Louis Rossmann accused Apple of hypocrisy
<sarcasm> Oh, that's gross </sarcasm>
Apple, hypocrite? No kidding
Well done chaps.
Making this info public will also inject fears in criminals networks whose members may be more reluctant to use electronic devices. This may have a bad effect on their 'productivity'.
required payment of a monthly fee.
So the criminals paid for being watched by the cops... that's almost evil ^^
c++ but I am at least honest enough to admit both are crap for gui heavy windoze programming
BS. You should have a look to MFC or Qt for instance, at least if you build applications a little more complex than notepad (which is probably done in C++ anyway).
VB is for making fast crap apps. Making commercial applications with it is an heresy, unless you don't gtve a fuck about your customer.
Very interesting article. I would add a tip, perhaps more valid my side of the Channel: make the CV concise, everything should be contained on one page. It demonstrates ability for clarity, capacity of synthesis and make the work of the recruiter easier. Also avoid fancy and flashy layouts, unless you apply for graphic designer. The IT folk is expected to be rigorous, organized and efficient.
I’m a C++ programmer, I’ve done VB for money
You confessed your sin, it's a good start. A fault confessed is a half redressed.^^
sharing newly promoted people’s personal details in a spreadsheet accessible by the entire 80,000-strong British Army was routine
What a great idea. Especially in GPRD times.

The sorest ill that Heaven hath
Sent on this lower world in wrath,--
The plague (to call it by its name,)
One single day of which
Would Pluto's ferryman enrich,--
Waged war on beasts, both wild and tame.
They died not all, but all were sick:
No hunting now, by force or trick,
To save what might so soon expire.
No food excited their desire;
Nor wolf nor fox now watch'd to slay
The innocent and tender prey.
The turtles fled;
So love and therefore joy were dead.
The lion council held, and said:
'My friends, I do believe
This awful scourge, for which we grieve,
Is for our sins a punishment
Most righteously by Heaven sent.
Let us our guiltiest beast resign,
A sacrifice to wrath divine.
Perhaps this offering, truly small,
May gain the life and health of all.
By history we find it noted
That lives have been just so devoted.
Then let us all turn eyes within,
And ferret out the hidden sin.
Himself let no one spare nor flatter,
But make clean conscience in the matter.
For me, my appetite has play'd the glutton
Too much and often upon mutton.
What harm had e'er my victims done?
I answer, truly, None.
Perhaps, sometimes, by hunger press'd,
I've eat the shepherd with the rest.
I yield myself, if need there be;
And yet I think, in equity,
Each should confess his sins with me;
For laws of right and justice cry,
The guiltiest alone should die.'
'Sire,' said the fox, 'your majesty
Is humbler than a king should be,
And over-squeamish in the case.
What! eating stupid sheep a crime?
No, never, sire, at any time.
It rather was an act of grace,
A mark of honour to their race.
And as to shepherds, one may swear,
The fate your majesty describes,
Is recompense less full than fair
For such usurpers o'er our tribes.'
Thus Renard glibly spoke,
And loud applause from flatterers broke.
Of neither tiger, boar, nor bear,
Did any keen inquirer dare
To ask for crimes of high degree;
The fighters, biters, scratchers, all
From every mortal sin were free;
The very dogs, both great and small,
Were saints, as far as dogs could be.
The ass, confessing in his turn,
Thus spoke in tones of deep concern:--
'I happen'd through a mead to pass;
The monks, its owners, were at mass;
Keen hunger, leisure, tender grass,
And add to these the devil too,
All tempted me the deed to do.
I browsed the bigness of my tongue;
Since truth must out, I own it wrong.'
On this, a hue and cry arose,
As if the beasts were all his foes:
A wolf, haranguing lawyer-wise,
Denounced the ass for sacrifice--
The bald-pate, scabby, ragged lout,
By whom the plague had come, no doubt.
His fault was judged a hanging crime.
'What? eat another's grass? O shame!
The noose of rope and death sublime,'
For that offence, were all too tame!
And soon poor Grizzle felt the same.
Thus human courts acquit the strong,
And doom the weak, as therefore wrong.
What about making decomissionning of satellites internationally mandatory by sending them back to Earth for destruction in the atmosphere? No more junk left 'rotting' in space: operators would have to let some fuel aboard to remove the satellite, or to pay another operator to bring it down with an additional booster.

Politicians, whatever the side, think to begin they are above all laws, and everything should be allowed to them. They don't like when somebody dares to say the opposite. They see them as some feudal lord having all rights on the serfs, only the richest bourgeois may be heard, because money.
Separation of powers may be a basis of democracy, but cryonism and corruption make it too many times an illusion. Our democracies are too often in reality oligarchies .

Would we accept to go only in Toyota gas stations if you own a Toyota, or in Ford's ones if you own a Ford? Why should we accept that for apps intended for a specific hardware? Open the distribution market!
I thought that competition was good for consumers, as was freedom of choice. Let's prove it.
