Also, it's worth pointing out that we don't actually know that the FBI did get Farook's phone decrypted. Odds are they never cared about that anyway, but only about setting the precedent by requiring Apple to help them, then when they saw the ruling was likely to go against them decided back down.
Frankly I'm a little worried that they did find something on the phone. In a few days they may go: "See, we did find something, but because Apple resisted us the bad guys got away!"
No, the argument is that a downloaded file isn't necessarily a lost sale. That argument came about not as a justification of piracy, but rather it shoots down the claims the RIAA made that billions of songs were being pirated a month so they should be getting new laws passed. Fun fact: During that period while all those crazy numbers of downloads were happening, their profit levels were higher, not lower.
Since all that 'piracy' happened, iTunes, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and a bunch of other media services have come along and become successul. Obviously not that many people were actually advocating not-paying-for-stuff.
The "religion of peace" you're criticizing has 3 million followers in the United States. The people who argue with you know more about math than you do.
It has been a long time since I have fallen for a Goatse Troll, congrats! Sadly it looks like the site has been taken down. I wonder how many hits that page got, that's a very large opening to fill!
Not Microsoft's fault for developing an AI that accidentally imitated racist humans and ended up racist. In fact, this whole PC shit needs to end. You can't even tell the truth anymore if it offends anyone. Like the Harvard professor who mentioned true facts about women in mathematics and sciences. If the facts don't correspond to the feminist PC narrative, they must be suppressed.
Science is no longer about finding the truth, bit rather about just trying to justify whatever the fashionable progressive narrative is (equality, global warming, anti-war, anti-gun, CEOs and corporations are evil, and so on)
This is the sort of irrational behavior that makes me want to support Trump. How can I be in agreement with such irrationality? If it were just the occasional whack job it could be dismissed, but the abundance of unbridled crazy in Trump's naysayers makes me think that Trump must be on the right track.
So you're saying that you want to get back at these people by tanking the country. Brilliant.
Heh. I was at Best Buy a few days ago and they had this bigTV advertising how awesome it is because it's OLED. It was so awesome that when the demo changed to some moving footage the ghost of the "OLED IS AWESOME!" text was still there.
Basically they demonstrated not only that those screens burn in but that they do it pretty fast, too! Glad I didn't order this TV through Amazon.
Too bad the software that would take advantage of this has been shifting away from the benefits that the Quadro brand typically offers and towards more game-engine like approaches that make gaming cards more cost-effective.
Apple did get raised wages and and improved working conditions for the workers in China. But since the principle was "we hate Apple" as opposed to "protect the workers", only Apple felt pressure and only the workers on Apple products got improvements. A year or two after everybody stopped grumbling about Apple they were busted exploiting workers again.
If you actually do care about those workers then their exploitation should be the issue regardless of Apple's involvement.

The "bad guys" being other members of ISIS.

iPhone 8 will require fingerprint, retina scan, 57 digit passcode, DNA sample, and Tim Cook's voice passcode for access.
Slashdotters will make fun of it for about a year until the next Galaxy phone has a carbon-copy of the feature.
That's easy to crack if you speak ancient Decepticon.
I'm not giving the Valet my smartphone.

Neither math nor the number of Muslims living in the US has anything to do with this.
Wanna bet?

If Samsung releases another phone where 20+ physical features are duplicated from an iPhone, then history will ineeded repeat itself.
It was the Terminator that learned the value of human life.

Oh, hey! Microsoft's Slashbot is still running!
Actually it was 320 by 200, and "DOS Screens" were actually in text-mode that was measured in characters and not pixels.
Why, exactly, is that a good thing? Please go into detail.
Another term to describe Slashdot is 'discussion forum', doofus.

Ah yes, I remember attempting to set up wifi on both RedHat and OSX (BSD based...)... both were over-zealous in supporting air-gap-based security
That depends, does Linux and BSD finally support USB drives?

I understand that you like to pretend there's no difference but brands with thin margins actually depend on cheap labor to be competitive...
If you're going to complain about 'slave labor' then 'profit margins' is not a rebuttal you can credibly make.
Do you mean he should play the single-player campaign?
How is it that tiny little war torn Israel always seems to have the latest in technology that we can't seem to get here in America?
Heh. Basically you just asked why you're ignorant.

It's nearly 36 Mr. Fusions.
