When you dont have any product to offer, you know you are about to do the business of the century, are dealing with the giant of the industry, and do everything you can to hide it from the seller just to pay a paltry sum, yep, you are being a scoundrel. Need I point the obvious?
You are being too kind. How they cheated out Tim Patterson and resold "DOS" with a huge profit. How Stacker killed the hard-drive competition. How about Windows 3 hard coded error messages that killed DR-DOS, besides strong arming major suppliers into installing only DOS and then Windows in exchange for major "discounts"...how about hidden APIs and bug fixes to Windows 95 that only were applied when you installed Office. OS/2 was also clearly sabotaged from the inside, they were only there to steal the ideas. Or their sabotage of the Java APIs to prevent it to become a stable ubiquitous platform of development. How they swindled netscape and the HTLM standard. How Exchange had code to make IMAP protcolols slow to further the agenda of Windows/Outlook workstations. The creation of ASP to disrupt PHP. The inclusion of anti-virus in Windows. How they obfuscated so much protocols like SMB and the Office documents to delay their reverse engineering. How their business model is to continually disrupt their own products to create a need to buy the latest, and the latest training.
As far as I can tell I am quite positive Apple already have it in place, and both Android and iPhone devices connected to a remote Exchange server can be wiped out remotely with a single button press...
Actually it has. No activated account until I request so, not using it in any terminal at all also (in the case it was activated by default), and plausible deniability. If in any case at all, anything is ever lifted via the Internet banking mechanism, I never had access to it, nor any password. From what I have seen in projects I have been indirectly involved, I would not want this guys to design my home network, much less a bank network. And then I dont trust their choice of Internet facing operating systems too.
The problem is not the software per se, but that everyone and his dog "glues together" a network. I have seen as consultant unbelievable things, and unfortunately, not talking about pa & mom shops.
You are spot on sir. And this is why at my bank, I always have refused their multiple suggestions to do Internet banking. I tell them flatly I work in the field, and know how weak the process is.
Broken support? As far as I know the App Store nowadays offers you to download the last version supported that works for your device. I have still an iPad from two generations ago that is working like a charm, will see for how long. Quite happy with it, and I really hate android so much I bought an iPhone and gave up my working android phone.
IMO, the question is deeper than technical prowess vs artistic merit. It is a problem that goes deeper in the vein of society. Specialisation is not valued and not paid accordingly. Period. People also confuse "abundance" of offer, with professional offer. They are too very distinct things. Social media, TV, soaps like Glee where the kids become pro overnight without seemingly any effort, or even freak reality shows, dont help either.
In urban areas, should not be a choice at all. I dont want really to hear dogs barking at night, or step on dogs poo. But then, it is not he fault of the dog, but the stupidity of the owners. And even in rural areas, it is not usual to keep fido at bay, the farthest you can from your own house, but right next to the neighbours.
I dont want an animal any near my home. No responsibilities, no worries, no mess. Besides, it would not be sane for both of us to keep a dog in an apartment. And is it human for the dog and the neighbours to keep dogs confined to varandas? If you call other people monsters because of not wanting or liking pets, you really ought to have your head examined. But then, replying to an AC...
It is true all is done in name of profits however the cost of beef is low because of subsidies; if it werent for them, beef would be at 50 euros/kg, and a food of the rich, as it was in a not so distant past.
Not only script rewrite, but using the same mutants ad nausea as actors because the formulae worked the other times...District 9 was a shit movie but was barely watchable because it had new faces. Or thinking that Sandra Bullock and Clooney will sell a crap movie like Gravity. Or having a mutant granny like Meryl Streep to sell a turd known as Mamma Mia.
You can try to rationalise it as much you want it, however they dont have the right to wreck some poor sod life just to make an example of it for the rest of us. And then fining it extra because it is low quality...yes honour, he deserves the double of the fine, because he wrecked up our mercedes and he is giving a bad image of our brand?? To the hell with them I say.

They are in the wrong industry. They should run for politics, much easier to dig into pockets. They already have the ethics to start with.
Actually 30 million in a swiss bank account, one time payment is enough, thank you.
I am quite sure he has an iPad in every corner of his mansion, and even one in the bathroom for tubgirl.

It wont work. Most of the high end stolen phones find their way to 3rd world countries were they are sold as "new".

You were buying a terrorist training kit, what do you expect? Glad you told them to sod off, we need more people like you.

You are assuming they are not so misers as to maintain and pay proper IT admins...
You are spot on sir. And this is why at my bank, I always have refused their multiple suggestions to do Internet banking. I tell them flatly I work in the field, and know how weak the process is.
IPsec is the tunnel creating mechanism and it is very unwise not to isolate sensitive equipment in their own vlans.

Brilliant, sir, excellent dark humour skills and use of irony.

Nope, European, 100MBps at home, 80Mbps/8Mbps in speedtest.net via my wireless Macbook Pro, 200GB cap by ToS

it it not a matter of common sense, it is a matter of influence and pockets. Deep pockets.
Yes you honor, he stole 50,000 bank notes, so we are prosecuting him in 50,000 counts.
They are using the courts to making money of it, and apparently quite easy money, and the courts are sucking it up...
