I don't.
Objective-C is an ugly, clunky language, and the only reason Apple uses it is to intentionally make your code incompatible with other platforms.
Actually, they use it for its dynamic binding and loading, but don't let facts get in the way of your FUD!
That and C++ was horribly immature at a time when Objective-C was not and the Next guys were developing NextStep.
>secret internal memo reveals the situation was far worse, with auditors finding the records from Canada's lead law enforcement agency were unusable since they were "inaccurate and incomplete."
To be fair, it's hard to write an accurate and complete records when you're riding a horse.
If it lets my phone work through cell towers from multiple carriers and doesn't suck like other MVNOs, sign me up.
> but to actually understand what it means would require several Ph.D.s and a thorough understanding of quantum physics
No, just some understanding of statistics and calculus up to tensors along with an ability to know why you know something rather than just knowing things.
When we make out relatively simple things (like quantum physics) to be complex, when in fact they are just strange we do a disservice to those who might otherwise put in the effort to understand.
Just FYI...
ARM is based on RISC architecture
The 1980s called and they want their reference architectures back.
RISC ceased to be a thing that meant anything useful for high performance CPU architecture sometime between 1990 and 1995. The Huffman like encoding of CISC instructions is certainly more beneficial for performance than the benefits of a 'simpler' instruction format which take twice the instruction bandwidth to do the same thing.
as for thinness, I dont want that! Gimme a phone 2x as thick as current top tier phones (or about 1/2 as thick as old nokia candy bar phones) and give me 4X the battery life. I want some heft in my phone. not zach morris phone thick, but old candy bar phone thick
Yup. Thinness is a terrible tradeoff.

There is no reason what so ever that any government should get involved in peoples personal financial decisions
Last I heard, mega was a business. The banks terminated their business dealings with mega.
Banks do business with their customers who do things like tell the bank to give X dollars to business Y. The bank's aren't doing business with MEGA, they are doing business with their customers.
Thank you. That's good information.
Looks like a good program. Too bad it requires uPlay.
Dunno about that. I just run it from Steam.
Yes it does bass and typically the bass playing is more accessible. You can sound better quicker.
Latency is undetectable on my Ivy Bridge games machine.
But that's just where the usefulness ends. Sure, you now appreciate rock music, but can you play it in real life on real instruments? Millions of kids bought Guitar Hero and Rock Band to realize their dreams of actually becoming ROCK MUSICIANS. Sadly, all the games do is to train you to press colored buttons in sequence with colored lights. Those skills are not transferable to real instruments, and in fact, won't even get you an audition.
Yes, as a matter of fact I can play it on a real instrument, provided that you consider an electronic drumset "real". (And I don't mean the toy drums designed for Rock Band: I use a low end Yamaha set. I have neighbors who would not appreciate the volume of a normal drumset, so this is the best I can do.) The same drumset that I play as a standalone instrument is also my controller for Rock Band 3, thanks to a $20 MIDI adapter.
I'll never be a great drummer--I'm passable at best, and don't have the drive to improve beyond that--but I did develop some of my early skills using Rock Band games.
So how are the electronic drums? Same problem, we want drums but can't have the noise. Are these a reasonable substitute? Would they work for home studio recording? We've seen them in the store, but dropping $500 on something that might be horrible doesn't sound like a plan.
Because that would get in the way of my career in technology.
One small step for man, one giant stumble for mankind.
