I think everyone is missing the point. This is the old "demand something unspeakable in order to 'back down' to what you really want" trick. The Snoopers Charter isn't doing too well in UK (a short hop away from the Netherlands) but it is being seen as a good idea so declare war on the world's computers and the true intent will be passed after an "embarrassing" u-turn / deprecatory climb down lets the protesters think they've won a small victory for liberty.
And that "I'll introduce a whole bunch of extra conditions to my original refuted point as I can't concede that any other phone can have similar functionality" superiority complex is why I kill all WiFi connections from Apple products in range whenever I'm in a coffee shop. Can your phone do that? No? That sucks.
And now this is getting ugly and tiresome, so I'm not going to play anymore.
I don't use Exchange Server functionality on my phone because I have to allow remote wiping to a third party. Screw that.
Complaining that a non-Apple product doesn't play nice with your Apple-centric setup is a bit silly. Maybe it's the other way around? DNLA compatible apps have been around for years.
I can also SMS for free, charge and play through my car stereo in three different ways depending on how I connect it. I'm using Android to do it all. Best of all, my total outlay was probably a tenth of yours.
GANDI.NET doesn't charge. They provide a tick box to remove your details from public WHOIS and even encourage you to tick it. To hell with the nickel and dimers gouging you for basic functionality.
Not even close. An IP that is identified (assuming accurate logs) as having at some time originated from a connection associated with an account merely means that at some time a connection associated with that account was made with that IP. Nothing more.
Even if it is a static IP it still doesn't identify anyone as addresses can be spoofed. Or, as in any user of BTFON - where part of your router's wireless capacity is set to an open network in return for free connections around the world; the address the ISP has remains the same irrespective of which network was used - it can be anyone who happened to be in range.
I'm sure he doesn't really care what was said, or by whom. It is more likely that this is just a shot over the bows as it was as a result of the personal defamation that Wikileaks, a separate entity, was blacklisted by MasterCard.
Couldn't that be said of any "creation" that fulfils a requirement? How about a dishwasher? Arguably not that creative, it's a machine that does the washing up so you don't have to. Or is the construction merely "programming" using physical parts?
The Amazon App Store app isn't on Play so you have to sideload by checking the box in the first place. I haven't seen anything from Amazon saying you should uncheck it after installation for your own protection.
In the UK, the slowest form of transport allowed to be on a particular road has right of way. No exceptions.
The a pedestrian deciding to rush into a road does bear some responsibility as they are deemed temporary users of the road, as in they should stay off it as much as possible. A bicycle, however, is entitled to use all of the assigned carriageway, just like a horse, motorbike, car, truck, tractor, tank, whatever. If both bicycle and vehicle are travelling in the same direction then there is no "path" for them to lurch wildly into. A reason they would lurch sideways is to avoid potholes / raised metalwork. Which they are entitled to do (you do the same in a car, don't you?). If you hit them YOU are entirely at fault.
True, this can be an elephant trap for beginners but this is the problem. People think that JavaScript is easy due to its accessibility (anyone can hit F12 and type into the console, jQuery and plugins are everywhere; it is usually in recruitment ads) and so rarely bother to actually learn the nuances. Then they complain when things don't work how their limited knowledge assumes it will.
This isn't to say that there aren't dumb things going on under the hood occasionally.
Or they read the first three paragraphs and go "I don't get it and I want to use OO like those C++ guys" and deliberately choose to ignore probably the most useful aspect of JavaScript.
Any library that interferes with another is merely a patch for an old problem that has been copy pasted into a new project and has no place there. This is true of any language, not just JavaScript.

It's a new example of a dark pattern.
Ramen to that, brother.
But not bananas.
Then it would be spelled 'Gllyn'. ... interesting.
Machynlleth has been in the news a lot lately. The range of pronunciations by various newsreader is
While we're at it: 'Grinnitch' not 'Grennitch', 'Shroozbry' not 'Shrowzbry' etc., etc..

"it is absolutely trivial to poison an arp cache so that bogus information appears in the cache."
Indeed. This is how WifiKill works, much to the annoyance of MacBook users in cafés I frequent.
I stand corrected and blame a faulty memory engram.
Never even got that far. Saw the abortion that is the front page on my phone and bailed immediately.
The Tale of Beren and Lúthien was written by Tolkien as an epic love story deliberately casting himself and his wife as the characters.
"BullRoarer" Took lived to 135 without the aid of a magical ring...
Pretty much all of the works by Anne McCaffrey, Ursula Le Guin and Marion Zimmer Bradley immediately spring to mind.
I would have expected Frankie Boyle...

Omnishambles is just the internal name. The public one is Private Finance Initiative.

The word you're looking for is "bourgeois"
