Get over yourself. You guys need to learn to "get over it" and learn that you have no right to NOT be offended. The "professional" thing is no to release software that is riddled with security holes. I'm still waiting for the "professional" software houses to start doing that.
His point is these devices are already controlled by the network and the mega corporations that control the device. Those corporations can instruct those devices to do whatever they wish. You don't "control" them, you just use them to get access to some of their functionality. I don't find that humorous myself.
"Abused the legal system". I love it. If you idiots actually read the complaints it includes a complaint from the adjacent property where they were concerned about the local flooding such a site would cause. And Apple wasn't making it subterranean, did you even see the plan? Here it is:
Yes, I am against that as well. Apparently the town in this case was against it too. I realize you probably don't own a home, or care about where you live, but some people do.
Also, the local golf course didn't like it either because of flooding concerns. Slashdot idiots think that building a massive data center will have no ecological impact on the area because Apple says it is "green".
Yeah I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want that in their town. It is in the "middle of nowhere" right? No ecological problems there - it is "nowhere". You guys are so stupid. A building of that size has only a negative impact on a town. There is nothing good about that picture.
Go do your own damn research. I'm not your servant. I just said "I don't want a data center in your town". You haven't even seen a data center apparently.
How does an Apple data center help the Irish economy? Would you want a data center in YOUR town? I am sorry so many of you think that planning laws and individual voices are not important. You guys would make excellent servants. All hail the Corporation!
Yeah, it is ridiculous that people don't want data centers or nuclear power plants sited in their neighborhood. Corporations should be allowed to put anything wherever they want.
Just because a building complies with code and zoning doesn't mean it will be approved. Building codes don't cover every aspect of the design and construction. The zoning rules in that area allowed for discretionary review. Sorry you don't like the rules, and the idea that local residents should have a say in what is built in their neighborhoods, but that's how it works. Building a four story McMansion was clearly inappropriate for that area.
Believe it or not, individuals are allowed to challenge things in court. I know, hard to believe that is still allowed. It really should be banned and only the State and Corporations should have the power to decide what is best.

....free taxpayer money to the tech corporations. Wonderful.

Sorry snowflake, I am not complaining aobut anything. I am saying that I wouldn't want a data center in my town, especially one that looks like this:

Looks like a local environmental nightmare to me. But if you are OK with it, then good (I guess?)

But yeah, looks good, right? No problem there.
Yes, I am against that as well. Apparently the town in this case was against it too. I realize you probably don't own a home, or care about where you live, but some people do.
"Do you rant about the "ugly" buildings in your state that you have never seen or visited?"
Yes, because I am not a self-centered idiot.
"Unoccupied forest". People are really dumb. Those "unoccupied forests" are key to keeping you alive and healthy.
Out of sight, out of mind, right? No problem, as long as you don't see it from your window, right?

Have you guys ever seen a datacenter? "Nondescript" is one word for them. Who would want that in their town?
Because I care what my town looks like and data centers look like shit. Sorry YOU don't care about things.

Considering the recent revelation that AT&T paid for access to Trump via his lawyer that is pretty funny.
Greenwow, I thought Microsoft destroyed Seattle? I didn't know Amazon did.
I don't know. I am just making stuff up. Either way I wouldn't want a data center in my town either.
Thanks for the update greenwow. How is the dial up access today?
I was including contract/maintenance workers, but you are right the numbers are very low.
Some people think that corporations and government are the only ones with legal rights.
What a shame. Some guy couldn't build a FOUR STORY McMansion. My heart bleeds for him.
