    It was obvious that they would never indict her. She's too big to jail.

    Hopefully what the public remembers about this is that if an enlisted man did exactly what she did, he'd be in Leavenworth.

    Well, I for one think this is important. How else can the government ensure we are safe from terror, tax evasion, and political subversion if they aren't allowed to install backdoors in our network hardware?

    That's great if you want to roll a filing cabinet with you everywhere you go. Or, I can just use Ever/OneNote and have it all in my pocket.

    With regard to EverNote's changes, I'm not sure why I would use EverNote at the same price as I could acquire the whole Office suite including OneNote, which IMO is better.

    No, he's been coaxed out of retirement and into consulting by a headhunter, who's looking for someone to fix garbage code that FreshBSinCompSci wrote.

  7. Re:Interesting post on Dell Stops Selling Android Tablets (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    If I wanted a tablet, I think I'd actually rather get an ipad. Even though I'm not an Apple fan, at least you can count on support and updates for a number of years, and that after the actual model I bought is discontinued, it will still have an update path.

  8. Apple was already charging more per month for a Spotify subscription than what you'd pay by going through Spotify. You could subscribe through Spotify for $9.99, but if you subscribed through iTunes I think it was $12.99.

    Apple is just making sure they get a hefty cut of what Spotify is doing, while adding no value.

    All of this could be solved by moving to a consumption tax model rather than a revenue-based model.

    Developing an deploying features that nobody wants......

    Having M$ disable this feature is like having an Apple iPhone without a standard headphone jack.

    Apple's hardware decisions are not the same thing as MS removing useful OS features in order to force people to use an application they hate.

  13. More of the Skype mentality: Taking something that could be implemented simply and cleanly - and using it to drag you kicking and screaming into an larger application that you hate.

    Forget that "0.0% of people want this", as TFA states. We know what you want. We will help you want it.

  22. Re:Frivilous Law Suit on Airbnb Has Sued Its Hometown Of San Francisco (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    We have the same problem in the major US city in which I live.

    The legal environment since the government reaction to the housing crisis has restricted availability of housing further and further. It's become more and more legally complicated, expensive, and risky to build or convert a structure for sales as individual units. Developers are choosing to turn everything into rental housing now. There's very little in the way of inventory of housing for purchase in the metro in desirable areas.

    The snake's eaten its own tail.

  23. Re:Frivilous Law Suit on Airbnb Has Sued Its Hometown Of San Francisco (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The point is that politicians in San Francisco are purposefully imposing onerous regulations on Airbnb because they're owned by the hotel and hospitality companies who want to throw as many roadblocks at Airbnb as they can.

    Just like the taxi companies and cab-driver unions and their pols did with Uber

    This is a lot like those signs on the back of dump trucks that say "Not responsible for broken windshields".

    The sign changes nothing about the law, but it probably works very well to discourage people from trying to recover damages from them.

    Microsoft made nearly $100,000,000,000 last year. It's the equivalent of someone who makes $50,000 a year spending 50 cents.

    There's no point in tying up legal resources over such a small amount when you've secured a cheap settlement and no acknowledgement of any wrongdoing.
