You can get a Tracphone from Walmart too, what's your point....that windows phone has no market-share. That nobody considers buying a windows pone. That Microsoft had to GIVE AWAY Surface tablets to the NFL in order for them to use them - which previously, the NFL bought iPads....
"The entry of these passwords on portable devices is not user friendly in many cases, as the small touchscreen or keyboard elements can be difficult to accurately select, "
You mean to say things are not easy to do on mobile device??? About fucking time someone said this. OF COURSE IT'S NOT EASIER...it never was - never stopped you from pushing people to do all things mobile.
Again, it's about the mobile device not the computer. Never had a fucking problem ordering via a computer. Fuck Off Amazon.
Listen ass-hole, "open source" people are bitching that Nvidia drivers are closed and that you shouldn't use drivers that are proprietary. The open source community wants to make the decision for the end user as opposed to leaving it the end user. That's fucking stupid. The only fucking reason the end user would care about an open source driver is that the manufacturer did not provide a driver (closed or open). People want to use that piece of hardware and however it works with Linux, is the way they will go. It's about fucking choice. Where open source truly matters is the Linux Kernel. Why it matters there is mostly due to legal issues. After that it doesn't matter. It would be nice if the manufacturer would provide an open source driver or work with the Linux community in developing one. But as long a driver is provided, it matters not.
Why? He was in charge of cybersecurity, fighting cyber terrorism. So he's position is unique. People are only thinking in terms of aiding an investigation with the premise of thwarting another attack. He provides a big picture prospective.
RTFA. He wasn't talking about Apple's position on encryption. He was saying the argument that the government should be allowed to force Apple to break the iPhone security. He said on Constitutional grounds the government possess the authority to force Apple to break the iPhone security. However, on cyber security grounds, the government should not do that because it would weaken our cyber security. Government's right versus Cyber Security, that's what is close. Law enforcement would gain but we would lose some cyber security. So the balancing act would err on the side of cyber security.
Thanks douche bag for that, let's not do anything rant. While were at it let's dump more dioxin into the environment and let more power plants add benzene to the atmosphere.
Since you seem to be challenged by science, the solar cycle does not correlate with the high temperatures we have been seeing over the past century.
And while the Earth would even survive a nuclear war, let alone a warming planet, human beings would not. That's the point ass-hole. Now fuck off.
Exactly! It's a big deal. The problem is the Republicans gave her cover with the insipid Benghazi probe. The real issue was the private email server containing classified information. FYI the FBI is investigating. Charges come later.
Actually it did stop. The program was about developing lasers to shoot down ICBMs. Never worked. Later programs were about theater missile defense, not national missile defense and focused on interceptors or kill vehicles - which also do not work.
No you are an ass-hole because repeated investigations stated these were from the first gulf war and did not pose the threat to the U.S. Bush Administration claimed. No Mushroom Clouds moron.
Listen ass-hole. No, there were no WMDs. It was known at the time. Former weapons inspectors from the first Gulf War reported that fact. Even new weapons inspectors did not find WMDs, before the U.S. yanked them out.
The Bush Administration claimed Iraq had NUCLEAR WEAPONS. They claimed they got Yellow Cake Uranium from Niger and they were getting this centrifuge tubes to enrich the Uranium. The Uranium claim as debunked by Ambassador Wilson and the centrifuge tube claim was debunked by the Department of Energy.
The rise of ISIS was a direct response to the destabilization of Iraq, after Saddam Hussein was removed. Iraq is a land with many different tribal groups and Saddam Hussein kept them under control. It took a dictator the keep the country at bay. Once that was removed, you had chaos.
It screams government intervention. Unfortunately these are government sanctioned monopolies with exclusivity agreements. Government will need to regulate on two fronts: content and infrastructure. From the content perspective demand unbundling and force a la carte. This actually will cause channel prices to drop. More people watch QVC than ESPN yet ESPN changes several times more. ESPN is guaranteed revenue from people who don't watch the channel. Remove the captive audience and ESPN is forced to compete on price. Then you will see the true nature of pricing. Cost might go up, because ESPN throw money are programming because they can pass the cost onto the customer. So they might rethink their 10 year $15 Billion dollar deal with the NFL to carry Monday Night football. Customer might balk and a massive price increase - since now you have a smaller customer base - and ESPN might go back to the NFL and actually negotiate on what they can afford.
If government runs infrastructure - like they're suppose to do - then they can lease out the lines to companies to provide the service. Like the way the FCC licenses the air waves for TV and Radio transmissions.
There are ways forward but the industry opposes it and politicians aren't interested in upsetting their donors.
No they can't. Not without signing agreements with existing companies. Communities sign franchise agreements that give exclusive rights to that company. You are very ignorant of how this works. http://www.theverge.com/2016/2...
But their are no anti-trust violations as the government allows this. The courts have re-interpreted anti-trust laws http://www.thenation.com/artic... You are woefully uninformed.
Tell that to AT&T where in Tennessee where the local community passed a measure to allow a competitor like Google Fiber come into the area and run their wires using the same poles and allow them to move AT&T's equipment. AT&T's claimed they couldn't do that because they would be touching their property. AT&T said the community does not have the authority for that type of legislation and said the state laws of Tennessee forbids that.
Again, DO SOME RESEARCH. Understand how the industry works before commenting.
You really don't understand how business operates today do you. You don't understand how government interacts with business. I have a suggestion: DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH before you post asinine comments. Then you may actually have fruitful discussions.

I think you mean Trump supporters. Nice to know they'll attach anyone they think *might* be a terrorist...
I guess you are not familiar with actions by US Chamber of Commerce to relocate jobs out of China to lower wage countries...

The Constitution states otherwise.

"NOAA blames the recent warm weather on a record-strength El Niño “and other climate patterns,” most notably, global warming"
They also say global warming was responsible.
Exactly! It's a big deal. The problem is the Republicans gave her cover with the insipid Benghazi probe. The real issue was the private email server containing classified information. FYI the FBI is investigating. Charges come later.
Who is saying that? The law is very clear, classified information is not allowed on personal email servers. Period.
The FBI is currently investigating her. Move along Potsy.
Actually it did stop. The program was about developing lasers to shoot down ICBMs. Never worked. Later programs were about theater missile defense, not national missile defense and focused on interceptors or kill vehicles - which also do not work.
They lied about the mobile chemical program and the nuclear program and saying they (Rumsfield) knew where the WMDs were. You around Tikrit...
