Nice try, Rusky troll! That sneaky Putin is paying you to post messages on \. to try & throw us off the trail. We know it was Donald Trump, aided by your comrades using Facebook ads to manipulate the price of Bitcoin! Mueller's has the goods and is going to spill the beans to the media any day now!
I think it's generally agreed by both sides that it would have been ideal if Apple had explained what was going on and provided a switch. The question here is whether lack of such warrants the government getting involved. I would say no.
I'm right there with you. The problem is these days everyone seeks a political solution or a legal solution. Acting ethically would have helped to avoid the entire issue.
But what I considered most important -- making it through my day's activities on one charge -- was the way it was acting. I'm glad Apple installed this change. I appreciate the change. The only fault that I see is that Apple didn't tell us. The fact that they made the change benefited me. I really don't care that they didn't tell me; it just would have been nice.
Therein lies the problem. For some people, performance is more important than battery life. Apple could have avoided this entire mess if they had simply made it an option that the users could choose, instead of making the decision for them.
I am 100% in favor of Net Neutrality, the Paris Accord, Common Core and a $15 Minimum Wage in New York & California. Let them lead the nation, and we'll see how well those policies work out. That's the idea behind federalism, where the states can be labs for democracy.
At least in the US, a larger percentage of the citizens have been convinced that private corporations can only do good, and government can only do bad.
I think the majority distrust both, but we have a choice in what corporations we deal with. Neither Google nor MasterCard are going to show up at our house unexpectedly with a S.W.A.T. team & kill us.
You're right. The government should step in and create a system, but I don't see that ever happening in the US.
The only system the government would come up with would let both the corporations and the government be able to track all of your purchases.
scientifically proven matching system decodes the mystery of compatibility and chemistry
Of course eHarmony couldn't provide scientific evidence to back up it's claims.
That's simple. Just put add a disclaimer:

You're already in control of who sees photos you're tagged in. You can chose to review them before release, as well. The photo will still be on Facebook, but your friends/girlfriend/whoever won't see that you're tagged in it, and unless they're friends with the poster, they won't see it at all.
My point is that if someone posts your photo without your permission, it won't be seen at all by anyone, not just the poster's friends.
If they give you the option to block the photo, it could be very useful. You get notifications if someone tags you in a photo, but what if someone uploaded a less than flattering photo of you and doesn't tag it. An ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse or something like that which you might not see. If people have to approve photos of them before the photo got posted to a timeline, it might also help slow down the mass of info being posted.
You're confused, because Kennedy and especially LBJ (who did the most for civil rights in response to MLK) were democrats. The fact that LBJ gave people their rights is the whole reason why the south flipped.
You're confused, rights (for the most part) are inherent. If something's given to you, it's an entitlement.
A farmer in Michigan took out the internet with a backhoe for several hours. His farm is on the I-94 corridor and he accidentally cut through Merit's backbone connection. It made being the LMS administrator for a college with 500+ online courses a lot of fun. Phone rings: "Hi, I can't connect to my online classes!"
Now, let's see what happens over the next year or so. And yes, a us presidents actions normally take 6-12 months to take hold. And since trump has not pass a single item that really impacted the economy, this remains Obama's.
He has removed a bunch of anti-business regulations that Obama had put in place by Executive Order, so there's that...
Compared to the size of the population, isn't that a rounding error at best?
Not for 228,000 those people. Besides, not all people work. You have retirees, permanently disabled & children that don't participate in the workforce, so the impact is more significant that you might think, especially since it's just one month.
This is going to crash hard, and probably fairly soon, and people will react with "We could not have foreseen this at all!" And I will be over here, laughing at them.
That seems to be what politics has done the last 30 years. Apparently wiping out humanity is some secret goal of politics. After attempts to sterilize the planet with nukes have failed, global warming seems to be the fallback-plan.
It's ironic, because most global warming alarmists also global population alarmists.

Well, of course they do!
The "artistâ(TM)s impression of a flash from FRB 121102" photo in the article is both hilarious and scary that this is how science is reported.
What's scary is how accurately that star is to be able to hit the radio telescope, especially since the radio signal is so strong that it's visible!

Yeah it was probably the Reptilians working with the Bilderberg Group and the Clinton Foundation
Everyone knows those are just fronts for the Bavarian Illuminati.
"Get a see-through case," he replied with a smile.
That's exactly what I did for my iPhone 7 Plus. It works perfect, best case I've ever owned: SUPCASE Ares Bumper Case with Built-in Screen Protector
The Internet allows decentralized access to data. It promises nothing.
The Internet doesn't like to be anthropromorphized!

From this Reddit post:
Now that Net Neutrality has been killed, my ISP won't allow me to go to Reddit unless I upgrade my service to the Internet Unlimited(TM) pack. :-(

But that's not what the "Quoran" said. It said not to drink fermented grapes.
Jesus on the other hand, turned jars of water into wine for a wedding feast when they had already polished off the supply.
A vulnerability from back in 2017 is probably old enough to not be worth fixating.
I remember 2017 like it was only a couple of days ago...

This didn't happen in 2014. Why do you think it will suddenly become a problem today?
Because Trump. Net Neutrality is just the beginning, concentration camps are just around the corner!
Goodbye to the internet we've come to know and love.
Yes, goodbye social media, trolls & autoplay videos!
ok bud. i have never used it as a handheld and don't plan to. serious players use it as a console.
How do you defined a serious gamer? A PC gamer?
Only if they have a neck beard & fedora...
