But they are mean too. Their idea of safe sex is making sure they are somewhere where nobody can hear the screams.
I'll stick with the crash helmet and condoms.

At least it wasn't goatz or tubgirl.
Seriously, post the raw link and most browsers will make it a hyperlink.
Lol.. not only that, man in the middle, and that point about the NSA complaining so it isn't them strikes me odd. A lot of gay bashers are closet homosexuals complaining about the gays in order to stop you from thinking they are gay. It's one of the oldest forms of deciet- fake outrage while being behind it.
I doubt it would get that far. Without anyone to objecct, they would win on summary which is before any of that is introduced
Yes, apple want you to upgrade to iOS 7, but if you don't want to (or can't because your hardware is too old) they still provide security patches for iOS 6.
The last update was iOS 6.1.6 in Feb:
6.1.6 was only released for devices that cannot run iOS 7. If you have a device that can run iOS 7, you had to upgrade to iOS 7 in order to get the important security fix, even if the device had iOS 6.x at the time. There was never an iOS 6.1.6 released for iPad 2 or 3, for example.
If they had released an iOS 6.1.6 for iPad 2/3, it would've allowed downgrading from iOS 7.x to iOS 6.x then jailbreaking, something Apple hates with a passion.
No one has to buy the judge off. The judge is only allowed to consider evidence presented so if no one said this is good law and defended it, the judge could only consider the evidence challenging it. Its a done deal.
Also, people with injured kids would not have standing. They can petition a new law but the challenge would be done and over with. You cannot challenge a court ruling on just any grounds. Once the ruling is made, there has to be some sort of error or prescribed circumstance to challenge the ruling. They may however be able to sue the state if it doesn't claim soverein immunity.
Not all "support specialists" are "Bob" in the callcenter talking to lusers about downloading the internet. Even medium-sized companies often have an internal support department. From some I've seen firsthand, $28 is doing pretty well, but not so well as to be in "pipe dream" territory.
And as long as you let them, the best you can hope for is a reach around.
Sometimes government tries to overstep its bounds, its not easy but standing up to them when it happens needs to be a priority.
Those laptops are likely going to be something like 50% of laptops sold by 2015 or so.
Having actually used touchscreen laptops (as opposed to tablets), I question that assertion. They've been saying that since touchscreens entered the consumer market, and it always comes down to the same problem: ape-arm. Even more, now that tablets exist to fill the "touchscreen media consumption" niche, touchscreen laptops don't even have a real use case anymore.
but the foundation is still solvent and the OPW program is very successful and will continue to be
That remains to be seen. And even if they're solvent, the budgetary crisis will at least cut down on the damage they can do for awhile.
. I don't think there is much play in the x86 space but on the right hardware Gnome 3 will be far far better than stuff like XFCE.
You can keep saying that, but you acknowledged yourself that they lost the battle for the "right hardware," but they haven't cut their losses and gone back to a position that makes sense. Instead, they've stuck their fingers in their ears and screamed "lalalala" while people continue to make excuses for them, and just keep compounding their mistake.
Then that just underlines thier incompetence even more clearly, since approximately 0% of the "growing phone/tablet market" has any interest in any linux that's not twisted into Android, and they released a "usable" (and I use that word very charitably) desktop installation before any tablet release.
For a product that still hasn't found much marketshare, go where the growth is made sense.
Except that desktop machines are the wrong place to put touch-friendly interfaces, and GNOME is a desktop machine project. They're entirely different use cases, and what they're doing is precisely backwards.
Except the story was poorly written. They aren't having a donation problem they are having a cash flow problem because their women's programming initiatives are too successful.
Who cares? I'm just glad they're failing (that's what schadenfreude is).
Ultimately we need a good quality touch enabled desktop / tablet OS for Unix far more than we needed a slightly improved keyboard and mouse experience
"Touch-enabled interface is more important than keyboard/mouse for a desktop?" You're one of those UX bullshit artists, aren't you?
That's the kind of thinking that's got me soaking in the schadenfreude from this story.
A better way would be to just use the phone's blue tooth and pair it to the car. Allow the driver to enter a code and use the phone for keyless entry and such as an incentive. But just have the car tell the phone when to go into a relaxed mode or whatever when the vehicle is in gear and going over a certain speed.
There can be an override on the phone so if your a passenger, it doesn't matter and of course you can cancel the pairing. Most people will forget about the phone's features unless they want to make a call or text or whatever. But they won't feel the need to answer texts or phone calls so it will largely be transparent to them and avoid the most usages.
