Not really, it would mean you would need to visually inspect the warnings to make sure there were no problems. If you were actually going to use it in a place where security was crucial
maybe we should think about stupid regulation versus smart regulation
YES thankyou for saying this, you are amazing. Everytime I hear someone engaging in an argument saying, "regulation is bad!" "no, regulation is good!" I hang my head in wonder at the stupidity involved. Couldn't it possibly be that there are some good regulations, and some bad regulations, and that the wise choice is to both oppose and favor regulations at the same time?
If you drove a Volvo or a Toyota in the same way, you would also crash and burn in pretty much the same manner, but with a tank of explosive gasoline to make things more interesting. Anyway, good riddance to this guy.
Says the guy commenting on the issue without knowing anything about the treatments objected to by other regions - objections just as "sincere" as those from the owners of Hobby Lobby.
Do you seriously think that the sincerity of the beliefs is the only thing the court takes into consideration?
Dear China: YOU BUILT IT. I think if it was a problem, you'd have mentioned something before now...
China didn't build the OS, and that's where the concern comes from.
Failure to provide work arounds will inherently limit adoption of the project.
I'm certain the OpenBSD guys have literally never cared a single bit. Their goal is to make a secure, clean, and open codebase that people can use and build upon. Anything beyond it simply existence is a bonus.
Provide money and guidance to the local school systems then let them buy the approved technology they need rather than what is dictated to them
I've got a different take on the matter. As far as I know, the federal government exerts control over public education by taking money away from the states via taxation, and then only returning it if the states will teach in the manner seen fit by the Dept. of Education.
I.e., they use the ability of the federal government to tax anything and everything to circumvent the limitations on the powers of the federal government.
So in contrast to your solution, I'd suggest the federal government just taxes the states' citizens less, and let the states figure it out if they want to. Problem solved.
Anything coming out of the U.S. is a threat to everybody else's national security.
Actually, anything with practically opaque internals is a potential security hole, including processors, compiled software, network equipment. Also anything involving telecommunications.
If China is picking on only Apple, I'd wager it's to drum up business for some company that's owned by a state or an official.
China is right: the iPhone is a gaping security hole.
I also have little doubt that their "solution" will also be a gaping security hole, except that it will be designed so only China's intelligence services can exploit it.
