"forget answer to security question" --- a security question is usually used in the context of retrieving or resetting a password. If Apple can retrieve the password (from the device, its servers, iTunes, whatever) or can remotely reset the password and somehow make your data available to you, then it isn't secure. Secure would mean that forgetting a password is effectively the same (at least for the next 5 or 10 years) as tossing the storage into a raging furnace.

If you work someplace that bad, get a new fucking job.

It's not like actual Stalinism, you don't go to the Gulag for trying to leave.

That's one (of many) good thing about capitalism, corporations aren't alone you can vote with your feet.

Both sides are likely lying.

You don't acknowledge damage when you're in a state of combat. That's just giving away intelligence to the enemy for free. It's like when CBS reported the exact location of Iraq's first scud missile strike against Israel. Why would you freely give the enemy information verifying their attack worked and thus help them improve future attacks? That's just stupid.

The people claiming Snowden's disclosures have compromised intelligence gathering methods are either committing treason by confirming to the enemy that their obfuscation methods are working, or know that it hasn't and are lying through their teeth to misdirect the enemy, or don't know anything and are lying by pretending to know in order to score political points.

Likewise, the people claiming Snowden's disclosures haven't compromised intelligence are either committing treason by confirming to the enemy that their obfuscation methods have been unsuccessful and they need to try something else, or know that it has a has and are lying through their teeth to misdirect the enemy, or don't know anything and are lying by pretending to know in order to score political points.

I tend to believe anybody who really knows is also smart enough to know not to reveal that info (and not commit treason) and are keeping their mouth shut. And so anybody who's claiming "with certainty" one way or the other is likely lying.

They picked Lars as a drummer and have kept him.

I've seen ROLAND drum machines with more talent.

There are many morons who make more then minimum. They aren't worth it.

That said. A moron that shows up on time and sober when scheduled will be making more than minimum in 6 months, tops.

Hi APK!!! I see you stopped taking your meds again....

You must be on good behavior at the group home, they gave you access to the computer.

That was before law enforcement became the worlds largest street gang.

only if you are retarded and only use a 4 digit code.

As much as the government wants these powers, and wants them in secret, this is really a policy decision which needs to be made by the citizens. They need to decide if off-the-shelf products should provide end-level encryption by default, or if the government should always have a back-door into all encrypted products. Not politicians, not the police, and certainly not secret government courts. Society at large needs to decide which is more important - personal privacy, or the government's ability to obtain evidence of laws being broken in communications mediums and storage devices.

This move by Apple puts the debate squarely in the public's eye, instead of hidden in esoteric cryptography forums and secret government courts.

Standard data forensics procedure is to write-protect any storage device which contains evidence, copy it bit-for-bit, and do all the decrypting and data analysis from the copy. The 10-try limit may protect your data from a random thief who lifts your phone, but the only way it's going to protect you from the government or any other technically-capable hacker is if Apple baked the limit into the flash memory-reading hardware.

And there's always this.

With the existence of Outlook you really can't depend on somebody's email client being able to render HTML. Just about the same time when IE got a passable HTML+CSS rendering engine, they started using the Word HTML engine for Outlook. The result: completely terrible support for normal HTML in Outlook. The better solution would have been to incorporate the IE rendering engine into Word and Outlook. But for some reason, they made the exact opposite decision and decided to keep using the MS Word rendering engine, and switch Outlook to use that. So it's probably not a big deal that Thunderbird has a few small problems rendering HTML.

I use the phrase 'giving blowjobs to customers' when talking about marketers of any gender. Politicians are just marketers with an army to back them up.

This is always the problem. What happens to those who don't want to separate? What happens to those who are cut off from the rest of the country by a nation in the middle of 2 parts of the same country? As a Canadian, this constantly comes up. If Quebec separates, what happens to the Atlantic provinces (PEI, NB, NS, NFLD)? What happens to the people in Quebec who voted against it? The people who voted for separation get what they wanted, but there's no compromise to satisfy those who wanted things to stay the way they were.

I know what you use it for. He is not making beer. Beer contains nothing but malted barley, water, hops and yeast.

Just short of warrants. They say what they think, and that's not allowed in PC America.
