Thank god the West doesn't have any problem with the wealthy and well connected being treated any differently to anyone else. Just think what sort of societal problems would be occurring on a daily basis were that the case.
You're missing the point. From Wikipedia: --- The 1933 census, with design help and tabulation services provided by IBM through its German subsidiary, proved to be pivotal to the Nazis in their efforts to identify, isolate, and ultimately destroy the country's Jewish minority. Machine-tabulated census data greatly expanded the estimated number of Jews in Germany by identifying individuals with only one or a few Jewish ancestors. Previous estimates of 400,000 to 600,000 were abandoned for a new estimate of 2 million Jews in the nation of 65 million.[15] ---
Don't think of Nazi activities as the time of the war (1939-45) only because their evil started long before then, and IBM were there to help.
The perfect answer. And you can see for yourself, by a casual glance at Stack Overflow, that there's no shortage of new programmers without a clue in their head, and who expect people to solve problems that `give me the error` but who don't think it's important to include the actual error (as if there's only one possible error that could be provoked in that situation) or who demonstrate an utter lack of any resourcefulness, inquisitiveness or common sense.
People will either pirate it as-is, or just compress the audio; another case of making it more desirable than the original version (you won't need 48gigs and it'll sound exactly the same)

I've no idea who's running this site, but an alternative Slashdot sounds intriguing and may go some way to addressing the increasing number of problems plaguing this site.
I've seen this stated (sarcastically) before. How could it not be better a second time, when you've used the first one to try stuff out; seen what worked, what didn't. How could it be worse? Is the implication that it would be of exactly the same quality - no better, no worse?
In my experience this is bullshit. Is there any evidence whatsoever that disproves my anecdotal evidence and shows that professional developers don't learn from their mistakes and even make a bigger hash of it the second time around?
Please could you repeat some of the statements a few more times in the writeup. Focus especially on "mitigations" - you can never write that word too many times.
I only discovered it very recently; competition is good, right? Not sure why it started exactly, but it's good to know that there's somewhere similar in case this one continues to get worse.
Also, make the headphone socket durable, and fixable, so I don't have to throw away an unfixable expensive device because a component costing 20p hasn't been attached to the motherboard in a way which will withstand the thousands of connections and disconnections it's going to be subjected to over the number of years I expect a device this expensive to last. (Apple failed at this).
Why? Because it affects 1 user who can work around it trivially; I imagine there are other priorities, given that there are limited resources and work has to be prioritized accordingly.
Delay it a little bit until all the important archaeological items have been safely extracted, surely? They've been there millions of years; another few months/years won't hurt.
No idea, but that's her problem, and without proof it's just "chatting shit", and I didn't think Newsweek was in the business of doing that just because proper journalism times time, effort and integrity. If you just want to type something, get a blog.
How do you propose to detect people sending out proprietary information such as documents obtained via NDAs from other companies, personal information, credit cards etc if you can't monitor outgoing traffic? You're going to trust people, right? If someone is upset that their surfing/facebook etc usage on company time is being monitored so there's less of a chance I'm going to be the victim of fraud, identity theft etc then they need to get another job, or surf on their phone, or something.
India has more than a `homeless` problem; I don't see how you can equate the two, unless you're rather willfully ignoring the massive problems India is turning its back on to fund these `we're in the space-age club too` extravagances.

They've only won because it means they can then do this.

Perhaps it'll free us from the laughable beta, and non-news for nerd clickbait too?

Say, you don't think he read that book first, and then posted?

It's like Chinese Whispers ("Telephone" in the US) where *everybody* deliberately messes up the message on purpose!

Millions of Chinese, Thai, Indian, African people.

I'm running modified Android 4.2.2 - Cyanogenmod - on my phone. So, yes, I'm running and developing Android on it.
