Hm yeah. As long as it isn't the bosses computer they do it. I see this happening all the time in corporations. For whatever reason the drones can't be trusted but they can. I am a software developer so this has hampered my productivity more than anything else. I had issues connecting to source code repositories on-site. Ticketing systems. Getting Eclipse plugins to download like someone else said. Doing meetings with developers offsite over Skype. etc. Guess what. Even with all that filtering I saw a lot of people on other teams at the client spending most of their time reading the daily news. What is the damned filter useful for anyway?
'well established'. Hah. It was irrelevant in market terms. Sure it was available. Then again the Apple Newton was also available. That doesn't mean it was successful.
All I heard from people doing applications for Windows Mobile was how nasty it was to program for. When the competition was still Symbian this was ok. It was the best mobile operating system for a time but it was utterly outclassed by iOS and Android. Windows CE was not Windows NT kernel based. It was a completely different beast altogether.
He got a broken cert because he used his own computer. If you used a computer of that corporation it would have the cert bundled and you would never know that your SSL connection was being snooped.
In the limit they could even intercept when you are downloading a browser and inject their own malware version of it. Although this seems like too much trouble.
It was a civil war. There were atrocities on both sides. What happened with the independence of Kosovo was the Serbs were kicked out of their homes. Are you purposely forgetting that Albania at one point wanted to merge with Kosovo?
No. There were e.g. Sony Ericsson Walkman phones before the iPhone was available. The iPhone brought nothing new to that part of the market. I had an MP3 playing cellphone and I still bought a dedicated MP3 player. Why? More battery life was one of the reasons. MP3 players still get sold as dedicated devices. Apple just does not sell theirs because they priced themselves out of the market. The application specific music playing devices are still sold today.
Apple's 'innovation' with the iPod was the iTunes store. The 'innovation' was because they managed to get the labels to sell them music where other people failed because they didn't have enough clout or just couldn't be assed to make a decent product. Their 'innovation' was cronyism.
Dear Slashdot moderators. Some of us get a +1 Karma bonus because we have a decent posting history. If you keep downmodding posts as overrated just because of this you need to get a life. Learn to mod posts up rather than down.
Yes this is the usual way of doing it. I usually see people using goto clauses when they have to cleanup some resource on the error handling part of the code. e.g. deallocating memory or closing up files. I prefer to use a helper function for that and replicating the cleanup function call each time. Some times the cleanup code isn't the same. Using goto labels isn't any better than calling a function in terms of programming complexity.
There is more than one kind of meat. The fat content varies according to the cut. Also digestion of a meal of mixed carbohydrates and beef is usually a lot friggin slower than just eating either of those alone. In my experience the digestive system is just not well optimized for mixing everything up in the same meal.
If they actually got sued I expect them either to lose or to be forced to license the patents for cheap. Those are patents on interfaces for crying out loud.
Nespresso is probably the biggest in the EU yeah. You know how Nestle is.
I remember the printer cartridge case. The judge's argument was that the 'DRM' used in the print cartridges was not used to protect a creative work so the DMCA, or whatever is the EU equivalent, did not apply. So making clones of the cartridges or offering refills is perfectly legal.
for (int i=0; i<2; i++)
if (!input[i]) return {snprintf(buf,sizeof(buf),"input%d was NULL", i+1); ERROR(buf);}
There fixed that you.
I actually looked at the snippet of the Apple TLS code once in an article. It could just as easily not used goto at all and it would have looked just as clean.
Regarding GoG a lot of the games they sell are DOS games which run on DOSBox or ScummVM. You can just extract the files and run those under Linux DOSBox or ScummVM just as well.
No. The iPod was meant to be a application specific device to play music. The smartphone is a general purpose computing platform. It is not the same thing. The iPod touch uses the same hardware and software platform but most iPod devices sold were not of that model and use a different platform. It just uses too much power for a dedicated music playing device. That dedicated music player market still exists. It is full of cheap Chinese devices. That is why Apple no longer has any profit.
I had a cellphone, we didn't call them smartphones back then, that played MP3s just fine. Years before the iPhone was launched. You could argue that the iPhone replaced the iPod in that usage scenario, just like general purposes computers replaced a lot of things from typewriters, to calculators, and things like that. Sure. However the music player market still exists just like TVs did not vanish when we went to bigger computer screens. Apple dropped out of that market because they priced themselves out of it. As is happening in the smartphone market and will happen to the tablet market.
I don't get why people are so defensive about Apple. As a consumer I could care less. I just want whatever fits my purposes at the lowest price. Then again I don't own stock either.
I have an iPhone 3GS and a Samsung tablet. I don't use it that much. Neither do most of the people I know who have tablets. I mostly used it to play games and things like that. You can watch a video in it but the screen is smaller than a computer desktop monitor let alone a TV. There is a reason people plonk down money to go to the cinema to watch a movie. I know Apple tablet users and they mostly use it to read email and play games. You can read email on a smartphone if you are in a hurry. If you are not in a hurry you can use a laptop or desktop. With a real keyboard. I have tried reading books in it but LCDs just aren't up to snuff in that regard. I have tried the iPad too same deal.
The only applications seems to be games. For that the smartphone is a better more mobile platform.

As for Microsofts disasters trying to do hardware to compete with Apple it all started a long time before Surface. Remember Zune?
Windows Mobile was obsolete. Their successor platform was also completely incompatible with it. That was the problem.
Let me guess. Your corporation has an 'exception' to the professional conduct guidelines when management computers are involved.
He got a broken cert because he used his own computer. If you used a computer of that corporation it would have the cert bundled and you would never know that your SSL connection was being snooped.

Too many websites use SSL all the time now. It makes caching and web filtering nearly impossible.
Cities can be nasty enough by themselves.
It was a civil war. There were atrocities on both sides. What happened with the independence of Kosovo was the Serbs were kicked out of their homes. Are you purposely forgetting that Albania at one point wanted to merge with Kosovo?
So if a 'coalition of the willing' composed of Belarus and North Korea helped would you support this invasion?
It doesn't make it right either way dude.

Can still work perfectly fine in C++ code if the types are subclasses.

Yeah. You know that adage? You can fool some people every time, or all people some time, but not everyone all the time?
People may do dumb things. But they learn. Most of them at least.
This could be happening yes. But governmental agencies try to debase real world currencies all the time too. It just comes with the territory.

Or Blackberry. No wait.
