The latest version of iMessage clearly has access to various iOS APIs. It runs mini-Swift applications with animation, forms, and other stuff. It reaches into the host OS to provide its flashy, whiz-bang features.
How could Apple possibly port that to Android without also porting chunks of iOS?
Yeah how would APPLE ever copy a subset of the functionality that WhatsApp have developed for 300 times as many different platforms, with less than 50 programmers.
But I don't understand why it is necessary to put into a bill. This is already how it works in the rest of the world, without any special laws enforcing it. A contract only remains valid as long as both parties agree to it and does their part. Once one party cancels the agreement, the other party is free. So if an employer stops paying, everything the employee has signed and agreed to is rendered invalid. The only way for a contract to remain valid is for both paries to give something. It is impossible for a job contract to enforce terms beyond the time-period where income is paid.
Contracts that extended beyond the perioed salary is paid used to be allowed in medievel times, but created serfdom by making people sell themselves (and sometimes their children) into slavery, but was outlawed with slavery and serfdom.
This is for out of band management so devices can be monitored and restarted remotely (think: enterprise environments). Nothing to get wrinkles in your tin hat over.:)
Yes, it is only for monitoring and controlling your computer remotely. Nothing to see here, nothing to worry about, move along please..
Even things like Wikinews at least have some element of journalism and truth to them more often that the TV channels or papers.
This is the problem I have with the Press. They have too much power and influence.
Currently, the UK is debating whether or not to remain in the EU. The UK's most popular* newspaper is telling its readers to vote out. The Press should not be allowed to influence its readers into making decisions based upon its** opinion.
* Popular != Good ** The opinion of the editor
That is not the real problem. The newspaper can express any opinion they want. The problem is that they have been LYING for decades and blamed all kinds of nonsense on the EU, that either had nothing to do with EU, or in most cases: Simply wasn't true.
If you got rid of the blatent lies. It opinions of the tabloids wouldn't in themselves be a problem.
It is the Voice of America news service and because it is a tiny government funded news service it really tries to provide a balance coverage without any spin. The reason is that it does not have to find sponsors and it is so tiny no one in the government bothers with it. Before you dismiss it just take a look at.
Which is somehow ironic considering what VOA has been founded to be....
News have gotten so bad, that old-school propaganda is less biased.
yep, some of us aren't so OCD that coming home to a too hot or cold home is a big deal. we tough it out for 30 minutes instead of turning the AC on remotely of having it run all day. this seems like a millennial product for the younger crowd who are still in their whiny everything must be perfect phase of their lives. us old people in the we're too cheap phase will tough it out and save the cash.
Or have homes that are not of terrible construction quality or terrible design, and can hold an approximate temperature for more than a few hours.
And what password do you use for the password manager.
Also, you now can have ALL your passwords stolen if you lose your phone. This is about as good an advise as having your PIN-code on a post-it note on you credit card.
Just a small point, but Denmark is losing money on supporting Greenland. Indeed the deal between them is that Denmark pays some fixed stipend, then receives half the income from resources, as long as the latter is smaller than the former.
You've got it backwards. The mineral law stipulates that Greenland gets 100% of the royalties on mineral extraction up to 500m krónur without reduction in the block grant, then everything after that is shared depending on a contract that both parties have to approve - aka Denmark won't approve unless there's something in it for them. Greenlanders were quite unhappy with the arrangement, but it's the way it is. As "Denmark-Greenland in the Twentieth Century" observed, "This arrangement shows a considerable Danish political and economic interest. Not only would the activity be under close observation, but also the Greenlanders would not be allowed to have the entire surplus if there really was something to earn." And with Greenland being one of the world's great untapped mining frontiers with vast deposits of many valuable minerals, yet only having a tiny population, you don't see how that is just a weeeeeee bit advantageous to Denmark?
If you think they're a burden, let them go. They want to leave, overwhelmingly. Over 3/4ths voted for independence in the last referendum. If you think they're a burden, then let them be free like they clearly want to be.
No, they don't want to leave, mostly beause they can not survive on their own. Plus wast majority of Greenland is Danish only because Danish military is there. If Denmark left it would be up for graps for anyone, since no greenlanders live there.
What's ruined cycling for everyone in the US is the kamikaze cult that thinks bicycles belong only in ordinary motor vehicle roads and will lie, cheat, and protest to keep it that way. In every location where cycling has a significant modal share it's due to the construction of dedicated cycling facilities. There's a reason the rest of the cycling world looks at the US like a bunch of lunatics.
That is not the reason. Most roads in the most bicycle friendly countries on earth do not have bicycle lanes. For the most part the bicycles share space with vehicles. The cities are however much better and designed (or naturally grown), and roads better thought out and not as wide due to the better city design, so bicycles in the side of the road is rarely a problem. I have however visited the US, and in most of the cities I have seen, I would not want to be cyclist in the side of a US road. The US needs bicycle lanes much more than most European countries.
That "anti-disinfo" project lools like EU trolling, just with a slightly different name. The difference between Russia and the ridiculously corrupt Bruxelles institutions is that the latter don't even deny their own trolling, they just call it "counter narrative" or something like that: http://www.politico.eu/article...
However, luckily it doesn't seem to be very effective, given the EU's sinking popularity among its own (unwilling) citizens: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/bus...
This link(EU vs disinfo) was burried deep in the story, but is rather interesting, though it is unfortunate this particular service only targets pro-Kremlin disinformation.
If 50% of all misogynistic tweets come from women, then it can fairly easily be extrapolated that the whole of modern culture hates women equally.
If that's the case, maybe it's the women that need to change?
I am actually surprised it is not more, since they words they looked for was "slut" and "whore", words primarily used by jealous/in-fighting women and spurned men.
And I don't think either group hates women, they are just reacting using hateful speech because they hate one particular person at that particular time.
No, the tax burden IS LESS than if they didn't provide them, due to the saving they enable, so yes they are entirely free, they are in fact better than free since they pay for themselves and more.
Less does not equal free. By taking advantage of preventative medicine the average cost to a patient is less. Health care is NEVER free. The fact that you pay with tax dollars instead of private insurance doesn't change the fact that you still are paying some amount for the visit.
No, but we are talking about a specific part they provide that results in you having to pay less. The part they provide that causes you to pay less, doesn't cost you anything extra, it in fact cost you less.
And finally we got free routine check ups, the older you get the more frequent they get.
They're not free. You just pay for them with tax dollars instead of insurance premiums. I agree that they are a good idea and I think the US does it in a retarded way but let's not pretend it's free just because you didn't get presented with a bill when you left the office.

You've made an extensive presentation about how her life choices are unhealthy. True, that it is a matter of choice is extremely scientifically debatable, but let's roll with it.
Please add in the part explaining how her health is your business.
Because they are claiming it is healthy. Since that is the claim, that makes it the subject for the discussion.
... to Germany's decision to abandon nuclear power generation for good. Nuclear power generation just means too much accumulation of risk potential in a small space and in the hands of few people. It only takes a very few morons, criminals or MBAs to unleash that risk.
If I remember the numbers correctly. If a nuclear powerplant releases its polution to the air, it still releases less nuclear polution than a coal plant (coal always contains trace amounts of other minerals including radioactive, and we burn A LOT of coal).

It took them that long to file the patent...once the iPhone 6 was released.
Let's face it: "Chinese Intellectual Property Law" is an oxymoron.
The verdict against Samsung copying Apple came 3-4 years after the infringement. What took Apple so long?
To paraphrase you: I guess Apple needed time to copy Samsungs original design?
Either that or court cases take time.

Would the little guy have been justified in getting a patent?
For breathing? I am pretty sure I have encounted prior art..
So over three quarters of them voted for independence because... what, a prank?
That never happened. Indepedence have not be up for an offical referendum, if it had been they would be independent now.
Are there no Inuit left in Greenland?
No they just live in a small strip along one coast of Greenland. The rest of the island is uninhabitet except by researchers and military.
Oops, I read the article too quickly, as it also mentions VS "15":
while this behavior does currently exist in "15", it will be removed in a future preview release.
I didn't realize the article also was talking about VS 2015.
VS 15 is to be MSVS 2016. It it not to be confused with MSVS 2015.
Yes, silly conflicting numbering. What else is new.
