It's still forced, just in a different way. If you explicitly block the image, (humorously named hero.jpg ) the apology immediately shows up. without resizing.
It helps to understand a little more than zero about how things work in the real world. A guilty plea, as noted by drinky doesn't mean guilty or not. You're fined for a speeding ticket. You plead no contest and/or guilty. It doesn't mean you sped or not. That question of "did you do it"? Never exists and is never raised if it goes straight to sentencing. It would help better if the media accurately portrayed shit like this but instead they use phrases like "accused" and "charged" which truly mean zero in the real world, but people are immeasurably stupid and believe everything they see on TV. Also, guilty pleas under torture are not admissible either. Why do you think there was actual discussion and issues regarding if solitary confinement was regarded as torture for Manning? Because torture pleas fall under hague convention stuff - so even if the US tries to call him an enemy combatant or some shit like that, he'd still be covered under Hague.
how you use the money matters - in apple's case, using it to shut down competition (antitrust) is worse than extortion. Even in the cases of extortion companies can still survive.
Except that the total amount of proof of anything Manning has done at the moment, is ZERO. So way to strawman everything when he hasn't even had a single ruling from a judge.
It is indeed Adrian's fault for things getting to this point - and not a morality strawman about whether it's right or not to distribute things when it hasn't even been acknowledged that it is him.
Not to mention that this is a plea by both sides to speed up the trial, not an admission of anything - it bears no weight in court and can be rejected by either side.
Why? It would absolutely be less secure than the bank's own approach. You really think an individual can be trusted to keep things secure better than a large company? Just because the hackers are better than the banks doesn't mean that any user can do anything worth a damn to compare as far as security does.
Meanwhile, if you're worried about your bank security, then stick with cash.
Of course, the problem is that pretty much every major company has to get involved in patent lawsuits.
No, they don't. It's a perception, which has been proven wrong by courts almost continually, if people read what courts actually say.
Whether it's potentially lucrative in the short term only? Yes. Have courts basically disallowed it in general? Also yes.
I'm staying out of development when it comes to technology because I know any ideas I have will make me be sued off my ass before I can even start a business.
Patent trolls suck, but apple has no defense against being victimized for it when they're trying to do the exact same thing. In fact, apple is worse because they have billions of dollars to shut down entire companies with. A troll does not.
Nobody in the US government anywhere on the political spectrum has shown they have any intentions to end the copyright/IP witchhunt except for SCOTUS and maybe 5 senators. The entirety of congress is at fault for this travesty and the damage this copyright/IP farce is causing to our economy.
the 60 year old executive/director who works at a company and gets a tablet, that's who.
Since setting up exchange is literally a total of 4-5 taps on the screen and entering the same username/password they remember, it's far more common than you might think.
I agree that the OP was shit as well, and the whole argument is flawed.
It's incredibly easy on both, actually. In fact, it's even something I do almost daily. So no, you should come back after you fail your troll a little further. But yes, let's make a strawman argument because that apple products are not "higher quality".
Except that we're not talking about food or inkjets.
The point is, apple's profit isn't actual quality - it's just a surcharge for people dumb enough to buy. They didn't develop their OS or the ideas, they just refine everyone else's stuff, just like............ everyone else.
Thus, reason for apple being worth more = nonexistent.
I am taking a stab at the dark here, but I'm assuming they meant a prescription drug approach that is guaranteed and quick, as opposed to "might not work and leave you crippled". Not that I would want to do that, but I can surely guess that terminally ill folks would rather like to be able to choose when they die of their own volition.
That vote however, doesn't count due to our first past the post voting system.
Vote, vote all you want - the electorals will do whatever the fuck *they* want. That's before we even get into gerrymandering to slant the electoral votes. Enjoy!
Obama: not going to change anything, maybe tweak a few things, mostly do nothing Romney: no guarantee things wont' get worse.
I realize this is douche/turd sandwich scenario, but I don't know how anyone would expect Romney to do positive things when the entire republican base is so far extreme right wing lately that it makes them a hostile party for politics. Democrats are stagnant as fuck, but they aren't as extreme. Not moderate (and thus just as shitty a party).
Frand has existed for years, and isn't just "refused". It's supposed to be a negotiation process.You know, the kind apple refused? It's unfortunate (and getting rid of software patents will go a ways towards stopping some of them), but frand has existed far longer than the issues of manipulation of software patents.
that's not the cheering on of FRand, even if FRAND is shit in the first place.
Also, technologies like LTE have requirements that FRAND patents either have a set rate or are royalty free. It's not a perfect world, but it's a shitload better than what apple is doing (what google is doing should bear no interest to anyone, honestly).
It's not the first or the last time such a situation has happened for them. Woz was about the only thing at apple preventing shit like this from happening regularly. What astounds me is people seem to forget apple, microsoft, cisco and oracle have always been this way. It's funny when people act like these companies change from time to time - they don't.
This is fucking Russia, caps. A country I would like to visit for my own reasons (heritage), but not one I'd ever defend.
You're really going to believe it's an independent opinion poll is declared as that, in a country where free speech is not allowed? Free speech doesn't guarantee a valid and legitimate independent opinion to be spoken, but a lack of free speech absolutely prevents that concept from existing.
I don't mean that Russia is 100% bad bad, but if you believe that any poll exists in Russia country which is not coerced you are delusional. There's a reason they call it a dictatorship there. The private pollsters don't have to try to influence the public at all - the public in Russia know that merely even responding to the poll can put their lives at risk.

I'd assume that may be the case. I never quite understood why such a reference was thought to make sense for a large block in the first place?
wouldn't "main" block or "large" block make sense? what the hell is "hero-unit"?
It's still forced, just in a different way. If you explicitly block the image, (humorously named hero.jpg ) the apology immediately shows up. without resizing.
so instead of deliberately hiding the apology, it's now automatically hidden. See? Better! /facepalm

he may be "stupid" by anon definition, but it doesn't mean he's inaccurate.

still waiting for an example of something that's not a response to getting sued by someone else. As in - google actually doing patent shakedowns, etc.
Google count = 0.
With apple, MS, oracle? There are plenty.
Except that the total amount of proof of anything Manning has done at the moment, is ZERO. So way to strawman everything when he hasn't even had a single ruling from a judge.

The counter to that is simple, just congress is stupid.
Counter = internet.

Laziest troll ever.
No, that's a very myopic short term view. If you don't pass your savings on to your customers, you will lose customers.

Point is, they're behind the competition. There are faster (and cheaper) drives out there now.
So, this may work in the long term - but they're just another competitor in the mix at the moment.
Uh, he said yes.

No, only *YOU* can try to vote for someone else.
