cookies, not cookies in general. i just attempted to quiety redirect the entire discussion from pointless ranting to the topic of tfa. if you prefer to restore the pointless ranting, be my guest
Hey crutchy boy I've read enough of your shit already
get over yourself, twat
how "mysql" is the solution to anything here
its not a solution to anything here, its just an alternative to cookies that twat bitches like you are so enamoured of
using a php/asp/perl script you can read get or post fields (you can even read cookies omg!) and store the data in a mysql database, so that the data is retained between page transitions. its not rocket science you stupid twink. wtf is so special about cookies anyway?
Turn left - crash into vehicle
Turn right - cash into vehicle
that's not very marketable... you would at least need to provide other options to crash into, such as trees, farm animals, or justin bieber... instead of a GTO you would have a GTA
