They said they were just pointing out security flaws but It was just an excuse for getting notoriety and getting their jollies at the same time. We know security sucks, we know a LOT of things suck in this world. We don't need to have it pointed out.
I have a doubt security can really ward of a near infinite number of determined hackers anyway. Its little more than protection against folks that have better stuff to do.
The one good thing for me, was listening to the reports at least provided a welcome relief from the mind numbing boring rehash about what some world leader or political party is doing. After the hearing about the same dead horse over and over on PBS I had to turn it off, lest I die of over exposure to politics.
I thought it was pretty cool to turn down that 10k, but they could have just said send it to some charity.
If they did some easy to understand common sense metric it might reveal how much the battery life sucks.
Sounds to me like they ALL are trying to hide something.
How typical to treat a limited resource as an unlimited one. I can just see me installing lighting security by Microsoft...
! "To turn off bulb, hit the On switch."... Click!
Error! "You must turn the bulb on before you can turn it off!" Wth?... Click.
Error! "You must turn the bulb off before you can turn it on!" Wth?... Click!
Computer powers down. Argh!!! They hooked the computer to turn on the system TO the system! Argh!
Yep, the difference is noticeable, but not in your face difference and in the end, the visual difference is just not worth the excessive price of blue ray disks, nor is it even memorable.
I just did a search and JC Penny are right there on the first page in the right hand column. Probably because they are local here but its still funny. Most of the sites I see taking JC Penny's place are sites I never heard of so I guess that shows the statement about what one might expect to see when typing in search terms, is just a made up guess or untested literary license.
Apple has been pissing off customers and potential customers (Me) for too damn long with an expensive phone with ONE carrier. The time they spent forcing people into a mold, one carrier to rule them all demonstrated to me that customer satisfaction is the LAST thing on Apple's mind. Seems its been years that the customers have been begging and screaming for alternative carriers to a deaf ear that leaks little hints that a new carrier was coming. I won't believe it till I SEE it.
The apple store, is hell for an iPhone developer who might need to do custom programs for small groups. Oh the guidelines on program design are fine, but there is ABSOLUTELY no place for the situation where someone needs me to develop an iPhone app for just their company where the company might not want the app available on the apple store. Lots and LOTS of work was lost to me because of that. Oh there's workarounds like buying the $299 Enterprise developer deal, where those small groups can run your app as a beta tester - How droll!! Now that similar restrictions are being considered for the next OS X code named Lion, I am even more loathe to trust or believe.
Oh don't get me wrong. I love the Mac, I love the quiet of the Mac compared to my PC that sounds like a JET ENGINE tethered to the desk. After getting spoiled by the Mac, I hardly turn on my PC because the fan noise just jangles my nerves. I think the iPhone looks SLICK! I just feel like purchasing an iPhone is putting myself up for disappointment and frustration and putting myself under the yoke of the deaf ear of Apple is just a bit premature.
Maybe in a year IF users of the iPhone are happy, then maybe, but not now.
Totally agree, they get hacked and suddenly sites I did not think had anything to do with gawker media or the sites mentioned in the article, are demanding that I change my passwords. I chose my passwords because they meant something to me I could remember so I would not have to consult the password TOME I would require so I an log into some stupid site I forgot the password for.
Many dozens of times I find I am not able to log into sites because of so called incorrect log in info, and I go consult the stupid database only to find that my info is correct, and they are wrong.
In view of this, I think gawker media has been hacked probably a number of times, but this is either the first time they noticed, or the first time someone said something about it so the public finds out.
I'm so pissed at all this that I almost wish I had a gawker account so I could ask for it to be deleted!
Honey, be sure not to say anything about the little bomby womby!
Maybe TSA should start to get a grip on reasonableness instead of a grope on some poor child.
One cannot eliminate all risk. I might get run over by some mad lunatic too, but that doesn't mean the police should pat down everyone before they get into a car. There is a line called ridiculousness which needs to be acknowledged.
Teach a kid not to talk to strangers, and then expect them to not be frightened when some stranger pats them down.
Or you have to explain to the kid that this is happening because the world is full of evil and not the bright, wonderful adventurous place they think it is and darken their world?
There's got to be a better way!
Run the IE6 apps in a virtual box.
Safari has a developer agent for IE6. I doubt if it would work but hey its worth a try.
I can't imagine an app that can't be reprogrammed or reverse engineered to do what they need.
Best personal information manager I've ever seen bar none. Costs $99 but its worth every penny. Easy to use, intuitive interface, that you can organize the information the way YOU want to not the way the program says you have to.
Have you ever ran into Captcha that claims your response is wrong when its obvious that is is NOT wrong and tried the audio stuff?
The audio version is so retarded its disgusting. It usually features two guys with grossly distorted voices uttering what sounds like 14 words of gibberish in some short conversation at the breakneck speed of an auctioneer or bugs bunny on Helium. Not a single word can be understood, and then it asks for the two words in the sentences.
The worst I had ever seen of this kind of foolishness was Dev Shack. It sounds like a great site for programming resources but I can never join because I can't get past their defective Captcha. I can't even tell them its broken because the Captcha prevents any such messages from getting through. This is what I call "Craptcha" and this is no Fraudian slop.
I used to run into a few like this, but not lately, but when I do, I still get that sick sinking feeling.
"I just called you on a lie"...
No, you also attributed to me all kinds of traits like "Begging for Sympathy", out of the air. So you omit this fact, and now YOU are guilty of a lie of omission.
Lets see, if the smoke was the size of a basket ball or even the tiny size of a marble, "Smoke still poured out and it would be the truth. Just because I don't state things in exacting detail to suit your ridiculous and bizarre needs does not make me a liar. I can omit the details because I don't state them because 99% of humanity uses their brain instead of their asses to communicate.
So guess who is lying now when you say "I just called someone on a lie." You sound like either a nut or someone who is in the business of blasting people out of their chairs at night with a commercial. Oh btw, learn the art of simile and hyperbole. Your ignorance is not my problem.
Here you have spent so many messages about a "Lie" as you claim about a speaker and loud commercials, and you imagine doing this to get points?
If my worst problem were people who embellish things I would live happily ever after.
What happens when a *real* problem comes along?
Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Like I said, I didn't think I had to state the exact size, of things and that I had to mince my words and descriptions to fit your needs created by your knee jerk reactions to something that yes, I admit could be taken to extremes by such as you (You note that nobody else but you is doing this) but I don't consider that enough reason to process my words so as not to offend your eggshell psyche.
If you are going to be any kind of successful troll I suggest you learn some self control and stop being such a word puppet.
I am finished explaining myself to a nutcase like you. Stay away from me I don't want to catch your disease.

My version of FireFox wrapped around to -1 and the benchmark speed, and features make it indistinguishable from Vista! We've just wrapped our bloat.

It won't be long before it might be worth it to go to Titan to fill up.
I wonder if they could be trained to be wine slobs too. Then they could compare the two and find out if slobs or snobs are healthier.

LoL at the subject.
The lawyer joke about what do you call a bus load of lawyers drowned in the sea? Well I would say I would prefer it be a bus load of internet trolls.

Lawl!! I love it! that's great!
I even took screen shots. On second thought I could do a whois on the url and email their listed email address.

Are Cylons humor impaired? I think I met a few here and there.
