On what? iPhone/Pad developments so easy 8-9 year olds are doing it. Oh you mean easier for people who dont want to spend money on the platform to use the tools. Well then thats not easier thats CHEAPER.
Big difference.
Well you are up shits creek with that idea. Sure you could get away with that with general computing, but books and study guides are created around standard packages, not open source products. And it is hard enough to get teachers to use a platform or product they are not familiar with in the first place and you want to throw a open source product that likely has little in the way of documentation beyond how it was created?
This is Texas after all. She should have been gassed and had her body displayed for all to see what this horrible criminal offender had done.
God I wish Mexico would invade JUST so they could get rid of those armpits that are Texas and Arizona....
I myself have had this issue with Linux and OS X clients in dealing with ISA. At first look its simply OS X screwing up, but when you take the time to go looking through it you realize that OSX is passing credentials perfectly fine to ISA and it is just how Microsoft designed the program that causes the issues.
not at all sad.
Japanese phones have been above this level for years, but are AWFUL to use. The UI like it or not is what has made the iPhone superior to the rest of the phones on the market. Sure marketing has some to do with it, the iPhone is hip the Droids and the like are not, but it does what it says it does and does it WELL.
And that is why it sells.
"Right. That's why all those games built with engines and level editors and scripting tools always suck. C'mon apple. You have to allow unity. You can't want games but require everyone to make them from scratch."
Actually, unless the engine is redesigned for the platform, often they DO suck. Think about the hundreds of games that were great on PC but absolutely dogshit on a more powerful gaming system, or going from PC to Mac.
um welcome to the 21st century. Companies haven't used their patents defensively since the 70's, possibly even earlier. Likewise in this situation Apple WAS using it defencively, they were saying "Dont do that we have the patent on that." Which Sun responded with "We will do that because we have a patnetn on this and you are using it."
You completely have no clue whatsoever about big business if you honestly think patents are meant to be certificates on a wall and nothing more.
except you know, they dont charge any more than anyone else. There IS NO APPLE TAX anymore. Stop comparing POS computers to a standard Apple configuration and actually you know configure a Dell to match a Apple. You WILL be surprised.
funny, but ThinkSecret actually released information on projects that we know later were canceled directly BECAUSE of the leak such as the Garageband interface.
thing is they haven't in the past. Strong words yes, but they never actually go after them to find out who leaked it. But in the case of Think Secret they ACTIVELY in court pursued the leak, meaning it wasnt authorized.
But that goes to my other point. It was obvious Think Secret from the getgo was getting TRUE insider information, and not controlled leaks, as they leaked products that NEVER made it to market sometimes and it did cause Apple a lot of trouble.
Thats how they all do it. Hell its even how the government does it. This isnt news, its well known common practice. Thats why its always fun when Apple goes after someone about a leak. Because in those situations, you KNOW Apple didnt authorize the leak and it makes you snicker.
Its not a question of how many, but whats best. IF you have systems designed right, you could get away with a fraction of what many places have if the sites are localized enough.
In education IT, our district has 7 techs (this is including the network manager) for roughly 1800 machines and 6000 users and realistically we could use twice the number of techs unless we got enough of a influx of money to completely redesign our districts IT structure to work better (its education so there is fat chance of that happening). The district next to ours has 2 for a little over 900. Then you can have 3-4 for 500 which i see often in small business.
The title says Apple wont sell it (which is wrong they most certainly will) the ARTICLE has the real culprit, AT&T, which is really who wont sell it. My coworker couldnt get a iPhone for her girlfriend at all from AT&T in the NYC area, but had no problems with Apple selling it to her.
"good luck documenting that from a holding cell." He wasnt put into jail till weeks after he was asked then ORDERED to hand over the passwords. IF he was doing his job right his systems would have been documented, and all he would have then needed was the emails showing he no longer was in control of those accounts or servers.
"Also please not that he'd been the sole holder of various passwords for over a year with managements knowledge and apparent approval before this." And he knew for a fact he wouldnt drop dead tomorrow? OR he even had a job tomorrow which in this case he did not which was WHY they wanted the passwords, because they FIRED him
Hell, I still want to know how they justify holding him for 2 years on $5M bail without resorting to wounded pride.
I do too, but dont you DARE change the fucking subject, my comment had nothing to do with the stupidity of the city or prosecutors but everything to do with Childs stupidity in thinking he actually mattered in the grand scheme of things when he really didnt have a leg to stand on holding onto those passwords. The fact is he SHOULDNT be in jail and I hope the judge leaves the city with a huge amount of egg on their face and a massive settlement for Childs. But that doesnt negate the fact that truth be told Childs was a moron to get himself into this mess in the first place when all he had to do was document what he needed and HAND THE PASSWORDS OVER.
nope being an ass. Nothing in his contract stated he was the sole holder of the networks passwords. I dont know ANY IT contract that would state such a action.
I have to document EVERYTHING in case I was hurt or killed or fired so that my fellow coworkers knew how to get into and work on my servers and clients. I am dead sure his did to.
I have gotten into this argument with our network manager and in the end its easily solved, hand them over, document to who and why you handed them over. Show everything YOU did to follow the commands issued for you, and wait.
If something is fucked up afterward and you get blamed all you have to do is print out the emails, present your documentation and say HERE IT IS, BLACK AND WHITE, I WAS NO LONGER SOLELY IN CHARGE AND I NEVER MADE THOSE CHANGES.
Then watch as upper management squirm when you have documented evidence of their stupidity. IT works, I have done it dozens of times, and its enjoyable EVERY FUCKING TIME to watch their stupid grins turn into "oh fuck" faces!:-)
Well the issue here is Micrsoft is a SOFTWARE company, not HARDWARE. Apple on the otherhand is the later. Microsoft would have a hard time proving in court that it was seriously effecting their bottom line unless only THEY made those Intel machines. Apple on the otherhand could easily show that it was since only THEY make machines that run OS X.
The simple fact is this guy IS guilty of one major (though not legal) flaw. He didnt THINK about the situation, and instead of handing the passwords over, BUT documenting EVERYTHING, he decided to be an ass about it. He had a very valid reason to be an ass, but he should have washed his hands of it.
Well its not really functionality. Apple makes NOTHING that use that processor. It was perhaps the intent to eventually release it, but they decided to change tactics especially after they BOUGHT a chip manufacturer. Apple makes hardware, not software. They have a few programs that are cross-platform but most of the stuff they make are made for THEIR hardware. Its that simple.
and regardless if we are playing with the student pricing, you could get a Mac Mini for that much money and know that you will at least get 4-5 years out of it with using the latest OS. (case in point I am running snow leopard on a nearly 4 year old Macbook and see absolutely no reason to get a new machine any time in the next 2-3 years)

nope there is no performance hit with a Mac running windows. For a while Macbook Pros where the fastest Windows laptop you could buy.

not all women get off from JUST clitoral stimulation. many like penetration too, hence why internal vibrators and dildos are so popular.

Still considered mainland America though since its a barrier island, unlike say Hawaii.

We have non-certified help desk technicians making twice that. My god have things gotten that bad?
because you know Beck doesnt personally attack ANYONE with a liberal thought in him... Oh wait, he does.
