Back in the 90's I held said women in high esteem. One woman in particular was really good at resoldering a whole side of the PQFPs whenever I tagged one for rework.
Apple has its own complete PDF stack which is used from its display server
Not really. Didn't they just take the old NeXT Display Postscript codebase and adapt it? Calling it 'Apples stack' gives the Apple staff too much credit. They tried to write their new OS, failed, and were taken over by NeXT.
It is good to see that we've accepted that the employees in the Apple Store and those in Best Buy are about equally informed about what they're selling.
The whole world just became warmer and fuzzier. Dogs will sleep in the same pet beds with cats, etc.
Back when I was a college student and in my 'protest something or other all the time' phase of life, we went to a local TV station (Channel 11 in Minneapolis) once to protest something about their TV coverage. There were TV sets in the lobby, obviously showing the Channel 11 programming. We changed the channel on the TV set.
Shortly thereafter they sent out Mel Jazz to talk to us. That was amusing.
You may as well say 'they could put the pyromaniac in prison, but that wouldn't prevent someone else from coming along and setting a fire.' Or 'we could plug the leak in the boat, but that wouldn't prevent another leak from occurring sometime later.'
Perhaps a website should be put up that has a lot of tracking information about Julian Assange. It could include any intelligence that has been uncovered about his habits, his whereabouts, when he could be most easily sniped, etc.
"But Rico, his enemies will use the information against him!"
My Slackware 95 distribution (a bookcover CD I bought way back then) included an Objective-C development environment. I don't know if Slack includes it anymore.
For that kind of application you specify the controller as a proprietary stand alone piece of equipment. You don't allow the data janitors (IT) any access to it, just like the broom janitors don't get to futz with the x-ray machine. If it needs limited access to the network, specia provision is made. Operators who fuck with it in any way (tards are always tempted to 'tweak') are reprimanded, demoted, or fired.
The site design changes frequently, however, probably to prevent just such screenscraping. So it wouldn't be easy.
The pages always have to remain legible for Facebook users. I'd say that no matter how Facebook tries to obfuscate things, it's still a trivial task compared to even a primitive OCR program.
Sure, they've got a bunch of money now, and they're The Man and want to stay that way. Doesn't mean they will.
There are goth types in this area who drive old hearses. One of them has a giant fake spider up on the windshield ledge as a decoration. It's sort of a camp thing with these sorts.
You're correct about generic nondescript hearses, of course.
What thieves really need to do is start trashing bikes with locks so good they can't steal them.
I don't advocate bike theft or vandalism **, but if I were a bike thief and couldn't have the bike, I'd put a foot through the spokes or figure out some convenient and discreet way to damage the bike severely.
That said, most bike thieves probably aren't spiteful.
(**well, actually, I suppose I just did, but not seriously)

I've got five of those in storage. Believe me, if you value your data, that isn't the good choice.
All Chinese people have traded away their right to have a second child for the opportunity to own a SUV or a supercar.

Well, this is apple.slashdot.org so everybody has taken sides. You are either a suckup or a hater here.
Horse shit. Their ink, their paper, their website, their responsibility.
So WikiLeaks will be held accountable for anyone killed by the Taliban, I presume.

We're paying the bills, we deserve the unvarnished truth about where things stand in Asscrapistan classified or not
As a paid member of Slashdot, I guess I'm entitled to the password files here. So where's the torrent?
No, I don't really want yours.
Think he'd hold FOX accountable for all the shootings attributable to them lately? - No of course he won't.
Vicente Fox? Have they actually found a direct link? I thought it was the Drug Cartels killing everybody down there.

these people have *no* use for asm or tcp/ip, little use for C
1. Which people?
2. How do you know?
Some of us don't even consider Web Design to be programming.
The default on Facebook is: "turn any 'event' into the biggest possible chunk of spam."

Say what happened the first time Apple tried to lock down their hardware and abuse developers. I think they lost a bit of market share.
Wouldn't that have been in 1984?
Mac users, thought not often referred to as 'geeks' live in a special geek ghetto.
It's so fash there.
AAPL up 1000% over a decade. MSFT down about 25% over the same period.
Apple was a near-death joke of a company a decade ago. They had to be taken over by NeXT to have any viable 21st century software at all.
So, they've come back from penny stock status alright. They can't do that again, though.
YSOD on the front and BSOD on the back.

That's not something learned by Prius drivers.
The existence of the Prius is just an attractant that gathers that sort of driver into it's demographics.
He's lucky that Officer Lumpy of the local police doesn't prowl around his garage.
In some localities you have to register your bikes. "So, are all these bikes yours?" the officer asks, taking out his pad....
