He has no chance of being elected, and he knows that.
He's going to be our next president, I'll say it right here. He's dominating the Republican polls, so much that now he's pivoting and ignoring the other candidates to focus on Hillary.
When it comes to Hillary, she's not actually a very good campaigner. The only election she won was more of an 'appointment' for Senate, choosing a good state to run in, and getting the appropriate power-brokers on her side.
The only good thing that can be said about the upcoming election is: lucky we are living in a great country with a great system, that can thrive even with a lousy president.
The second thing to do is to display all comments by default.
At least show them in collapsed mode by default.
If you get rid of moderation completely, then we'll be inundated by warnings that "Republicans are destroying everything!" and moooo we are all cows. It's the best moderation system on the web, but maybe tweak the defaults a bit.
You keep trying to "beat" me and if you cannot to that then to insult me
I have no desire to beat you.
Wether you like it or not, Apple is currently open source.
You don't know what open source means. It has nothing to do with whether you can side-load your own apps. A walled garden (or not a walled garden) is not the same thing as closed/open source. Now I can see that you have not done much programming (or at least don't know the difference between open and closed source).
"Open source" has to do with whether you can see the source code. Some parts of iOS source code are open, which is great (mainly the parts taken from Mach and BSD), because you can see them and download them from Apple's website. Other parts are closed, meaning you can't even look at them.
In this thread we've been talking about who controls the device (or who owns it): as long as Apple is the one with root, and not you, then Apple controls the device.
So I don't know if systemd is "double logging" or if Debian set this up to keep us old farts happy.
Systemd is configurable to do that, and the Debian team likes that style of logging enough to configure it that way (or so I've heard....I haven't verified the Debian setup).
"Do you think that putting suspicious elements under surveillance to combat terrorism is acceptable?"
Asked like that, I'm ok with it.
Suspicious people should be watched. The problem comes when you are watching people for political purposes, or for "love" purposes. There need to be safeguards against abuse (for example, warrants). Because we've already seen abuses like that.
It's insulting to call it "old" or "new" (it's also a mindless stereotype). Plenty of people can see the benefits of systemd, at the same time seeing the drawbacks of systemd.
I suggest reading my reviews, but the end result is this: systemd is a good attempt to solve problems that people have, but it isn't a very good solution.
Yes, I like Apple's walled garden as it keeps others out. For the same reason I insist on a condom.
Then you're also a fool. Apple's walled garden doesn't actually keep people safe, any more than TSA.
So let me make this clear, you were wrong,
You're so very clear.
You failed as malice and hate often do.
Hate and malice, eh?
Other people have pointed out that it is now possible to sideload apps with the latest version of XCode without paying. That's a good step forward, but there are still things Apple prevents you from doing on iOS. The illusion of freedom is still there though, if you never want to do those things (as I pointed out in my previous post, people feel free until they want to do something they can't).
For example, I can't design a new feature without thinking hard about how it's going to affect users whose devices won't get upgraded, and how app developers are going to deal with the fact that some devices have it and others don't. As a member of the security team, all of our work has to focus on layered, defense in depth strategies, because we know that vulnerabilities will be discovered and we will not be able to fix them (rather, we can and will fix them, but the fixes won't get to many devices), but instead need to have other layers we can use to mitigate the damage. This applies even to Nexus devices, because while we must cut off support for older devices at some point in their lifespan because otherwise we'd lose all ability to make forward progress, we know that many of those out-of-support devices will still be in use.
Your perspective sounds like someone who parrots what you've read on the internet rather than someone who actually has experience with this.
If that were the problem, Apple wouldn't have gone out of their way to prevent people from downgrading the OS, just like Google hasn't (although some of the other manufacturers have).
Apple does not restrict what I do to my machine. I do not need to 'root' it. If it does get rooted then I am very happy if Apple fixes it for me.
Slaves are always happy until they want to do something their master doesn't let them.
The Eloi were happy until the Morlocks came out.
You like the iPhone and Apple's garden for now.
That would create security problems, or maintenance problems, take your pick. It would also create fragmentation.
It would also make the phone easier to jailbreak, which is the real reason Apple makes it so hard. The rest of of your post is a lousy apologetic.
And if you ever write a post saying that "Apple's walled garden is better because it keeps people safe," you better change your sig.

MLG hasn't succeeded as well as they'd hoped, and Blizzard really, really wants esports to take off, and are willing to put serious resources into it.

The point is, you can't say, "oh, it's at X latitude, so therefore it's a desert."

You know what else prefers safety over freedom?
iPhone users?

This, combined with the misperception that users would never want to reject a free major OS upgrade
That wouldn't happen if the OS upgrades were clearly better. But they aren't anymore.
Well, I admire you for daring to approach the subject, and then continuing to respond to people, even when their arguments are silly. :)
How long to you think it will be until the first major exploit surfaces?
Looks like it's already happened.
That's basically Object Oriented Programming, the way it is implemented in Java (and in C#).
The problem is the systemd team doesn't understand a good way to write portable software.
The Debian team seems to agree with you, at least, that's why they adopted systemd.
I've written about the things that I like, and that disturb me about systemd.
It's insulting to call it "old" or "new" (it's also a mindless stereotype). Plenty of people can see the benefits of systemd, at the same time seeing the drawbacks of systemd.
For my own part, I've been working on a code review of systemd. I spent a lot of time trying to understand why it was getting adoption. I've delved into the code and looked at the interfaces.
I suggest reading my reviews, but the end result is this: systemd is a good attempt to solve problems that people have, but it isn't a very good solution.

I have never been prevented from doing anything with my phone that I wanted to
That's the key, right? Everyone feels free until the want to do something they can't. This is true even for people in the worst dictatorships.

That's good to know, thanks.
It was worth seeing still, though. At least the first half was. After they announced the death star, that's when it went downhill.
So is Alabama, and that place is wet as the backside of a hog. The "Hourse Latitudes" have poorly defined borders as a biome predictor.

Wow, 3D printers get all the attention, but cheap CNC machines are probably a bigger deal.
