Except for very small companies there is NEVER a personal guarantee of any debt.
Gaaaaa! No! You did so well up to that point. The size of the company has nothing to do with it. The type of incorporation has everything to do with it. A sole proprietorship, LLC/LLP and S corporations have individual liability to owners/shareholders. C-corps have boards and share holders with no individual liability.
Stockholders do not manage the company. They vote for the board of directors, which manages the rest. Only in special circumstances, like an offer to privatize the company, do the votes have any direct effect.
Then they aren't held accountable for what they told the company to do.
Should citizen voters be liable for prison time if they elect a senator who turns out to be corrupt?
Oh how wonderfully responsible a democracy would be if that were true. Many a politician would have literally been hanged if that were the case. If you look carefully at how public corporations work you will find that the publicly available shares will never amount to controlling interest in a corporation. The hostile take over days of the 1980s taught any smart company to never let more than 49.9% of their public stock to be held by any investor. You make sure that management and private equity firms own the 50.1%. Or, you buy back stock to manage that ratio. Corporations are not democracies, nor are they moral. They operate on hard numbers or they die. If it didn't make financial sense Apple wouldn't do it. That's one thing I know is their primary M.O. If there isn't revenue to support it, it doesn't happen inside Apple.
As long as the "fall back to SMS if iMessage fails" setting is on, then there's no problem even in this case. The iMessage will fail, and then Messages will resend it as a text message without any intervention needed.
Alas, the SMS fallback doesn't work properly. Group messages always fail silently, regardless of the setting.
This is easily repeatable, if you have three iPhones. Try it yourself!
1. Disable iMessage on phone C, but leave it enabled on phones A and B.
2. Send a group message from phone A to phones B and C. It will fail silently. The message will never be received by phone C.
How did you "disable" iMessage on phone C? Was wifi disabled on the device you sent from? If wifi was on it will try to keep sending to phone C via wifi until it times out. Someone in the thread earlier pointed out that it may take up to a day for the error to get thrown. Now, that may be your cell provider and not iMessage. I do have multiple iDevices so I will test your theory this weekend. I have gotten delayed messages and delayed outbound failures but those happened with my cell carrier before I had an iPhone so it would be difficult to impossible to tell where the fault may lie. Given the size and number of Apple data centers and how cheap AT&T and Verizon are on infrastructure I would blame them for technical glitches like this for SMS than Apple, in my experience.
Yes, because Apple hides these feature descriptions in out of sight places called public websites. I'm sorry if you didn't rtfm. Why is that a problem for anyone but those stupid enough to buy and use a device without reading or knowing how it works?
(and guarantees by government are usually only up to 30-50 000 dollars worth anyways)
but would I trust even the shoddy fly by night exchanges more than say the government of venezuela ? heck yea...
In the U.S. accounts are insured up to $100,000.00. Banks usually will setup new accounts for folks when their accounts reach $100,000.00 and are about to go over. So, if you have $500,000.00 in a U.S. bank it's usually spread over multiple accounts so the entire amount is insured. So, yes, I would very much rather the bank held my money than my mattress or some dubious "exchange".
It won't be the same device in 3 years. It'll be lighter, more powerful, and less expensive.
I once spent $600 on a CD recorder, and spent $1000 on an eMagin HMD that Nvidia made obsolete with the next driver release. The lesson I learned is to never be an early adopter unless the expense is trivial to you so it falls into the toy budget.
Or, in the case of Glass, you have a desire or capitalistic need to develop applications for it. This is/. and no one so far in the comments has even mentioned that someone might want to develop an app for it rather than evaluate existing apps for a use/purchase case.
"The vulnerability is in Android itself rather than the proprietary GMS application platform that sits atop the base operating system so it is not easily patched by Google."
Honestly, not trying to be snarky (overly anyway). I would really like to know your thoughts on why you think Linux is where it is today in the installed desktop landscape when it has had so much potential for nigh on two decades. Sure, places like Munich and now there's another municipality making the switch, but that's still a drop in the bucket compared to the other two major operating systems.
Tell your idiot bosses to stop watching too much TV and realize that what they are thinking of is science fiction and beyond the current capabilities of non-fictional creatures. We haven't gotten to invisibility cloaks yet and these guys want selective light emission and detection? Puh-lease. The clue bus will be along shortly, but be ready for a proper amount of ridicule while receiving your seat.
You missed one very important aspect of photography that--can be argued--is more important than a good camera and proper lighting. Composition, often referred to as having an "eye" for photography. I have taken some amazing photos with crappy cameras and/or less than ideal lighting. If you don't know how to intuitively compose a scene your gear isn't going to help you. That's the skill the average mouth breather with a camera phone doesn't have and why professional photogs are going to be relevant for a long time.
"Audience?!?!", you're performing for us some how? We're not your audience. In web design we, the visitors and contributors to this site, are the client. You think CmdrTaco built this thing for himself? No, he built it for the community. When you build a website for yourself or some other entity--person or corporation--you or that entity are NOT the ones who drive features or major changes, your site visitors are. Why? Because if they aren't happy or served, they will go somewhere else. It would be a shame to see an internet institution like/. fall. Its design is its brand identity. A first year marketing student could tell you that after a bit of research. Take that away and you lose so much. Sure, it has evolved a bit over time, but to throw the whole thing out and make the site look like every other blog news aggregator is just completely ignorant. To not solicit early design concept input from members that ARE professional web designers and developers is doubly so. I understand. Corporations want to make money off their web properties through ad impressions. Fair enough, but some of us have also paid rent, so to speak and to snub those for input was also bad form. I am sorry folks but you just hit too many strikes on top of the zero improvement in editorial quality since things changed hands. That would be a vast improvement to the site, more so than a redesign. The old boys had an excuse. They had day jobs or were devs for the site. I just think that what you have done will lead to at least one million registered members leaving and not looking back. Members who have been loyal and community minded for decades. It's just a shame.
The real question is, in what way does the fucking beta make slashdot better?
More room for ads. That's the only thing that anyone could say is better about BETA. FUCK, ASS! Sorry, meds wearing off. This sight has a distinctive look that should not be dismissed given the seeming proclivity to make the site look like a crappy copy of Engadget.com. FUCK BETA, ASS! It's look and feel are its brand identity. Anyone with half a semester of Marketing 101 would know this. FUCK, FUCK FUCK BETA! And the idiots that said, "Yes, let's do that!" Tards!
Holy FUCK BETA, Batman! You're right! Straight from the head tag of the Panasonic US website:

If a large population likes it the way it is, that is valid feedback. It means don't change. Keeping things the way they are is a perfectly good, and frequently the best design decision.
Depends on the site, FUCK BETA! For community forums, FUCK BETA IN THE ASS! the community should definitely have a say, FUCK, ASS! in any redesign or feature change, BETA ASS!
Slashdot Mirror
Right Wing Ideologues looking for Publicity get their asses handed to them.
The NCPPR were only trying to raise their own profile by attacking Apple's policy, nothing more.
Your second claim defeats your first. I've never heard of NCPPR before.

If you're arguing that "queue" is not a verb, I suspect there are many Brits who would happily queue for the opportunity to correct your error.
And you would think that a citizen of the country that invented the fucking language would know what a homophone is. Prat.
If you need someone to tell you you're drunk, you're too stupid to live.
No, you're an alcoholic and someone just needs to punch you in the face, because.

Why is Linux still less than 1% of the desktop market that it was supposed to dominate so assuredly some, oh, 20 years ago?
Oh, and they want to replace it with what? something that could arguably be called much more tired, the desktop interface?
"tired app icon grid of Android and iOS"
Yeah, it's so tired from ButtonFly days that it stuck around. That kind of tired? Or the kind of tired something gets when it ain't broke?
