Step in the way back machine, read the snowden documents and interviews, find the spot where the NSA mentions any attack against an IOS device reaps rewards, then say that again.
Every attack against an IOS device reaps rewards.
But.... this isn't your S4, nor is it my S4, it's a hardened S4. In fact, I'd be surprised if any of us would recognize the phone from using it.
Unless you bought a launch ps3 that actually listed that feature on the box (Like I did) just go ahead and shut the fuck up about "install other os" what the fuck were you going to use yellowdog for?
It's not just about graphics, it's about memory and processing power too, and what developer is going to limit their games to the specs of a ps3 when a ps4 is around? None.
So why on earth would they produce games for the ps4 when the 4k edition is going to be the dev kit they are building on.
your statement only makes sense if you know nothing about games and game design.
A kickass idea, with great gameplay, is still a steaming pile of shit at 15 FPS with long load times, and that's exactly what ps4 owners can expect once the NEO dev kits are shipped, shitty half assed ports with lower res textures and absolutely NO testing.
Consoles aren't PCs, you can not have 2 consoles from the same developer last, you will always see the better performing device win out.
Are you stunned? Seriously? The neo is more powerful. The backwards compatibility literally means they have to continue to produce low quality ports of those games for my Ps4.
how did those ps4 games that got ported to ps3 look? This will be worse
And you know what? Good. This is officially the last gaming console I will ever purchase because it's not worth the hassle and they are now officially on a faster upgrade path than a desktop gaming pc.
Game over sony, you've earned the last penny you will ever see directly from me.
The battery... I've only ever heard of them exploding or overheating with the massive, third party, batteries that go well beyond 4.8v
This is the same nonsense as the "e-ciggs cause popcorn lung" fiasco. No, they don't. But if you are an idiot that heats it up to 700 degrees, you deserve what you get.
I've quick smoking thanks to my ecigg, and i'm basically done using that as a crutch. THAT'S why these reports exist, follow the trail and you'll find yourself at the feet of big tobacco
Oh the security keys again?
Look, it's this simple, if you can be bothered to actually know what you are complaining about, just shut the fuck up about it. Windows 10, a no point, gave your security keys away. It at no point gave your contact list your wifi passwords without your consent.
The system was turned on, yes, to allow you to choose to use it. It never, ever, gave your keys unless you specifically told it to do so. As well, it never actually exposed your key, just a hash.
But like I said, if you are still whining about that, you are an idiot
It's 99% automated. Literally.
In fact, it could actually have played out this way:
Fox steals content from youtube, fox reposts this video to youtube to get it fingerprinted, automated system takes care of the rest.
I've been dealing with a shitfuckington of youtube takedown requests, all of which are automated. Youtube is actually pretty good with this, many times they simply direct the ad revenue to the content owner, or display ads or remove the sound. only a few of my videos were blocked outright.
He's stealing from any customers of that bank, and hopefully they haven't fucked with the deposit insurance or it's pretty despicable to be honest. It went to a good cause, I suppose, but that "good deed" might have meant a child went hungry.
Well played "vigilante"
Your burst speed means nothing. I was going well beyond my DSL cap if I only cared about burst speed, the EFFECTIVE speed is considerably lower.
Any speed test site is only as good as the infrastructure, and once it's popular, ISPs will unthrottle connections to that service, much like they have agreed to do with netflix, and it becomes speedtest.net version 2.
If you want to test your speed to the internet, reliably, you have 1 choice. Host a webserver yourself somewhere, and upload files to it. That's literally the only test you can trust.
I guess the question is, what company can I go work for that does not have active directory, sharepoint, MSSql, and a bunch of windows clients? that's an honest question.
No one runs a pure apple network, not even apple computers, that's a fact. No one runs netware, no one runs an entire domain with Linux and Ldap.
So how does someone who's never used the OS complain about it? that's a valid question. But to answer yours, in the mid 80s there was no means to learn linux unless you knew someone doing it. Sure, there were some BBS and NewsGroups, go head and step in the way back machine and see how those kind fellows treated people trying to break into unix and linux, it's a fun read. It is so similar to the crap you'll see kids spouting in a call of duty match that it's almost funny.
No desktop computers showed up at your house with linux installed, or even as an option. The choice was MADE for most of us, we built up a skill set, based careers on those skills. Sure my bash skills and technical knowledge could land me a job supporting linux devices (it actually did) but that's hard to come by. I can walk into ANY company, ANY company, a gas bar, a mom and pop bakery... and guess what? Their using windows.
I'll let the 20 year old me answer your question too, for reference. "I don't want to run an os that requires me to compile my own fucking device drivers" Case closed.
Well here;s the thing that people like you with their made up straw man arguments are not acknowledging.
Microsoft sold you windows WHATEVER, you own a license to run that software. They did NOT sell you lifetime updates for that software. You don't want to upgrade? Fucking don't, that;s your choice.
you can easily, right fucking now, stop win 7, 8, 8.1 from upgrading. You can, but you won't, because it's a straw man. You are free to continue using 8. Fuck my customized XP disk still works just fine, installs And RUNs! What magic is this? If you want to continue on with an outdated and unsupported OS, that's entirely up to you, but you lose the ability to bitch and moan about Microsoft being the least secure, because you've actively decided to keep it insecure.
and don't even bother mentioned the EULA you agreed to without reading, that's your own god damn fault. This self absorbed entitlement needs to go.
But hey, this isn't limited to Microsoft. We're currently supporting (HAH) unsupported Redhat systems because the applications only work on those versions, and we no longer have patch support. Could we move to an OS that does provide this? Sure! Will we? No, because then the linux guys have 1 less thing to bitch and whine about at every god damn meeting.
So when exactly did MS trick you into upgrading? Was it when they offered you the ability to reserve the copy? was it the nagging "your update is ready"? No. I suspect, just like the other fucking soccer moms, you clicked "deliver recomended updates" or whatever the fuck that setting is. Sure, they changed the category of the win10 upgrade to recommended, but YOU still had to DELIBERATELY tell windows update to treat recommended updates like the required ones.
Now, most of the straw man is lying in a pile, but what remains? the tracking. Well, go ahead and read the agreement you made with Apple, or Google, or ANYFUCKING SERVICE COMPANY, and you'll see it's nothing new. but yeah, it sucks. But it's no surprise unless you are an illiterate sloth living under a rock. As well, you AGREED to this by installing it.
So what's after that? The ads? Yes, that's a little above and beyond, putting ads into solitaire to get me to pay for it is fine, I don't play solitaire. Ads on the start menu? Now see, I've heard of this, I'm told they are there. The thing I find myself left wondering is....
What fucking start menu? I have never once used that start menu like I did in ANY other MS os. I may click into it to start typing the name of whatever I need, But I've never navigated through it, and I don't recall ever even looking at it after the install completed. and with everything else, they've actually given you the ability to remove them.
sure they MAY take it away someday, but are we really going to dump on companies for things they MAY do at a later date? Because the entire Linux community could go hands off and let every distro die, or better yet, remove all the GNU protected material and go the paid route. They COULD. And hey, Apple COULD decide to make itunes less shitty.
They could.
See that's a perfect example of how not to be a programmer. Programming is NOT about spotting problems to fix, it's about creative problem solving. Just because coder A can't imagine something that needs to be coded, does not mean if he/she FINDS a project to work on, they wouldn't knock it out of the park.
You want real coding/programming advice? Don't listen to a god damn thing other "coders" are going to tell you, because they don't want you in their special club. because they would be less special. Get some books, hunker down, and learn. Everything else will come after.
Actually, there are these CRAZY things called "paid internships" I know I know, since you didn't have one they can't exist. But, my friend, they do exist. And yes, the menial tasks you'll be doing anyone can do..... The internship is not about getting hired on to do that job, it's about getting practical experience and moving forward.
It's not even about resume fodder, it's about on the job experience.
It would be much easier if you read the article, or googled it, or did anything yourself instead of expecting us to hand feed you knowledge. But... it's not a competitor to bitcoin, it's an augmentation, they work together.
If you want more information..... stop being a lazy ass
Because cars can be used for criminal activity, water can be used for criminal activity, guns can be used for criminal activity. So lets just toss that silly strawman right outta here. Your cash money, credit cards, and debit balance can also "easily be stolen" so again, straw man, lets ignore it.
Extremely Volatile? Really? I haven't be following closely, that's a fact, but when bitcoin first appeare, and normal human beings were still a part of it I was mining coins with my GPU. At that time a single bitcoin was not worth very much. Last time I checked, it's worth more than an ounce of gold.
So there, not that your AC nonsense post deserved an answer, I gave you one, not posted as AC so you can flame away.
But the real short answer?
The end of Bankster Tyranny, that's the entire point of digital currency, to cut out the massive bullshit banking institutions. Why is it doomed? Because they are putting bitcoin markets and trading right into the hands of the banking cartels it was designed to avoid.
That has always bugged me. Who are WE to determine that life has to be like US. Screw the habitable zone, there is ample life found on OUR planet that is found in areas considered inhabitable. Why assume life out there would be carbon based, breath, and require water? We're looking for life outside of this little snowglobe, but we've placed a mirror infront of the telescope.
We'll miss extraterrestrial life because we were looking for ourselves the whole time.
How is that different than any other authentication system? I think you are misunderstanding what happened and the implications. Not everyone leverages office 365. TONS of companies have implemented Federation Services.
They are not the same thing.
Well anyone who's worked with PAM or Kerberos would understand why Federated Services are pretty much required.
Or are you ok with trusting every domain you want your company to interact with?
I didn't realize this was about the different levels of perversity. I guess I got confused by the fact that it's actually about the court jailing a guy until he de-crypts his harddrive because he MAY have child porn on it.
It's not about child porn. It's about building a case against encryption. Terrorism didn't pan out, so they now (as I fully anticipated) fall back to child porn, because who the hell isn't disgusted with that?
It's not about the content, it's about convincing Joe Blow and Joe SixPack that encryption is bad because..... kiddie porn.
You don't think this is actually about child porn, do you? You can't be that thick, can you? You must understand, even at a very basic level, that kiddie porn has been, and always will be, a lynch pin in the restrictions of your rights and freedoms.
We must outlaw encryption because.... TERRORISM! But... the terrorists didn't use encryption. KIDDIE PORN! EVERYONE HATES THAT! I've called this so many times. In fact, if you go through my post history you should find some posts on the Apple case with the FBI, where I literally said this exact this is going to happen (unless I posted as AC, depends on the computer i'm at).
They've used this to fight piracy and boost copyright laws. They've used it to completely destroy usenet. And they are using it now to destroy encryption.
And the best part of all of this? The NSA and any law enforcement agency that bothers to ask, already likely has access to the network these images came from. This isn't about stopping child porn, and it's not about protecting kids and putting pedophiles in jail.
It's about outlawing, or neutering, encryption because it takes slightly more effort to spy on you if you use encryption.
It has never been about child porn. Ever
