Do you have any sources for this "breaking it down on age, education, grades, jobs, actual experience (part-time vs full-time, overtime, time on leave) you find that most these differences disappear"?

What I particularly love about the recent use of the phrase "social justice" is that the people using it seem to think it's a negative one. How the hell can you be against social justice? Are you campaigning for social injustice?

I know... I probably shouldn't be here...

*Re-reads my original comment*

Oh, right, yes.

Are you not sort of expected to leave if you ask if you're free to go? I don't want to leave, I want to continue doing the legal thing that I'm doing.

Can't speak for conspiracy. Can speak for several friends with different models of iPhone that have seen this exact effect. There doesn't have to be a deliberate conspiracy for it still to happen.

I love the regularity of this type of article, and the complete lack of justification why suddenly *now* it's necessary whereas demonstrably before now it has not been required.

It's not perfect, but the Apple model of effectively forcing old hardware into uselessness (ie becoming so slow with the latest OS) isn't exactly perfect either.

And I have seen every generation of iPhone eventually be upgraded into uselessness because the hardware is too slow to run the operating system. What's worse, because the majority do get upgraded, app developers quickly stop supporting old OS versions and those people who don't upgrade *still* end up with a useless smartphone because the apps stop working. It's not all bread and roses in the iOS model either.

The far better solution is to Disable apps (can be done from the app settings) and then they effectively don't exist to the operating system (though they do still reside on the disk)

Why would we think he would say anything else? That's his job, and presumably he's surrounded by plots and threats that he needs to counter every day, so his perspective is going to be a little biased.

The important thing is that whenever a policeman or agent says something like this, we respond by thinking "well obviously he would say that" and take a view on whether that is proportionate based on the wider civil liberties consequences. The fault is not that they would want that, everyone always wants more power to do their job more effectively, is that we have weak politicians that grant it too easily.

Not a hugely useful comment... Yes of course it isn't bricking every unit, but if it's causing such a serious problem on even 1%, this is a fuck up.

And, by necessity of physics, massively wasteful of rf frequency. Not sure why you need this, also?

Bingo. The only way they can keep competitive is to offer decent salaries *on their own*. I'm fairly good at negotiating, but only after many years and I'd really rather not have to.

Yes and no. The 'new' generation (for any given time) is never as clever or inventive as they think they are, but they generally *are* a little bit inventive and have some level of new perspective to bring. Maybe believing that you're God's gift to knowledge is the fiction we need for progress...

Your posts are a rare moment of intelligent empathy in a thoroughly depressing set of ./ comments. Some posts really do bring out the worst aspects of this community.
