You are wrong. I am not a climate scientist. Almost all the people here are not climate scientists. However, if 97% of climate scientists [nasa.gov] around the world agree on something, it tends to sway me into their favor.
That again? 72 people. Do you know exactly what it is those 75 people actually agree on?
The problem is faceless Wall Street, which will sue if they don't feel the CEO is doing their duty to artificially buoy the stock price in the short term.
They will, huh? When has that happened, exactly?
BTW Adam Curry should never been seen or heard from again in the tech community IMHO.
He's a radio personality and an MTV VJ. What do you expect?
He is, especially with his latest partner John C., far too entertaining to be banned from the "tech community" - even when there are no new phones (and, thus, no "tech news").
He's throwing the entire pool of U.S. workers under the bus!! "...just OK..." ???
Judging from the foreign labor I've worked with for the last 6 or 7 years, compared to similarly qualified US workers, I'd say that description is upside-down. About the only thing the Chinese and Indian imports are better at is bowing and scraping and accepting more work than they can possibly do with nothing a "yes, yes, yes" deferring contriteness. That only makes them look like even worse productively, because so many tasks end up as crap, or late, or simply dropped.
If they mean that foreign workers put on a better facade as slaves, and US workers are only "Ok" slaves, yea, I'll buy that.
That's no mistake; you're a xenophobic idiot.
You lose.
It would still be a problem because Apple shouldn't allow the upgrade to be installed on a device which can't run it properly.
Correct. In fact, the iPhone 3GS maxes out at iOS version 6. I assume the 4 or 4S can run iOS 8, but that would be the oldest version you can install it on.
Way back in the now closed Sarkeesian thread, you made the claim that she made up the threats and that there was no police report.
Yes, this is off-topic as crap. Why are you harassing me? It's pretty douchey on your part.
I looked at the woman's history, and she is a confirmed liar and publicity hound. I NEVER claimed she made up the threats, ONLY that without confirmation her word alone is not credible.
the SFPD has made it clear that Sarkeesian reported exactly the threats she said she did, do you acknowledge you're wrong?
I would acknowledge that credible evidence exists that she did, in fact, file a police report, if you were to post a link to some credible source of the report. Or am I supposed to simply accept your word for it? As for acknowledging that I'm wrong - what I said is still not wrong (but it is not relevant if there is a police report). What's wrong is your characterization of what I said. Will you acknowledge that?
ISIS == CIA
It's just a marketing ploy to get the American people to go along with war with Syria, taking out Assad, propping up the Petro-Dollar and controlling the pipelines. The whole "Assad regime uses nerve gas" ploy didn't work, so this is the next attempt. And the dumbed-down, media-controlled masses are falling for it.
the promise is to keep all products supported as they are.
Oh, well that's okay then. Wait... isn't that what they said about Skype?
Then TOR will be wrapped by a VPN service, and Comcast will be fscked.
Didn't you read the article? VPN is against Comcast's terms of service-- it's a proxy.
The TOS only restricts you from running a proxy service, not for using a proxy service as a client.
Well it's good that something is done about law enforcement misusing their powers, but I can't help feeling that the (morally, if not legally) right solution would be to let the child porn conviction stand but to bring a charge against the agent who was misusing his powers.
The law does not allow that type of sanction. When law enforcement abuses their power to make an arrest, the only remedy available to the courts or the defendant is to throw out the conviction. It's intended to ensure law enforcement
The evidence was thrown out because he was convicted of and illegally broad search, which included people not related to the military. Didn't you even read the title??? For once, the good guys win.
No, there were no winners in this one. Child Pornographers were set free without prosecution because the investigators clearly don't give a crap about following the law themselves. The excessive surveillance was so shocking to the conscience that they will even allow child pornographers to go free. Bad guys on all sides, and nobody wins.
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.
