"Russia’s Interfax news service, citing a “person familiar with the situation,” reported that Mr. Snowden would remain in transit at an airport in Moscow for “several hours” pending an onward flight to Cuba, and would therefore not formally cross the Russian border or be subject to detention."
-SVN has much better visual tools and is simpler to operate
If your employees can't operate git, you should fire them.
-SVN has a simpler merge policies which are friendlier when there isn't a central person pulling the changes.
You can use git the same way, but svn doesn't support the workflow flexibility git does.
-SVN is very friendly for projects with a lot of binary objects (ie videogames)
I have gigabytes of binary stuff in git, no issues.
-SVN allows different people to work on different directories individually, GIT doesn't.
The biggest improvement with distributed source control is that users can work parallel, even on the same files. Try editing the same file on svn, see what happens. On this point, git definitely wins big time.
-SVN has fine grained permissions, access and authentication controls, very useful when parts of your project (ie, APIs) are under NDA or you don't want them to leak.
Same as your first point. You need competent people in your workplace. You can do the same with git.
I started with mercurial, and loved it. Git seemed too much trouble, but I found some features that made me switch and never look back:
- named, super fast branching
- merge multiple branches (only two at a time in mercurial)
- speed
- progress indicator on push/pull/clone (maybe this has improved in mercurial, but I used to sit staring at a blinking cursor for minutes wondering when/if the operation will finish)

RTFM. Seriously. You don't need to rebase to update to the latest version. In fact if you are rebasing, you are doing it dead wrong. Just merge the upstream branch with yours.
Also, git on Windows works perfectly. I use it every day with github and my local gitosis server (running on linux).
a; Malicious theft reporting, like the ex boyfriend gets the ex girlfriend's phone locked.
b; iphones are just not that attractive anymore. Obviously samsung with the s4, note2, htc one, nokia lumias, sonys, hell, even the new blackberries look better than the iphones. A couple of years ago it probably would've made some sense, but not anymore.
c; End of jailbreaking? Seriously? A story from slashdot's own editor, at the place for open source software and hardware?
This would be totally fine, if only they would not also use their patents for protecting the turf they can't innovate on anymore (eg. rounded rectangle).
Wow, that would deal the final blow for Apple. Taking away their way of innovation, I mean patenting the obvious and free, filing suits for rounded corners.
Strategies:
1. Sell all AAPL.
2. Don't panic, there are enough shitheads paid by Apple to pay off politicians, like Al "only your private jet causes global warming' Gore, so nothing will happen (while Al circles the globe a couple times, private jet style).
Ads. User tracking. Just look at the simplest page, it will probably have thousands of lines of javascript code, ping facebook and 15 other anti social networks and also load huge images and html5 video at the same time.

From NYT:
"Russia’s Interfax news service, citing a “person familiar with the situation,” reported that Mr. Snowden would remain in transit at an airport in Moscow for “several hours” pending an onward flight to Cuba, and would therefore not formally cross the Russian border or be subject to detention."
That is to use anti-NSA measures for communication.
On a side note, even just trying to read the example on the website gave me a headache. And I bet an OCR could read it much much faster than me.

This is a great comparison article. Nothing wrong with mercurial, but going back would make me miss the things from above.

Doesn't most reliable make your network the fastest? What's the point of having 20% extra speed if you lose 50% of the packets?
Democratic elections are also decided by "fanboys and trolls". Campaigning is the art of getting most of them on your side.
If you need to ask the question, you'll never understand the answer.

Stopped reading right there.
I thought they sat in a dark room all day with a black t-shirt that says do not expose to sun.

But why would you want to do that? Apparently it's perfect.

BS. They don't take your knife, they let you check it. Your water, sure, they throw that out. But they won't take your dad's Swiss Army.

- training in iPhone photography
- firing of the photography staff
- iPhone as a replacement for fancy, expensive DSLRs
I know it's the thing to do to call google evil and whatnot. Maybe they even do some evil.
But what if they got into the browser support partly because they thought all the other browsers out there sucked?
And what makes you think that Apple, MS, and Mozilla not "track" you? They all do. Even slashdot does. Don't like it, don't use it.

Buy more ram. It's cheap. You'll be much happier, and not just with chrome.
On the other hand, what memory holes? I run chrome for weeks, no issues whatsoever.
You mean outlook.com. No more hotmail.
That's not chrome's fault. User error, as always, for browsing the web without adblock, flashblock and plugins on autoload.
Yes. I mean no, much worse than that.
AOL reads your messages. Google reads your messages. Facebook reads your messages. Apple reads your messages. Microsoft reads your messages.
How is this news? The price for free IM is that they read your messages and sell the info they gather to advertisers.
Good catch. I'm pretty sure Intel missed the heat issue. You should call them.
