Going to be a little difficult to organize that in the next four months but I understand where you're coming from. If it were possible, I'd be in favor.
Also, FWIW, I'm more bothered about Chelsea Manning than Snowden (who at least is living "free", if not in his home country), who's facing intolerable treatment in jail, after doing much the same thing.
Yes, I'm sure she murdered all those people. Also that Whitewater thing must have been real, it's just, if only Ken Starr had had thirty nine point THREE million to spend on the investigation, rather than $39.2M, he'd have managed to get some evidence.
Devs say "It can't be done", or devs say "Given everything else on our plate, there's no way we'll get it in before the release date"?
There's a world of difference between the two, and that's why when customers start complaining about a particular bug, it gets fixed - not because devs were lazy the first time around, but because management cleared their time to work on it.
They mostly ignore it because it doesn't feed into "Hills is the corrupt one" narrative they've been running. Remember, Hillary is a crook while Trump is a racist, if you're the New York Times anyway. Balance! The fact that Hillary isn't, and Trump is both, is a minor detail, to be swept under the rug.
Trump is still that bad. Still so bad we'd rather hold our noses and vote for Clinton than let him get anywhere near the levers of power.
Nobody else stands a chance of winning against Trump. Nobody. Johnson will not win. Stein will not. It's Clinton or nothing.
Trump is much more of a proven crook than Hillary is, and a much bigger liar. Trump has just been fined for bribing the AG of Florida to call off an investigation into TrumpU FFS. Trump routinely signs contracts with suppliers knowing that he has no intention of paying them. Trump has known links to organized crime, and Mafia-run "Unions" built his buildings in the 1980s. In the 1970s, he was even caught running illegal discrimination schemes against black people who wanted to rent his properties.
Trump is running as a fascist. He's openly talked about expanding the libel laws to shut down criticism. He's repeatedly engaged in blood libel against ethnic minorities, and repeatedly attempted to scapegoat them for American problems. He's adopted and co-opted Alt-Right propaganda.
Let's understand what the choice is in November, because if we don't, that man's going to win. Clinton is, at worst, four more years of the same crap we've been whining about since forever. Trump will be to America what Berlusconi and Putin were to Italy and Russia.
It's exactly what it sounds like, a wire service for press releases. They just relay press releases in a way that's easy for newspapers etc to pick up.
I don't know, but it has to be the stupidest attempt to attack Clinton if it is an attempt to do so.
"Hey, you know the current election? The one between a crazy racist lunatic who fancies himself as the next Mussolini, and that woman you can't really stand because she doesn't come across as honest, and she's always embroiled in a scandal or two even if 99% of them are fake, but ultimately you just don't feel like she cares about anything you care about?
"You know how you were going to vote for that woman but were only doing it to keep out the lunatic, and even then you kinda felt like you didn't even want to turn up on election day?
"Well, heh, turns out she's about to die anyway, so if you vote for her you'll more than likely end up with her VP pick being President. You know, Kaine, the one who's far more progressive than she is and nobody's calling dishonest and nobody's trying to invent scandals about all the time."
Well, that's great! You just made it much easier to cast my vote for Clinton!
I wonder if it'd be in their best interests to do this this time, and use the FCC mandate as an excuse to work together and build a predictable, dependable, system.
I say this because cable is under a certain amount of pressure from Internet video services anyway. Even the TV providers are jumping in: I can get HBO on my Roku now, and the HBO I can get on my Roku would be significantly more useful than the version Dish Network offers me.
From their point of view, a chance to move away from clunky, confusing, service offerings, to an open system would make cable much more marketable in the Internet age.

That's doubly true of any non-technical people I know, who all simply use bluetooth for smaller external speakers and just do not connect phones to stereo systems at all.
I find the non-technical people I know use 3.5mm jacks to hook up their phones to car stereos. They don't like Bluetooth, it's fiddly and awkward and, if it's not your car, means you have to figure out how to pair with that model. 3.5mm "just works".
If you just keep waiting it could be nothing will ever change. If everyone waits, nothing will ever happen - by Apple doing this perhaps it will drive Android makers to form a standard.
First off, let's remember we're talking about setting a standard. Android phones already come with a "just works" digital hookup for headphones, and speakers, and 5.1 speakers, and whatever else you want - it's called a USB port.
There's a difference between Apple going first saying "Let's make a standard" and Apple going first and saying "Here's our proprietary way to do this." It certainly won't drive Android makers to encourage the use of the USB audio, because Apple's showing no signs of being prepared to adopt USB. And without universal adoption, you're just going to end up with a Betamax/VHS set of competing headphones, if Android phone makers went in that direction.
They won't, of course, they'll just carry on with the 3.5mm jack, for better or worse. I'm not a fan of 3.5mm - especially the hacky version we use today where slight voltage changes are used to signal "Play/pause/hangup/skip next track", and would like to see USB take off as a replacement. But, no, I don't see it taking off if the industry is split.
From my point of view, it's a poor implementation. Essentially most people will now have to carry two items around with them - a phone and a dongle - rather than just the one, or else not be able to hook the phone up to a standard audio system.
I also wish we'd wait for an agreed standard. Lightning is essentially a Apple-only standard. Lightning headsets will only ever work with Apple devices, we need a good common digital standard.
What I would do, if I had a million dollars, is produce an iPhone 7 case with the 3.5mm adapter built in. I'd also add USB (with charging available) just for completeness. Everyone buys cases for their phones anyway, and that'd resolve the entire problem so nobody has to carry around multiple adapters.
I'm not an audiophile me a long shot, indeed I regularly overcompress music because it sounds fine to me, but I've never heard music sound as good over a bluetooth connection - either to a car stereo or to my BT headphones - as it does with a wired connection. I have to assume some critical frequencies are being dropped or something.
Your slightly aged laptop probably has a built-in H.264 decoder, which will skew the results somewhat. Most graphic chipsets for the last eight years have included the functionality.
Because that's not true. It was assumed it wouldn't be abused because DMCA notice filers have to submit a signed affidavit claiming they're a legitimate representative of the copyright holder. Technically, filing an affidavit in bad faith is contempt of court. In practice, that's almost impossible to prove, especially when it comes to automated takedowns.
One of the current standards, I forget which, actually has the entire PCI-E bus on it, and I can't remember if basic HDMI has USB on it or if they're still talking about it, but either way I don't think things are heading in the direction you'd prefer;-)
If it's a lie, then the relevant regulator has every right to ban it. And justifying fraud by pointing at other instances of fraud (that the FDA isn't even mandated to regulate) isn't actually a good argument...
It's OK, they're not banning soap, just additives that are unlikely to be anti-bacterial and, if they are, may be causing more problems than it's worth.
No. No it doesn't. I don't know where you got that from. I'm not even sure I understand the thought process that would lead someone to this conclusion.
If when you view something it appears yellowed (to you, and not to anyone else), that's a sign that you're receiving (or processing) less blue light, that's all.

It really is a shame that Samsung only makes one model of phone, and that nobody else is willing to compete with them except for Apple.
Going to be a little difficult to organize that in the next four months but I understand where you're coming from. If it were possible, I'd be in favor.

If Clinton croaks, we get Kaine.
If McCain had croaked, we would have gotten Palin.
Not the same ballpark.
They mostly ignore it because it doesn't feed into "Hills is the corrupt one" narrative they've been running. Remember, Hillary is a crook while Trump is a racist, if you're the New York Times anyway. Balance! The fact that Hillary isn't, and Trump is both, is a minor detail, to be swept under the rug.
That said, reports do surface here and there. Trump himself has boasted of bribing politicians on the campaign trail, so it's not like this is a secret. And rather a lot of people have been pointing at the media and asking them why they've barely mentioned Trump's IRS fine for bribing the AG of Florida (to get her to drop her charges against Trump U, which she did.)
I'd rather Amazon "spied" on me, than my creepy next door neighbor with the binoculars.
Let's suppose you're right.
Trump is still that bad. Still so bad we'd rather hold our noses and vote for Clinton than let him get anywhere near the levers of power.

How is that any different from a friend copying a tape from the radio so I can listen to a song that I'd totally buy if I like it?
Hey, anyone have a car analogy?
I find the non-technical people I know use 3.5mm jacks to hook up their phones to car stereos. They don't like Bluetooth, it's fiddly and awkward and, if it's not your car, means you have to figure out how to pair with that model. 3.5mm "just works".

At what bitrate? Because ADPCM at a low enough bit rate is going to sound way more crappy than MP3 at the same bitrate.
I'm not an audiophile me a long shot, indeed I regularly overcompress music because it sounds fine to me, but I've never heard music sound as good over a bluetooth connection - either to a car stereo or to my BT headphones - as it does with a wired connection. I have to assume some critical frequencies are being dropped or something.
To be fair, it's been a while since there was anything worth leaking - higher resolution screens and more CPU isn't exactly headline stealing.
This one however - this is the one everyone's convinced will be shipped sans headphone jack. That's a headline.

I read the study and apparently us Android users are also calmer, and less likely to get angry and argumentative reading news items...
No. No it doesn't. I don't know where you got that from. I'm not even sure I understand the thought process that would lead someone to this conclusion.
