Accurate demo of just how frustrating it will be to use this stupid feature.
They obviously started with the idea of removing the home button, and worked backwards from there. Let's see: no home button means no fingerprint scanning... couldn't go back to passcode-only because they already told everyone how bad that is... iris scanning didn't pan out for whatever reason... so... facial recognition it is. Oh yeah, and swipe up to go home, because it hadn't dawned on anyone to try that before and turns out it's the best approach.
At this point, I'd say he's proven himself to be a credible source. Confirming something that was already believed to be true doesn't change that, or make it any less true.
I can't believe how many people fall for this sort of thing. The parent is quite obviously a troll - he switches from being a hiring manager at some point in the past ('used to be a hiring manager..') to currently working for a company that discriminates against ex-military applicants ('we actively discriminate..').
Additionally, just reading the first paragraph, it's quite obvious the poster re-worded things quite a bit -- too many extra words.
All that, plus he's posting a very controversial opinion as an AC.. yep- troll. Nice try, though.
If Microsoft made Sharepoint for an OS other than Windows, maybe there wouldn't be as many anti-Windows comments. Fact is, the people putting down Sharepoint have probably never used it, because they don't use Windows.
I use Office on my Mac, and it works well. In fact, I think it's a great software package. I think Access/Sharepoint/Visio/Project/etc are all trash, because they only run on one OS.
Neat, only $3,000 for the server + 5 client licenses. For their entire team/division/company, it would probably cost tens of thousands of dollars. Should be an easy sell - great advice!
I don't know what all the fuss is about. Throughout the life of a console, you will spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours playing, and for the most part, you'll be happily entertatined. Just to run some numbers (and these may be high for some and really low for others), let's say you play for 30 minutes per day, every day, for three years. That's around 545 hours, or just over 3 weeks.
Name some other source of comparable entertainment (non-console) that costs less than that. Drugs? Hookers? Gambling? Booze? No, hell no, no, and no. As far as I'm concerned, $600 is nothing for the amount of entertainment I'm buying - I think the other companies are stupid for not charging more.
Plus, truth be told, the people who are complaining the loudest aren't the people the console companies really care about - if you can't dig up $600 for a console, then you're certainly not going to be opening your wallet to buy new controllers, new games, etc.
You can complain all you like about being poor or whatever sob story it is this week - face it: you own a computer, and you obviously know enough about it to post comments on Slashdot. You're not doing too bad - save the complaining for the kids at the orphanage (and even then, pretty soon they'll have more PS2s than they could ever possibly use).
So how are your client's competitors finding out the SpamCop email addresses? Sounds like there's _some_ way of doing it - you might want to look into that before they put you out of business.. (as opposed to complaining on Slashdot about bad guys making your job "harder")
Well, I agree that the argument is similar, but it's not quite the same. Using a tape recorder to record music coming out of your stereo will not produce a very good recording. Audiophile or not - it's not going to sound good.
Books, on the other hand, only suffer like that when illustrations are copied. The text can be photographed, handwritten, etc - doesn't matter. The quality of the actual content won't suffer just because it's harder to read.
I've been completely paperless for a couple years, and haven't looked back. In fact, I read so much on my laptop that it feels weird when I have to read a printed book for whatever reason (it probably wouldn't be hard to re-adjust; I just have no desire to do so).
Ebook publishers should have their heads examined for going to such great lengths to inconvenience potential customers like this.. with books, the "analog hole" is a very easy and viable workaround for just about any form of DRM they can dream up. I know the article says they are backing off a bit.. but even so - it's pure lunacy.
Personally, I won't pay a dime for an ebook in any format other than PDF (or an alternative that I can view/print/copy in Linux). If they insist on using a format that can only be viewed in Windows, I'll hang on to my money and snag a "cracked" version online (even if that means downloading a jpeg image of each page; I have a couple books like that!).
Bottom line: the people who don't want to pay will find a way not to. The people who do pay will start thinking twice before their next purchase, since they're basically paying to be inconvenienced.
It doesn't matter.. you'll just find some other obscure justification for pirating the movie. Let me ask you this- do you purchase the so-called low quality movie, and then download a better quality "backup" copy? Or is the movie industry just S.O.L. because they didn't bring their A-game with the original DVD distribution?
I would recommend deploying an LDAP-enabled directory server as the foundation for everything else. Almost every other service can leverage the directory for pulling various information about each user. You can really help yourself down the road by making your directory server _the_ single authoritative source of email-related customer information.
I usually hop on one of the bankofamerica.com.geocities.com mirrors, but they also seem to be down right now (or somebody forgot to pay their hosting bill). When this has happened in the past, I usually just open my windows and start shouting my SSN and major credit card numbers until somebody steals my identity.
ahh, another classic case of "look, this guy initially misinterpreted the article summary and posted a harmless one-liner showcasing his misinterpretation, and then after someone replied (having obviously read the article) with a jokingly negative comment on said misinterpretation, the original poster tried to slide in the 'last word' (also jokingly negative) a couple days later."
If I've seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times.. that's why I have email notification turned on for comment replies! And I'm just crazy enough to come back and reply a week later!
So that would be "check", and "mate". Game, set, match. Just think, all this because Blizzard decided to sue some poor kid..
Slashdot Mirror
For the record, even his Linkedin resume is copied from a job template website. I've seen enough now, both from the thread and my own searches.
Of course -t's an onl-ne pet-t-on! Damnnnnnnnnnnn yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyo- A--le!!!!!!!! ^H^H^H^H;oAJsdp'ashjfdlks;vn

Ahh, links added, title changed, and editor's note added to justify mentioning MacBook Pro.
The title claims better performance than a MacBook Pro, but the summary references a MacBook Air. There's also no link to the actual article?
If I'm encrypting my data with my own keys, how exactly, other than brute force, is the NSA going to get access to the data?
By classifying you as a terrorist and using torture to extract whatever information they need to decrypt the data.
Our elected officials have failed us.
All I can say is.. it's about time!

If another country treated an American citizen like this, it would be regarded as a hostage crisis.

You should invest in a better laptop.

Hmm, I hadn't considered that.. nice point. Not 100% sure what they mean with that statement.

Try reading the entire article summary next time. It mentions that they are trying to compete with $0.75 pirated copies.

Actually, it's a case of "look, this guy didn't even read the first sentence of the article summary!".
That's you. That's what you sound like..
