Your point has been repeatedly shown to be without merit, by myself and others. The only one missing anything here is you.
specialty chips are not enough to fully build things.
Except, you know, an F-35 and all its associated avionics and systems. But whatever, keep living the delusion that because you can't buy it at Digikey it doesn't exist. Wal-Mart doesn't sell hand tailored silk dress shirts but I assure you they are regularly bought and sold in the United States. Your arguments speak more to your limited worldview than any actual reality.
It's not a secret that the US owns MiG-29s so that doesn't seem like the best "deniability". Heck, there's at least one civilian flown MiG-29 in the US and a US military contractor that flies MiG-29s (among others) to provide OpFor training for the USAF/USN.
Intel makes their high end chips exclusively in the US. Overseas fabs make lower tier chips.
the wiki article is not the full truth. some higher end chips are made here but that's NOT what the issue is about. you can't build entire systems from US based parts anymore. it simply can't be done. most of your parts (usually all) are not US made. and your pc board is not just one single high-end chip.
You seem to be conflating cost and efficiency with technical capability. It usually doesn't make any sense for mass produced consumer level electronics to be made in the US. It would be horrendously expensive, quantities would be relatively limited and no one would buy them. That doesn't mean the capability isn't there. If an F-35 could be made from the ground up in the United States (which is obviously can be, as rare earth magnets are the only thing at issue here) your desktop PC's motherboard could be if there was some reason for it.
we cannot build electronics in the US anymore. we don't own the plants that produce the transistors, resistors, caps, diodes, etc. for the last 30 or more years, those have been made exclusively in asia (all over asia, not just china).
Considering in 2012 29% percent of people identified as independents, 32% as Republican and 38% as Democrat my simple example numbers are actually pretty close to today's reality. In fact, if you look at 2004 (26 Ind, 37 Dem, 37 Rep), my percentages match up to the population exactly. Entirely plausible indeed.
So that makes neither math, nor English nor research your forte.
Is math not your forte? Here's one simple example:
270 people were asked.
100 of them identified as Democrats.
100 of them identified as Republicans.
70 of them identified as Green, Libertarian, Independent or some other affiliation.
33% of Democrats plus 57% of Republicans would be 90 people. That's one third of 270.
And the summary makes no mention whatsoever that they have now been sentenced.
The phrase "has been imprisoned" implies such. For confirmation you could have clicked that phrase, which is a link, and seen that information in both the headline and the very first sentence. The summaries are often shitty, but that's not an excuse for ignorance on anyone else's part.
No, I'm the kind of busy person who expects a fucking decent summary that doesn't make me work to figure out what's the news it's trying to communicate;-)
You're such a "busy person" that you have plenty of time to whine about it though? This is a discussion forum, not a news aggregator. If you don't have time to read and understand the topic before you post, then go away. This forum isn't for you. Maybe some Duck Dynasty reruns are on.
The Galaxy SII and SII I know for sure (because I own and have flashed them) have a hardware flash counter. Every time you flash it, it's incremented. Reinstalling the stock ROM doesn't change that, in fact it just increments it again.
I guess you've never lived somewhere with an HOA. Exactly those sorts of terms are explicitly spelled out in the deed. There are a surprising number of parallels between HOA deed restrictions and an EULA.
They were sentenced on Monday. Pretty sure Monday morning in Dubai was about a day and a half ago. They were first arrested "several weeks ago", yes but the actual disposition of the case is significant news. I guess you're the sort of reality TV viewer who gets all stirred up by some barely newsworthy event then just as quickly gets distracted by whatever the new outrage of the day is and forgets all about what he was upset about the day before. I wouldn't be proud of that if I were you, but rather ashamed.
Of course, Slashdot isn't really supposed to be about breaking news anyway, it's supposed to be for thoughtful and intelligent discussion of the events. I guess we have people like you to thank for why it isn't anymore.
How is this "the reverse of a fraud"? Fraud is simply dishonesty for personal gain. Tax fraud is certainly one specific kind of fraud scheme. This is another. Inflating their trade volume was designed to keep the value of Bitcoin high, as the owner is said to be a significant owner of Bitcoin.
Is English not your first language? If not it's probably best not to reply to people all angrily, especially with phrases like "not that hard concept to grasp" (grammatically incorrect) without first seeking clarification because you are probably the one who has misunderstood. You certainly did here. You tried to insult my opinion while simultaneously expressing the exact same one.
When you jailbreak you're running random code from the internet that was specifically advertised as a security exploit. I don't know what sort of naive expectations you have.
I don't really think "follow the treatment plan of your medical professionals" qualifies as medical advice, and certainly not some one should be loath to take.
Unlikely. His post history mentions at other points being in his 60's and has referred to medical school. A fake profile with a decade of history seems like a lot of effort to go through to pretend to be a doctor on a tech forum. Not impossible, but I'm going to go with Occam's Razor on this one.
How do you differentiate "needs" from "wants" once basic survival requirements are met? Does installing a Dvorak keypad on an iPad allow him to secure food and/or shelter he couldn't obtain another way?
Slashdot Mirror
again, you totally miss my point.

You'd better let Molycorp know. They've put a lot of time and money into it and are finally getting US production back on line.
and besides, this is about higher end chips.
Intel makes their high end chips exclusively in the US. Overseas fabs make lower tier chips.

Completely false. To name just a handful.
Transistors: Loads. Intel, Freescale, Micron, NXP, etc.
Resistors: US Resistor, Powerohm
Capacitors: American Capacitor Corporation and AFM Micro
Diodes: Sensitron

They don't have a third floor.

33% of Democrats plus 57% of Republicans would be 90 people. That's one third of 270.
It's pretty easy to check. It's five years.
And the summary makes no mention whatsoever that they have now been sentenced.

Because iOS has the specific apps they want to use.

Found here.

That's my entire point. "Needs" and "wants" are entirely subjective.
I don't really think "follow the treatment plan of your medical professionals" qualifies as medical advice, and certainly not some one should be loath to take.

Define "broken". It seems to do what it says it does. Why should I care that a Chinese app store that isn't available to me has been included?
How do you differentiate "needs" from "wants" once basic survival requirements are met? Does installing a Dvorak keypad on an iPad allow him to secure food and/or shelter he couldn't obtain another way?
The fact that you can jailbreak your iPhone means that another party is able to compromise mine.
If they have physical control of the device, yes. Why would you trust any device you lost physical control of?
