Apple is in the right and Google and Microsoft should be backing Apple on this one.
And I say this as a long time hater of all things Apple. I own nothing from Apple. Never have. I fucking detest Apple. Look at any post of mine here on/. for almost 20 years and you will see that this is the very first post I have ever made here saying ANYTHING positive about Apple.
But they are so in the right on this one. Our devices are our own personal data archives on a level way beyond our houses or safes. It is an extension of our brains. While we may not have the technology just yet, imagine if a court ordered you to have your personal memories residing in your physical brain extracted. This is the same thing. People put info on their phones with a full expectation of privacy, regardless of if that expectation is realistic. If you think it's acceptable for the government to demand access to your most personal inner sanctum of being (your brain), then a brain extension like a personal phone or computer should also be inviolate.
This is so completely disgustingly wrong of anyone in government to expect such a thing, for any reason. Even for this reason. Extra ludicrosity because this is an after-the-fact demand, no matter what happens this will not bring one person back from the dead.
If you are about freedom in any way, then you should be completely against this horrid precedent ever being set. Your thoughts are your own, always.
Which is why I almost always buy AMD - Even if current Intel technology can beat it, I see it as an investment in the future. Keeps Intel on their toes having competition. If AMD dies, then Intel innovation slows WAY down.
That would be awesome if Intel comes out with a 64 core chip just before AMD releases Zen, competition in action. If I truly needed 64 cores, then I would buy Intel, if not, then I will buy a cheaper 32 core AMD. Works perfectly for me.
You've always got to think long term, life as it is now is guaranteed to change - do what you can to make sure it changes for the better.

Good expansion on my point! :)
That's some double-speak right there. Not like people had to put down money for it.
This is more like waking up in the morning to find an abandoned baby on your front porch. Wouldn't call that adoption.
Joe Joe made it go
Bart Bart cut a fart
And blew the damn thing all apart
There's a solution to that - log in already...
No doubt, what's the deal with the killing of the 1920x1200 displays? They were pretty much perfect.
>The precedent that would set would cause a fallout beyond belief in the manufacturing sector.
Dafuq are you on? That doesn't make any sense.
It's archaic American slang for slut.
If you have issues reading/comprehending the shorter code then you should probably find a different line of work. Seriously.
Good to know, I got hit by that yesterday from work and thought our over-zealous security guy was at it again.
I never knew that. I've been eligible for "disable ads" for years, but thought it to be unfair to disable them. So never knew it didn't work. :)
Great job on all the improvements new guys!!
I need TPP
for my bunghole
I can't stop listening to Kanye!
Because I never started listening in the first place.
That guy sucks.
Interesting transcription, thanks!
Lawful Evil much?

Oh right, you must think it should have said "...drawing by measuring and modeling Lego's", right?
...for side building (SNOT) has greatly added...
SNOT? What, why?
Notepad++
Yah, it sucks. I'm already realizing that. Seems suddenly I got old, grey hair and grandkids already... Too crazy.
The only good part is that he had recently completed Phantasm 5!! So we get to see him one last time.
