If you have to go to a third party community that may or may not have updates then your mode is broken. Xda is nice if you are modding it, etc. however if you want it to work without spending an hour doing so then it isn't the right place. And yes the last time I tried and failed to install an xda android rom my device was trashed. It was my fault I missed one of the 50 perquisite steps required.

Hell there are days when I think it would be faster to compile android from source on the device than use those roms.

Enlightenment took Christians 200 years and they still aren't done.

Muslims are 500 years behind Christianity. You have another 7-800 years before they will improve.

Enlightment was fought by Christians and still is.

You should read how the bible treats women. It isn't any different from sharia.

Females are considered second class citizens in all monotheist religions. Fortunately the USA and most of Europe is made of descendants of various pagan religions that Christianity had to adapt to. Christianity had to add local customs. Things like Christmas, Halloween, new years, Some of those pagann religions had women as equals. It took centuries. But it happened.

Yes,

But would you trust a chef who won't eat their own food?

Exactly. The big trick way back when was a limited written history. When craving into stone tablets you only hit the highlights and none of the gritty details. So people ended up duplicating each other's work hundreds if not thousands of times before paper copies started getting created. And even once we had paper the data was so far separate from each other that compiling and knowing what was in the complications took another couple of thousand years.

Even today you can't get all of human knowledge easily. you have to duplicate someone else's work a lot of the time. Just look at Operating Systems and the not invented here ideology in software. And that is with easily transmitted data.

Useful things like making weapons, and making beer got passed down verbally, as those would save lives. but spoken and memory communication is at best a hit or miss affair. It is why I wonder why we want to talk to computers as it is a horrible method of data transmittal.

I don't have any issues with my iphone6. okay I have one issue. at work and only at work I have to turn off and then turn on the wifi to get it to connect. At home, at a dozen other places no problems. but at work i have issues.

Then again it could be an app thing. there could be one app that is crashing her phone. I know if I am at work and I try to use a wifi only app it can crash the app. but if I turn off and on the wifi it works fine. But only with my works Access Point. Any where else I don't have that issue.

The niagra falls every knows is in Canada, the buffalo side or american side isn't as impressive.

Tens of thousands of unupdated bluray players beg to differ.

The problem is step 4 is the issue.

using encryption correctly with access controls, is all but impossible with current OS's.

Very few OS's have the access control setup to properly limit. Most current forms of Access control assume a greater and greater level of access with each level. That still creates accounts which can access everything. You don't want that.

What is needed is an access level system that lets you install updates, maybe move files, but not read them. This way the system admin can't access your secure data period. He can move it, but he can't actually read the file itself. That way upper level executives who demand access to everything can get access to the data but not install malware. Even then there needs to be access level to restrict data from all but certain levels. So Accounting department can access your credit card information but the executives above them can't.

So a Mandatory/need to access form of Access control, not the pyramid type system used in place today where each person is a on a level, and a few at the top get everything.

Not quite it is more if you have a good approved app and If that app has a security flaw, you can use that flaw to hijack the OS.

Still it seems stupid. It is like saying you have permission to run scripts you can run a malicious script.

So why increase military spending?

450 billion for a plane that isn't yet flying gets an increase yet you bitch and moan over 1 billion. Talk about pinching pennies to waste hundreds.

yea I noticed the extra 12 minutes of tv show time while watching Daredevil on netflix.

The episodes seem just that much longer.

That same lot and house 10 miles from Boston $500k. 25 miles from Boston $300k

yet we expect people in such cities to survive on minimum wage so we can get our morning Starbucks.

Shh. you might make sense. Where Assange is concerned common sense, and legal standing aren't allowed.

on Slashdot if you assume anything other than men in black are out to get assange you will be modded into oblivion and trolled hard.

The simple fact is Assange destroyed wikileaks all by himself. notice how they aren't publishing leaks of any kind of quality for the last several years. His ego got to big, and he burned himself. now he doesn't have any credibility with anyone but conspiracy theorists.

Sure EA doesn't upgrade anything. slashdot Beta would never have existed.

not to mention the DRM would prevent AC's from getting their frosty piss.
