No. They're based in Finland. Hopefully he will follow through and eliminate nafta, cafta, and any talk of the TPP in order to level the playing field for American companies, though.
You could look like a real wizard. Nobody needs cables since you can charge it wirelessly. Use a new and exciting iWizard interface to connect new type of headphones that look like wizard hat.
That would be pretty cool. Make it the size of a marble and require bluetooth interfaces like headphones and a watch. The perfect iProduct.
Let's be frank here, if you can't be assed to look at the screenshots and read anything, hell, do more than just look at the icon before pressing "buy", you're being a moron, and you deserve to be scammed. This isn't Apple's responsibility, it's yours, and yours alone to do the absolute minimum amount of "research" (if it can be called that) before spending money. I thought this was called common sense; apparently it's a rare and valuable skill.
Keep in mind, Apple became popular because they do the thinking for their users. The mere availability of something that can be confusing on their store really is a big problem for Apple's customers.
Copying the software to those machines might be a technical violation of the license, but was there any evidence that those unlicensed copies were ever actually used?
Otherwise, this is more of a theoretical violation as opposed to showing that the Navy was using software that it just didn't want to pay for.
"USED" vs "Installed" may not be something the owner differentiates in the license. In which case it would not matter if the software was actually used.
Surely that covers all 550k of our computers.... right?
Well, they bought it for the 38 people in the US Navy smart enough to use the program, and may want to use it on any of several.. errm... hundred... thousand computers - what if you need to quickly draw something on the missile guidance computer onboard a submarine?
Too bad they didn't ask the one guy in the Navy who is smart enough to understands EULAs-
Too bad eula's are so complex they may really need someone who specializes in such a thing. There ought to be a law;)
In 1834, the United States Marine Corps came under the Department of the Navy.[46] Historically, the Navy has had a unique relationship with the USMC, partly because they both specialize in seaborne operations. Together the Navy and Marine Corps form the Department of the Navy and report to the Secretary of the Navy. However, the Marine Corps is a distinct, separate service branch[47] with its own uniformed service chief – the Commandant of the Marine Corps, a four-star general.
Warning: The video at the top of the linked page is political discussion by Chen. They talk about the election, immigration, etc.
I clicked for a video I thought would be about blackberries and their keyboard (that I miss desperately). What I got was a video about some guy complaining about the election and calling himself an immigrant yet expressing fear over the reduction of work visas and expulsion of illegal aliens.
I guess most slashdotters have nothing to worry about. Most don't read the articles anyway.
You don't seem to understand how when the government punishes companies other people end up paying for it.
The people in Russia should decide whether they want to use LinkedIn. Their government shouldn't make that decision on their behalf.
I can't imagine how you can make the case that LinkedIn is a threat to society while ISIS is going around blowing up all kinds of stuff.
Russia can, and has, decided linkedin is a threat to society by not following Russia's laws regarding where their citizens' personal data is stored. The whole thing sounds very reasonable to me.
It's kind of sad that the H1B Zombies spent all that time making an updated version of a Java program; then slapped an "A.I." sticker on it.
Hay Zombies, try this A.I. problem. "Given a person's Auto Insurance Policy, is that person over insured?"
Are you kidding? It garnered them articles in fortune and slashdot! I'm sure the publicity alone was worth the cost of the update even if they only changed the comment lines in the code.
There is no reason to have a computer connected to the internet 24/7, use a gateway, allow internet access only when needed.
No reason except that most computers are used especially for accessing the internet. Maybe it's web, maybe it's usenet, maybe it's irc, maybe it's some client-server apps like Office364 or google for work. Most people I know use their computer mainly for accessing stuff on the internet. Sure, we also do things like write programs, or maybe edit a local document. Internet use is so common now days that not having your computer connected seems silly.
To be fair, I've got a tivo, and what he's described in the summary is significantly easier than finding a program on tivo. Tivo is great, but it could be better for sure.
The solution of course is everything on demand. The roadblock is legal issues aka licensing/copyright.
How come we never get to complain about Amazon Prime? Every day there is another article about Netflix, and the same shills post the same comments about the quality of their original content...
Because there is nothing to complain about;p
In all seriousness.. it's probably because people don't buy prime to watch movies. They buy prime for the shipping. The movies thing is just something amazon throws in to say they have an offering. I've never found it to be useful. If mcdonalds gave me a crappy dvd with a cheeseburger for the same price, I would ignore the junk, eat my cheeseburger, and go on about my day. When people buy netflix it's only because they want to watch something on netflix.

Apple just removed tethering from the iPhone! Totally ridiculous! Next they'll remove ringers, vibration, and screens, and we'll just have a black slab of glassy smooth...
Damn.. That will probably look really fucking good... Shut up and take my money!
That whole "screen" thing really does significantly contribute to the size of a smart phone. Removing it would be revolutionary; nay evolutionary; nay - it would be the iPhone 8:P
Physical tethers for high-end stores also have alarms so when you snip them the alarm goes off right away. Either way, the iPhones are indeed bricks when stolen and quite honestly, the majority of people aren't thieves. And even if one gets stolen (perhaps for parts), I doubt Apple cares very much, they write the potential lifetime value of the phone (device + apps + music + recycling/resale perhaps ~$3-4000) off as a loss on their taxes.
It's likely better for apple than actually selling the phone.
This would be the greatest thing ever.
open as "iPad", open as "iPhone 6s", etc.
Yes, that would be really slick, not just for usability, but also for testing.
There are already user agent switcher addons for firefox and chrome. You'll probably have to add your own user agent strings for newer mobile browsers, though.
Slashdot Mirror
Will he fix Nokia? More Trump news please!!!!
No. They're based in Finland. Hopefully he will follow through and eliminate nafta, cafta, and any talk of the TPP in order to level the playing field for American companies, though.
I'll take "Stuff that shouldn't even be possible" for $1000 Alex.
I'll take "didn't even read TFS" for $1, Alex.
Nothing to do with boot-loader, everything to do with a shoddy driver.

They could make it a .25 instead of a .35 jack, which is a standard but far rarer
Those things were a massive pain in the ass when phone makers were using them. Just say no.
Did everyone forget #bentgate? Apple already has phones with curved screens.
Excel's logo is a green X, not E.

Technically, as it's the Navy, they would be Marines which for some reason people forget are actually part of the Navy and not a separate branch.
Not for almost 200 years, if this is to be believed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U...

Live Facebook video feed? I think NSA will be a lot more interested in such feature than any consumers.
Will be? You don't think facebook developed this on their own, do you?
"Winter" in cold areas is anywhere from October to April
Technically Winter is only 3 months long... but 'feels like winter'... that is another thing entirely.
I used to go trick or treating as a kid during snow storms... and I didn't even live in THAT cold of a place
Let's just be clear. If you lived someplace where frozen water literally falls out of the sky... you lived in THAT cold of a place.
the site bullied people beyond what could be considered reasonable.
Because everyone knows we only want reasonable bullying.
Often, that is what 'news' businesses do.

Aren't printed circuits using carbon nanotubes kind of the entire point of carbon nanotubes? How can hey be awarded a patent on it?
