You are aware that that standard has been dead for over a year now, for none of the companies wanted to continue being forced to use standard micro-USB, because it simply doesn't provide enough power for charging a modern phone, let alone tablets or even notebooks?
Nope, the early MP3 players were custom software utilities.
I'm pretty sure we're talking about hardware MP3 players here, not custom software utilities.
You obviously epically FAILED to read the rest of his post.
Oh, and now you think I'm stalking you because I answer to many stupid posts, and hit you twice? That's because you ARE A FUCKING MORON. Expect to get more replies, because you are obviously not able to not show your stupidity all the time.
Don't flatter yourself by thinking I'm stalking - that just proves how much of an utter moron you are.
Actually, that wasn't a rhetorical question. I actually meant "How am I able to know this? How am I, as a customer, able to learn which unresolved security vulnerabilities exist for my product/device/software?"
Easy: you read Slashdot. You watch CNN. Every fucking time some malware for an Apple OS comes out, it's all over the fucking internet. And if there were actually an unpatched vulnerability in an old OS of Apple, the fucking people who constantly claim there are would finally bring it up as an example
IOW either there is no free speech in the USA or there is free speech in Germany or you are a hypocrite.
Germany has its own words it doesn't allow over LICENSED spectrum, where those who wish to broadcast have VOLUNTARILY agreed to certain terms in order to gain the GOVERNMENT-GRANTED MONOPOLY for that spectrum.
If you rebuilt a compromised host due to somebody leveraging a bug in sendmail, then the admin is/was a moron. Processes should not be run with root privileges, and any public-facing system should be configured in such a way as to limit the damage that can be caused by compromised service accounts. See: PEBKAC; ID10T error.
Yeah, good thing there aren't any privilege escalation bugs in the Linux kernel. Ever.
If you can't find a remotely on-topic way to undo your moderation, you deserve to modded into oblivion. And why do you think the Offtopic mod exists in the first place? To only mod down offtopic posts that don't admit to be un-mod-posts?
First, and yet another OSS-releated security risk:(
At least they are rare enough that it is news worthy. As compared to Windows where new exploits hardly ever get any attention because they are so frilling common as to be passé.
Well, Slashdot seems to report on every vulnerability popping up on my Apple watchlist (often more than once), but not on all popping up on the RedHat watchlist. Draw your own conclusions from what you just said.
Forgot to mention: Apple's TSL-bug was also open source.

7 words is what can be said over certain publicly accessible government-licensed airwaves, not what you can say in general. It is a condition the networks accept in return for being granted exclusive right to those frequencies.
Interestingly, the FCC didn't come up with these words. George Carlin did.

Of course they aren't. The only people who are having this problem are those who have switched from an iPhone to something else which means they are no longer using an iPhone and ipso facto they are not "real users".
Hey, since there are actually more people going the other way - who cares.
Had you noticed that only one of these steps actually involves the iPhone? All of the other steps are introduced only because you have your music set up in a crazy ass way, and have nothing at all to do with the iPhone.
Not to mention that he could automate the other steps easily if he actually knew how to handle a computer. Heck his wife could, because she probably isn't as stuck in her ways.
Back when I fixed computers for the public I used to see a lot of badly organized iTunes libraries. Part of the problem was duff data from Gracenote/CDDB or whatever provider they use. Double albums and compilations were the most problematic, since apparently at the time no-one could agree on a format for tagging those. If course if you bought your music from Apple it was okay, but most people had lots of CDs to rip. Apparently most users didn't know how to fix the problems either.
iTunes was fine if you used it for everything - ripping, buying and syncing. If you wanted to do any of those things with another app though...
... you had to do EVERY FUCKING THING YOURSELF. Which is obviously what you want because you are anal - but smarter people use a program like iTunes for that.
Slashdot Mirror
Regular USB will do 10 watts, 5 volts 2 amps. My Samsung phone uses just such a charger.
So your phone has a full-sized USB port? Else it's fucking non-standard, and "non-regular".
Charging at a rate of 2amps or more has been available in Android phones for years.
Yes. And it's NON-STANDARD. Get it into your skull already.
You are aware that that standard has been dead for over a year now, for none of the companies wanted to continue being forced to use standard micro-USB, because it simply doesn't provide enough power for charging a modern phone, let alone tablets or even notebooks?
Apple is right, your mother gave you the iPad, not the data on it.
The data does not belong to Apple.
The iPad does not belong to Apple.
Apple should have no skin in this game, they don't own any part of it.
Well, Apple has the part where they suck when the security they implemented works and has no backdoors.

Moron. Fucking, stupid Google Fandroid Moron. Oxymoron. Did I mention you have no clue?

That's how fucking easy that is.

Ohh? Name them, or shut the fuck up.

What kind of crack are you on?
Unix and Linux have no malware to speak of and they are completley open platforms.
AKA the Voldemort solution to malware. If we don't mention it, it doesn't exist.
Good thing there are no drive-by vulnerabilities for Android - http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/14/02/20/2242245/drive-by-android-malware-exploits-unpatchable-vulnerability
So let's not make a mountain out of a whorehill.
So Android has 97% of all mobile software written for it? 80%? Is it at least the platform where most of the mobile software appears first?
"Open Source Software is more secure because the code can be reviewed."
That's why this bug has existed since 2005. gg, guys. Thumbs up.
What do you mean? The many eyes found said bug that is why we are reading about it if thay had not it would still be sitting there undiscovered.
Unless of course it wasn't undiscovered, but actually used. Or even deliberately planted by the NSA.
To be fair, it IS off topic.
but not worth wasting a mod point on

It also seems like Google is working on something, so it isn't exactly the case that noone else is doing this right now.
Apple is late to the game, because Google is working on something. Oh, the irony. Are they gonna drop it when everybody uses it like Reader?
How should I know?
Oh, so you admit you have no clue. That's a start.
itunes? Is that an Android iTunes wannabe?
My dad had a Garmin Nuvi tell him to drive down a pedestrian-only walkway that ran through a park in Wittenberg (IIRC) about ten years ago.
The nice German guy who explained to us why we were the only car on the road during rush hour was highly amused.
Yeah, a bug in a Garmin 10 years ago is a totally cromulent excuse for Google Maps' shortcomings today.

Real users aren't having a problem.
