If your car is 25 years old and you're worried the wheels are going to fall off, would you just hand it over to the scrapyard without buying a new car (or newer car) first?
No, but I also don't commission Ford to spend years to build build me a fleet of cars that cost hundreds of grands each to last me for thirty years while I'm already managing oodles of under-funded car trips.
I can't believe this is the second time I've heard this stupid car analogy in this context.
Lots of people here spent the last 5 years bitching about how the shuttle was old and needed to be retired, now it's happened and everybody's making gloomy predictions about how we'll never leave the atmosphere again.
... but gay as an insult is alive and well at least nationally in the US...
Right, some people are stuck in the past. The reality is that, despite the existence of shitheads, homosexuality is accepted in this society. You can argue about that if you like, but at the end of the day, somebody calling you gay will not result in having a duel at dawn anymore.
Yes, looking at the picture I wouldn't exactly say it survived.
He can sync it with iTunes, get a new phone, and after a fresh sync be right back where he was just before he dropped it. If the phone hadn't 'survived' he'd likely be out several pictures etc.
But sure, argue both sides. Have as many kids as you want. I couldn't guess their odds of living to 70, but I am willing to bet that this is that "magic" generation, and they will see suffering and mass death unprecedented in all of human history.
Oh, and then I loaded about 80 free applications on it, and how many free apps are available through iTunes, oh, that's right - they start at $0.99 and go up, so I saved another $79+ there, too....
We but it, she puts a copy on her iPod ( which she uses while bike riding and at the gym) through iTunes, we burn a copy of the CD and put on in the CD changer in the car and the original gets put into the CD collection. Guess what, the EVIL record companies don;t give a shit about that.
Yes they do. They think you owe them for every copy that you have. That's why in the original iTunes DRM scheme there was a limit to how many machines could have a copy of that music. They also think Taxi cab drivers owe them a licensing fee for having the radio on in their car while passengers are riding.
You should take a closer look at those poor innocent little record companies that you think have been so unfairly judged. If you actually do this, please do it in front of a web cam so we can watch the expressions on your face change while you read about what their idea of 'fair use' is.
Yesterday Slashdot's summary said the last update was to prevent jailbreaking. The article said it was to fix the PDF vulnerability. So, yes, you might expect otherwise if you weren't terribly well informed on the topic.
You have exhibited a: -lack of awareness of how the exploits you've mentioned actually work. -lack of a basic understanding of how this sort network would actually work. -lack of an understanding how how one would actually get into a network -lack of awareness of how fictional TV really is. -lack of a good rebuttal. -lack of humility because you think reading a bunch of Slashdot headlines makes you well informed.

Geez kids, get a grip! We haven't 'left space'.
Thank you.

... the department is pretty much in the Stone Age as far as IT is concerned...
They said the same thing just before the toasters arrived.
Agreed.
So... does this mean they're reducing their R&D efforts? Either way, that's the end of an era.
The real question is if this is something we can transplant.
Fuck functionality, fuck price, fuck everything else but apple. What's so hard to understand here>?
Dell comes with Windows.

Actually, it still is.
Actually, no it is not.
You're so far outside what could be considered "normal society" that you really aren't one to talk about what is or isn't an insult in any century.
The remote South is not considered 'normal society' either.
i'm all gay and stuff. but not gay enough to use apple.
We're well into the 21st century now, gay isn't an insult anymore.
Tell it to the tens of millions of Wii owners instead.
When's that gonna be, when they stop airing Star Trek marathons?
He's able to play back music but not video. So... yes!
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
That sounds great until a dude takes over the world with a pointy stick.
Yeah, if only we could hear about the new domains that Google just purchased instead.

This only ends one way, and any fool can see it.

you CAN get drm free mp3s from itunes now. has that actually decreased any piracy? nope.
Unless zero Mp3s have been sold, how can you actually state that? Are masses of people buying MP3s then 'pirating' them?
Yes, but so will their profits...
Which, by the way, has not been proven. They think their paying customers are thieves just waiting for the opportunity.
Did you expect otherwise?

I'm pretty sure I was using instant messaging programs well before 2005. I remember having used them since I discovered computers in the late 80s.
You're responding to the click-bait headline, not the patent.
Token bullshit so fanbois like you can keep on repeating it.
Hahah. I have this image in my head of Steve Jobs ordering a new division of developers to write OSS tools in order to stir up fanboyism on Slashdot.
