Not me, not until they've been out for a year and I can tell there aren't any major issues like this. Even then maybe not. Been an Apple customer since 2010.
You really should just read the indictment, you will get a very different picture. They were really only supporting Trump. They “supported” Hillary with false-flag operations designed to lend legitimacy to Trump supporters, e.g. posing as supporters while holding up signs with fake quotes about Hillary supporting Sharia law, etc. They obviously did care which side won.
Uh, yes they were, actually. £35m in profits were distributed. That's 30% of their £105m total revenue.
So, what, are you saying their net margin was something like 70-80% and the other 40-50% of that money got transferred offshore? That seems implausible but if you have some kind of source I'd be open to reading it.
So what you're saying is...you would be in favor of distributing profits among all employees? Which is what I said also. Yes inequality is a problem that's why I said what I said. I'm befuddled why you would essentially agree with me but phrase it as though you're taking a contrary position.
Right but so what? I didn't say it was likely to be supported by non-participating shareholders. If we only proposed changes that already had the support of every stakeholder nothing would change, ever.
This is actually the way I'd like to see all businesses work. Distribute profits among all employees and tax it as individual income. In a time of stagnant wages and rising inequality what about this practice is bad?
"Cryptocat is run by people that don't know crypto, make stupid mistakes, and not enough eyes are looking at their code to find the bugs. Cryptographers know the minimums or at least know you should look them up. Cryptocat tried PBKDF2, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECC and managed to mess them all up because they used iterations or key sizes less than the minimums. There was a bug in the generation of ECC private keys that went unchecked for 347 days."
(As far as the competence of the people behind heml.is, I can't say one way or the other.)
"Civil rights" just means our rights to have privileges offered in in a fair and equal way to all. So for example, they can turn you down for a driver's license (a privilege) if you fail the driver's test, but not simply because you're black. If I open my store doors for people to come on my property to transact business (their privilege, not their right) then I have to open the doors for everybody. Just because racial (e.g.) discrimination is prohibited doesn't mean it's not a privilege.
Because it doesn't require my instantaneous attention and I get to control when I reply.
Neither does Twitter. Nor will Google Wave.
The problem with email isn't its asynchronous nature and that's not what's being declared dead here. Everyone loves that part. The problem is how its oversimplified inbox/outbox/folder/reply-to-all format overcomplicates multi-person and multi-project conversations. Gmail made a lot of progress by ditching folders in favour of labels and powerful search, but the basic problems still remain. Google was right, a brand new open protocol is needed that doesn't try to remain compatible with IMAP, POP and SMTP.
Twitter, on the other hand, is an awesome option for stuff on the other end of the scale - very quick casual questions or comments. Because it removes the social overhead of initiating email contact -- makes it more like just a comment to someone on the street. Twitter makes it easy to make contact and interact with both friends and strangers on a very light level. I've asked questions of people on Twitter that I never would have if email was my only option.
IIRC, the 100-phone limit is only for if you want to distribute your app privately (e.g., corporate in-house apps, etc). Anyone can distribute freeware to the world through the "App Store" for free (e.g. no cost to you as developer, and no cost to users if you set your price at zero dollars). Most of the apps demoed at wwdc were freeware.
The thriving free market of insurance is not raping us, it is the government pumping cash into healthcare that is raping us by distorting the market.
And what does the idea of a free market have to do with police and armies? What about government centralization has purified the armies of Burma or the police of North Korea, for example? Seems to me more like the most centralized governments have the most oppressive police forces.
You would have done better to offer some specific historical examples of free-market failure. (Fire departments??)
After hearing about Stephenson for years (mainly on this site) I finally picked up a copy of Quicksilver during an airport layover. What a mistake. I trudged through it for about a week, thinking I might eventually stumble upon something more like a plot, you know, that would make you mildly curious about what comes next. Gave up about three quarters of the way through.
Oh, and right away he barrages you with the laughable similes. Just check out the first page of the novel: "her head forces [the noose] open like an infant's dilating the birth canal." - what in the heck???? It gets worse from there. What a joke. He's my new favorite author to hate.
If you do, make sure you can boot from the dvd first - worked flawlessly for me but other people on forums have warned about it.
Also, you may have a hard time actually deleting the partition. I downloaded a GParted livecd iso, burned it to cdr, then booted from that to safely edit the partition table. Then you will have fix the MBR on your main drive (GParted didn't get that part right for some reason), so boot from the sony recovery dvd, select the repair option which will automatically fix it for you.
Bought one (new on ebay for $2800) to replace a Toshiba that cost me $900 in 2002, and it's great. It works for me because I don't play high end video games, and is very snappy and VERY light.
I love that I can stick it in my little backpack and hardly feel it.
With wifi on I can get 6 hours of battery life pretty easily, more with it off.
The screen quality is the best I have ever seen.
You can burn bootable recovery DVDs and wipe the 9GB recovery partition. With MS Office and OpenOffice installed and a couple GB of music, I have 13GB free.
Pop it onto the docking station and I have access to an external HD - no need to carry ALL my photos with me everywhere I go.
The keyboard is a little small but surprisingly not bad. It didn't take me long to find that I prefer hitting Fn-Left/RightArrow for Home/End and Fn-Up/DownArrow for PageUp/PageDown - less moving around for my fingers.
I don't even know what bootup times are because it just goes into sleep mode whenever I close the lid, takes maybe five seconds to come back up. I think I've done a full reboot maybe four times since the initial "cleanout" (which is the one downside for me - you will spend about a day cleaning up all the garbage and adware that comes preinstalled).
I do mainly writing, php programming, video/photo editing, web design, and of course email/web. You have no idea what a productivity boon it is to be able to take your laptop everywhere with you, whip it out when you want it without worrying about battery life, then just pop it onto a docking station at night to charge just like a cell phone.

I'd say we definitely need something besides Cryptocat:

Time to bring back the BBSs!
Wait till Hitler finds out about this!!! woooooohhh boy!!
I visualized this idea in a graph a few years ago.

I guess they'll know they had a "syntax error" if the monkey fails to understand the warning and gets killed by the falling tree.

I don't blame it. If I were a Large Hadron Collider, I would probably struggle too.

Use either TCT or CTC.

Do such problems exist? Well, chaos theory is full of them.
The reason they are not computable because of a calculational impasse, not because they are inherently unpredictable.
OK, so yeah, it makes it harder to type one-handed. BIG drawback :-P

did cmdrtaco really just talk about /. "chasing after...kuro5hin", even in a theoretical sense?? that is bizarre. who'da thunk.
if hardly anyone is aware of its origin or its possible interpretation as a racial slur, is it still a racial slur in practice? explain.
no, but your browser will need the latest Adobe plugins in order for your operating system to boot properly.
