  1. Re:If hell is not raised on Apple Launches 'Touch Disease' Repair Program For iPhone 6 Plus (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a class action suit, so there are iPhone customers who are raising hell and awareness.

    There are always lickspittle Apple fans, though. I wouldn't say they are clueless. Just infected by a religion.

    Steve Jobs spent years studying under a guru and was an expert on cult-like religions.

    In normal usage, where the weak case design allows the circuit board to flex, all 6+ phones should eventually fail.

    If you keep your iPhone 6+ in a glass display case or in your office safe, it should not fail.

    But no guarantee.

    Further, what's the difference between an IoT device and a $2 8-bit embedded controller that I can push some form of an IP Stack onto? Will it be illegal to plug said controller onto a network? Which network will be illegal?

    That's great. Use the Mainsoft product, and porting VS code to the Mac only takes 6 months, instead of the usual 18 months. That's far better than a cross-platform tool with compiler switches, etc.

    Back in the days of the NES and SNES, you had to buy ludicrously expensive special hardware from Nintendo to program games for the Nintendo platform.

    That's just the javashit loading.

    If you choose correctly, and run a browser with a Stop button, you can cut it off before it throws an error while you're trying to read the page. Seamonkey (still) has a stop button to cut off badly coded javashit (but now I am being redundant) that runs away.

  10. The Mac isn't a "Rival Platform" for Microsoft on Microsoft Announces Visual Studio For Mac (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The Macintosh is not a 'rival platform' to Windows, except in the fervid eyes of the Macintosh advocates.

    Microsoft produced Excel and Word for the Mac before there was even a Windows to create Office to run on. In the early days Microsoft obtained a LOT of revenue from the Mac, some even say Microsoft earned more profit for each Mac sold into a business office back then than Apple did.

    Nobody really cares about the Mac OS except for Apple enthusiasts. It's not seen as a 'rival' by Microsoft. It's a little niche that they sell into and make money from.

    The Constitution doesn't place distinctions on forms of speech. To do so would be un-free, and against the entire spirit of what free speech is about.

    People need to be free to be total assholes so long as they are not physically harming others. How else are we to identify total assholes so we can take personal moves to avoid them?

    Don't tell us what isn't in the Constitution. The whole thrust of the US Constitution is that if it isn't explicitly prohibited, it is defacto permitted. If you haven't figured that out, you need to do a lot more studying before you start preaching to others about what is and is not in the Constitution.

    The constitution doesn't say I am allowed to scratch my nuts. It also doesn't say you are allowed to post on Slashdot. So, uh, fuck off, buddy. Follow your rules.

  17. Re:Ironic gamification is still gamification on In 5 Years, Games Experience Will Move From Discrete To Indiscrete, Says EA CEO (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    why should videogames influence and be informed by everything I do in my life?

    Because the system needs to give you a reward for endless 24/7 telemetry. When EA knows how many eggs are in your refrigerator they can know when to market more eggs to you. When law enforcement knows how long it took you to travel to work, they can know if you sped getting there. And those are just little tidbits of information. When the total picture is being recorded for everyone, trending analysis can be used to insure 'social harmony.'

    And we'll all be on the leaderboard.

  18. 'Music' is not just recordings. on In 5 Years, Games Experience Will Move From Discrete To Indiscrete, Says EA CEO (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I just can't get away from the fact that in the whole article/summary it seems like 'music' is seen as a consumable. Not something that we can and should all act to create.

    Listening to recordings of other people making music is a passive undertaking. In fact, oftentimes playing back recordings of music into an environment is a manipulative act to calm or alter the mood of those in that environment.

    I view the 'classic rock' that drones on and on in many workplace environments as 'slave songs.' The same rotation of songs that I heard on the radio back in the kitchen when I was a dishwasher in an Italian restaurant in 1979 is played today. It's the tunes that keep the slaves calm, singing in the cotton field. Except we don't even sing them ourselves.

    The fact that somebody is allowed (part of the time) to 'choose' which recordings of music (out of a catalog of the recordings that are made available) isn't that freeing. Only if we make music ourselves do we really participate in the act.

    And if the world is wall-to-wall carpeted with music already, there's no room for us to participate, and certainly little possibility of us singing 'off the track.'
