I donâ(TM)t work for free. If they want me to solve problems, they can sign a consulting contract.
But hereâ(TM)s an idea, if they are going to force software engineers to do this sort of thing, maybe they can break up some vexing Homeland Security software problem and piecemeal it out, sort of like crowdsourcingâ¦
One guy reported that the Flashlight app on his phone had permission to use the microphone as well as access his his contacts. I can't imagine how the coders for that App "accidentally" requested those permissions.
This sort of thing usually happens when app writers use some IDE template that already has a bunch of stuff that apps commonly use, and they don't delete the stuff that they don't use because it takes time and they really don't care. This means that in all likelihood, many of these apps that have puzzling permissions don't actually use them.
The App Store ratings for Uber are meaningless in the same way that a restaurant or other service provider that attracts the ire of the media for some reason suddenly gets one star reviews â" from people that have never eaten at the restaurant or used the service. Those who are regular Uber users or non-users looking for traditional taxi alternatives will continue to use or look to Uber. Lyft should be leveraging this too-doo, but as before the Uber issue, Lyft is absent from serious media promotion, and I wonder how they stay in business.
The is crap written in EVERY language, and variations of C are certainly not immune to this. I can write code that accepts unsanitized input in any language you choose.
It's so secure written in the professional engineered PHP...
If I could down-vote you I would. I suppose you write all your code in C (not that C++ shit) when you don't have the time to pound it out in machine (with vi, only nubes use anything else). Or are you one of those trendy Ruby On Rails guys - oh, wait, that's old news. But never mind, I assume all your code is revolutionary and bug free...
Ha ha ha ha ha, fuck off, asshole. For the record, a great many of us have been using Slashdot since year zero, before you. Yet we never felt the need to make a name for ourselves. You are a narcissistic asshole that only registered a username because you want some sense of self-gratification. Since registering a username does not require verifiable credentials and is open to everyone, that fact that you DID so means nothing. Really, truly, it means nothing. So, if you're unhappy about a response, attack the substance, not the sender.
You tip what you think the driver deserves. If the tipping issue sends you into stasis, you've got more problems than your "ride share" (taxi service) choice.
Just for grins you might try reading TFA, and learn something about why it's still popular enough to be profitable for Linden Labs.
Jesus, dude, CHILL OUT!
All he said was he was surprised it was still around, he didn't shit on it and suggest all SL users are neck-beards in their mom's basement, or something(or is that YOU?)
As one who is not involved in SL, it didn't occur to me that unlike MANY MANY similar ideas, it hadn't faded into history for whatever reason. But that's not meant as an insult (as clearly you took it), simply an observation from someone who never got into SL. To each their own.
If you are taking a trip to somewhere your phone requires roaming charges you should not take your phone with you.
Indeed. In fact, a good thing to do is simply get to where you're going and buy a "burner phone". You can dump it if you choose, or keep it and hand it over to the Brown Shirts when you re-enter the US...
Slashdot Mirror
It may be what schools sell, even the public colleges, but a degree has never guaranteed a job. Surprise!
That grouping of words is all over the place. I suggest learning basic grammar before making such assertions.

No, not really.
Except it's universal as email for group meetings and job interviews
What are these "job interviews" and "group meetings" you speak of? I live in my mom's basement, all I have to do is text her when I'm ready to eat.
Fix your encoding.
Are you talking to me or Slashdot?
There must be something wrong with their testing protocol, we all know that the earth is about 6,000 years old.

SURPRISE!
But seriously, President Obama was in love with the various spy laws as well...

I'm also glad I don't use PHP

FAKE NEWS!
The companies in question - Wendy's, Subway, McDonalds, Tim Horton's - responded HERE.
Their responses sound reasonable, so either they are lying or the "DNA tests" are not accurate.
"You take these pop stations, they're reaching 18-34 young, white females."
News for nerds: White bitches hate Jay Z.
I thought that was part of his core audience, at least one would think by the amount of his dreck that gets major market air-play...

Hurr hurr hurr. The "I misread the headline as" post are always so clever and FUNNAY!!! HURR HURR DURR DURR!!
Why thank you, Anonymous Coward , my friends tell me I'm very witty!
Google wasn't an OS or a phone company, either.
Yes, but the OS and phone stuff all go to support Google's primary cash source, advertising.
In Uber's case, company owned self-driving cares do not support "ride sharing".
At first, I misread the headline as "Windows 10 now allows you to block back-door installation"...

You need to get out of mom's basement, your life sounds depressing.
What's that?
