Exactly. Better yet, Palm got their start developing software for Newton. While we're at it, wasn't Office first developed on the Mac because Windows was crap or non-existent at the time?
Screw it, can't we just get along and enjoy all this great technology rather than have a pissing contest about who-did-what-first?
Facist terrorist murders a peaceful protestor and President spinelessly says, "well, gee, there are two sides to every story".
Yeah, that's something to get upset about.
I read that as stating that QC4 is a proper superset of USB-PD, and the chargers and devices would work w/ normal USB-PD chargers and devices, while adding some other silly features on when a QC4 charger and device are used together. But you're right that the wording is vague. If I'm mistaken then I take back my kudos.
I came hear to bash Qualcomm too, but amazingly enough they seem to have done something right for once according to TFA:
USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (USB PD) compliant. By incorporating these technologies, Qualcomm Technologies standardizes the capabilities of Quick Charge 4 adapters, to help ensure that a single accessory supports multiple charging implementations and mobile devices, and that there is consistent performance when faced with the myriad of available charging solutions.
Came here to say what the parent said better than I could.
Forcing manufacturers to sell replacement parts is a great idea, but don't let this idealistic crusade take down features of the product as collateral damage. Biometrics are for from perfect and if they are an unacceptable risk in your threat model then by all means don't use them, but shitting on the whole idea isn't constructive. I'm glad that using TouchID makes it practical for me to use much longer and more secure passwords and still have a useable phone.
No, the first number is the rating for solid intrusion and the second is for liquid intrusion. Notably, the two numbers are on totally different scales with 6 being the max for the first number but not the second. Both IP67 and IP68 are equally "dust proof", but the IP67 is a relatively poor water resistance rating.

No, if it pleases the Crown, I'd like to make my own decisions.
Sounds like asking permission to me. How is that making your own decisions? Does prostrating yourself to a monarch really bother you less that considering the possibility that tax and transfer payment structures may need to change to meet the evolving needs of society?
As I deal with the constant issues with Android (late/missing OS updates, poor software availability, inconsistent mess of an interface) I keep trying to remember why I ever dumped iOS. Then Apple pulls shit like refusing to ship a codec that every other browser supports. I don't care at all about 4K, but it's nice to be able to view WebM videos embedded in Wikpedia pages.
Come on, I didn't say I'd pay for this service everyday; more like the roughly annually I already waste money on going to the movies.
As for Florida, that's going a little far. I'd much rather deal with the crowds and sticky floors of my local cinema that ever visit that shithole again.
I go to the move theater maybe once per year. For what it costs once I buy two tickets and some concessions, not to mention the time wasted getting there, I wouldn't mind paying the price of 2-3 tickets to stay at home and watch.
They should not get to say "you can't have health care bacause you are a woman", "you can't have cake because you are gay", or "you can't use twitter bacause you are a biggot", but the cake shop, Hobby Lobby, and Twitter have every right to kick you out for harassing other customers.
I stumbled on my original first gen iPhone last week. It's so nice and small. Fits in my hand great. Disappears in my pocket. Almost makes me wish I could get a flagship smartphone with a screen that small (surely I would feel differently if I actually powered it on). Sadly I couldn't find an old 30 pin cable to power it up and see if it still works.
Okay, 5W@500mA is horrible, and we needed proprietary solutions to get around this on USB 2.0, but now that there is actually a standard (USB-C Power Delivery) why are they still messing around with this silliness?
I can't imagine they have hundreds of PS3s sitting in a datacenter to run this service. If this is running on an emulator on Xeons on in a datacenter, why don't they just sell emulated PS3 games to run directly on Windows and/or the PS4? I suppose they could have a datacenter full of rackmount Cell boxes which would be a little more interesting.
You mean shit like shutting down the government repeatedly to attempt to defund Obamacare? Shit like corporations are people and money is speech? Fuck you.
I'm torn on this. I agree that the bill is a flagrant violation of due process, but I also think that the Heller decision is insane. So unconstitutionally revoking court invented "rights" to have weapons of war? I have a hard time having a problem with this.
iTunes and later the Amazon MP3 store made DRM free audio a standard for audio you buy. This cat isn't going back in the bag. If you are whining that it's gettting harder to rip DRM from Spotify, etc. (music that you rent) then screw off, you're stealing and it's nobody's problem but your own.
2. Wireless headphones and speakers are fine, not great.
Wires are fine, not great. Shitty amps in phones are fine, not great. Bluetooth is great, your shitty $12 rig notwithstanding.
3. Dongles are stupid, especially when they require other dongles.
See 3, and use bluetooth.
4. Ditching a deeply established standard will disproportionately impact accessibility.
So will ditching DB-9 and floppy disks. Boo-hoo.
5. Making Android and iPhone headphones incompatible is incredibly arrogant and stupid.
You actually have a point here. MicroUSB and Lightning should be ditched in favor of USB-C. Yesterday.
6. No one is asking for this.

USB-PD compatability? Nope? Nevermind, then.

I can use dongles for serial on my phone now. Removing DB9 from phones is a limiting move that really only has negatives.

He was on Face the Nation YESTERDAY talking up racial profiling.
OTOH Trump doesn't hide that he's a flagrant racist and that's totally cool.
Have any Slashdotters had any experience with BleachBit? Specifically, have you used it for erasing "yoga emails" or "bridesmaids emails?"
No, srm works fine for deleting things locally. As for email, secure erasure wouldn't help much; it's stored by Google so the NSA already has it.

Good, go form a militia and you can have guns for it.
They have won the people over, but the GOP doesn't answer to anybody other that the NRA on this issue, which hardly represents the "people"
