    Yeah, only reason I pressed the comment section was to say "Yeah, because it can't have been because it was free and available?"

    Btw, Apple did add other features, the most major one is a wifi iTunes store.

    Your logic fails.

    Just because it's no illegal to unlock the phone doesn't make preventing it illegal.

    You are still within your rights to unlock it again, if you can, it's not like he manufacturers need to supply you the information and tools needed to unlock it is it? Because then what is the use for the lockin from the begining. Just don't buy such products if you don't want them, how hard can it be.

    Apple needs to be able to update their phones, they inform you that if you have modified it the update can break it. If you then install the update anyway that's your problem.

    Yeah, there are multiple software apps which does it and there was multiple hardware hacks to I belive.

    Facts:
    1) More or less all telephones in USA where locked, wasn't they? If that are true Apple doesn't do anything different to everyone else so what is the big deal.
    2) If you don't like it don't buy it.

    But the ones I'm actually here to write about is:
    3) No, most of the phones doesn't get bricked, they just doesn't stay unlocked, which to me seems like Apple are just updating the software on them to a newer version and then the software parts of the hacks doesn't exist longer so they doesn't work. Not a big deal.
    4) Apple even informs of this in a dialog when you update thru iTunes telling the user that it may ruin your phone if you have modified it, so how is it Apples fault it some moron then runs it instead? Apple told them it could happen.
    5) You have modified the device and complains that your modifications doesn't work in a newer release? Did Apple told you that your hack would always work? The more knowledge people sure as hell did know that Apple even would try to NOT make it work. I can understand a couple of idiots which sees a phone as a device and not some hardware with software running in it doesn't understand that it's not "the same" all the time.

    Well, I don't know if you can force our laws on a project where someone from another country have taken photos here and publish it on the web and host them on foreign servers. I guess not, but then what is stoping ME from doing it and spreading photos of everyone on foreign servers?

    In case it's not legal I guess they need to find a way to solve it, or just not publish any photos from such countries.

    Also I where thinking like seconds appart (thought that will not remove cars which stand still), not hours.

  9. Re:Wow! on Google May Blur Canadian Faces and License Plates · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You aren't allowed to publish photos of people who can be identified on the web without their permission in Sweden either. Why don't they just take 3 or more photos at the same place with some time inbetween and remove the parts "which has changed" between the shoots?

  10. Re:Good on First New Nuclear Plant in US in 30 years · · Score: 1

    It where two different things.

    Sure Chernobyl wasn't the end of the world, but very many people risked (and gave) their lifes over there, not just during the first day or two, but to solve the whole situation. It sucks when people sort of forget it and claim/belive that the troubles were much smaller than they really were. People was on the roof shovling stuff from the core dressed in simple lead aprons damnit. And dug a tunnel under it all by hand. Would we even find people willing to do such things in a more "free" country? Who?

    And it's my understanding that mined uranium ore when you throw it back leak various radioactive components, which we would probably be better of having stuck within the mountains..

    Thought, "but look at what he did" or "this is much worse!" arguments doesn't work. Sure someone or something might be worse, but shouldn't you compare to better alternatives instead?

  14. Re:Good on First New Nuclear Plant in US in 30 years · · Score: 1

    Anyone who thinks nuclear power is a good idea should go back watch their chernobyl movies again and read up on how the uranium is mined and processed.

    There ARE alternatives, even if they where 50%, 2 times, 50 times or whatever more expensive they are still alternatives, and some of them are pretty safe aswell. I would assume that solar panels are our safest bet atm.

    And if the core of chernobyl had reached the water underneath that accident would have become much bigger aswell.

    A more environmental friendly way to store it is as trees I guess (feel free to chop them down and let them rotten on the ground.)

    Are you saying that incidents don't happen? They even happen here in Sweden and I would assume our plants are among the better ones (or atleast not some of the worst ones ..), also how many incidents reach the public at all?

    Well, to be honest Chernobyl accident couldn't have happened either could it? ;D

    Anyway things can happen I guess, but I doubt "they can deal with that now."
    It's not so easy to deal with nuclear waste, and all the ore you have mined probably leak quite a lot of radioactivity aswell.
    Also nucular power aren't a renewable energy source, of course ..

    Solar power may be expensive but atleast it's harm are very small, it will last as long as we can live here and more and there are a hell of a lot of it. Also I guess it would improve faster and more the more people buy and use it.
