The odds are fairly good that the software hasn't been fully tested in a production environment or by a user base like that which it was ultimately designed for.
You may or may not be someone who writes programs for a living. You may be a programmer by profession. But, you are not a professional programmer. And, if you work at a company that releases software that has not been fully tested, then the company you work for is unprofessional as well.
It is exactly the attitude you have displayed that prevents programming from being an engineering profession.
Yes, everyone expects to hear a phone conversation in a MOVIE THEATER. And, of course, it is appropriate to discuss color of one's baby's diarrhea or said baby's vomit in a restaurant at such a volume that people at other tables can hear. Oh, how could anyone be such a self-absorbed asshole as to think one should have some manners and a little fucking decorum.
I would suggest you go breath yourself, but one must have a functioning nervous system and brain for nerve gas to have an effect.
Their food should be bland, tasteless, and cheap, but nutrious. Their living conditions should be bare, sparce, close, and alone most of the time and closely supervised the rest. Rehabilitation does not apply.
I am not playing indignant. I am indignant. And, you are deserving of insults.
You fail to understand, period. You are the one who shows no comprehension of human behavior, rehabilitation, and punishment. They are in prison as punishment. That should mean they lose some things, such as the right to set their own menus and meal times. Punishment does have degrees of severity, in the form of length of time in prison. I guess you forgot about that. You mention parity. Where is the parity of some one taking a life and getting 5 years?
If sanitation is so terrible in South Carolina facilities, maybe the inmates shouldn't be trashing the place. Maybe, they should be punished for trashing the place. Let me guess, you would be against that too.
Hard problems? It is people like you that have caused the hard problems with your bleeding heart whining about the poor criminal scum in prison. You are too busy trying to make the criminals comfortable that you have forgotten the punishment aspect. No doubt you don't believe in personal responsibility and believe all the criminals are actually victims of society.
I don't get this idea that prisoners should have access to things like refrigerators, TVs, cable, etc. When one is in prison, one should lose a few privileges. The reason they are called penitentiaries is because one is supposed to be forced to think about the harm one has caused and thus become penitent. Now, prisoners get to spend their time working out, reading (yeah right), watching TV, and learning new criminal skills.
I would rather you hire someone competent to watch your child, stay home when your child is sick, put your phone on vibrate, and leave the room before you answer the call. In other words, not be a self-absorbed asshole.
As a comedian said, your private is invading our public.
Oh, yes, it is so easy to find a moving transmitter than runs for 2 minutes somewhere in a 5 acre building. Why, I bet you could do it in 5 seconds.
Remember, these criminals are not like you, walking around with the phone on waiting for a call. They turn the phone on, make a short call, then turn the phone off.
Finding a transmitter is not as easy as you make it sound.
Actually, I think the incident mentioned by the GP was Reuters not AP. But, that doesn't mean AP doesn't have it's own scandals that I am not aware of or that haven't been discovered.
First off, not every American constantly surrounds himself with U.S. flags. Only you American hating individuals believe that. And, it is not surprising you do not understand one wanting to be associated with one's country, because, as you have proven by your post, most people in other countries can't tell the difference nationalism and patriotism.
What is it like to be indifferent your own country? It must be kind of sad and hollow not really caring if your country is turned into is vicious, oppressive theocracy. Or, is it that it is just uncool to actual show you care?
That case does not apply because the seller was reselling the license. That falls under the first sale doctrine. Your understanding of the case and the law is flawed.
As there isn't any proof there is such a thing as a "soul", it is meaningless to speculate as to whether or not a machine can have one. Plus, there is the small fact that there is no agreed upon definition of what a soul is and what can have one.
This is EXACTLY the same if Microsoft turned around and said that windows can only be used on specific intel motherboard and cpu, and that only microsoft can decree what hardware is allowed to be used with it.
No, it is not. Microsoft does not make hardware. The only way it could be considered the same is if Microsoft bought a computer hardware manufacturer and then said "You can only run Windows on Microsoft hardware."
All apple has to get them on is that the OSX license stipulates that it MUST BE INSTALLED ON APPLE HARDWARE.
Apple makes no secret that the license requires the use of Apple hardware. Because Apple sells a license to use the software, Apple has a legal right to restrict that use any way it wishes. Don't want to use Apple hardware, don't use OSX.
You can not dictate the terms of licensing. You do not have a right to use something in a way that is specifically prohibited by the license. Apple has rights too, and your rights end where Apples rights begin. Apple doesn't have to do anything just because you want it done in a certain way.
Quit being a whiny, selfish brat and use something else.
The executives don't just get paid for their 4 martini lunches and steak dinners with 2 bottles of wine, the lunches and dinners are paid for by the company. And, then they are paid ridiculous salaries to run the companies into the ground.
Hell, most of them are not qualified to run a wet paper bag.
1. No, you are not considering the ethical aspects. You dont' seem to have any concept of ethics or morals.
2. Vigilantes did not blow holes in the internet. That statement shows your complete lack of understanding of the internet. They reported abuse of service and violation of terms of service. And, the upstream providers exercised their legal rights.
3. It was McColo that was protecting the scammers and spammers. Ignorance is what protected McColo.
4. No, it has taken this long because no one brought McColo's activities to the attention of McColo's ISP. Once that happened, McColo was disconnected.
The only person showing moral flexibility around here is you. Your ignorance is the reason you think "This can only end badly".
First and foremost, you are not a we. You do not speak for me or anyone other than yourself, so stop using we.
You keep forgetting that McColo had a contract with it's ISP which stated that it would not support spam and malware and that McColo completely ignored that part of the contract.
What about McColo's legal obligations? What about McColo's legal obligations to the upstream providers to uphold the contract between the upstream providers and McColo?
Do you want to know what our legal obligation is? It is to report spammers to their ISPs. And, if that ISP will not do anything about the spammers, it is our legal obligation to report the ISP to the upstream providers.
You are not a troll. You are whiney, immature asshole. Grow the fuck up.

Bullshit. they were being racists assholes and you are being an appologist asshole.
Generally, no, they don't happen without cell phones. Maybe if you could remember back to when cell phones were incredibly rare you would know that.

What you think is "fair" is foolishness.
And, the comment would have still been stupid and wrong.

Wah. Prison is supposed to be unpleasant.

Because every time I talk about things like this happening as a result of the FLOSS, I am told it never happens.
Oh, look, the eurotrash modded me down. Boo fucking hoo. If you can't take getting your ass handed to you, maybe you people should shut the fuck up.
Nah, they are just embarrassed about getting caught.
Actually, I think the incident mentioned by the GP was Reuters not AP. But, that doesn't mean AP doesn't have it's own scandals that I am not aware of or that haven't been discovered.
Actually, that looks like a standard issue high ranking military officer's office.
Basically, it is a crappy picture of her sitting in her office.

I doubt it would be a perfect phone call due to the 9 minutes of reaming.

You do not buy an operating system. You buy a license to use an operating system. You are required to abide by the terms of the license.
No, it is not. Microsoft does not make hardware. The only way it could be considered the same is if Microsoft bought a computer hardware manufacturer and then said "You can only run Windows on Microsoft hardware."
