I haven't paid enough attention to see if that's how it works on my N900. Some times it seems like it does, and other times it doesn't.
I think my ideal for shuffle would be to reshuffle the playlist after you've gone through every song once, maybe with a check that the last 10% of the previous run through the list aren't in the first 10% of the new run.
Look at the Apple vs. Samsung trial. Apple *owns* the US 'justice' system.
Whatever your opinion of that trial, it's tough to argue that Apple "owns the U.S. justice system". It was just last year that Apple got smacked down pretty hard in their case against Motorola.
Which is part of the problem... Fox shills for the corporations, and CNN shills for the Republicans.
I suspect that CNN was only shilling for the Republicans because they were the ones in charge at the time. Viewers and access to the administration (which gets them the viewers) are the most important things to them.
Very little that you see on Fox News is actually classified as news. Even three years ago, their only news programming was from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. (New York Times source, reference to New York Times article in case of paywall).
How can anyone say, with a straight face, that you need to run AV software on a goddamn phone? A PHONE! What manner of circumstances lead to this being considered something that is perfectly normal?
The circumstances of these phones effectively being general purpose computers.
Google Authenticator is, as far as I know, just an implementation of a standard OTP algorithm. Any OTP program (I have the one from the Maemo repository on my N900) should work fine.
That's where the phrase "intellectual property" came from, though. Patents and copyrights are supposed to define a boundary that allows you to prevent others from trespassing on your piece of "land".
It isn't a perfect analogy, of course, but it's better than most people around treat it.
OCD only in the respect that some mail has sensitive private data (S.S., DOB, Address, CC Info, Phone #, kids names) and I don't want that sitting there overnight or even more than an hour really.
Holy shit, your mail gets stolen if it's in your mailbox for an hour? Remind me never to live in your neighborhood.
However, others are a just a constant circle-jerk like/r/atheism/r/politics where it is impossible to have a civil discussion without getting down-voted into oblivion simple because you refuse to spout the fan-boi's dogma and want to look at things objectively.
People just don't get it. Humans will NEVER travel more and a couple of AU from earth. The distances are nearly beyond comprehension. Science Fiction is just that fiction and always will be.
Never travel more than a couple AU? I'm pretty sure the entire Earth moves farther than that (6.28 AU, to be a bit more precise) every single year. I think somehow we'll manage it some day.
Im failing to see how... "Cortex A9" is remotely similar to "Core i5"
Well, they're both a word that starts with "Cor", a space, and then a single letter and a single digit. Really, if you can't see how similar they are, there's just no hope for you.
How are copyrights not government enforced monopolies?
The scope of the monopoly granted by copyright is far narrower than it is for a patent. Your copyright on a book does not prevent another author from writing a book with the same setting (or a similar setting, if your setting is entirely fictional), same character personalities, and same basic plot.
And then comes along to Age of Reason and Enlightenment, and suddenly people demand consistency, and somewhat sound logic. And proofs. And the Bible was from that point on seen as more and more symbolic.
"The Age of Enlightenment (or simply the Enlightenment or Age of Reason) was a cultural movement of intellectuals in the 17th and 18th centuries" (Wikipedia). In the 12th century, though, Maimonides was already postulating that there can be no contradictions between what God can do and what humans observe of the world. According to Maimonides, not even God operates outside of nature. So the attempt to reconcile religion and science is quite a bit older than you're claiming.
I assume that the post you replied to is referring to the practice of colluding to maintain the artificial scarcity of some product, and not the patent itself. It's either that or assuming that the poster was completely drunk.
Yeah, it does, but I would guess that very few people can read it fluently and very few keyboards have all of the characters. I assume the characters are all in some Unicode set, so at least stuff like databases should be able to handle it.
Since there is often a very long delay from filing to patent award, during which filers must not publicly disclose their idea, priority becomes an issue more frequently than one might expect.
Are you proposing that it should be changed to be this way? Currently, that is absolutely not true.

Exactly. After all, nobody that's ever written their own authentication code has ever screwed it up.

Hm, I wonder what that whooshing sound you heard might have been.

Not everything is conducive to a car analogy.
You must be new here.

That facility didn't even come into existence until decades after the plaform beceme a malware magnet.
Decades? Windows Update was available for Windows 95 and Windows 98. I don't think Windows was a malware magnet in the late 1970's.
Don't take this as a defense of Microsoft in any way, but merely a correction in the interest of accuracy.

You cannot trespass on digital media.

Ask Congress to grant you a legal monopoly
By which you mean, "be created by Congress as authorized by the Constitution," right?

Damnit, I'm going to be having nightmares for a month.

With no patents, anyone with money can make a clone of an existing product and... [sell] their clone as the original item.
Did these economists recommend abolishing trademarks, too?
Would you say that living in DC could be considered... dangerous? Would you say it's kind of a zone, that has danger in it?
I hear there's a highway to DC, too.
