I wonder, do the engineers and techs working at Apple feel ashamed all this trolling?
I know it's management and legal who make the decisions, but still...
<snark> Hey now... Slide to unlock has saved me so much time in my day that the device has paid for itself in less than a week. Patents are key to American health. What were we talking about? </snark>
Maybe if we didn't behave like children, the legal system would not treat us as such.
Interesting comment. I didn't think about it until now, but I believe it was kindergarten where I was taught not to push and shove, shouting "I was there first!"
"...but it also points to a political lack of valuing science in America."
Whatever. What the fuck ever. It means we value survival, health, and stable living on the planet Earth more than the exploration of another planet, both which cost a lot of money.
Speaking of stereotypes, I know what you need - you need me to feed you Ben and Jerry's Ice cream while massaging your callused feet, building up the foreplay while we watch Law and Order and discus what pigs men are. You want to cuff me to the bed and slap me around for being the naughty boy that I am. Oh Yeah, give it to me, baby!
While I know a couple of women who roll that way, they would probably charge you extra for that kind of fantasy play.
What's the charge nowadays for a woman who cares about the feelings of a man and enjoys spending quality talk and activity time with them?

Apparently, someone did not learn the difference between "want" and "need".
Stereotypically speaking, someone can also easily be seen as having a father that was a control freak and a mother who took it "like she had to."
The GEMA concept is bullshit, based on the outdated and notion that only a handful of musicians exist and make money from their work. It's completely unworkable in today's society.
Which is exactly why they'll try to make it work. You know what they say about history....
That's a good idea except for the fact that the execution of the will takes more than a few minutes to execute. Sometimes days, sometimes weeks. The post office and/or banks don't hand over the key fast and easy.
Best option is to have it held by a law office as a durable power of attorney. You get death certificate, law office hands you the holdings granted to you in the will.
Of course I don't understand the context of the poster's question; ending/paying auctions and satisfying debt isn't something that's gonna be easier with saved passwords. *shrug*/sidenote
How about having a law office write up your living; part of what the law office does with your living will is hold onto it (obviously). When you pass, part of the living will is that the information they have will be passed on to the children.
The problem with legislation is that, even if you defeat one, it can simply be reintroduced again and again until it is passed...
You're absolutely right.
This time it's "from a hidden source and quietly promoted where it may be passed behing a lot of peoples' backs", next time it will be "for the kids", time after that will be "for the safety of your land". History repeats itself. History repeats itself. History repeats itself. History repeats itself........
i go once a year and it's always full. people too cheap to pay for internet and asian kids
in this day when internet is $10 a month i can't understand how anyone would want to use it at the library
Because people can't fucking adapt.
I'll keep my 'net. When it goes away or becomes unusable, I'll head right back to the library. Adaptation: not that difficult. Unless you're too tied to social rules and games in life to focus on anything else but looks and "coolness". I digress.
That's like saying "Go to harleymotodata.org" and then proclaiming you found hard proof that Harleys are the best.
We can't do that! Everyone keeps doing it, however!
If there's going to be a set of data that is reliable and provides useful, measurable results, we need to quit bickering and come up with a standard. Centralized data set that nothing enters into without being reviewed and reverse-logic checked more than once.
I applaud this move by Apple. I'm a big proponet of solar power. The more companies that integrate solar into their energy needs, the less expensive the technology becomes. It's finally getting to the point where an average homeowner can break even on an investment in solar.
If you made the price one that equaled or exceeded the current monthly/yearly expenditure on electric bills -AND- made the equipment affordable up-front, it would be a win-win.
People are short-sighted these days with the economy being the way it is. They want to save money NOW, as well as save money long-term. Make it happen, that's your challenge.
Solar must be viable because if it wasn't profitable, they wouldn't do it, right? Corporations always do what's in their best interest.
Close enough.:)
Construction and implementation+maintenance = loss. Making green-friendly people happy = increase in sales = profit increase.
Mesh the two together, and there's a greater profit.
They're doing the right thing. Making people happy, increasing profit, and utilizing less fossil fuel product. Well, as long as they don't reduce cost of labor through some inhumane treatment on top of this move, it's beneficial:)
Slashdot Mirror
Another lame attempt at monetization, or will Facebook users actually pony up?
A lot of column A, and a lot of column B.
Slide to unlock? Unified search bar?

Ah, what's the use?
Yep. A logical statement is pure trollin' all right. Nice moderating.
Hey, give me $12,000,000 in funding and I'll have an answer for you in 10 years: Which was first, life or land? :>
Who didn't see that coming?
/snark

Not pointing fingers or anything.
You actually asume there's any connection between politicians and common sense?
I was told it was money. Looks like I was taught wrong again. /snark

"The Final Countdown" just popped into my head. Thanks. :)
I lost my beverage through my nostrils while laughing.
What solutions does Clippy have for that?

Have a look at this summary of their activity and tell me their position is anything but skeptical.

That's alright. I got modded down so I paid for it lol
Do you know what an emoticon of a smile could indicate?

moreover they will later claim that any company who offers solar electricity to charge mobile devices violates apples patents.
Oh, now come on. Why would they ever do that? :)
Now they are going to claim they invented the sun, and the stupid fucking patent office will grant it to them.
Now, why on Earth would you say something like that? That's just..... insane. :)
