And odd, because traditionally Scotland was an ally of France. The "thousand year long cross-channel rivalry" was between England and France, not Scotland and France.
All that proves is that the half of the population that didn't vote was just as stupid as the half that voted for GWB -- so 75% of Americans are idiots by your reckoning.
I don't see anything about the other big cause of land-fill Android syndrome: software updates. Are they also going to update the phone to new OS versions for a decade or so?
Although they're no longer selling the Fairphone 1 they've recently finished a big operation to get hold of the licenses to allow them to make new software releases for it.
Riiiight. Now let us all know when you change your religion because the satellites haven't shown warming in 17 years....
Dummy, you've got cherry picking wrong 17 years ago was 1999. You want 1998.
Going with your 1999 date we get: UAH Trend since 1999: 0.166 +/- 0.171 C/decade (2sigma)
It's just possible that there has been no warming since 1999, but it's more likely than not that there has been warming.
Of course this is all nonsense for the reasons you well know -- satellite "temperatures" don't really measure temperature, cherry picked periods and so on.
Fairphone 1 was made to be sourced with non-conflict materials.
Fairphone 2 extends that idea to: 1. more interaction with the manufacturer to improve conditions for the workers 2. more repairability/upgradeability to extend the life of the phone.
TAOS identified several issues regarding daily health and safety operations on the workfloor. The emergency evacuation routes, fire safety and necessary preventative measures were not all compliant as prescribed in applicable national and international regulations. For example, some exit doors did not swing outward (to allow for easier exit) and others were missing exit signs. Workers handling heat guns for small repairs were not wearing the required safety carbon masks. Also, insulated gloves and one area where chemicals are used had no eye wash station nor in some cases were there posted explanatory posters of material safety data sheets (MSDS). On the other hand, the assessment brought up systemic challenges that are recurring in the electronics industry. Most notable to us from the sample records of May to September 2014 show that working hours exceeded 60 hours per week when production schedules were tight and there was a reported instance when some workers worked 28 days without a day off in July 2014. In addition to that, the workforce composition shows that an excessive portion of workers is not directly hired by Hi-P but are agency workers that are recruited by labor agencies.
Working with labor agencies assumes that agency workers don’t benefit fully from the employment relationship. Hi-P has less control to provide agency workers with continuous job security since the employment relationship is held by the agency.
After reviewing payroll records and interviews with workers, TAOS confirmed that workers are compensated at monthly rates and that the base wage, at RMB 1530, complies with the local minimum wage requirement. Take-home wages, which are comprised of the base wage, a performance bonus, overtime wage, job subsidy, as well as meal and night shift allowances, are higher and range between 2700 and 3700/month. This is after deduction of a social insurance contribution. Overtime is compensated according to labor law and both agency workers – who are paid through agencies – and direct-hire workers are provided with the legally mandated benefits including social insurance and paid leave and holidays.
The last point to highlight is the critical issue of genuine and effective worker representation. The facility has a Worker Representative Congress (WRC), suggestion boxes and an open-membership labor union, but the interviews indicate that workers feel that the issues they raise are not always acted upon by management in a satisfactory way to workers. Also, not all workers that are recruited by labor agencies say to have been properly informed about the option to join the site’s labor union.
Partnership improvement and worker empowerment
We take the above-mentioned findings seriously and they require strong commitment and follow-up monitoring both by Hi-P and Fairphone. For most of the issues, especially those relating to daily operations and health and safety, Hi-P worked with TAOS following the weeks after the assessment to create a list of actions to address them. Many of the issues mentioned above have by now been addressed by Hi-P. Fairphone will follow-up on these actions and update the status of each issue with accompanying sources for verification in the Improvement Plan.
Following up on the first assessment, Fairphone team members, most often our project manager Mulan, are regularly on-site to monitor progress. Lastly, TAOS will make additional unannounced follow-up visits to validate the status over the course of our partnership.
The fairphone 2 has an interrnal USB connecter on the back for TOH like extensions. DVL, who made the keyboard TOH for the Jolla is working on add-ons for the Fairphone 2.
Does systemd not replace the system log with a binary file that is unusable by every application that reads or writes to the system log?
No.
Does systemd not break the system administration tool chain?
No.
Does systemd not consume and discard STDERR making troubleshooting and debugging a masochist's delight?
No
Up until 14.04LTS everything dumps into/var/log/syslog, a standard text file. Beginning with 16.04LTS and thanks to systemd that is replaced by a binary file that is virtually inaccessible by everything else.
Run rsyslogd.
Won't bother with your boring crap about eth0. All my network interfaces have real names, which works with udev just like it used to.
That is a well written response. The real answer is "if you want to use your touch ID and it needs repair, it must be repaired by an Apple approved shop". Otherwise, turn off Touch ID and work without it. The OS gives you no other options
But that isn't what Apple do. They don't "turn off Touch ID and work without it" -- they brick the phone.
That is so true, after all, we can compare Apple's engineering to the better designed with easily replacable elements that so many Android phones... uh, well actually they don't have anything better... Oh yeah gotta get back to criticising Apple or the Android geeks will down vote me.
Well, I have a Fairphone 2, so yes, I feel free to criticize Apple on this one.
The GP asked "what happens if Facebook decides to decline doing business with the French citizens and France?". If Facebook declines to do business with French citizens then how can "French people and companies can still pay for FB ads". That's where Facebook loses money. Nobody likes losing money.
Why do people imagine that where the servers are is important? It's where facebook does business that's important.

The alternative was Romney. Even if you think Obama was no great shakes, at least he wasn't Mitt.

Why do so many people who are just plain wrong speak with such great authority?
DK. Too dumb to know he's dumb.
Tee hee, you have been trolled.
For $730 it's way too expensive.
Wow, the dollar has fallen further than I thought.
Nope, a quick check shows that EUR 525 is stil only USD 576.
I think you has made a Poe.
No. Wherever did you get that idea.

Fairphone 2 extends that idea to:
1. more interaction with the manufacturer to improve conditions for the workers
2. more repairability/upgradeability to extend the life of the phone.
Exactly like that.

Maybe you should RTFHeadline? The Fairphone 2 is touted as "the first modular phone".
Nothing modular about the Fairphone 1, so no upgrade.
European projects make phones that work in Europe, shock, horror.
Where are the Americans working on interesting ideas like this?
(If the neo900 ever gets built it will have one version with US frequencies)
Will it run Replicant (or another fully-open set of code)?
AOSP initialy,
Sailfish is being worked on.

your criticism is baseless and your judgement clearly faulty.

But it has to result in a DNS inquiry (so if your addresses are stored locally, you're ok)
So you're saying we should use a hosts file?
haha you are funny. BLISS had no I/O, that was all external calls. Guess where more vulnerabilities come into play?
All I/O is done with external calls in C too.
Of course Z00L00K is full of shit, BLISS is just as bad as C:

Bye bye memory safety.
Like, for example?
What are you blathering on about? One process writes the log file. There is no race condition.
