I wasn't talking about the downvotes, that's to be expected. I was talking about the humorless replies :) If we all acted our IQs, all the time, the world would be a very boring place. It's not responsible to buy myself expensive toys, it

Let's see how much karma I can lose in one thread. There's a difference between not thinking a joke is funny, and arguing against it as if it weren't a joke, a la tiles.

Erm... I forgot I was in a place where preemptively apologizing for making a joke isn't enough for people to think you're joking. I would like to point out though, that the text you just copied are pretty much apple's only words on the to

You're using an apple product. When did they ever claim to be secure? Your life is easier, more magical, full of glass, and very fast! Security is... a little bit of whipped cream on top. So enjoy your gestures on that magic touchpad, don't

Saying that you're no worse than everybody else is not the same as saying you're worth applauding. If you've only worked with phones, you might have an inflated view of what "Long Term" means. The servers here, for example, run for 5 years

Well, In defense of Facebook nothing about the app works well. It's not like they decided not to use C2DM, they just didn't do anything right.

I think from a programmer standpoint, I'd prefer to deal with the text directly instead of with some abstract space between characters. I see your point though, it is different. It does take a little getting used to, but if you slowly tea

I'm not a designer, so maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about. But @Aen, you sound like an idiot to me. On grids. A grid is a fantastic idea for a newspaper, or even for an iPad, where you have large elements which need to all be align

If I ever have a site which posts content, or if I ever finally make a blog, the first thing I will do is turn off the comments. If you want to talk to me, you can email me, or write your own post in response.

Yeah I've only ever dealt with Linux, that would make sense that it exists on other OSs.

Slightly unrelated, but why does everybody insist on calling it vi(m)? I have never seen a box that used vi in lieu of vim, it seems to be a historical artifact.

In the mean time, be sure to enable two-factor authentication on your account. I'll admit it's not much solace as usually the second factor uses your phone...

Yes, it is illegal to financially damage a company, and many crackers do exactly that. This article and most of the comments here argue about the tools. As hackers we find it hard to understand why a hammer could be outlawed because it is g

I'd really like to know what happened to Ubuntu being supported by Dell a while ago. http://www.dell.com/ubuntu only lists one machine that you can buy with Ubuntu pre-installed. If this had kept up, and more suppliers had joined the band

I hadn't heard of that thank you for pointing it out. This does make things look more optimistic. I would still define it as vendor lock-in though. The iTunes binary might be available for Windows, but Apple still claims control over your e

> Apple is actually moving in the direction of less lock-in as far as the consumer goes. Do you expect that any non-Apple device will be able to use iCloud? Vendor Lock-in is what's important here, and it's definitely been made stronger

This sounds reasonable. I had previously thought that only John Gruber belonged to that group. Is there anybody else you would categorize with him? I'm interested to see how other people write about Apple products.

You are absolutely correct there, once somebody has their commercial license it becomes easier and cheaper to build hours. I guess it comes down to how effective the practice is, as acrobatic maneuvers are frowned upon in most commercial se

Something I recently realized is that if this theory is true I have a big problem on my hands. See I love flying, and it is one of my life's goals to fly in professional competitions. However flight time in airplanes routinely cost $100 or
