But what about initiating a reset and intercepting the email and then performing the reset yourself. The procedure is still not safe from the Man in the Middle attack.
Any time your data can be sniffed you are in danger. This isn't an issue specific to any OS or software manufacturer. Sure, there are things we can do to limit the damages such as releasing bug free software (maybe in 3014) but until then we either live with the consequences or encrypt all network data except broadcasts intended for everyone to see.
On the down side, encrypting everything limits debugging of the data and increases overhead on both the line and the processors involved.
The Forget My Password feature many sites offer if intercepted is just as dangerous for the user. The issue isn't MS here, it's the nature of our current open infrastructure. Although I'm sure there is a solution I don't know what it is and how easy it is deployed to secure all transmissions, not just Microsoft's .
I can assure you they aren't ignored by Microsoft. Many fixes stem from these reports. If you were a programmer you would understand why it's important and why they don't handle every single message received.
I don't mean to be rude but that is an ignorant statement. Based on your statement we should all be using Calculators since it's probably the only device you don't risk having data stolen from.
I agree. Apple has not provided that opportunity and I would tend to say it's because most users would turn it down. Ownership of software isn't not viable, you need to support the development or live with it.:(
Wait a second!!! Are you guys telling me that a company should continue to support software on devices not sold for over 2 years? Why is it reasonable for a user to expect this? You don't get this anywhere from any product manufacturer. If you want continuous updates you have to pay for a subscription. That's how many software and hardware packages work.
At the end of the day there is a cost to providing up to date software on legacy devices. Unless you are willing to pay a subscription fee for a group of developer to continue moving the software forward, I don't see one company that will do this for free.
This is one of the reasons why many tech users rave about the Android phones. They can be modified to work and as long as there's a few goofs out there willing to make it work, you'll have updates. But again, that's specific to the geeks who can figure it out. Don't expect my mom or dad to do this even if they do own an android device.
I apologize for being a d*ck as that's exactly what I was.
I'll give you one thing. The crime rate in the US is 1/2 of Canada's. It still doesn't justify the 47 000 annual murders by firearm stats readily available online.
You deter robberies and other petty crimes with guns but the US has 3 times more deaths per capita than Canada. Instead of buying 5 000 000 guns per year the US should increase it's taxes and put it back in the system where it's needed. This being health care, social programs and jobs. By increasing the level of living of people to remove the need to fight for a living.
That's because he lives in the US where non sense is common sense. The fact that you can sew for being hit from behind and get ridiculous payouts if you get the right person to hit you is crap. I know in Canada there are limits to how much one driver can sew another one.
To consider law non ethical for a very minuscule percentage of accidents is silly. We don't build laws for the 0.000001% of cases but rather a number closer to 95%.
I think it mostly restricts capitalisms. More accessories sold = more profit for companies. A standard adapter should reduce cost to uesrs. Unfortunately our society doesn't give a damn about reusing. We have a throw away mentality (me included).
A standard can evolve with technology requirements.
I like what you wrote. This reminds me of a guy who rear ended my car and blamed me for it. He was 4 - 5 feet behind me going 70km/h before I started braking. Yes I did break suddenly and it was due to a minor lack of attention (I was looking in my rear view mirror trying to understand why he was tailing me).
The other driver argued with the cop about how it was my fault and the cop told him the following: "No matter how hard or what reason the person in front of you stops, it is your responsibility to keep a safe braking distance between you and the car in front". Case closed!
I'm happy someone brought that up. Where I live they have the delay and it's great for safety but I still don't disagree with red light cams. The reason is that there's always that A-hole that will burn the red intentionally putting everybody's life in danger. I feel that guy should be punished and the cameras are a great way to do so.
FYI, last year I drove through the same 3 intersections with cameras over 400 times (twice a day) and never even came close of running the light yet according to the paper over 800 tickets (3 intersections combined) were issued. You want to bet those people who ran red lights won't do it again?
I still have yet to see you show slanted information as well. You write long empty statements. At least if I write garbage I keep it short. And yes, if you know people that live in those countries that now live here, you would know that their have very similar life styles. Maybe you work where it's white only where you don't get to learn other people's culture but fortunately for me I'm surrounded by people of many races and I do talk to them.
Who you protecting yourself from? Aliens? There are far more chances of a disaster putting your family in harms way and what do you have ready for that? I bet you don't have a few days worth of supply of water in your home. Point made!
I picked countries with similar health care, education, economies and culture. That's how to compare stats.
Picking countries with civil unrest doesn't really allows to fair comparison.
The fact that the US has that much gun related deaths is disturbing to say the least. High availability of guns in the US has made them not just easy to get but affordable for anybody. My neighbour wanted to purchased a gun, the RCMP refused him. Why you ask? Because his Ex-Wife didn't approve. That to me is common sense gun control. Showing your drivers license at a gun store and getting a gun is just DUMB!
Well, you analysis of the charts is dumb to say the least. Lets compare violent countries to stable societies. That's what I call comparing apples with apples. Since your knowledge of what is going on in the world is limited I simplified these charts for you to be able to look a comparable countries (Countries that have similar living standards to ours)
For the most part, numbers here very much speak in my favour. Sure it's not a set of perfect stats but generally more firearms = more related deaths. If you don't see that in these numbers then I understand why you want to keep you guns.
Guns per 100 / Deaths per 100k UK 6.2 0.25 Germany 30.3 1.24 Sweden 31.6 1.47 Iceland 30.3 1.57 Norway 31.3 1.78 Canada 30.8 2.38 Austria 30.4 2.95 France 31.2 3.01 Croatia 21.7 3.54 Finland 45.3 3.64 US 89 10.3
If you cross reference the developed countries you can see there's a pattern. The more guns per capita, the more firearm violence. It's not a coincidence. You can't look at some of the countries because they actually have wars in their backyards and you would not be comparing apples with apples.
Reduce the presence of guns to the level (say to Canada's level) and you save 20 000 lives per year. Right, it's not worth the millions of dollars in gun sales lost. God forbid the gun enthusiasm is hindered to save a few lives.
I say lets go back to the wild wild west instead of entrusting a body of authorities we all agree should and can protect us. There comes a point where we have to stop creating umbrellas for the 0.001% scenario.
It's not just about auto/non-auto, it's about weapons that can inflict major damage quickly. As far as I know, in the US you can obtain riffles of all kinds with clip sizes above 5. This is where it's different in Canada. The max clip size for ANY riffle is 5 and handgun is 10. In the US many of the states do not have restrictions on this.
Regardless of what anybody here says, I say keep living with your laws and you gun maniacs. I really don't see the need to collect military grade weapons.
At not point did I say there should be NO GUNS. I said that the type of guns should be controlled. You having a legal 5 shot handgun or riffle isn't going to allow you to go on a rampage of the sort that's been seen in recent years.
Unions at this point won't change the shit wages for factory workers. You gotta bring back manufacturing here if you want to see that change. That means you have to pay more for everything you buy.
As far as I know there are still many jobs out there that pay well but manufacturing is not one of them due to the direct competition with China. I worked for a manufacturer and we manufacture 100% in North America. Unfortunately we are starting to purchase more parts from China because our competitors are undercutting us. I can see our high volume products eventually be 100% manufactured in China if this trend continues.
Next time you buy something at a big box store, at least buy the one assembled in NA if there is one available. That 5% more you pay at least stays here and indirectly helps you.
The good news is that over the next 20 years the economies should equalize (I hope). This could bring back jobs here.

Good info to have.
I agree. Apple has not provided that opportunity and I would tend to say it's because most users would turn it down. Ownership of software isn't not viable, you need to support the development or live with it. :(
How do you explain the 5.5 millions guns sold annually to citizens in the US?
Can't be that hard if that many guns are purchased annually.
FYI, there are 90 guns per 100 citizens in the US. These statistics are all available online.
I agree. He knew what he was doing was wrong but he didn't kill anybody or put anybody in harms way.
He should have to pay a portion or all of the fees incurred by the government to react to the situation.
A large fine + expulsion should be good enough to deter anybody in the future.
Wait a second!!! Are you guys telling me that a company should continue to support software on devices not sold for over 2 years? Why is it reasonable for a user to expect this?

Like to said, different from state to state. The process is tones simpler than in Canada.

In Canada there is.
There also is a huge set back if you can't get reliable internet in your area. Still too much bandwidth sharing going on.
Who you protecting yourself from? Aliens? There are far more chances of a disaster putting your family in harms way and what do you have ready for that? I bet you don't have a few days worth of supply of water in your home. Point made!
