I cleaned all that crap out years and years ago. Why? Because all of them were flaky, slow, and were much improved upon by later technology. Now you have a tech that can store 360TB in a single small package that will never go bad? Just imagine! Get the entire filmography for everything you want to own and never have to buy a replacement because of media deteriorating in 1 form or another, nor your kids, or kids kids, and so on. Hmm, I'll bet the *AAs won't allow any content on those.
It's not the rides, it's the job. If it's the only one available to you as it is for many that do that job, then it is indentured servitude - they can't afford to go elsewhere and basically have to accept whatever their employer dictates.
I routinely ship GBs between machines between multiple geographic locations. All encrypted and relatively sure it is secure. It's an installation package. perhaps I'll start rotating keys too.
...It's not perfect because some closely related species such as horses and donkeys can produce offspring ans sometimes those offspring are also fertile.
And it only takes this happening once where that fertile offspring survives and a whole bunch of others are wiped out that the fertile offspring then generates significantly more DNA into the pool. Note that in this case it is likely male children or the female child(ren) of a homo sapiens female that were fertile and passed on the Neanderthal DNA, due to the current lack of observed Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA. Same for the Denisovans, etc. That interpretation is open to future data proving it wrong as more DNA analysis of the population as a whole proceeds.
But in the US generally you must work. If Uber is the only thing you have going, then guess what? You're essentially an indentured servant. We are close to that level at this point for some people.
I have seen bad GUIs, but something that interrupts a show without my desire for it to... that takes the cake. So you have the Super Bowl on at a party, and hide the remote so no one "accidentally" changes it to Lifetime or something. 2 hours later, popup... and the hunt for the remote begins.
Project Orion is still just theory and due to the current political climate it is unlikely to move forward for many years. Another interesting factor is using Project Orion, you will at most achieve.1c, so it will take approximately 42 years to get there and it is a project that would take many trillions of dollars.
With current fusion propellant, yes. Could we make an anti-matter/matter engine? Maybe. That would definitely take more time but might actually pass a fusion propelled rocket started at the same time. Just don't hit any interstellar objects.
Read the actual order - it's absolute the first statement, and they are not wrong. The order asks for far more than you imply. It asks Apple to
1) disable the auto-erase function
2) allow access via multiple protocols to attempt to break into the phone
3) create a new codebase to allow unlimited cracking attempts on the phone. This last is a "root kit", and it does not exist today.
As for your friend's macbook, anyone can unlock a macbook as long as file vault is not enabled. If it's enabled, not even Apple (AFIAK) can unlock it without resorting to brute force or some other truly black hat worthy exploit.
Check Project Orion We're talking robotic probes here, so a whole bunch of concerns are pretty trivial. It also gives us a nice use for all that nuclear waste we have laying around. Just have to process it into some useful material (triple bonus?) and send it off. I also said to get there, not necessarily stop there, so less than half the propulsion is required. Then it just comes down to sending useful information at near light speed.
If you don't press a key on the remote in about 30 seconds to dismiss the prompt, then the box cuts off and goes into Standby/Sleep.
So no, this is not an unsolved problem.
One of the worst GUI implementations ever. I have yet to find the spare time to find out how to remove that popup, but nothing is really off limits, including cutting the cord. Would have done it years ago, finally the aggravation with providers has reached a point I might be successful, maybe I won't fix this GUI issue, no reason to make it more appealing.
We cannot populate the galaxy...because distance. The nearest star outside of our system is way too far away. We could never reach there.
All of these are pessimistically false statements. Let's start with the last one first - we will send a robotic probe to Alpha Centauri within the next 80 years. We can reach it within the next 10 if we really wanted to. We have the technology, it's just the will to build it that matters. So, a) we can reach it, b) the nearest star is close enough, c) populating the galaxy is possible, just really really slow with today's technology.
You forget ApplePay being linked to TouchID. That very well likely set into motion the Error 53 piece in iOS9. It also seems like the right answer to me. Apple's response will be interesting. If they were repaired by certified shops with Apple parts, Apple should fix/replace the phones. And how many phones were affected? I have or know of at least 20 iphones with TouchID - not a single one has failed. Anecdotal, I know, but 20:0 ratio with more than ten 2+ year old phones seems to indicate that this is not a very common problem.
No, because TouchID is linked to ApplePay there should be no potential backdoors for people to get into the phone. A warning when you turn it on should suffice and may already be there. If not, then that is a valid criticism.
That is a well written response. The real answer is "if you want to use your touch ID and it needs repair, it must be repaired by an Apple approved shop". Otherwise, turn off Touch ID and work without it. The OS gives you no other options.
Considering that Touch ID does more than merely let you in your phone (Apple Pay) this stance seems 100% reasonable. Apple might have a warning on the phone or a prominent agreement that if you enable TouchID/ApplePay, you understand that turning on TouchID can only be done with Apple certified TouchID parts, and no unapproved 3rd party repairs can have been done. (They may already have this, I don't recall reading it personally)
I also took a brief look through the referenced patents. The first 2 were barely ideas, no invention at all. Considering that the "haptic" concept as laid out in these "patents" predates all filing dates with any linear or off-center oscillating mass having a controller attached to it, I'd say these are equivalent to the "x but on the internet" type patents.
You might be able to pick one up for next to nothing now. Unfortunately, I don't know if you can still get the latest copies of IRIX or anything else, since SGI is gone now. They were completely free downloads at one point. My disks are also gone.
They were sweet, for quite a while nothing could touch them in the areas they were good at that I had access to. Heck, until the Octanes came around for a demo. Those things were pretty awesome. I picked up an Indigo back in the early 2000s for $100 just to support some software I had. It was a sad day when it left for the donation pile.
Which gear? There were at least 4 sets there. And considering the ROI, that gear in 1 scenario reduced the workload by a factor of 54. 1 employee in 1 week could do more work that took 54 weeks prior to the purchase of said gear. So, you figure 20 folks did 20 years of work in roughly 6 months. Yeah, there's no ROI there to speak of. The gear I'm speaking of was 2 Indigo workstations with upgraded CPUs and Z-Buffer graphics cards used for R&D. The return was pretty immense on those. The 10 servers were a drop in the bucket of a relatively large project that directly supported 5000 employees. Those are nothing compared to the cluster of Crays by another group. Those guys have all the bragging rights.

I am merely pointing out that heavy bandwidth does not equal pirating or anything else illegal.

I was under the understanding that the FCC just recently classified all cable ISPs under Title II. Or has that not yet taken effect?

The key that needs decrypting can't be copied from the hardware, at least without several (hundred) million in specialized equipment.
Last I checked, the NSA's budget wouldn't even notice that expenditure.
Apple states this is a backdoor...
Apple is in the wrong on this.

True. But Error 53 tells the user something untoward has happened. Should it be a user configurable option? I could argue that it should.

The skill that smells failure early is the same one that smells a distant success.
Hate to break it to you, but the ability to smell shit no way relates to being able to smell roses. Some people just can't smell the roses.

The funny thing is that 1970-1-1 is not an epoch for iOS.

You have a bank account, that automatically puts you in the top 10% at least.
