  1. Hopefully there is no such plan and no company said there would agree to it. So you basically fell into the trap. This is just FUD to try to make people believe Trump has such a plan for muslims, which he doesn't.

    +5, Insightful indeed...

  2. Trump's Muslim tracking plan

    You can bitch all you want on this piece of garbage-journalism, they still got into your head making you believe there is such a plan. This is classic persuasion. Make people think about what should be their reaction *if* something would happen. You start thinking about your reaction and before you know it you've taken the something for granted.

  3. I firmly suggest you listen to all the words in that video and realize that, despite the youtube description of the video, at no point is Donald Trump talking about a registry or a database for muslims. And you have the guts to point us to a video that disprove your point... Well done dude.

  4. We had one quite different with a Lotus Notes server. Our time server rebooted and it's motherboard battery was empty, so it basically rebooted to 1971. So the Lotus Notes server's clock was suddenly set to 1971 and when they changed the clock back Lotus went crazy and started resending every fucking email it had in storage over again. I received my welcome mail 20 minutes later and everyone was flooded with old emails for hours. It took a while to delete all of that junk.

    He ran a campaign on lies, ignorance, and hatred.

    Open your eyes, your mind and realize the same can be said about Hillary. She even paid people to create riots at Trump's rallies, so I'd say she deserves this sentence even more than Trump. But hey, freedom of tought...

    The summary answers your questions, and also answers the same questions for âtop-level domain names.

    It answers the question, yes, but how many times ?

    What you say is that some "good conscience" grey hats need to write robots that hack through those devices and brick them ? That could work. But then you need to protect yourself pretty well, cause the day one of those manufacturers get a hold of you you're going to get sued down to oblivion.

  8. Still there? on Microsoft Unveils $37 Nokia 216 Feature Phone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I keep reading here and there that they're stopping Nokia and Windows Phone, and what do you know... The entirety of the 12 people using Windows phone will be thrilled. That's for sure. As for the rest...

    To be honest, and when you look at the poor state of the country, I think 14 is a pretty decent number. I mean, that's just north of the number of domain names I own, so they're more prolific than me.

    That should count for something, no?

    I have CarPlay and noticed no issues. I plugged in my iPhone and things worked as expected with iOS10.

    The OP looks more like a troll and an Android shill than anything remotely insightful or even informative.

  11. What was said during the keynote is that all 4 cores will never run simultaneously. Either both fast cores are on or the low power ones.

    DNC chairperson Wasserman-Shultz will be reward for her loyalty and service once Hillary gets into office.

    Still think Hillary will get into office? Think again. It's getting less and less likely by the day now.

    All arguments you give against Trump can be made against Clinton as well, and more often than not they are worse against Clinton.

    I'm not an american and thus I won't get to vote on this issue. But I seriously think Trump would be much better for America than Clinton. Clinton will be the same old same old that has been slowly screwing the country over decades. Se will want to place friends and to please everyone in her party. That's screwing any chance of seeing a deep reform.

    Trump has the good idea of being new blood. He's already wealthy beyond his own needs and I (personnally) think he will be in a position to do more reforms that Hillary ever will be.

    And no, he is not crazy, nor racist.

    That said, as I mentionned I will not vote and I'm only throwing an external eye at the issue.

  14. Re:DRM for the win again! on Kobo Customers Losing Books From Their Libraries After Software Upgrade (teleread.com) · · Score: 2

    Abiding by the law is - in general - simpler than not doing it. Think taxes. Declaring your revenue and paying local, state and federal taxes every year is a burden. Not doing it is much easier.

    Think driving. Not respecting speed limits, lights, stop signs is a lot simpler than doing it.

    In the virtual world it's also the case for now. It's fundamentally stupid as in the virtual world there really is no need for it to be this way... But it's not something that has to be singled out.

    Communication standards do not evolve that fast. My iPhone first gen still works like a charm - I used it a few weeks ago for a few days when I forgot my 4S in my parent's car. Sure it's Edge and an antiquated version of Wifi and bluetooth, but all of them still work like a charm. SMS, Calls, data, wifi and bluetooth all work just fine on a phone that's 9 years old.

    I find my Ubuntu desktop (and laptops) perfectly fine except for one thing: The GC drivers / X Windows sucks like nothing I've seen before. I've tried all three vendors (nVidia, AMD, Intel) and while Intel is the best by a wide margin, I sometimes find myself having to reboot because the whole thing is just frozen. I can even generate it. Just play 2h of Minecraft (I have kids) and ALL GC will crash down in flames. Not to mention the CPU it uses to just look at a video on YouTube.

    Well, maybe it's me. But I'd love to hear another story (A successful one)

    You could also give your Dad the code to your iPhone, specially when you're fighting cancer and could die literally any minute.

    If he didn't do it, it *might* be because he wouldn't have wanted his dad anywhere near his phone. But we'll never know now, will we ?

    An interface is very akin to a language. It defines a set of rules by which two entities (two programs in this case) can communicate. It's the same with natural languages. Then ask yourself: Is it possible to copyright Esperanto? If so, what happens when someone copyrights English ?

    Interfaces define the way we can express ourselves.

  20. No. It tells me that "some" people are ignorant and racists. I restrain to add stupid as I believe that they are willfully misguiding their intellects for selfish primitive instincts they choose not to to keep in check.

    No, Trump is a master at persuasion. It is a language based technique to persuade other people. His ideas actually don't metter all that much. Read Scott Adam's blog for more details here: http://blog.dilbert.com/

    It goes way back, search for trump and read the oldest. He describes Trump's technique in great details.

    The problem is not in the companies abusing the system, it's in the system for setting up such a business model. The more laws in place, the more fuckups like this one. The problem is that these companies are shielded by the law, so theu're hard do counter fight.

    I'm not advocating a zero-laws system, but there are clearly too much things in place. We don't need more of it, we need less.

  23. Re:This is how it begins on France Using Emergency Powers To Prevent Climate Change Protests (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you really think France, and especially the French, would accept a "state of emergency" lasting years?

    No, they will make the measures permanent like every other country that has reduced civil liberties. When?

    This isn't the first time France has declared state of emergency, an the previous times it was removed when it expired.

    But feel free to enjoy your ideologicaly inspired cynicism.

    The first thing they did after declaring the state of emergency was to amend it so it could last 9 times as long as it was originally allowed. But sure, they intend for it to be temporary. Apart from the fact that they are already talking about extending it again.
