You are about to see a huge wave of iOS application updates with iOS7, incorporating lots of advanced system features. As Android updates lag in adoption it becomes harder and harder to maintain parity with iOS versions of applications that are just plain simpler to write and have more powerful features.
And why can't this be achieved with the support library?
Why as an application developer would not not make use of updated OS features that shaves tens or hundreds of hours of coding time, when you know that 80-90% of the target market will be able to run it?
As an application developer, why would you shun the support library that brings new functionality from new versions to older platforms?
I was actually referring to website owners rather than advertisers setting the terms of service where you agree to the delivery and tracking of advertisement. In theory, advertisers could require that website owners require a ToS on their website that requires this and permit the advertisers to go after people.
The violations I spoke of were of access to the service, couple that with western society laws on unauthorized access and you have some interesting criminal/civil charges on top. I'm not calling advertising 'speech'.
Your statements try to push this as not possible today, I see it as entirely possible.
Can you cite some 'declaration of corporate rights' which says I'm required by law to allow all of these web beacons and cookies?
In theory, they could use this in their Terms of Service and deny you service on those grounds. Additionally, depending on the country, this could be seen as unauthorized access to a system (civil and/or criminal law), because you did stick to the conditions of the terms of service.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
The definition of "arbitrary interference" is:
arbitrary inference is a type of cognitive bias in which a person quickly draws a conclusion without the requisite evidence.
The definition of "cognitive bias" is:
A cognitive bias is a pattern of deviation in judgment, whereby inferences of other people and situations may be drawn in an illogical fashion
I would say that advertising algorithms are not persons. But, if they were, then an argument to create more sophisticated monitoring to improve the standing of "requisite evidence" could be used by advertisers. You know, for human rights purposes.
I don't think this has much relation or focus with targeting advertising.
and our right to not have some douchebag advertising company know every detail of our lives.
So what you're saying is, every detail of your life is pretty much visiting websites where their advertisements exist. I feel for you.
Regarding this universal right you mentioned, can you quote something relevant to back this right up, such as from 'The declaration of human rights' or such?
They already sold out the xbox one in most places before even making this announcement. I think Microsoft just didn't want the bad press, they were going to get significant sales regardless.
Theres nothing stopping Sony from doing the same thing. Just look at the PS3 with OtherOS, PS2 backwards compatibility. If you decided not to update, you lost access to new games and any multiplayer support in existing games.
I have yet to hear a single complaint that their system is too slow, not one.
The AMD V105 in my Acer Aspire One is too slow. I've used older generation Atom CPUs that were faster.
So unless a person is in one of those rare fields where they need every possible cycle they can squeeze out of a machine they really are just pissing money away.
I usually don't buy AMD to avoid the repeated erratum issues.
But that still don't explain why in the fuck Intel don't get busted,
If one wants to become no longer a "lazy piece[] of shit", then what tool do you recommend for creating HTML5 animations that's comparable in capability to Flash CS series?
You hacked the game so it didn't destroy the Mass Effect gates?
I had the synthesis ending (remember, all ships were capable of FTL without the mass relays, that's how you were able to visit distant systems without mass relays), where it's clear the universe didn't end with Shepherd breathing.
I couldn't remove the virus no matter what method I used. I tried all the latest anti-virus software and all the usual tricks
"Tricks", "anti-virus software" ? Uh. Just remove it manually, duh. Like any normal Slashdotter would.
The only "trick" I can think of that would be relevant is reimaging in fifteen minutes using a network boot installer, then after restoring only the files the user wants and I can't see how that trick would fail.
Your analogy to using attractive men to sell, e.g., clothing doesn't work. In those cases, the message is "Buy our product, and look like this!" Booth babes aren't promoting that sort of message. They're just eye candy for the straight men.
Use men that look like the stereotypical attractive females! That way men are the new objectification and equalize it all out.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't understand how using the support library is holding them back, can you explain this further?
Can you explain to me why developers using the support library is not a solution to this problem?
How is the support library not easy?
And why can't this be achieved with the support library?
As an application developer, why would you shun the support library that brings new functionality from new versions to older platforms?
That's why HMRC website terms and conditions aren't upheld right, despite being only a link on every webpage? Oh wait, they are.
Do not question the mighty Google! Google is infallible.

Same result.

You can access the null device in various ways in Windows:
From the command line, you could do: type filename.txt > NUL
Alternatively, in Microsoft's programming languages, you can usually pass it to \\.\Device\Null etc.

They did.
Note: I am not the grandparent.
Adobe Edge Animate.
No.
No.
Pedophilia.
They don't accept the taxes paid in Bitcoin.
They would require the taxes to be paid in $$, like they do currently with foreign currencies. Problem solved.
The first step is to get some friends. I heard social networks are one way to do this.
Sounds like a good starting point for a new game (although unlikely since Bioware only wanted to do three in the series).
I had the synthesis ending (remember, all ships were capable of FTL without the mass relays, that's how you were able to visit distant systems without mass relays), where it's clear the universe didn't end with Shepherd breathing.
I saved the universe in my ending, again, you're just bad at the game.
With organizations and corporations classed as legal entities, what could go wrong with that? Oh wait.
"Tricks", "anti-virus software" ? Uh. Just remove it manually, duh. Like any normal Slashdotter would.

You don't know your job, please go.
