I'm being serious here with this question: Why do people feel that EVERY new device needs a public address? 99.9% of mobile devices would be quite happy behind NAT. And, the vast majority of 'home' PC's would work behind NAT. Most corporate LANs are also sitting safely behind them.
Sure there are some exceptions, but most people really don't need unrestricted incoming connections.
Is wider use of NAT the 'answer'? Perhaps not, but it would extend use of v4 for decades..
Right, niche markets demand niche applications. Some tasks just aren't 'easy' by nature and if you dumb down your GUI ( and perhaps features ) to accommodate the average user, you alienate your true market.
I have always felt that production 3D work has been one of those markets.
If i come to your house for dinner, bought a covered dish and then you hide the utensils on me, it would be a more accurate analogy.
Until they offer a supported way to do this, they are working to prevent it. This is a black and white issue, don't try to make it into something its not.
And no, i haven't ditched my iphone yet. But i guarantee you the day i cant JB a new version if iOS it goes into the garbage and i wont ever buy another apple product.
To me, until it doesn't require any 'tricks' to make it happen and becomes a simple 'press this button at your own risk' function they are actively trying to prevent it .
Remember too, that with each OS release they fix the holes that were exploited in the previous to accomplish it, so again i say they are making an effort.
Umm, they actively try to prevent jail breaking, so yes they are trying to stop you. They also have the 'right' to do this with their products. I also never said about it being illegal for me to do what i wanted with my device.
The point is just that its getting tiresome of having to "fight" to do what i want with it.
No, they don't *have* to support it. Technically you broke the contract/warranty so they could easily add it to the EULA that they can simply say you are out of support and charge you full price for the phone since you 'damaged it' then cancel your contract on the spot. OR charge you a sizable fee to 'unbreak' it at one of their stores. ( reload/restore/etc )
And yes i do realize that the carriers want to/will lock them down, regardless of what OS, for a number of 'network protection' reasons. However it seems at least the manufactures of android phones are a bit more friendly than Apple at this point for those of us who do want to fully utilize their device, and did not get it to use as a phone as its primary function. For me being a 'phone' is just a side benefit for emergency use as i HATE talking on the phone. For me its a PDA that isn't chained to wifi ( which is the main reason why i switched from a palm T/X to an iphone )... Id even be willing to turn off the phone service if they offered 'data only' plans.
I'm beginning to lose faith and have actually started considering an Android phone ( but to find something that is comparable that isn't locked down as bad by the carrier. )
I still have every aple device i ever owned, from my first apple ][, and I'm really getting tired of this. Its my "box", let me use it as i want. If you don't want to support/warrant me, fine..
I'm also worried about the long term future of the computer side of things, if it will end up in a similar locked down state.
And what's this thing about "the engine is only suited for hybrid-electric vehicles, but that's okay. "... what does THAT mean?
My guess is that it wont handle rapid speed changes well and is most efficient at a constant speed, so running a generator is about the only thing it will do well. Just like any other turbine.
It wasn't useless and did multitask. True it was via special applications referred to as 'accessories'. However, if you used a wedge you could stick any application in as an accessory and as long as it didn't need to write to the screen to keep running while back grounded, it worked rather well..
Slashdot Mirror
Lowering of standards has been pretty common of late. I would expect them to do this.
No, they simply support the new wave of everyone streaming their content from places like netflix, pandora, amazon, etc.
Of course if you do this you get penalized, but that's not my point.
That's useful. Thanks comcrap.
I don't trust Oracle. Give me one good reason why we should?

Suck.
SSNs are "not to be used for identification purposes."
You actually believe that is still the case?
Sorry, it had to be done so that you could continue to use Sony ammunition
And if you decide to use non-Sony ammunition in your own private range, and tell others about it, you get sued into oblivion.
Well you don't expect me to reveal that to just anyone. "They" would come looking for me.
Depends on who was paying the salary. Perhaps there was a more sinister mission, and its been completed.

NOT a businessman.
As much as i respect him for who he is and what he has done, if he thinks hes going to come in when Jobs dies and "rescue" the company, hes misguided.
Much as Jobs isn't an engineer, both of them have their place in the world.

I don't think he will be 'dissaspeared' for 'inventing' the gas turbine.
Not just any people, but government workers
No, *any* people not just government workers. In the case of threats, no one is 'special'.
Was it THAT Much cheaper to go thru all that trouble just to make a few bucks?
Real drives are not that expensive to begin with, i cant see why it would have been worth it.
Man i feel old now.. And it sad to see part of our history 'die'.
Once you are bald, you will rethink that idea.

Atari did it first and better. So take that!
( Ah the good old days of Amiga/Atari wars, hot on the heels of the 8-bit battles.. but in the end, we all lost )
