Obviously you must be a right-wing cuntservative seeing as you automatically label me "left wing" without having any knowledge or insight as to my opinion on politics.
Rant on, oh mouth-frothing spittle-spewing diatribe-screaming fucktard....
Because with all the issues facing society, what do people talk about around the water cooler?
How "their team" did or about their favourite TV show. Not about any issues that face society, like the disparity between the incomes of the 1% and the rest of the population. Not about the fact that any one of these athletes salaries could raise 30-40 people to middle class from poverty.
Rome is burning, and everyone is watching Caesar's games...
I despise sports. Team sports. One on one sports. Contact sports. Group sports.
It's all paying ridiculous amounts of money to millionaire "athletes" to watch them play a game. I have nothing against playing games -- I have a thing against paying people to watch them do it.
Which is precisely why the world should see this video. Because those "ideals" are far too prevalent in Indian society, and the nation should not be allowed to gloss over just how backwards so many of their people are beneath a veneer of respectability. It wasn't until this case that rape was even really taken seriously by the government itself, and then only because of mass protests.
It's not that all the people support the viewpoint by any means.
But it's important to show the world just how entrenched that viewpoint is in Indian society so that the rest of the world can apply pressure for things to change.
If they want a real test, try Orlando, Florida. I found it the most trying city to drive in of any I've ever lived in, thanks to the joyous combination of people visiting from Ohio that expect a mile clear ahead of them and people from New York who think 6 inches is enough of a gap for someone to cut them off.
How can you compare a business that has only two real products (Firefox and Thunderbird) to a company that had several iterations of hardware and dozens of software products, as well as service, support, and contracting arms?
Of course Mozilla is on the downslide -- Chrome came along to compete with them, and Internet Explorer was improved, while Safari came into existence. Mozilla still make my browser and email clients of choice, but not all people make the same choice.
And so it should be.
But while Mozilla may be waning in popularity and market share, they are hardly imploding like Sun did. They were never any where near as big nor as important to the industry to begin with!
Given the depth of surveillance performed by CSEC and the NSA, I think it's been *proven* that telcos could *easily* detect and block the sources of robo-calls, too.
My guess is the robo-call companies pay them big bucks to harass everyone, so the telcos have no motivation to do shit about the problem.
I disagree. If they have a proper warrant for a search, you are compelled to assist with that search if necessary.
If the object being searched is a safe, you are compelled to unlock it. The same should apply to a phone.
That said, border services does not get warrants for a search. The worst they should be able to do is seize it until they can get a warrant to search the device, and be forced to return it unharmed if they cannot do so.
Windows 10 will indeed rule the smartphone market and absolutely dwarf Android and iOS.
However, as 2015 is also the year of Linux on the desktop, Microsoft's total market share will remain stagnant when all devices are accounted for.:P:P:P
Dice floods Slashdot with product launches as "news".
I wonder how much the vendors are paying them to promote their products?
I don't care what class of hardware they're shilling on a given day. Product launches belong on hardware review sites, not an IT related discussion forum.
WTF is there to "discuss" about a product launch? Whether you hate/love the vendor? Whether you believe their "increased spec X" claims? To rant that you'll never buy one or rave that you've got to have one?
You can find "proof" of anything you want to on the internet, whether it be that the Queen of England is really a lizard or that Steven Harper is a bible-thumping arsehole. You can "prove" Obama isn't really an American, that Kanye West is gawd or that Kanye West is the biggest ego to ever hit the planet.
The internet is just chock full of articles, forums, blogs, and other sources you can cite to support your pre-determined outcome.
It has always been this way -- there is no "fact checking" required to post something. On the other hand, there is no "editor" on a "mission" to change what you post, either.
At the core of it, the problem is not the internet nor the history it exposes, but the viciousness and old-fashioned nastiness of people who want to destroy others, often just because they can. Add that in to the human stew that just loves to hear and read nasty gossip about people they're jealous of, and you have a recipe for the "loser edit."
Where the internet differs from reality TV, though, is that with "reality" TV, all the episodes are subject to "loser edits" because that's what builds "characters" out of hours and hours of otherwise useless footage into something the general public will suck back like sweetened pablum.
I know you can configure some options for PGP to block the use of insecure ciphers, but is there any way to configure a Linux/Debian box so that it refuses to accept insecure ciphers by default? Not just for the browser, but globally for all SSL connections.
I don't give two shits about someone's web portal losing eyeballs and customers. If you're selling relevant products, you'll show up in the search results. If you're not, I don't give a damn about you. You don't have a "right" to profit -- you have to earn it.
Five minutes with Google and no Apple-rosy glasses.
Most Linux libraries are built with C. Does that mean you have to use C to program Linux? Of course not.
So too with the existing Objective-C libraries. The language used to write a library is irrelevant; what matters is the language bindings the programmer uses to invoke the libraries.
So you can still use Objective-C. However, Apple seems to be encouraging you to use Swift for any new development, while not expecting you to go back and re-write all of your Objective-C code.
Swift was created in order to replace Objective-C, however, Swift is capable of working alongside Objective-C while using Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks.
The fact that Apple has to maintain internals using Objective-C does not conflict with the fact that they're pushing platform developers to use Swift. There are pieces of Apple's stack written in C, C++, and probably even other languages as well, seeing as the vast majority of their code base comes from open source.
Of course Apple hasn't said Objective-C is a dead end. There would be a revolt and a mass fleeing from the platform if they did that.
But they sure as hell aren't encouraging people to stay on Objective-C instead of moving to Swift.
Are you sure you're on the same internet as the rest of us? I've read several articles and summaries (including on Slashdot) that have made it clear Apple wants people to use Swift.
Oh, wait. Never mind. Apple person. You don't deal with the same reality as the rest of the world.

Technically your GST expenses are used as credits to pay your GST due, but the net effect is that you don't pay for inbound GST.
Unless, of course, you're bleeding money like a sieve, in which case your incoming GST is greater than your outgoing GST.
That's done in Canada. It's called the GST (Goods and Services Tax.)
It's done nothing to reduce contracting and outsourcing, because the taxes are write-off expenses for the companies involved.
Main stream click bait calls the injuries "serious".
Sadly, up here in Canada, that includes some pretty big media outlets.
The caller-id squirt happens after the first ring, so they can't block it before the second.
Yeah, you just happend to "forget" the password to the phone you're carrying that is fully charged and activated.
That's believable.
Not!

Yes.
Exactly.
Product launches are not news.

Are the search results relevant to my query?
That's all I care about.
I don't give two shits about someone's web portal losing eyeballs and customers. If you're selling relevant products, you'll show up in the search results. If you're not, I don't give a damn about you. You don't have a "right" to profit -- you have to earn it.
The whole question of Swift vs. Objective-C is irrelevant, anyhow. The original article is asking about C++ vs. Objective-C.
Their initial target platform is Linux, not MacOS or iOS.
Which brings me back to my original point: Objective-C is a dead-end.

Most Linux libraries are built with C. Does that mean you have to use C to program Linux? Of course not.
