Have you looked into how OpenBSD got started?

If you didn't update iOS, how did it actually become slower? Did you perform any measurements? Because, as studies of eyewitnesses have shown, your perception of reality may not match actual reality.
If you *DID* update iOS, it falls into that new functionality bucket.
To quote the professor:
Yet that’s all it shows: People suddenly feel that their phone is slowing down. It doesn’t show that our iPhones actually became slower.
And really, if you want new functionality - which requires new code, are you telling me it doesn't make sense that it will take up more memory and CPU cycles, and therefore "slower" ?
Unless someone finds a "if old phone, wait() and wait more()", even the "optimizing for new phone" argument is bullshit, because Apple pushes out an image specific to your phone (i.e., iOS 6 for iPhone 4 is different from iOS 6 for iPhone 4S is different from iOS 6 for iPhone 5).
Why is everything a conspiracy theory with you?
According to wc, 1202 words. Certainly crosses the 4 digit threshold for me.
If you write shit code, you shouldn't be called out for writing shit code?
In the end, the professor, after writing thousands of words, comes to no conclusion. In other words, what a waste of time. Additional new code will take more cycles to run. Gee, what a simple explanation.
Are you that stupid, or do you just play one on the Internet? This issue has been debated endlessly and there are lots of nice graphs and diagrams, even here on
No, it is not the assertion - what Level3 has pointed out is that in the peering hostel, there is sufficient capacity but Verizon refuses to use it. That is the place where Netflix's ISP and Your ISP (Verizon) meets, to pass traffic to each other.
the point is netflix is trying to increase costs on their business partners who will then have to increase prices of their customers. customers will hate the ISP but like netflix.
No. The traffic goes like this:
Business/Service Their ISP Your ISP You
It doesn't matter who the business is. The issue is the interconnect between their ISP and your ISP.
Your ISP shouldn't be able to blackmail a Business into paying them, like Comcast did. In that case, Comcast blackmailed NetFlix into peering with them. This turns the above diagram into:
NetFlix Netflix's ISP/Your ISP You
Because you said so...? People have been using full disk encryption on normal drives for a very long time now without too much complains for most workloads. Something designed specifically for full disk encryption should have less of an impact.
You need an app for that?

Since when do you have to plug your iphone in to turn off find my iphone? Not in iOS 6, 7 or 8.
Try watching where your iOS devices connect to when you send an iMessage. Or use Photostream.
a 2Ghz cpu emulating a 1Mhz cpu with amazing accuracy doesn't mean a 2Ghz cpu can emulate a 2Ghz cpu with amazing accuracy.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
