  1. Re:Suggestions anyone? on FBI Unlocks iPhone Without Apple's Help In San Bernadino Case (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Your reasoning is faulty. There is no jailbreak that can affect a device which is locked without wiping the device, and certainly not the drive-by versions. Also, Apple's marketing has never referred to the security of the device, except perhaps in passing. The percentage of their customers with enough knowledge of this case to care, but not understand the difference, is so small as to be statistically irrelevant.

    Apple already released a phone with better security -- the iPhone 5s (and all later models). This happened several years ago. You really should pay attention to reality, if you're going to bother spouting off.

    It takes bullshit to spot bullshit. In this case, however, the only bullshit you're seeing is a bit that fell over your eye.

    With any luck, you will fumble the sd card the next time you try to insert it, and manage to yawn at the same time, causing the card to enter your trachea, where it will be stuck until you choke to death.

    A shame we won't be so lucky.

    If you slammed a steel bar through your skull, you wouldn't care so much about the posting habits of others. And, if I should happen to be wrong about that, it's OK, because you'd be dead. It's a win for society either way!

  8. A hell of a lot of programmers are hourly. Where the fuck do you get the idea that only "very few" are? Lots of contractors are hourly because the contracting firms are paid by their clients only for hours worked.

    Josephus, the most credible historian of the time, doesn't mention Jesus even once. There are a few phrases that might refer to him in his writings, but are considered to be late additions by a Christian editor, and not the words of Josephus at all.

    Given the number of companies making the news for firing workers in order to (illegally) replace them with H1Bs, it's entirely safe to say that supply isn't the problem, unless one of your critical factors is the cost of said supply.

    You are a complete and total moron. There is no way in which you could possibly be more so.

    Stupid idiots like you "forget" that having a new connector available does not require replacing all equipment that uses the old connector. Get new cables. Even today, we have USB cables with mini/micro on one end, and full-size on the other. Same for HDMI. Mini-DP to VGA/DVI/HDMI. This stuff isn't difficult, and it's been done dozens of times.

    Right. The farmers who use those seeds did a cost-benefit analysis, and when that showed it would cost them significantly more, they yelled "hell, yeah!" and bought all they could find.

    Why do people think farmers are idiots? Projecting, is my guess.

    Umm, either the tomato has gluten or it doesn't. You don't put on a label that reads "GMO-produced gluten", you just print "contains: gluten". If your tomato triggers peanut allergies, you take it off the market, because you screwed up.
