    > still use internally hosted IRC quite a bit.

    As someone that's used IRC for over twenty-six years, I'd love to use it at work, but I don't think there are any good iOS IRC apps with notifications. The Facebook app is very low power and the notifications are reliable. All of the other chat apps we tried either used so much power they made our phones warm to the touch, or they missed notifications. I have to use Skype to talk to my wife, and it kills my battery in less than thirty minutes. Facebook's chat doesn't have a noticeable effect on battery life.

    Try explaining and getting others to use UseNet.

    if anyone's truly worried about vw/audi failing emissions... based on what the computers have to report about it, tailpipe-test them and see if they are lying.

    Was a time a Volkswagen had no concerns. They were exempt from a California emissions sticker others had to get.

    Older models weren't able to pass the test due to it's air cooling.

    Instead, it's mere control of your personal property, and therefore owned by the corporations. Individuals should never be allowed to wield such power - they simply can't be trusted not to infringe on the profits of the corporate elite.

    Name any Android Device OEM that has a corporate policy of "C'mon and Root Us! We'll show you how! Right there on Page 86 of the User Manual.". Maybe Nexus phones; but that is about it, I would guess. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if they don't explicitly endorse "Rooting", either.

    That would of been Google; till their recent privacy policy that "prohibits" such activity now, they actively sought out "hackers" (sent them the phone) to root the phone so ROMs would be available for it when released.

    No cite I've looked before and can't find it now. Had a Xoom tablet (Motorola, Google) and came across that fact in my searches. It would of been a Moto though.

    So, in other words, every single mobile OEM now has EXACTLY the same policy regarding rooting. So I NEVER want to see Apple singled-out on this topic, EVER AGAIN.

    The unfounded Apple hate around here is absolutely asinine.

    The question was name any.

  16. Re:God damn it, what a tragedy the loss of HP is.. on HP To Jettison Up To 30,000 Jobs As Part of Spinoff · · Score: 0

    A little detail that isn't often mentioned. In the 1980s or thereabouts, everything HP advertised was real. They never played the vaporware game, they never cheated just a bit on timing the ads. If you saw the ad in a magazine, it was finished, it was real, you could order it, it would arrive in a week or two--and it would work the way it was supposed to and meet all the specs. This, in a day when their competitors would run ads based on models or empty cases up to six months before the product was finished.

    Then one day the power supply needs replaced and it's proprietary with no substitute available, nope never cared for HP computers.

    My information has been hacked two times (three but I can't remember who it was), as a veteran, and as a government employee. At least with OPM you know who has it.

    After my clearance was issued I obtained it through the freedom of information act. Great reference material (we moved a lot).

    I searched for this but came up empty. Could you post copyright notice you received?

    This is a hard request. I can't find the video on youtube so need to log into my youtube account, which I can't seem to do.

    Then it gets deeper; Google Domains and usage of Webtools under the same account hardwired (as in being routed) the two I use the most into one. I think I've lost control of the two accounts, I need to dig further.

    You'd be looking for Trax852 or II-Trax-II, remarks would mention "f-35 going under a bridge "Gulf of Ohman"" any DRM issues are addressed with that account; some icon gets your attention.

    They aren't asking for it's removal but that it can now be used by *.* for advertisement purposes outside of my control. the claim addressed EA.com (released BF3) who passed ownership to another company.

    I found the video on my hard drive, but if I can't find it on youtube I imagine I just removed it as I don't do ads on videos.

    Because YouTube is also home to hundreds of thousands of pieces of pirated material on any given day.

    I captured a video from Battle Field 3, flying the F-35. The F-35 has a warning tone when damaged, some company claimed rights to this sound; allowing them to place ads on that video (which as far as I can tell haven't done yet - but it sees little traffic).
