Since AppleCare handles the batteries as well, and Apple will replace them for $200, it stands to reason that Apple has a way to properly remove the batteries. Probably a solvent of some kind that is specific to the glue they use.
Sure. But FRAND patent abuse is far *FAR* worse. Motorola was asking for 10% to 15% of the iPhone's *SELLING* price.
You don't have to implement any specific feature covered by a normal patent.
But you *HAVE TO* implement FRAND patents because they are part of the standard.
And if you think it's OK for Google to abuse FRAND patents this time, what about the next time? Or do you mean to say Google should be allowed to use FRAND patents defensively? Then what happens if Google actually did steal someone else's legitimate patent (say for real delivering medicine via TCP/IP, as an example patent that hasn't been filed nor probably will be). If that company or startup tries to sue Google, and then Google can retaliate with a "I'll sic my FRAND patents on you, itty bitty startup!
While I don't disagree with that sentiment, I don't think this applied to the specific instance he was talking about. Figuring out that you need to twiddle one bios option in order to have windows xp run is not a "toss it back to supplier" issue.
The guy you were responding to is a mouthy idiot. I've been doing this for 20 years, and I would want to work with someone who is willing to learn more, rather than say "oh, we have a service contract and someone else will take care of it".
In the past, I have given away old equipment to my team so that they can take it home and learn how to network, etc etc, and out of a team of 10, 2 came back with processes that helped improve our workflow. You sound like one of those two, and that's a pretty good thing.
Learn everything you can. Though, you will also have to learn to delegate and let go sometimes, if it's another department's responsibility. In that case, learn diplomacy and how to help them learn to improve any specific things, by making it appear it's their idea, etc etc.
Exactly! I know I can trust you because you write everything from the bootloader and firmware upwards! After all, Google wouldn't be doing anything to invade your privacy, like the did with iPhone.
And as I pointed out - something like OpenNAS. You could use a CLI-only version to mount drives, etc, but certainly not *EVERY* user would have to type anything...
Apparently you are unfamiliar with the concept of GUI wrappers for commandline tools. The original poster helpfully bolded words for you to think about. every single user must type in at least one command.
Come on, Gnome is written by a guy with a hard on for Bill Gates, what do you expect? Which part of Windows did they not try to implement?.Net, mono,.asp and other weirdass shit.
He did say he would love to work for Microsoft.
Since they wouldn't hire him, he is doing his best to turn Linux into Windows.
You mean 1 million Androids a day are not enough to support Flash?!?! Oh noes!!! Just how much bloat does Flash need if it couldn't even survive on 1 million Androids a day?!
Slashdot Mirror
Apparently Android users liked the M part of BDSM.
Then again, they do continue to let Samsung/HTC/non-Google manufacturers screw them over...
No wonder you had to post as AC. Samsung have not released any JellyBean phones yet. Liar liar, phone on fire
(ok, ok, you had to microwave it first...)
Watch out for the Thundercats prowling around...
You mean the gold rating listed here?

*THIS* I hate that stupid US custom where you must tell everyone they are number one and they too can be an astronaut and president.

So how do you feel about Google's abuse of FRAND patents and trying to get the XBox 360 banned?
It's a good sign.

Security. I'm the one with all the toys :)

since when does it spam your contacts?
On the 360s, s/make a lot of money/finally made a profit, but still a net negative overall/
Are they claiming rights over *MY* speech?
wish I have modpoints. Don't understand why people don't understand this point.

If something requires CLI to work, it means every single user must type in at least one command on the CLI for the device to function.
Good to see reading comprehension is alive and well on slashdot.
Yes. The level of reading comprehension is incredible.
You are an idiot. A CLI means you can use it directly via a Command Line, or you can use a GUI wrapper around it.
I don't know where you get the idea having a CLI means you actually have to type. Things like OpenNAS shows you're full of shit.
Since when has it ever been different?
Come on, Gnome is written by a guy with a hard on for Bill Gates, what do you expect? Which part of Windows did they not try to implement? .Net, mono, .asp and other weirdass shit.
