  1. Re:Feature Request on Android M To Embrace USB Type-C and MIDI · · Score: 1

    iOS also places many more limits on data available to apps. For example, apps on iOS cannot read text messages. On Android, apps can, and I know of apps that send verification codes via SMS that read incoming texts and automatically verify the user.

    You're a truly ignorant little cunt, aren't you?

    Unless your S6 is worse than the iPhone, the battery is replaceable. But as the phone will probably be junked before the battery can no longer hold a decent charge, it really doesn't matter. And if the battery goes that quickly, maybe you should learn how and when to charge a LiOn battery.

    The only people who hate Apple users so much are self-absorbed fuck-wads like yourself.

    Immolate yourself. You'll feel better.

  5. Re:Of course the majority will be from Android on The Tricky Road Ahead For Android Gets Even Trickier · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You have a tenuous grasp of reality. Nobody will give a shit if an Apple contractor sells user secrets to China. Not that the scenario even makes sense. Who in China would be interested in whatever data Apple has on its customers? People still shop at Target or any number of other stores who have actually caused financial harm to their customers.

    Nobody except for some self-righteous hipster idiot left Apple over the U2 incident. Apple is still raking in profits faster than they could possibly spend them.

    In short, you're a fucking moron.

    Pedophilia is only bad because society decided it was bad. Before we decided it was bad, it wasn't. There's no proof that there is any psychological damage to children who engage in sexual acts with adults that isn't caused by how such children are treated by other adults, and how sex in general is treated. In other words, children feel violated because they are treated as having been violated. If you convince a child to eat an ice cream cone, we don't consider that abuse, even if they wouldn't have eaten it without your encouragement. It is only because we view sex as requiring some higher level of acquiescence that the idea of statutory rape can exist.

    Don't treat children as victims and they won't feel they are victims. Sex is physically-induced pleasure. Like a good massage.

    To clarify: the iPhone has been out for (almost) 8 years, and only now the offending string was found.

    No testing provides 100% coverage, especially for the number of combinations of possible Unicode characters in a 160-character/byte message. Only a complete moron would blame this bug on lack of testing.

    Apple's NSString implementation is at least 15 years old. Sure it's been improved over the years, but it's not like Apple's a newcomer to parsing Unicode.

    Bugs happen.

    Right. They never bothered testing for a particular string that was found 8 years after the iPhone's release.

    Seems like completely normal handling to me. Some shit head ran into a group of people, and Volvo said, "not our fault." What the fuck would you expect them to say? "Sorry we didn't foresee some murderous idiot showing off his new car and force him to buy an upgrade."

    You don't seem all that intelligent to me. Were you hit in the head by a Volvo, by any chance?

  19. I guess you got hit by a Volvo when you were younger. That would explain the extreme level of sheer idiocy you have demonstrated.

    You are wrong. OEMs charge money to preinstall software (trial-ware, most of it). They can do that on Windows, but not on Linux. Thus, it actually ends up costing more (in terms of opportunity costs) to install Linux over Windows.
