Probably because you need to drain power to the clock and a hard reset doesn't do that?
That assumes that Apple don't have a backup power source for the clock in the not-too-unlikely even that the battery runs out of charge. There are digital cameras that will keep time accurately over several months with a completely flat battery, so I'd expect something similar from a phone.
Fire up an Arduino that scans the WLAN for Apple OUIs and send them a WOL every five seconds (Project SHITWEASEL), that runs down the battery in no time.
It's good for techies, but not usable for relatively non-technical people. The Windows photo manager, which I consider horribly annoying and dumbed-down, isn't actually a bad option for people like family members who just want to sort their photos. Unfortunately while MS have put a ton of effort into getting the point-and-drool right, they've more or less ignored things like EXIF support (picture orientation, tagging, and so on), which makes it a lot more work to use than it should be.
Did they ever get it to the point where it wouldn't crash instantly if it wasn't running as admin? I looked at it ages ago as an easy-to-use photo app for my parents, but it crashed on startup if run from a non-admin account. Google's response to repeated bug reports from users about this was "yeah, well, meh", and there was no way I was giving my parents admin on their PCs, otherwise I'd be doing a four-hour drive every few days to rebuild them.
That's a modern US warhead. The Unha is an updated mix of Rodong/Nodong rockets which are scaled-up Scuds which are basically V2s, so they're not exactly using the most modern technology. I would imagine their warhead technology is at about the same level, some WWII-era gun-type assembly or something. Given their yields (a couple of kT, when they don't fizzle), it seems unlikely it's even something as, uh, "sophisticated" as boosted fission. All speculation obviously, but my guess is they have some 1940s-vintage monster of a device that's not even remotely suited for delivery by air. Stick it on a freighter and sail it into San Francisco bay would be a better option.
I keep telling my wife that this is why I want to install a really loud air horn in my car, think semi truck loud, but she says no.
I tried to do the same thing, but was told I wasn't allowed a K5LA, my air horn of choice. Having to fill the trunk with the compressor was only one of the objections.
Now and for decades to come, North Korea would be very unlikely to use an ICBM/IRBM to launch a nuclear bomb.
Well, not unless they've invented a Golfball of Doom. The throw weight on an Unha is pretty pathetic, and in any case it's not suitable in its current config as an ICBM.
I'm actually sad to see it go, block Flash and there go all your ads. Now that Google is allowing them to sneak in with HTML5, the ease of blocking is gone.
Which is perhaps one reason why Google, which makes its money from ads, is doing it...
If you're serious, I would use a rotary converter. Failing that, at least a ferroresonant power conditioner. That should allow you to plug into just about any dodgy power source without worrying about frying things.
Ya, as long as you don't need a Cray supercomputer to run Windows and Office... wait, you only mentioned Windows.
Crays, or at least the real Seymour-designed ones, would run both Windows and Office quite badly. Remember that they were designed as vector supercomputers, not scalar ones. The first time I used a Y-MP I was surprised at just how slow it was compared to the desktop workstation I'd been using. They don't make good general-purposes computers (which isn't surprising, they weren't meant to be).
I've done a lot of neat stuff with powershell, for example I created a powershell script that gathered information about one system (using the Get-WmiObject Win32_SystemEnclosure to retrieve i.e. a computer's brand name, serial number, bios version, etc) and opened a TCP socket to feed that information to another system across the network that had a listening server which was also written in powershell.
Have the user create a username and password and use RFC 7617 basic authentication. Or have the user create a TLS client certificate.
teach me how to logout (note: "close your browser" is not an acceptable answer) and I might stop despising basic authentication.
Haven't you read the original RFC? it says:
The scheme name is "Basic".
What you're asking for is in the upcoming "Extended" authentication scheme, RFC 13,617, due out in September 2030 (15 years between updates, 2617 -> 7617).
Perhaps they're not content with grabbing all your data from Windows and now want it from Android as well? I wonder how long Swiftkey's statistics-gathering will remain opt-out?
Suppose we get in a discussion and I don't agree with your points I could anonymously (!) mod you down which would destroy the discussion.
Suppose we don't get in a discussion and I don't agree with your points I could anonymously (!) mod you down which would destroy the discussion. That's currently permitted, and it has the same effect.
Ah, OK. I've only ever read Slashdot with Noscript because that's the only way to make it usable, I want to read threads, not click and shuffle and click and click and select and click again just to see everything.
So that's perhaps another biggie, at least as big as Unicode: Have a "just show me the damn discussion" mode where, if I click on a link to an article, I get to see all comments within my pre-selected threshold limits.
(I've been using Noscript on Slashdot for so long I forgot that there's an annoying alternative interface to it).

And then your phone bricks itself with an Error 53 for not having the work done by an Apple tech...

Single again are you? I wonder why...
No...I have plenty of girlfriends and those I can and do date as I please.
Your left and right hand don't, strictly speaking, count as girlfriends.
That's why land mines were invented.
Land mine, land yours, land theirs, it's all just a matter of grammar.

We need those guys even more than we did before the original question was answered.
Climate scientists aren't qualified to answer most of those questions; you need to hire economists and agronomists.
Particularly when they're consultants for Koch Industries and the like, they're guaranteed to provide clear, unbiased advice.

I for one welcome our new soft cuddly robot overlords.

You work for Microsoft on Windows 10 then?

Congress naming that a "Data Privacy Bill" is along the same lines as them naming something an "Orbiting Peace Platform".
Now get up to the scale where my fingers can actually fit on a keyboard, physical keyboard wins hands down for speed and accuracy.
Bluetooth keyboards. They're easy enough to find.
I use one of these Bluetooth keyboards. It's nice to type on, but has got me some strange looks on the bus.
Swiftkey is still a helluva lot better than the Google native one. And every time I use Apple's keyboard I feel like I've stepped back into the past.
Swiftkey is a pretty good product. Sad to see it in the hands of Redmond.

I was really tempted to reply to my own post from the account "sockpuppet1234" saying "Mod parent up!".
The real question though is, what's the threat? What's being defended against?
