So I'm judging by your post you've never even looked at Free/Net/OpenBSDs web pages long enough to know the how retarded your 'modern features' comment was.
Apple has seen to it that FreeBSD is pretty much modern.
If you think its not, I point to ZFS and ask what you're response to it is? And no, whatever Linux file system you're about to throw out there doesn't even come close, again showing how little clue you actually have.
And that matters how, exactly? Much like UTF8, UCS-2 is just an encoded version of UCS-4 so it really doesn't make any difference other than memory usage.
Our licensing model will be the same as the Font Awesome project which is a combination of the SIL Open Font License, MIT License and the CC 3.0 License.
Seriously? You can't pick one simple license, its got to be 3?
You guys and you're "freedom". It does not mean what you think it does. More freedom pretty much explicitly requires LESS license, not more.
Software licenses are the opposite of freedom. They define a list of restrictions.
If you want it to be 'free', then just BSD license it (MIT is fine since its in your list) and fucking stop.
Multi-license crap is only for when you're trying to deal with some retarded license like GPL and its purpose built anti-compatibility/virus license being included in your project.
If you think you need three license options to define freedom you do not in any way understand the meaning of freedom and you're just warping it around to mean restrictions.
Everything that applies to certs applies to PGP and vice versus. They are essentially the exact same thing, only very minimally different implementations.
You're acting like its an SSL issue that MS decided to consider expired certs invalid in their systems rather than accepting them.
If it was PGP, the same thing would have happened because they wouldn't trust expired PGP certs either.
A policy on how to behave in a situation isn't effected just because you change the name of the software implementation and a couple of low level algorithms that have no effect at a high level.
SSL can also be done in a 'web of trust' kind of shitty way, its an active choice not to. If you knew anything about implementing things in the real world you'd understand why PGP is a relatively rarely used system of encryption compared to other systems like it. Nothing prevents you from adding your own signature to an SSL certificate.
You have absolutely no idea how either PGP or SSL work.
You fail to understand that the reason people use SSL over PGP is because PGP DIDN'T SOLVE SEVERAL MAJOR PROBLEMS. You some how interpret the rarity of PGP use with it being superior. It isn't. The only people who think PGP is great are freetards who think paying for a verification service is unacceptable and everything should be free.
Rather than giving you a single trust source like SSL (which you imply, but is entirely not the case by design), PGP gives you a certificate with no way to verify it with a known source. Everyone picks their own source of verification! Awesome idea!
You're probably one of those morons who think self-signed certs shouldn't trigger warnings too aren't you?
If your website is that important you should have it all in the hands of one UNREGULATED company.
Its acceptable to trust one telephone company or one power company as these are WELL regulated industries that the government requires them to provide certain TESTED redundancies.
Depending on a single (anything in the tech industry) is... well to put it bluntly, is stupid.
At $5 million a year, you have approximately 4,980,000 more you NEED to survive well in the US. Survive. You can actually do it on far less if you have to, but we'll say a nice high 20k to make it easy on you (plenty of people, myself included, have done it on less than half that.
I can not say this with any more sincerity.
If you think there's something wrong with taxing people who make 5 million a year at 75% then I hope you die in the most horrible and agonizing way. You don't deserve to live you selfish fuck. Better still would be to stick you in an environment where you can't spend more than say $8,000/year and let you learn just how fucking ridiculous your greedy selfish statements are.
Your supposition is flawed. It relies on the idea that government would actually have the ability to save money not needed to cover expenses. It does not except at certain state and local levels if those areas are specifically set up to do so. By law, congress has to spend every last dollar taken in. Now this spending can be on some new program, increases to existing programs, or servicing the debt but it completely lacks the ability to create a rainy day fund or anything of the sort which would have decreased any of the discussions we are having today.
You do realize that the only group of people on the planet that is legally allowed to make that change is in fact the very people you are refering to.
If they actually wanted to have a rainy day fund... they could enact a new program for that purpose.
Don't even begin to pretend that they 'cant' do something. There is no group of people in America that is more capable of legally changing the system. They ARE the system.
Sony didn't take away anything. You swapped the old firmware with a feature you wanted for new firmware... without a feature you wanted.
You could have simply not upgraded the firmware and had no problem.
Would you buy a care from someone, then have them change out the radio for one with new features... and then act like they stole something from you after you learned the new radio didn't have one of the old features?
They took no action. They gave you an option. You took the option. You made the choice that directly caused the removal of other OS.
They didn't 'take away' anything. The person who applied the firmware update did. They opted for a feature change. Sony didn't force it on them. You could still put all your old games in and play them if you didn't use the upgrade. Nothing was lost that you bought that wasn't done because of direct owner approval.
My PS3 still has the OtherOS option... well I assume it does, its been sitting in a box for a couple years now... so how is it they took something from your PS3 but not from my PS3?
They upgraded their firmware. They changed their device after it was sold. Who's fault is it?
Shouldn't have upgraded if you cared about 'Other OS', simple as that.
Once you upgrade you're no longer using what you originally bought and paid for. You're using what you paid for and changes from the company that came after the purchase. If you do not install those changes your hardware does not change. Sure, it may cut you out eventually from online services, but again, thats not what you bought, you bought hardware.
What you want is the best of both worlds. You want upgrades at no cost, supporting every feature you want it to support, regardless of how trivial a feature it is, and you want to claim you own the console outright.
Doesn't work that way. If you wanted to keep your other OS, you shouldn't have upgraded the firmware. You should have kept what you bought and paid for, instead you got greedy and wanted more and you get all bitchy when you don't like the terms of that exchange.
Yes, because petty thieves really do go after the data to sell to identity thieves! You've been reading too many internet infosec articles.
Its far easier to just exploit him than physically steal his data. Whats worse is that since he says 'no windows', meaning probably mac or linux (could be something else but unlikely) which means they probably arent' even going to bother targeting him with malware to exploit his machine.
My point is simply that encrypting for your own personal stuff is just paranoid silly. Its FAR FAR too much risk/effort to physically steal your identity when they can get countless numbers of them for free, remotely, safely anonymous.
You guys act like you know how to secure your selves then show you have no clue by utterly failing to demonstrate any concept of how the real world actually works and what real threats are. I'll just beat you with a large wrench if I want your id that bad.
To put it bluntly, I could have done almost as much damage almost as fast in the last shooting with a baseball bat. Just the bat would get me through a fair amount of kids before an adult could stop me. I could certainly clear at least one class room.
Of course, adults would be able to stop me easily in groups, but a single class would be toast.
The issue at hand is purely perception. Crazy nut jobs going on killing rampages is hardly new. Its been happening, recorded, for thousands of years. Most of that time BEFORE guns even existed. It happens more often than not... WITHOUT GUNS, even today.
You are more likely to get struck by lighting twice than to be involved in anything like these, even as a bystander or parent/friend of someone involved. Having grown up in Florida I realize that you can't spend your entire life running from potential lightning stikes or a good part of your life will be wasted running from something that isn't going to happen.
This isn't about gun control, this is about people control and how you are being manipulated. This is about how the media uses events and peoples emotions to gain ratings by blowing things out of proportion so they can sell airtime.
You want this sort of shit to decline? Stop giving it air time. The whole reason this shit happens is because some whacko wants attention and figures out that if he kills a bunch of people, the younger the better (younger draws more public emotion/attention) the news will be all over it and everyone in the world will know his/her name within seconds. Sure, they'll end up dead but that is unimportant for any number of different reasons ranging from religious belief to simply not thinking that far into the future. These are people operating on a faulty CPU, not everything 'makes sense'.
Stop blaming guns for a problem caused by the media.
Yeah, it must be nice to be paid $30 hr (fantastic wages for the cost of living around here) to do a job that commonly pays half that for non union, for as long as it lasts anyway. I guess they don't mind the transient lifestyle of moving city to city.
If a company is moving due to unions, it tends to only happen once. The move is usually to a state like mine which does all but actually cut the balls off of unions. They move to a state that has banned unions or made it so they have no real power. No more $30. No more strikes because the union leaders want a bigger kick back. Just work.
Really? Were developing with a rule against using a search engine? They turn up in plenty of my search results for various iOS dev related things.
They were one of 'the first' iOS dev sites, earlier enough that I'd venture to say they were probably there before apple's iOS SDK existed but my memory may be a bit off, that was 5 years ago. Not knowing about this site indicates you live in a virtual box.
I am not a Linux fan, however if Ubuntu was to make a phone that had the apps I want (Just because you have an app that 'does the same thing' doesn't mean I want to use it) to use, and was just a phone normally that when I got to work I could just plugin the monitor and power, bluetooth keyboard and mouse and it instantly switches the display to desktop mode and I continue working just as if I'd brought my laptop...
I'd considering use Linux for that. I'd prefer that they make OSX an ARM platform as well, so people made fat x86/ARM binaries and I could just use iOS on the phone display and OSX when in desktop mode, with apps just switching UIs between them just like the UI changes when the screen rotates.
I want a laptop phone. I want my laptop inside my phone. I DO NOT want my phone to behave like a desktop. I DO NOT WANT my desktop to behave like a phone/tablet. I want one device that switches between the two so that as long as I have my phone, I always have my laptop.
I would give up a fully decked Retina MacBook Pro in exchange for said device in a heartbeat, even if it ran on a slow ass ARM processor (compared to my i7 laptop) for the privilege of having only one device.
You may not realize it yet, but a single converged device that does both IS the mass market. Thats where its going to go eventually. Its just a question of when we get to the point of having enough CPU power for low enough energy and size usage requirements that we get the performance we demand in our phones.
Yea, except he did no such thing. Try TCP Syn flood attack... with tools written by someone else. The very definition of script kiddie.
Mitnick NEVER had skills. He's been over blown as if he was special. Truth is, his 'skills' are absolutely shitty and the only people who think otherwise are himself, the guy who prosecuted him, and his followers that think criminal hacking is cool.
He accomplished some social networking so long ago that no one even remembers what he did. He practiced it in a time when no one put any thought into it at all, so it was easy as cake. Not that its MUCH hard now.
Social engineering was his real forte, but he wasn't particularly impressive with that. He simply took advantage of systems that had no protection. A con-man who saw the open hole that was the size of the Atlantic ocean. Hell he wasn't the first or the best then. He's just the moron who got caught. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
Mitnick is about as impressive as a hacker as the locksmith who opens unlocked doors. He never has never had any 'skills'.
Where the computer stops the engine from going any faster is the rev-limiter, however that does not mean it has not been over-revved. Flooring the pedal in neutral is most certainly considered over revving it. The engine would not last long under no load in those conditions.
On Automatic cars, the car has to been in park with the key in the all-off/remove position (rather than accessory on/engine off) before the steering wheel lock engages. On manual cars the car has to been in all-off/remove. With the key in any other position, the steering lock should not engage, just to avoid the problem you reference.
Not once does it occur to them that the reason for this is that they are simply overpaying for what they are getting.
Funny, I feel the same way about most people who feel the need to show me their new Android phones. From my perspective, they seem to be pretty proud of over paying for less.
As an iPhone user, I understand that I'm paying more to have a walled garden and apps that someone else approves or disallows. I consider this a feature, so paying it seems logical to me. Someone else is doing the work instead of me. I'm outsourcing some of the vetting of apps so I don't have to do the research myself.
What I don't understand is the number of people who use Android and think that having the wild west at their finger tips is a feature, yet they still pay as much as I end up paying.
I pay too much, but I get feature X.
You pay the same amount, but you don't get feature X
So basically, Apple is doing more work, and still putting more money in the bank.
Yes, I'm an apple fanboy, no denying it, but I see some really confusing logic in what you say. You seem to be proud of paying too much and getting less features, and you seem to treat that AS a feature. Taking it too the next step, you seem to be proud of the idea that the company you're fanboying for does less work, so should have less expenses, charges the same price, and STILL has made less profit sitting in the bank.
Its like you're proud of being the lesser man or something.
Nothing wrong with being the lesser man, but generally people focus on being proud of impressive feats, not coming in second in a two man race.

They have a name for people like you.

Some insurance companies can go bankrupt. Others, like AIG, apparently cannot.
And that alone is reason enough to start a revolution. That is so incredibly unconstitutional its not even a little bit amusing.
