It wasn't even the right circular logic. The idea that gold will be a safe store of value is based on the idea that yesterday gold was a safe store of value, not transistors.
So they knob-polish hundreds per ipad for a docviewer? This shit doesn't need to be online. It doesn't need to phone home. It doesn't need facetweet reddiblrgram integration. It doesn't need automatic updates. It doesn't need Access To Your Photos And Contacts. It doesn't need achievements. It doesn't need to stream to your youtube blog.
It doesn't need any app-bricking shit. It doesn't even need any app-crashing shit, which is a harmless term that means "reboot and you're good".
You don't need a $500 tablet to look at a fscking.txt, or even a pdf. Maybe then you could afford some redundancy. $100-200 for a second device? Or how about just the $1 for a second docviewer app.
Lots of people pointing out the failure that piracy doesn't have.
That takeaway is a bit inaccurate though. What they've identified is the advantage of not having to ASK FOR FUCKING PERMISSION TO USE YOUR PROPERTY.
Every time. Forever. Anywhere in the universe.
Oops network connection not found. You can't read it, watch it, listen to it, touch it, load it, play it, because you don't actually have it. You never did.
The "problem" isn't cdwiegand's usage, dumbass. The only thing solved is one human's chemical balance. Not his wallet though, he'll have to pick somewhere with lower pay. Assuming one exists.
Legalizing human cattle prods to use on wage slaves would also self-correct itself.
From one batch of disgruntled disposables to the next. There's always someone more desperate.
You can stop after the traders decide that throwing pre-scripted parasite'ing at the market isn't a formula for an ez-money printer. A single case is only going to make them balk and whine and headhunt.
They don't really ROI yet, they still hinge on their novelty and only niche'ly advantageous cases are suited for them.
But yeah, they're here. Or available to the market anyway. They're just not interested because for all their protests, you can just throw out the starving whiner and get a starver who's more desperate.
I expect it'll be "interesting" when the math says Latest Factory Advancement makes the kiosks average out to $5/hr and everyone drops the starvers all at once. And you don't have to worry about revolt; even without "suppression" drones floating around we're pretty entrenched against any kind of mobilizing, organizing, or even dissent. The only preventative measure left to develop is straight up thoughtcrime.
There will be plenty of money out there. It just won't come from the proles.
I feel like eating oranges this year. Maybe I'll spend $20,000, that should get me a crate. Or I can spend the $21,000 on a set of orangebots. I'd try buying a second set and sell the surplus, but there's just no buyers; everyone just gets their own orangebots. Oh wait, I own my own bot factory on one of my islands, brb printing a set. What do I need money for again?
It's 2015 and I'd say it's already too late to be a name in this arena, but I'll be keeping an eye on the Foxconns of tomorrow so I can at least get a cut of the pie. It doesn't solve the future economy, but it might buy my selfish ass a ticket out of terrafoam.
There's plenty of reasons to doubt it, but what have you got to lose? I imagine most of us here have at least minor desync trouble, and night screens may be part of it. And if you're anything like me, you'll try all kinds of crap to try and fix your sleep.
> Apple has done quite a bit of work to allow central administration of app deployment, security, and OS configuration
When you use the word "central" in the middle of that sentence, are you referring to Apple's administration? I can hardly refute the height of the walls around the garden.
When you say "central", are you referring to the actual administration in practice? IT? Are you saying they have enterprise-supporting MDM? Because I'll need to get 911 on the line first. Passing out from laughter is a dangerous matter.
It's a consumer product. It scales like shit and I can't blame them, it was never meant to. The image-and-branding sparkleboners were meant for the private individual demographic. Maybe they guessed school districts could spot form-over-function. And guessed wrong.
We share some grief. When purely based on a "word" you're effectively picking a single character from a set of, what, 10^5? You say 7, after permutations? Either way, that original pool means a limiting factor.
I might be more pessimistic than you about the lifetime of a basic string like "mhallifwwas". It's not here yet, but it's the sort of AI, the sort of language indexing that's less like whimsy scifi and more like inevitable Big Data. Yes, I do expect tables to respond and evolve into phrase dictionaries.
In this context, nursery rhymes are shit. I like them to help illustrate the simplicity of use and apparent complexity gains. They're superstrong in the current meta. But once the new tables are built they'll wreck rhymes, pop song lyrics, quotes, sayings, etc. in a hurry. OTOH, the concept comes with implicit invitation to roll your own. Hell, they did it on Doctor Who. And I get the sense it's easier to add permutation to phrases.
Attackers know to check for 'e' characters swapped with '3' characters. It's in their tables. It won't do shit. Words like asdfghjkl are in their tables. Duh.
Do we need an article about how "hackers have realized people swap 'e' and 3!"? Yes, people are simply capping the first letter and it accomplishes little (the "complexity" requirement thus accomplished shit), duh and DUH.
Still waiting for an article (actually, the posts so far also seem devoid) about pass-acronyms. "mhallifwwas" will pwn any brute force, any attack table (well, not any more) and it's a fscking nursery rhyme.
No weird complexity. No increasingly obnoxious user burden. It's actually easier to memorize than many passwords. And if not, you gain greater-yet-lower-hanging pendefense compared to DICKING AROUND WITH SYMBOLS AND NUMBERS AND CAPS.

I've seen this before. I think their system does it unprompted.
That is, your boss has no idea s/he invited you to jack shit.
They're gonna build a Great Wall of Japan sooner or later, for some reason or another. Keep out The Fog or The Blight or whatever, the one that brings monsters or disease or it kidnaps people or something.
I feel like giant walls have been leaking into culture more. Pacific Rim, sure, but consider Shingeki no Kyojin or Darker than Black or Maze Runner, and those are just the recent ones. Giant walls are the new "human (female) locked away in a sealed box/chest, discovered later".
Facepalming as an expression of exasperation is a conceptual construct that is my imaginary property and you have to give me money for saying, using, or thinking it.
There's no man by that name working here. There never was. You would do well to leave the matter alone, as further investigation would only reveal that there is no information or record on this fictional person. Now go back to your home.
Echoing on the drink. Water is more than a physical filler; being hydrated helps you feel sated, you're closer to "taken care of", while being thirsty causes increased appeal towards food. It's probably safe to ignore those 8cups people, but water is worth remembering as a mindhack. Exploit it before/during meals as you see fit.

"Imaginary property".

Slowly, judging by the five-year delay.

The number is irrelevant, what matters is getting a payment source (read:credit card) tied to the account.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to pay for a physical itunes gift card using cash.

Doublepost, but I had a compulsive urge to point out how weird it is to speak in future tense in reference to a past event.
Of course it's a point-defense system. Did you think it was a patent on an actual force-field generator? Don't be ridiculous.
Because some patent squatter will have that already.
