Comment You just don't get it... (Score 1) 622

You all just don't get it... thanks to iCloud, everything you think you deleted is still there!

For example, this has happened to my girlfriend and her friend. They both bought the new Iphone 6, well my GF got the 6 plus and her friend got the regular 6, and as their backups were downloading from icloud, guess what downloaded as well?

All the nudy pics they have been sending and receiving since they the iCloud service came about. They both delete the text messages and photos, and they never save anything. It even displayed the text messages from way back, too. The iCloud still has them and they may show up next time you get a new iPhone and download from the iCloud.

The downloading of old photos you thought you deleted is a glitch, but the fact that they are still there is not a glitch. iCloud, OneDrive, etc. all keep that stuff even if you "delete" it.

So, who's to say that the photos they found weren't photos the celebs keep, because why keep a nude photo of yourself? It's because they keep it even if you want it deleted!

That's not really the point... this is against AMD making it difficult for a developer to put an unoptimized game out as fast as possible. I blame MS and Sony for hogging resources. I remember in PSX/PS2 and Dreamcast that the "OS" was nearly non-existent when the game was running. All I know is that in 2015, AMD needs something big to be a viable option - they are far from being a "competitor" to intel as they stand right now.

Not really, I know people who write POS code for a company that competes with NCR. They have no ties to banks. it's all about talking to processors, like VISA, Mastercard, etc.

I guess people are trying to pin this on the bank because banks are evil. #wallstreet #99% #ideserverwhatyouworkedfor #givemestuff

They are still tapping phones, they are still encroaching on our very-so-precious privacy. I don't want NSA to hear me talk sex with a russian prostitute overseas. It's my right as an American to do what I want behind closed doors....

Snowden is just popular because it's cool to disrupt the status-quo and by doing so, he is therefore part of the status-quo - meaning nothing has changed and nothing will ever change because there is nothing that needs to be changed...

Comment There are other rocks also (Score 2, Insightful) 180

If you look in the photo provided by CNN in the article, look at the rock which casts a shadow near the top left corner of the photo.

That same rock is there in the newer photo with the donut-rock. Now, just look down a little bit and slight right you will see a darker spot that wasn't that dark in the earlier picture and it appears to cast a shadow. Therefore, there are more rocks (at least two) that weren't there before.

Bitcoin is the Libertarian's Currency!

Taken from his rant:

"Libertarians love it because it pushes the same buttons as their gold fetish and it doesn't look like a "Fiat currency". You can visualize it as some kind of scarce precious data resource, sort of a digital equivalent of gold. Nation-states don't control the supply of it, so it promises to bypass central banks. "

Not only that, the yield of such intrinsic metals on these asteriods may literally be a thousand times higher than current yields here.

Of course, very high yields of such metals can be very detrimental to the market because t he whole premise of mining is to have low availability to make extreme mining ventures viable.. Why continue spending billions of dollars in mining palladium, iridium, if the value drops to that of gold prices?
