It's kind of a perceived strong choice in the corporate world and identifiable on a powerpoint slide as a bullet in the strength of the company being able to afford an Oracle solution. Had a friend who does HR talk about integrations for a couple companies tell me his Oracle horror stories and it sounds like absolute martyrdom for something that is terrible. I've never heard of Oracle having an "it just works" solution and usually the people who are good with Oracle in these companies are mediocre at best in terms of talent, but no one like to empty port-o-pots but they don't empty themselves.
Totally good point. The same way that competing companies post ads on their competition. It's not as though there aren't some non-profits that are flush with cash who should be doing this. Even if it's not their target market they could get racists to rage about them, thusly get more word of mouth. It's could be a better spend on than targeting people who agree with their viewpoints in not condoning racism.
I'm not seeing why this is a problem. You're not going to eliminate racism by hiding it. It's not like a confederate statue staring you in the face, you have to go looking for racist garbage for you to find it on Google search and if you do find some racist garbage you can get rid of it fairly easy with their reporting tools.
People want information and advertisers want information. You can find perfectly legal porn sites and the like and they can advertise. I'm just not seeing the social dilemma. It's not like their getting links to fake pharmacies that can sell you knock off Viagra that could be potentially dangerous and lacks quality control (which they had an issue with before and fixed). I'm a big proponent of people being accepting and part of that is being accepting of people who I think have horrible world view points. As long as it doesn't harm me people can do what they like, unless it is BuzzFeed news. That's literally Hitler. #ICan'tEven
Well yeah we don't suck each other off about owning an iPhone like it's an accomplishment or rave when Android comes out with something new. We're too busy not having to reset our Apple IDs.
Yeah staying relevant is totally overrated. Last week the stick I wave at kids with their new fangled smartphones wore out and I had to upgrade to an iStick which requires a fingerprint required my fingerprint. That's how they get you.
Windows kind of in the opposite boat by only allowing ReFS on the extra super pricey versions of Windows 10 post Creators Update. Windows required it to be a deliberate choice before, but kind of annoying that they hold users on it with lower versions ransom to buy a greater version of Windows to get what they already had.
Killing AFP seems terrible to me unless they play nice with PostScript fonts would be one reason I wouldn't like it, though I imagine the number of people running Mac OS X Server on all flash configurations in a design environment or any other environment that requires resource forks is pretty. They may have worked that out, though I'd imagine as much as all Mac shops cringed doing so that Acronis Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) on Windows server is now the norm.
I've depended on slashdot since 1998 for shithook offtopic first posts. The only thing disappointing nowadays is that the second through fifth posts are frequently on topic.
Total bullshit. LinkedIn, for example, is 247 mb uncompressed of frameworks and 1.6 mb of images, 14.9 mb of language localizations for the 25 languages it supports.
HP added the thickness to their 15" laptop and not a 17" only to cover the increased need to power a screen that has more resolution than what someone will notice. I don't call that a design accomplishment so much as obligation to account for a 4k display that no one really is going to need in a 15" screen. verge article. Apple dumped 17" laptops years ago. Very few people give a shit about 17" laptops.
If you have 100+ computers that need the same thing done and you have to do it manually to more than one to set up the script and a few to test it then it is you that officially suck. Try googling "start menu active directorty" and see where that lands you.
I can't wait to see it preinstalled on their DROID and prominent. Hopefully Verizon can also put every one of AOL's crappy news sites that have an app in them so each phone comes with a full hundred apps you can't get rid of.
If they didn't add value to it then people would not be going through Apple EVERY MONTH for the convenience. Same thing with people paying $8+ to Time Warner for a modem rental. If the price is too high and there is an alternative to do things cheaper it is up to the consumer to make that decision. Should the consumer opt for convenience at a price it is up to them.
I think they should open source the kernel too. If they do they travel back in time to 1996 and put it here so everyone thinks they have always had a transparent security process in regards to the XNU kernel long since before OS X or iOS existed.

The +1 funny is kind of dead around slashdot these days.

This free meal tastes terrible, and the portion is too small.

I Altavista'd this and can confirm it.
Got a laugh. Who's wasting mod points on first posts?

I thought it was funny. A quick lurk through his comments doesn't suggest that, especially for someone who admits to growing up in Appalachia.

If you read the article you'd reconsider putting money on it.
Pretty sure they'd say fuck everything, we're doing five monitors

Just a matter of time before the dogs get smart enough to break encryption.
I stopped using Crapple when I found out it was just a rumor that they weren't shifting to Transmeta on slashdot years ago.
Fraud.

OMG Apple does too!
