  1. Re:The old-fashioned way VERY effective on One Single Malicious Vehicle Can Block 'Smart' Street Intersections In the US (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    The trick that needs to be used is to assess the actual cost of the investigation onto the Insurance company that often is the interested party requiring the investigation. Calculate the cost in the slow-down of 5000 people trying to get to work. Assess that as an additional expense to the interested parties insisting on disrupting traffic for the investigation.

    I can create my 'playlist' on a notepad beside my chair on the table. unless they make it hard to search for the names I write down, they can't really take much away.

    There will soon be the need for a great number of garment inspectors, to authenticate actual 'sanded' worn denim from the laser-worn variety.
    Because the artisanal hand-worn denim will be far more in demand due to their authenticity.

    There are already people who can 'grade' old jeans, who look at thread, rivets, the label and the cut to determine a pair of jeans is authentically vintage.

    And there is an easy setting in the phone's configuration to allow it to download apps instead from Amazon's app store. Or other third party app stores if you want.

    I don't know where these people carrying on about Apple laptops come from. Not the business world. Maybe they're the marketing guys with the tasselated shoes.

    Even further lock-in than just the OS itself. A development suite that encourages you to produce source code that will ONLY run on Apple products.

    True. For common use-cases for coffee shops, i.e. as props and chick magnets.

    Nope. They can own that brand. The competitor shouldn't be allowed to use that brand. Are these direct counterfeits we are talking about?

    Any idiot should know that the knock-off product is the choice to make, unless there is some reason the branded one is better.

    Apple did that, then they expanded it out into the GUI that they didn't design, and then sued all of Microsoft's competitors in the x86 GUI market out of Microsoft's way, assuring that only the 500 pound gorilla (Windows) and Apple with a boutique product would exist. Yes, Apple insured that only a huge company could prevail against their Look-n-feel lawsuits, so we are now stuck with just Windows now.

    Apple has always encouraged the idea that their product line is an 'insurgency.' All the rest of the computer users are out to get you because you use a Mac. You're superior because you're such a renegade.

    A total crock of shit. If you had been around the assholes who were Mac users in the 1990s you'd know what I mean.
