64 temperature records smashed in B.C.
Weather experts are now predicting June will be Vancouver's hottest on record
Vancouver Sun June 30, 2015
How eloquently you have rebutted the GP's argument. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
No it's not. When you have MAC address filtering, it's easier to detect devices that should not be on the network, even if they're spoofing the address. SSID hiding is also still worthwhile as it can help determine if there's an evil twin or a rogue access point.
Do you even know how easy MAC spoofing is? Probably not, taking the general knowledge you have shown in this thread as a hint.
Permissions are another matter. In theory it should be trivial to block the flashlight app's access without blocking your own. And with the iPad/Phone, you don't know if the flashlight app isn't stealing your data. Just because you don't have access, it doesn't mean the app doesn't.
Yeah right. Anybody here with any clues about CS left?
How many times has Apple said they wouldn't ever do something and then later done it?
Far less often than the times they said they wouldn't ever do something and then later actually didn't. But they sure will change their mind about the netbook real soon.
He has it totally backwards (on purpose). Of course running OSX on an iPad is a bad idea. What would be far more useful is a Macbook with a touchscreen (AKA welcome to the 21st century Macbook!) that can run iOS apps in addition to OSX apps.
This is an adapter solution not a full keyboard solution. I did a google too and didn't see an actual mechanical switch keyboard being sold with bluetooth in the top 10 entries or so. I also searched on 'daskeyboard bluetooth' and it doesn't seem like there is one.
Errr no. Mac sales haven't noticeable increased in the last 5 years.
Suuure. If you squint real hard, you certainly won't notice. FQ4 2015 (last quarter) Apple sold 5.7 million Macs, FQ4 2010 3.9 million. That's almost 50% increase.
"Funny. Apple's PC sales are UP year-over-year, while the "entire (rest) of the industry" sales are down. I think the "entire (rest) of the industry" needs to stop being such lemmings."
Or alternatively, people are largely satisfied with the performance of their current windows PC and feel no need to pay a premium for a new computer that will not do any better and will require them to adapt the the "Apple Way".
Yeah, that perfectly explains why Mac sales are up. In the Twilight Zone!
The problem that I have with anthropogenic global warming is that it started out sounded like a science-based issue, but it has since moved into the realm that's more reminiscent of a religion (complete with established dogma, punishment of heretics, an apocalyptic theology, etc.).
IOW you were fine with it until somebody noticed that there could be real life consequences. Then you locked up, because that's something only religions talk about, but not real science - that lives in a world of spherical cows in a vacuum on a frictionless surface.

Vancouver Sun June 30, 2015 Fuck you.
Why? People keep making these sound-bite replies as if I'm asking for something that is somehow unrealistic, ignoring the fact that what I described has been absolutely routine for multiple decades
No, it just seems that way, because Microsoft completely blew it with the successor to XP and you morons think that it has always been that way,
Get it into your fucking skull already: Microsoft officially announced the successor of XP "for next year" before XP even shipped. And XP support would have been over no later than 2 years after that.
No, I don't "conveniently ignore" that at all, that is entirely the very basis for my point - we are trying to push out coding into a more general population at all ages, and yet here we have Tim Cook saying most people only need a device on which you cannot code. Those two things do not gel.
The pipe-dream of "everybody becomes a programmer" aside - maybe Cook knows more than you do.
Apple tends to assume the developer is lazy or at least market driven, meaning they won't support the odd alternative very well. See for example Apple's approach to high DPI vs Windows.
Exactly. Apple, unlike you, lives in the real world. Thanks for giving the perfect example.

Oh? Do you have a point of disagreement you would like to express?
You've already shown you wouldn't understand, so what's the point?
Nope, just your ability to express a rational thought.
Then why do you fail at it instead of me?
You don't have a point, apart from the one on your hat.
Wow, thanks for proving my point.
This alone shows how stupid your argument is.
Nope.
You are right. It is not your argument that is stupid.
Wow, you really are only here to complain - thanks for the confirmation.
Swearing at me won't make your argument any more convincing.
Well, not calling a spade a spade is not going to change the fact that your argument sucks, so I might as well do it.
And the fact that you don't know that that Vista was not the promised successor to XP shows just how little you know about this clusterfuck.

Why yes, I have. Thank you. And Fuck off.

Yep. If you take 2 datapoints rather than draw a trendline. Of note is that the rest of the industry saw similar jumps in both years.
Careful, I heard reality distortion fields can cause cancer.
Wow, you really are desperate. Did Tim Cook steal your girlfriend?

So use a wired solution - https://www.afterpad.com/best-... - scroll down about 45% to "Mechanical Keyboards"
But since you are complaining because you fucking love to complain...

Einstein has been proven by experiments in short time. Tony Wazzup and his merry band of geologists have not been after many years.

You just lost a bet.
Yeah, sorry. I forgot you are only 9.

"Microsoft has, year after year and in new and amazing ways, failed to put the end user experience first."
Look around at the computers people use. 95% run Windows.
Sure (*). But not on Surfaces
(*) More like "suuuure", but that's beside the point
Given the track record at Apple, it means they are working feverishly on an iBook or MacPadPro device similar to the Surface Book.
Sure. But first they will have to ship their netbook. Everybody said they must and will do it.
