Technically, the client did err, as it performed a request that is not legally permitted in its jurisdiction. For example, this response could be used for geographically-limited resources (such as BBC iPlayer), which means your client erred

Although I have my fair share of hesitance at worshiping cloud services, the fact that a service is "cloud" has nothing to do with the quality of its architecture. You can make a crucial architecture mistake designing a fleet of dedicated P

Best solution here would appear to be never sync that iPad again, back it up to iTunes, disable its Wi-Fi, and consider it her speech appliance. Don't update the OS, don't sync to iTunes, never do anything with it again aside from using it

Even if Justin Beiber himself is clueless (and I don't think he is), the people around him are experts at creating a product that appeal to their target demographic. The most successful stars that, to you, seem to create shitty music are th

Good points. I hadn't thought about it from a supply chain perspective or that of cannibalizing sales. That's definitely a consideration.

I used to edit video in Avid on a Mac Pro. Multimedia usages will drink memory like water, and your system being more powerful directly implies that you get more work done. Less render time is a big one. To that end, I can understand some o

Apple being as wealthy as it is implies, to the contrary, that it is not clueless.

My comment was a generality. For example, if Apple (or any company) tomorrow published: Q1 2013 (tentative) iOS 6.1 Q2 2013 (tentative) Mac Pro update Q3 2013 (tentative) iOS 6.2 Does that give competitors a leg up

Does anybody else think secretive companies annoy customers more than open ones? A lot of bad feelings could have been avoided yesterday were this public information, without Tim having to e-mail someone to break it. There was a genuine ras

Daryl Oster's company has submitted proposals to Florida, at least, on building and maintaining a system such as this. I think part of the requirement for submitting such a proposal is at least a cursory cost analysis. Wikipedia reads a bit

Safe to say that the terrorists have won, if the first eight comments on something as cool as this have to do with possible ways the terrorists can destroy it. What a depressing new era.

FunnyJunk is apparently responding quietly on their site, as just searching for the word 'oatmeal' results in no search results (that wasn't the case when this blog post went up). According to people I know that use the site, you cannot add

Remember how you were surprised I was accusing you of being a troll a while back? And you were adamant that you aren't, and that I had you all wrong? (Amusing, given your bio.) Now step back and read this comment, as well as your PowerShell

> I really liked the way it doesn't make the debate as "fiat" vs. non-fiat (as though fiat were a dirty term) When someone uses the word "fiat" in casual conversation with me (without meaning the make of vehicle) I reply, "oh, a Bitcoin

"Sexism" and "creepiness" are not synonyms of each other.

Thank you for speaking up. Just as it's crucial that women not be silent when being excluded from tech, it's just as (if not more) imperative we hear that you're not feeling discriminated against. Especially when there is a rallying cry fro

No. Most of my conversations revolve around my career, and I'm a system administrator. Bike shedding I had already identified to be a problem. Pedantry like this I'm starting to notice as well.

Not just the last few weeks, the last few days. I was already drawing that conclusion before this disclosure, and internally speculating that the same group or person might be responsible.

Your entire comment would be wise were it not for, both in the case of my anecdote and this original comment, the observation that someone is incorrect. It's one thing to enjoy intellectual pursuits, it's another to put down others, belittl

It's unfortunate that it's easy to forget the judicial branch (I do too). It's tough to perceive their actions as governing in the same way that Congress governs, but it is in fact the case. It's also great when it's used effectively.

I'm beyond disappointed that the article is about the most important ruling regarding patent law in recent memory, and the overwhelming majority of this thread is arguing about the geometry cited in the judge's order. Rational people unders

There's a lot of untapped creativity from the masters of film and television production in gaming, because the skills don't map well. I'm definitely keen to see what happens to that situation once the engines get closer to simulating the re

I prefer to stay semi-anonymous, but a few people know who I am (it wouldn't be rocket science to deduce). When I posted under my real name folks I did not know would come up to me at conferences and argue with me about things I had said on

The state that xip.io is in right now could, theoretically, result in DNS failures 50% of the time on any device.

(The author of the software wrote a comment here: "So you're just here to shit on things?", which he has since deleted.) I genuinely and honestly cannot log into your Gandi account and fix your nameserver delegation, so that means I'm just

I'm sorry, I edited my comment (the broken zone is more troubling to me than the impetus for using it) and made yours look out-of-place. You responded to something accurate the first go, and I agree with you.
