I have to totally disagree, its 100% the editors fault. This is a sign of being rank amateur, and they should have their credentials ( if any ) yanked..
Cant tell you for sure now as i didn't use my devices all the time, but i think it was like 4.0 to 4.1. They killed off a video cable i had and a portable speaker system.
Check out "re-supported" in the cydia market. It was the main reason i jail-broke my old 3gs back then, so i could buy that.
Chernobyl would trash your bios flash on some boards and wouldn't re-flash without jtag ( non existent on those boards ) and require a cut/replace. Also, i cant remember its name now, but there was one long ago that could attack flash on a limited range of Seagate and Western Digital hard-drives.
And i agree with the theory as I have personally seen a virus pop a monitor. But i'm sure it was weak to start with.
I have heard some high schools had links back to the local college for their office staff and had a couple of terminals for students. Often times it was just for typing class but it was there.
No really, this isn't a 'arrg matey' moment as if Microsoft made a decent product they wouldn't have to screw us a second time with paying a license fee to correct their lack of security in the product in the first place.
As far as i'm concerned i'm entitled to it as an already paying customer.
The correct question is what did you teach in high school. We got a pet close to my graduation and i had to teach the librarian how to use it. Later she became the instructor for 'computer classes'...
Would be to allow a bill back process for every false claim ( and perhaps a fine too ). If the accusers have to pay for mistakes they will be a bit more careful before they start carpet bombing.
There needs to be *at a minimum* public education on this issue, and if nobody is willing to do that, then handheld lasers need to be outright banned for unlicensed individuals. This opinion is unpopular for slashdot, but shit really has gotten out of hand.
No, i'm not going to willingly give up my rights because someone else is a moron.
And i dont even want one... and id still fight against that.
Doesn't undo the damage, and could make it worse and move to a total pay-per-use. You don't have unlimited water or power do you? No, you pay for every electron that flows thru your house.
Anyone still remember the days of GEnie or compuserve when you were almost afraid to login to check mail due to your 'hard' cap? Depending on how much spam you got, you might get billed and have no time left over for fun.
Opening up to unlimited was the biggest boost to the internet there was since opening it to commercial use. While i don't see a 'crash' coming, i do see a slow collapse to where its a shadow of its current self.
That would be my first, and main reason as well. Same reason i rooted my nook touch, so i could read mobi native.. Having native access to both main formats is far better than having to convert and hope... ( now that both support pdf, that became a non-issue, but the mobi/epub issue is still there )
Having direct access to the both 'markets' for books is good too.
That is the whole point of e-ink, to provide a good readable display. LCD sucks for anything other than a quick glance of a tech book where you *need* color or a larger format. ( where is my color e-ink amazon and B&N.. ?? )
Slashdot Mirror
Ill give you this copy of photo shop, and its ok as i copied it.
Is fast approaching, and the entire tech industry will collapse under the weight of mutually exclusive patents.
Only the attorneys will be working at that point.
So what is old is new. This is why Microsoft came to being, to fight against the 'services' model.
Admitting defeat must be hard for them.
Nothing more needs to be said. its stupid.

I think.. wtf is Diaspora? I know i could go look it up but i shouldn't have to.

Like when a simple OS version change now made all my existing cables and most of my 3rd party dock accessories "not compatible with this device".
They worked the day before..
Thankfully we have 're-supported' but i shouldn't have had to jailbreak my iPhone to use what i was using just fine the day before.
No greed here. Grumble.

So 1973 by itself doesn't prevent it.

You know what water companies don't do? They don't make you pay $10/mo. for 10 liters of water or $20/mo. for 80 liters of water.
No, but there no unlimited water plans for a flat fee which is really what this discussion is about.
Doesn't undo the damage, and could make it worse and move to a total pay-per-use. You don't have unlimited water or power do you? No, you pay for every electron that flows thru your house.
How can you create a legal ban for a person using a legal product?
Where is the ACLU?

Should invalidate him to serve on that particular committee.
In the end, we will see who was right...
Unless we find that science was right, as then you just die and wont know the difference.
His crime was pissing off the industry.
I have used both on my rooted nook. Why would the kindle be any different?
You can covert easily, but what comes out the other end isn't always that great.
