No, we have hated Apple since Steve Jobs announced (gleefully) that the Macintosh was a hacker proof computer. He meant in the old sense of 'hacker' that we nerds can appreciate. The Apple ][ was open, it was easy to do a lot of your own cool things with using hardware.
The Macintosh was designed to not allow us to do cool things with it. Unless you do it within the boundaries that Apple defines, you're screwed. And those boundaries were really fucking tight for the first decade of the Mac. It's nearly as tight today.
I only log onto Facebook from the Edge browser on my Windows 10 desktop. I figure it is highly quarantined by only accessing it that way. I haven't logged on since before New Years, actually.
I made $40,000 by buying a house and selling it two years later for $40K more than I paid for it. I got to live in it for the two years. Try living in a cryptocurrency.
Instead of recycling old computers, I would pile them up around places where 'journalists' congregate, rendering it impossible for said 'journalists' to get outside their 'centers of journalism' until after the vote, which would occur on paper, has been counted.
Anybody curious enough to know how the election has gone can sit in seats at large auditoriums where the election officials count the paper ballots in public view.
The ballots are agregated from these counting centers at regional centers, and from there to national centers.
If the journalists who are blocked into the 'centers of journalism' starve to death while the vote count is going on, it's a win-win situation for anybody who matters.
Also if you buy a car from a private party, you have to declare what you paid for it when you're transferring the registry. They then assess the sales tax on the amount of your purchase.
That's one of the reasons why family members 'sell' their used cars to one another for very low prices.
Your first comment seemed more reasonable, then in your second comment you had to fat-shame the dude. Now in your third you've used a few comments by the New Statesman and the Guardian as ratchets to hurl him into purgatory.
I think you would find that opinion at journals like NS and the Guardian are more mixed than you are asserting.
The guy wasn't nice to Hillary. So a whole bank of the partisan political are now bound to side against him. It feels good after decades of the political left-center being accused of being 'commies' by the right to have something 'patriotic' to rally around.
And here you are centering your whole argument around the trumped up rape charges. Your transition from reasonable commentator to attack agent are clear.
There is a big difference. Before the shakedown, Microsoft was pointedly not involved in politics. Apple has long been deeply involved in the affairs in Washington.
When you are baking and cooking, why the hell does your phone have to be 'locked' in the first place??? Do you bake on a demo stand in a shopping mall or something?
Just turn off the screen lock and relax in your kitchen, dude. You'll be safe, your housecat won't try to sneak on your phone and give it cooties.
Bullshit. When the Web was invented, the plan was for everybody to have a workstation (it started on Next workstations) that had an httpd running on it. You would put your 'blog' in a folder on your system shared to the world. People would link together.
There is even still a web browser, Seamonkey, that has the old symmetrical design. It has a 'Composer' component like browsers of the past, so you can WYSIWYG together a web page to share to the world.
"It doesn't matter if the fuel tank in that Ford Pinto is so thin and right in front of the rear bumper."
You misunderstand the problem with the Ford Pinto. It wasn't that the fuel tank metal was thin. It had a cap that was easily popped off during a collision, causing the fuel to slosh forward into the passenger compartment.
You don't want to be doused with gasoline when you get in a collision.
It would have been fairly inexpensive to fix the Pinto problem, not a big expensive thing like total replacement of the fuel tank with one of a heavier gauge metal.
I want it to auto-detect when people post from un-bugfixed iOS devices. It can 'fix' the punctuation bug for them, but then automatically plop a little tagline on the bottom of the comment reading:
That is something really worth championing, but it's also a dragon den of proprietary technology. The FPGA vendors are cut-throat competitive about this stuff. The tool-sets to program FPGAs are always behind restrictive walls. I have a tool-chain I downloaded and a Mojo board to go with the new O'Reilly Learning FPGAbook I bought, but so far I've been standoffish about getting into it, because it's one of those 'keyed software' things.
I have never been keen to install software on my machine that requires me to 'phone home' to unlock it. What if I grow dependent on it and they decide I haven't kissed the proper ring?
When the 21st century includes line noise from Apple users who misconfigure their keyboard settings, I'll stick to ASCII. You KNOW what ASCII is, right?
The 'dipshit' part on the end indicates your anger. So fuck off. When something angers you the world is right.

Maybe Tim is even a Woody Allen kind of guy. Who knows? He can afford a lot more lawyers than Woody Allen can.
Is all of ASCII really needed? My ASR-33 teletype does a fine job with just the seven bit character set. It doesn't even have lower case.
That sounds like a "My IBM" comment from 1987.
Does Apple REALLY still need a well-formed psuedo-opponent to pose themselves against?
Humans are the top of the food chain. Those carp in Lake Eerie? They are likely FAR more safe to eat than an adult human. We are loaded with toxins.

You're not giving your forth child a forth machine/a??
How did you get malware on a Windows 10 machine if you only run 'Open Save Print'??

How about a simple 'head' tax? Count the heads, each head pays the same amount. People who can't pay go into debt.
Also if you buy a car from a private party, you have to declare what you paid for it when you're transferring the registry. They then assess the sales tax on the amount of your purchase.

It is probably time to excise the 'currency' part of the name for this stuff. Then it's Beanie Babies all the way down, though.
Let's do it, and discover what the net worth of all the millineal twits amount to.

It simply rocks. Nothing else comes close.

Except there is this funny thing called hundreds of vacant square miles between all the Metropolitan Areas with high populations.
So I suppose each big city could have it's 'mesh' and there could be some 'bridges' between each mesh. I'd call that an ISP.

It's almost like the old days when you could tell somebody on the internet was an AOL user.
Adaptive entropy is fun! This is pure nerd stuff and will become a regular sport, we can hope.
