Yes, because a small general purpose PC (a Smartphone) is exactly the same thing as a washing machine.
And you've attempted to update the software on your whirlpool and been deliberately thwarted by measures the manufacturer put in specifically to prevent you doing this.
Tool.
A Smartphone is NOT a general purpose PC any more than a washing machine is. Tool.
There wouldn't be this stupid cat and mouse game if Apple would give people a legitimate means of opening up the device. They refuse to, thus people get annoyed when Apple stamps their shiny metal and white boot down again and again.
Yeah, I know. I'm still fighting with Whirlpool over their defiance about opening up the software on my washing machine. I want to be able to have it do three spin cycles in stead of two.
Yeah, it is not like the vulnerabilities used by jailbreak tools could ever be also used by malware or anything.
This. All the fandroids cry, "Apple is bad at security - just look at the jailbreaks!" Then Apple plugs the jailbreaks and they all rage, "Apple is evil, closing the jailbreaks!" No matter what Apple does, it's bad in the eyes of the raging fandroid. If Tim Cook announced that he wiped his ass north-to-south, they'd be complaining he didn't do it south-to-north.
You're mistaking Apple for Google. Apple has always been evil. People like evil, as long as it looks cool.
The meme of "looks cool" being the only reason people buy Apple is stupid and needs to die. You need to drop your blind hate and see that people buy Apple because the devices fit their needs better. That's why I bought an iPad. I really couldn't care less what I look like using it. In fact, I rarely use it in public.
It's really tough to fight those trolls. The only way some people can rationalize that someone else thinks an iPhone better suits their needs is to accuse them of wanting it only for a status symbol. They actually believe that is why people buy them. The very idea is laughable, but their raging hate for Apple blinds them from the fact that some people find iDevices best. I am one of them. Oh, and my iPad cover DOES NOT have a hole for the icon. My phone is a regular dumb-phone, because that is my choice.
Super easy fix: remove the income cap. Without the income cap (currently around $112K), SSA would be so flush with cash, we would stop hearing the tired meme that SSA is going bankrupt for at least 50 years.
you are someone who at least can stick to something long enough to finish it.
That is not the message a modern degree sends.
The modern degree sends a message that you are a herd animal, to the point that you will stay with the herd even to the point of your own financial ruin.
There's no question that to some companies a docile herd animal with no instincts for self-preservation is a valuable resource.
Oh, BS. What's the matter, couldn't you make it through college and get a degree. Sounds a lot like sour grapes to me.
Mostly because they don't get thrown away. Buy a new one and the old one just gets pushed to another room. Next thing you know, you have more TVs than people.
Modded funny . . . ? I just got back from a business trip to Brussels. The folks there told me that their office was recently burglarized. The thieves took valuable iPads, but didn't touch worthless ThinkPad W520s.
So there is value, in having something, that isnt valuable.
I have to seriously disagree - I'm a part owner (largest minority share) in the startup I work at, I'm CTO, and I work my a** off. I get in at 9am, work through lunch much of the time, get "off" at 6pm, then go home, do dinner with the family, and half of my weeknights I go back to work. I work every other weekend. I have one intern, and I also play "Manager" of most of the company as well as my programming and other technical pursuits. I have to ensure salespeople are hitting their goals, working with them to set reasonable goals, and discussing with my other two partners when those goals aren't met. I am on the hook for a not insignificant percentage of the company's debt, so yeah, I'm gonna be pissed if people are slacking off and I'm paying out the nose for it.
The key difference between you and "Manager" is "part owner," as you say. I'm talking about middle management.
Actually management tends to work a lot. Even if they are not at work they are working.
Now I am not saying that CEO current rates are fair, they are too high right now. But it is fare for the management to get paid more, as they do work verry hard, even if you don't see it.
ROTFLMAO. Management does not work. They push paper and hold meetings.
Total fail. Haven't you ever noticed that jails are stuffed full of dark people? White people get off with much less time than dark people for the same crimes. You are perpetuating the myth of the underprivileged white guy. Shut up crybaby white guy.
I've got to disagree with you on Windows Blue. Whoever gave it that name is either clueless (BSOD) or has a sense of humor. The boss should NOT have let it be codenamed Blue (SOD).
If poor hygiene causes disease then farmers care about. Disease means higher veterinary bills, and poorer quality animals worth less at the end. Obviously, if fixing the hygiene problem costs more than the gain in efficiency is worth then the high intensity farmers will let the cattle stand around in shit.
It seems to me that if you want the cows to shit themselves, all you'd need to do is show them a video of what awaits them at the end of their life.
It's only a hygiene problem when you stuff too many cows in too little space. Cows do not mind standing in their own shit, so potty training is useless.
Easy fix: remove the income cap. There is no moral reason for paying only on the first $112K of income, or even "earned income." SS would be flush with funds without the income cap.

How dare you insult my Smart Washing Machine. Tool.

Seriously "Do no evil?"

You are doing ill to steer people to a financial demise without thought.
Way to go again, Mister Hyperbole.
I have a degree, from Rice University in Houston.
Oh, then by your own words you're a docile herd animal with no instincts for self-preservation. Thanks for playing.
the real value of a degree is the signal it sends
Very true!
you are someone who at least can stick to something long enough to finish it.

what the fuck is gizmag?
When I were a lad, we spilled it jizz mag, and we were happy.

Wrong. For example, don't you know that sentences for crack cocaine (black people) are way stiffer than for powder (white people)?
Buy less junk to steal. Spend your money on 'experiences'. Travel, art, fun, whatever...
You can have a lot less stuff to steal by just sending me all your cash.

watching FOX news does not count as an "endless stream of evidence" on this issue, any more than it does for watching CNN or MSNBC FTFY
False equivalence. Only a Fox-newser would even try such a claim.

It's also better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!
