Yeah! The balmy tropical days under the palms, with cooling sea breezes and spectacular ocean views will break all but the most callous, inhumane terrorists!
But for those few who still cling to their criminal ways after a year-long tropical holiday, we'll use our secret weapons: A year a the Hotel Fontainebleau Miami Beach combined with a generous cash allowance and a Ferrari GT will break them. It never fails!
About a month after purchase, my wife's iPhone 4S decided that something was permanently plugged into the dock port so it refused to make any audible sound.
I took it to the Apple store and was told to come back at a certain time (about an hour later). So I went and had lunch and then came back at the appointed time. About 5 minutes later my name was called. The genius bar guy spent about 10 minutes fiddling with the phone and then went to the back and came back with a new on. He wanted me to setup the new phone and sync contacts, etc in the store so he could make sure everything was ok. That took about 15 minutes. Then I went home with a new phone.
Be very careful when participating in this type of activity, because if you really annoy Al Qaida terrorists, they try to get revenge in some way.
For example, they might DDoS your server, or dox you, of any number of other similarly terrifying acts.
I'm right with you, brother!
It's about time someone recognized that we need a self-compiled version of Android for efficiency.
When you go to sleep, you just plug in your phone, skate over to the build app, and tap "rebuild" - all the newest code is automatically downloaded, compiled, and installed so that the OS is always up to date and optimized for your particular system.
If Google would only do this, Apple would be totally left in the dust and be a distant memory. No one would want to buy an iPhone if they could compile their own Android kernels and userland every night.
Are we talking about source code size, or the actual binary footprint on any individual supported system? In other words, does an ARM SoC running Linux get bloated down by the unnecessary PowerPC (!) support code?
And that's not the worst of it: You still have to find room in flash for all the Alpha, Mips, and even VAX (yes, even that!) code.
It's kind of a pain, but necessary for backwards compatibility.
The most exciting news out of Comic-Con so far for me has been Neil Gaiman announcing his Sandman prequel. Official announcement video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GndnR7oSYYk
That was truly very exciting. I couldn't contain myself.
I thought she was on her way to listen to the lecture by renowned comic critic Dr. Ramone Smith, who was to lecture on the topic: "A Hegelian Analysis of Action Comics nos. 1-50", but who, upon hearing the news of the old woman's untimely death, instead ran into the street and threw himself under a passing sanitation truck in order to restore the cosmic balance of the universe.
They're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Give Windows 8 users a real email client and cannibalize Outlook/Office sales
Give Windows 8 users a stripped down client and get pilloried in the press and taken to the woodshed by Apple.
Good ol' Microsoft internal politics at its finest.
Apple will go back to identifying products that are EPEAT compliant as such, which lets Apple sell those products to organizations that require that certification. The retina MBP is not one of these...
Really? The EPEAT Gold Certified retina MBP isn't one of those?
Wait a minute, I don't understand this...
While I agree fully with you that George W. was the reincarnation of Hitler, and The Republican Party are definitely the heirs of Naziism,
what has that got to do with this article, which is about the current President (long may he reign) taking steps to preserve liberty and expand opportunity for everyone?
Of course, doing so would also piss off pretty much the entire planet, because it would likely knock out hundreds of satellites and disrupt world-wide communications for weeks or months afterwards, and space travel for (potentially) years. So anyone who wants to pull something like that off has to be willing to face the military wrath of more or less the entire planet afterwards.
Well I think we're up for that.
The first words out of our mouth when everyone else gets angry: Hey we've got a lot more where that came from!
Here's how crazy of an effect nuclear bombs have had on our atmosphere. Basically, artifacts from the latter half of the 20th century and much of the 21st century will not be able to be reliably carbon dated in the future.

I had an iBook that required almost total dis-assembly just to replace the hard drive
G4 iBook. Been there. Done that.

It was pretty much painless.
I use it every time I travel on business.
They're the best car rental in my opinion.
You know those inscrutable aliens in sci-fi films that have indecipherable glyphs on the sides of their spaceships: They're Chinese.

The thing about defaults is... brace yourself... they can be changed!
Maybe this time they can. Next time, maybe not.
> I have a 8 Meg system and also am having problems compiling fork.c.
>I would have thought that would have been sufficient....
No wonder this guy is having a problem.
He's an idiot! You can't even RUN Linux with 8 Megs much less compile it!
Kilometers suck because 100 Km/h is too slow to be such a nice round number.

Sounds like the kernel could use a good refactoring.
Let's recode the whole thing, and this time, we'll do it RIGHT!
The sad part is that you probably don't even realize you're despicable.
No, no! you said that wrong!
You're supposed to say it like this: "You'rrrrrreeee DITH-PICABLE!"

Lots of fat white people.
Hey I once thought comics were cool. Then I turned 13 and discovered girls. Never been back to comics since.
Then you discovered Slashdot. Never been back to girls since.

There won't be several million "apps" unless you count each of the tetris and minesweeper clones separately.

Wow what a disaster! If only we had known!
Most countries now have a ban on having humans as slaves so why not have a ban on animals as slave as well?
Because that would be stupid.
