    Copyright?

    Yeah, Apple hater, if only Apple sold some quad or more core computers, eh?

    *sigh* you can fix this in less time it took to write this rant; that's the beauty of Emacs.

    In short: the problem was not Emacs but an asshat developer; and it's not like those are rare.

    I drag the folders with music on iTunes and hit sync. How hard is that to get?

    You mean Apple should sue the celebs? Hmmm....

  13. Re:I dunno about LEDs, but CFLs don't last on The Great Lightbulb Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    And manufacturers like Philips still get away with advertising those CFLs and LEDs as e.g. "12 years(*)" with a footnote that comes down IMO that you have to provide a quality of power one doesn't find in a house / office. Good luck claiming that "warranty".

  15. Re:NFC isn't used for just payment on Apple Locks iPhone 6/6+ NFC To Apple Pay Only · · Score: 1

    AirDrop only requires that both enable Bluetooth. No need to dig through settings (you just can do that via the control panel). It works quite well, I use it to transfer photos from my wife's phone to my iPad (and vice versa).

  16. Re:Instead a U2 Album, How About A Better Web Site on iPhone 6 Sales Crush Means Late-Night Waits For Some Early Adopters · · Score: 2

    They plan to ship 80 MILLION iPhone6(+) this year alone, so that's 1.25 USD/phone in cost to cover the album. Peanuts.

  17. Re:Good decision? on Microsoft Killing Off Windows Phone Brand Name In Favor of Just Windows · · Score: 1

    It has been my understanding that Apple will keep OSX and iOS separate but for features that make sense to be on both. I don't expect a iMac Touch or Macbook Touch soon, but maybe I am wrong.

  18. Re:Check you address here on 5 Million Gmail Passwords Leaked, Google Says No Evidence Of Compromise · · Score: 1

    Heh, my wife was asking about such a site, and like I explained to her: you really think that someone who has collected all this data is just handing it out for free? No, it's IMO just a small, probably outdated sample. Moreover, I wouldn't trust any site that allows me to check if I am on the list. This just confirms that such accounts are active or at least that someone cares enough about it to check it.

  19. Maybe a fraction of the actual list (and outdated) on 5 Million Gmail Passwords Leaked, Google Says No Evidence Of Compromise · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I guess this is just a small fraction of the actual list, because such a list has a value and why just handing it out for free? Releasing a fraction and seeing people going upset because they are on the list, and it's actually their password, however, increases the value of the actual list. Even more so if the actual list is more recent.

    And you know it's wrong because ... ?

    Anyway, for one the photos were collected over months and only of a hand full of celebs. If iCloud was breached there would be terrabytes of data on the piratebay. But maybe I should just hold my breath a bit longer?

    The iPhone 6 is 4.7", and might fit your hand better than the 4.7" phone you had.

    Yeah, collected over months and "suddenly" leaked a week before this event ...

    "I wish everyday that an alien race would land on this planet so we finally have a true comparison. Lets see how "fantastic" we are when that happens."

    This would create a culture shock way more severe compared to "a bunch of diverse indian tribes that got their asses kicked by the Spanish". And hence those aliens you love so much would be worse than those humans you seem to hate so much.

    Finally, you can have true compassion, too. If you just made an effort instead of hating here.

  24. Re:Still having misery with Firefox. on Firefox 32 Arrives With New HTTP Cache, Public Key Pinning Support · · Score: 1

    Not my experience but probably has to do that I clear out all tabs regularly (2-3x month). Fx is unstable, here, however (Ubuntu 14.04). More than latest on 10.04, which I was running until recently.

  25. Re:Still having misery with Firefox. on Firefox 32 Arrives With New HTTP Cache, Public Key Pinning Support · · Score: 1

    Once in a while I clean out all open tabs (like 2-3 times a month). Firefox is still not as stable as the latest version on 10.04, so there's definitely something going on. Some have said (here) that it's my hardware. The most likely suspect is that when I switched to Ubuntu 14.04 (and got a way less stable Fx and Thunderbird as a rewards) I also switched to AHCI. Maybe that's buggy on a Dell Vostro 200ST. So soon I am going to do a reinstall and switch AHCI off. The only other difference is that I now have a 1T hdd instead of 320G. However, since I have 8G memory I fail to see how a bad HDD / bad transfer to/from HDD can affect Fx in such a way that it crashes several times a week.
