Good for you. Apple was hoping everyone will think iOS apps are the real Web 2.0. "There's an app for that?" I'd rather write a website that anyone on any platform can use.
You're just trying to obstruct science and medicine. Don't let that fact get in the way of an insightful/. post. Hey guys, don't get distracted, back to talking about 114. Frankly we should be ashamed of letting anyone live that long. Humans are a disease. They should all be killed on sight so our planet doesn't get destroyed by those greedy parasites.
They jumped at the chance? When Apple's contract with AT&T was over it was quite a while longer before the iPhone was available at Verizon. Even longer for the other carriers.
Yes. Proof of this is California. They don't wait around for the Federal level to solve their problems. Neither should any other state. These agencies should be on the State level not the Federal level. This implies that some states will not need some of these agencies. Which is great.
People posed the same question back when Apple let artists publish music directly to iTunes. Last time I checked Apple didn't exactly become the only game in town. Amazon is not not in the publishing biz anymore than Apple is in the music biz. Amazon and Apple just want to sell you cool electronic gadgets.
Americans think "freedom" is the freedom from the responsibility to take care of your parents when they get up in age. The freedom from the responsibility to earn money to put your kids through school. The freedom from the fiscal discipline and planning and hard work required to have a stream of income to support you in retirement.
Not paying tax is the same as stealing from your fellow man? So basically most ultra rich and all of the the poor people are stealing from the middle class.
We all know Jobs has a magnetic plug fetish. Jobs managed to get a bunch of nerds having a conversation about female holes getting plugged with magnetic cut-off jacks. He is probably enjoying reading this entire thread right now on his iPhone 6 and practically having an igasam.
Angry Jobs maybe. He's pissed that China just leaked that they are in talks with Apple. Not even the Chinese government are permitted to speak of secret Apple deals in the works.
In that case, it wasn't the bitcoin-specific activity that was illegal. It was the acquisition of the botnet that was illegal. It would not be the bitcoin folks who would take issue with this guy. It would be the people who's machines he hacked. This whole debate has *nothing* to do with bitcoin. The guy could have used the botnet to perform a DoS attack. He could have used it to run a spam operation. He could have done nothing at all with it. In either case we are talking about the hacker here and the fact that he hacked unwitting people's computers and took over their GPU's without their permission. That's the activity that was illegal. Nothing to do with bitcoin.
Your problem is that you don't understand how bitcoin works. It's not like fiat currency that you can illegally print if you steal a printer. There is only one way to get bitcoin. It can't be counterfeited. It's just like gold. You can't print counterfeit gold. If you could somehow chemically convert lead to gold the resulting gold would not be a counterfeit. It would be real gold and be valued the same as all other real gold. And the only reason gold has value is because people value it. Gold is intrinsically nothing more than a metal. Bitcoin are nothing more than bits tracked and distributed.
It doesn't have all of the same problems our currency has today. If you bought yourself a massive super-computer you could do exactly the same thing this guy did. And the Bitcoin community would benefit from your participation in their system. This guy just stole his supercomputer instead of buying one. That doesn't reflect negatively at all on Bitcoin.

Apple makes you follow the rules they come up with too; not just the app developers. I sure hope you weren't fond of Dropbox.
Yep. It's time you Export yourself outside the walled garden. It'll be a strange feeling for a few months. But boy is it liberating.

Shut up.

Paul's plans would surely mean we need fewer politicians in Washington DC. Correct, the self-serving politicians in DC would not be in favor of that.

The list goes on pretty considerably.

Does anybody use Ruby (or Ruby on Rails) as the primary language for big-time software projects? Can we name a few that everybody should recognize?
"They have some catching up to do"
Yea, that's the whole point of their efforts.
I've been hearing how awesome graphene is for years and years. Is anybody making anything out of this stuff today?

Steve wants to force you to buy a $20 adapter that costs $0.03 to manufacture.
Java is the only one of those 3 languages that uses a virtual machine. Not sure why you lumped C# in with Java.

I wonder why bonch is so interested in making sure everybody gives Apple the respect and worship he feels they are due?
$20M is a rounding error of a rounding error to Apple. Apple has more money and power than most nations.
Whindows partitions getting whiped and their machines whork? Suddenly? I can't whait!
