Comment Lumia translated (Score 1) 150
Lumia in Finnish translates as plural of snow in past tense.
If you use it in a sentence: "Menneen talven lumia" (common anecdote) it translates as "Thing of the past"
My guess is that the rule has nothing to do with security. but rather exists for economic protectionism.
Of course not. He's blaming the cheaters for rigging the game.
The only gripe is that you needed someone to know the cool add-ons to be aware they are out there at all.
So, what you're saying is that you want to add a package manager?
In that case, there is no such thing as "unlawful" in America because everything not illegal is assumed to be legal (see the 9th Amendment to the Constitution).
Yo dawg, I heard you like CVS so I put your pharmacy's dyslexic tabular data in version control.
...or something like that.
It's very specific, in many sections, that the neutrality rules apply only to "lawful content".
Right, net neutrality requires you not to discriminate against lawful content. If it is silent on the issue of unlawful content, that would mean you have the option of discriminating against it. It does not mean you're somehow "required" to discriminate against it. You're conflating net neutrality's actual requirement with its inverse.
So... how do you distinguish between what is "lawful" or not?
You assume everything is lawful and don't discriminate against anything. Easy-peasy. Half the point of being a "common carrier" is that you're not liable for the unlawful content you transmit (specifically in recognition of the fact that figuring out what would be lawful or not is a pain in the ass).
Now, either you knew this or you should have known it before posting; yet you misrepresented it anyway. Therefore: STFU, troll!
I think you missed my point: the universe of possibilities for voting "against Republicans" encompasses more than just Democrats.
Actually, I was just going to warn you that you forgot to redact your name. Then when I read that you'd already noticed it, I got curious about that used oil analysis. Seriously, what's the deal with the diesel oil and/or canola in your Corolla?
We now also know you drive an '00 Corolla and live in Walnut Creek, CA. By the way, why do you use diesel oil in your gasoline engine? I put the same stuff in my TDI...
Wait -- and why is the oil analysis guy talking about canola?!
It's not like 10 years ago it was enjoyable either to use a dumb terminal, and quite frankly I doubt it's improved (I think they were SUN dumb terminals connected to something I can't remember). These days you're still going to compete over resources over a extremely high latency link (relative to computer performance). Not to mention the increased use of graphical elements in the UI.
It's worse... these days we're making our dumb terminals using AJAX.
Why don't you expect that you can re-write the code on the dozen micro-controllers in your car
I do, and I have (or more precisely, I paid somebody else to do it for me). In my case, the guy had to remove the ECU and de-solder the memory in order to flash it; on newer models it can be done thorugh the ODB II port -- I consider that to be an improvement.
Incidentally, you can get a lot more horsepower out of most turbodiesels that way.
On other cars from the same manufacturer, some people re-flash their window control module so they can roll down their windows using their keyless entry. My car had that feature already enabled, so I didn't need to mess with it.
or your refrigerator
My refrigerator is old and dumb. But if it weren't, I would indeed expect to be able to hack it.
What about your cable box?
When I had cable (against my will -- only because the cable company charged less for internet + TV than they did for internet by itself that year) I used an HDHomeRun with a CableCard.
your DVR?
I use an HTPC specifically because I can program it!
your DVD player?
It's a drive in the afore-mentioned HTPC.
How about that PS3 your kids play?
I boycott all Sony products (especially Playstations) as a matter of principle. I was starting to consider forgiving them for the rootkit, but then they removed OtherOS. Sony is dead to me.
Your ethical criteria is arbitrarily created to castigate Apple for doing the same thing that hundreds of other manufacturers have done over the last 100 years.
Nope. I apply the same standard to everything else I buy.
I'm genuinely worried acceptable new products will cease being made (which is, of course, the reason for my rule in the first place).
You probably own a few dozen processors which are similarly handicapped by the manufacturer to function as an appliance.
Try me.
Exported by what? For all you know, I might be trying to look for the damn things using strings on the raw block device!
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
