4xx doesn't always mean the client screwed up, 403:Forbidden is usually a permissions problem. Yes it could mean the client didn't send the correct credentials, but it can also mean that you genuinly don't have access to that resource.
403 is an improper reply for a permissions problem. 403 is for resources that are there, but won't be given to anyone, no matter what their credentials are. 401 is for permissions problems, which the client can fix by providing the proper credentials. (Obviously if a site doesn't want to tell unauthorised people which resources are available or not, they will report 401 until proper credentials are given, and only then report 404 or 403 or whatever).
At the risk of turning this into a macbook battery forum I'm a 13" retina owner. I love the thing, except for the lack of a2dp in the bluetooth adapter (but that's another story), anyway I've been in the habit of running the book on battery until I get to ~10% cap, then plugging it in until fully charged, and repeating the cycle. Am I doing The Right Thing?
Plug your MacBook into a charger if you have a charger and power nearby. And obviously don't plug it into a charger if you don't have any power nearby.
Your MacBook battery can run X hours. Every hour that you are running on battery when you could have plugged in a charger is wasting one of your X hours. So if you go to your desk, remove the charger, use the MacBook - at your desk - until the battery is near empty, plug in the charger, that's about the most stupid thing you could do.
PROTIP: Remove your laptop battery if you are running from the mains most of the time and keep it in a cool drawer somewhere.
MacTip: DON'T. Your Mac automatically scales back its clock speed to 1 GHz tops. Brownouts can crash your computer immediately because there is no battery to supply power. Magsafe connectors and no battery are an obvious bad combination. And you'll get dust into your computer.
Apple get the same batteries from the same places everyone else does. They're as fungible as AAs at this point.
Sure. That same place sells cheap batteries, more expensive batteries, and even more expensive batteries. Guess what batteries Apple buys.
One reason why Apple's laptop batteries are non-removable is because that allows them to pack the cells more tightly together and fit any empty space in the MacBook, that's how they fit more capacity in tighter space. So the batteries that Apple uses are definitely not the same that you get elsewhere.
How can an NDA cover "work methods" and "work conditions"? Are you seriously that stupid?
An NDA can cover anything. If you hire me to organise your kid's birthday party, you can ask me sign an NDA so I don't tell anyone about it, and if I sign, I'm bound by the NDA.
Often NDAs cover trade secrets. In that case breach of the NDA might be criminal, not just a breach of contract. Work methods could be trade secrets, work conditions probably are not, and your kid's birthday party isn't a trade secret.
Samsux is going too far imitating Apple. Get a grip.
Excuse me, but how is Samsung imitating Apple here? Apple has audits everywhere checking working conditions at the factories of their contractors and subcontractors, and fixes problems when they are found. This here is Samsung's own factory.
Just look at how iTunes has spun out of control since his death. The versions released since then are disasters, with common tasks now obscured or seemingly not available anymore.
Forstall is gone now. He was responsible for iTunes 11.0.0, which was rubbish. Since then four minor releases have appeared, and each was a definite improvement.
CEO's get paid obscene amounts of money. It's reasonable to expect them to justify such a lavish outlay by telling the public how "unique," "indispensable," and "valuable they are.
News at 11.
Jobs got one dollar per year. He said "50 cent for showing up, and 50 cent for doing a good job".
How can you have a working relationship with your employer, when in your free time you are actively working against them. You can't. Sacking is the right thing to do. As she works in the communications department and seems to be from a legal background she should have known what she was getting in for, there are no excuses.
Criticising your employer doesn't mean you are working against them. If your company does something that is wrong, then stopping them from doing what's wrong is actually good for them. Obviously your boss might not see it that way.
Yeah, you can create your own S/Mime certs but if you use your own self created one the application on the receiving end puts up a "scary" message about it being self signed or something like that.
Of course it does. I can create a self signed certificate for cronocloudauron&gmail.com in one minute and send signed messages pretending to be you. And if anyone sends you an encrypted email, I'm the only one who can read it:-)
mean while, you can run Windows 8 on any Pentium 4.
Meanwhile, if I write software targetted at MacOS X 10.7 or later, I can safely rely on the user having a 64 bit processor. No 32 bit versions needed anymore.
WebM is caught up in the patent fights right now. Safari isn't going to support either WebM or WebP, because WebM is a chief competitor to h264, and Apple own key patents on h264
The real problem is that there is no WebM implementation available under a license that is anywhere near acceptable to Apple. That's similar to the problem with gcc, where gcc 4.2 is the last version with a license that is acceptable to Apple.
I can see how an employee could be sacked if his public FB page showed that he lied to this boss about being injured or sick. But an employer demanding access to private pages is very intrusive, that's what you might expect for extraordinary situations such as when the employee has been accused of a felony. Seems that Air NZ needs to tighten up their protocol for granting sick leave, rather than relying on these heavy handed ad hoc methods.
It's a civil case. In a civil case, each side can be asked to produce evidence that the other side believes speaks against them. They can then supply the evidence, refuse to supply the evidence in which case the court can and will assume that it was against them, or lie to the court which is a crime.
In civilized society, the burden of proof for any legal action falls on the accuser, not the accused.
In criminal cases. In civil cases, there is a dispute, not necessarily an accuser and an accused. Like in this case, is the woman accused of faking sickness? Or is she accusing the company for firing her without good reason? If we took your attitude, everyone would act quickly to become the accused, and not the accuser.
As far as Apple is involved, you can't use Groklaw as an objective source anymore. Let's face it, anyone repeating the "rounded rectangle" idiocy is not objective.
Do YOU think it's fair to patent gestures, shiny icons, and rectangles? We can go down this rabbit hole all day.
People are getting stupider and stupider by the day. Claiming that someone patented rounded rectangles is stupid, but claiming that someone patented rectangles is stupider.
Samsung has a _design patent_ on the design of their phones which includes, among other things, rounded rectangles as part of the design. To infringe on the design patent, it's not enough to use the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners, you have to copy _all_ the details of the design patent. That's why Samsung doesn't sue Apple for infringing on their design patent.
If you are confused how I used the names Samsung and Apple: Yes, Apple isn't the only company with a design patent for a phone that includes rounded corners. Samsung has design patents for their Galaxy phones as well, including - guess what - rounded corners.
Every recipient has his or her own private/public key pair. You send an encrypted message to one (or more recipients), and they will be able to read it, nobody else.
The easiest way to get someone's public key is to convince them to send you a signed message. That is, if your email software can handle it. A signed message contains the sender's public key, and hopefully your email software allows you to stash that key away (automatically) and from then on send encrypted messages to that person.
Chances are that they have private/public key pairs that use a company root certificate, so you wouldn't be able to verify that certificate, which might throw a spanner in the works.
Who in their right mind pays the same amount of money for an e-book that they do for a paperback? The rich, and the stupid. Most others know they are being ripped-off.
The rich, the stupid, and those who have boxes and boxes full of books that just take up expensive space. If I buy an ebook, I buy it, I read it, and I keep it. If I buy a paper book today, I buy it, I read it, and it goes to the charity shop.
$600,000 is basically a sentence to a life of slavery isn't it? I don't know how much he could reasonably expect to pay back in a year; presumably even less than otherwise given a criminal record. $5K? $10K?
Not slavery. He is free to move, free to work where he wants, and so on. On the positive side, no woman will marry him for his money. On the negative side... If some woman wants to marry him, she'll better get good advice how to keep their finances separate.
So, after all the rest of this stuff is over with, how does
anyone seriously expect him to pay this? Or is this just another
one of those "utterly destroy his life to make an example out
of him" scenarios?
If he caused $600,000 worth of damage, didn't he destroy his life himself?
Yes. Chromebooks is the device you want your 5 years old spending time on watching youtube. I don't know about you, when my kids turn 5, I want them to start writing programs and learn how computer operates. Chromebooks won't be my choice.
That's excellent; although maybe a bit early.
That said, the market for computers aimed at people who want their young children to learn how to write programs isn't very big.
With Ohio's recently-enacted law, it is specifically not permissible for an officer to peer into a vehicle just to ascertain whether or not a person is texting.
I suppose if anyone is watching such a situation, _they_ should have a look into the car and tell the officer if the person is texting.
You assume that the attackers would be basement hackers. Not a good assumption. There have been plenty of government assassinations in even recent history. Do you think Russia or China would be above killing, say, a US senator who keeps voting against their interests?
That's supposed to be insightful? So you are saying that the most important thing for the manufacturers of pacemakers is to prevent one of the thousand possible ways to kill a US senator?
