A little known aspect of the tough as nails deal that apple cut with at&t for a lengthy US exclusive deal was that that apple got a not insubstantial piece of every iphone subscriber's service fee from at&t. Not far below $10/mo/subscriber when the iphone first rolled out as I understand it. This is why AT&T has had a variety of fee recouping schemes on the iphone over the years. This is where all the verizon iphone rumors came from every year after the first year or two - the deal got renegotiated yearly after the first two and both parties were playing big time hardball, though I am under the impression the subsidy amount dropped dramatically by the end. I think they still have some obligations to pay on some subscribers that predate the loss of exclusivity.

Well since your affirmations are never argumented nor sourced, I have hard time qualifying then as "expression of truth". They are much like "immovable opinion of a troll" to me.

Again in this comment you blame Ruby/PHP/Javascript without any detail:

> poor performance, poor security, poor maintainability, and various other issues.

Hum, well ok ... compared to what ? All these properties seems relative to me. And I really don't think that a langage / platform can combine all of them. Just like a database can't be CAP or like the project triangle[0]. Engineering is all about tradeoffs.

> Their communities are toxic, and in many cases ignorant.

Hum, even better... Even from Theo de Raadt this sentence would feel arrogant to me.

Just to be clear I have no problem with you having this opinion, and I don't really want to debate about it. I just wanted to know if you had some rational behind it. Now I have my idea...

Straight Talk is a great alternative. They use AT&T towers and only charge $45/month for unlimited call/text/data. Works on my iPhone.
I'm aware that i'm not completely safe but from my perspective it looks like, if the situation affecting the economy , Europeans will react and do something about it.

Patent trolling is a problem in U.S. since a long time but nobody want's to fix it. Politicians seems doesn't care, big corporations simply pay fees and reflect them to their customers or like in this case, companies let patent trolls screw their suppliers / business partners.

Entrepreneurs & companies spending billions[0] for nothing, current patent system ironically hinders innovation, which is clearly bad for the economy and the country, everybody complains but nothing changes. I'm really having a hard time understanding why is this happening [1]

I don't understand why Google isn't all over this.
But when it does work, this is simpler than a bookmarklet. I wouldn't bother with the bookmarklet because it is rare that I need this. But I hope I remember this url next time I need something auto-reloaded. Since its name is similar to letmegooglethatforyou, there is a good chance I will remember.
industry implies economic activity, so revenue is a really good metric for that. is it perfectly accurate? no, but it is a better metric than your anecdote that none of the software you used while growing up was german.
Most customers who book way in advance are in one of two classes: really price-sensitive, or really time-sensitive. The airlines try to figure out which you are through the special offers. As such, they'll set the base rate higher than the 3-month out rate to catch some extra revenue from the time-sensitive people, and then have "special offers" to induce the price-sensitive people to book.
IANAL But this patent screams of "obviousness", or technically "would a person skilled in the art or science, consider this non-obvious and novel". Most likely not.

I find it stupid how by obfuscating, rephrasing and refactoring claims to avoid a prior art search by the examiner, and by making it sound confusingly novel, patents actually get granted for things like this.
It makes sense to allow collaboration in some contexts (homework) while forbidding it in other contexts (test taking). This way, students are rewarded for working together yet are still have an incentive to make sure they aren't simply letting their partners do the work at the expense of their own understanding (intentionally or not).

The cheating happened in a testing context. Other parts of the class would have emphasized the collaborative aspect of learning, and I'm sure this contributed to the widespread consensus that sharing answers was OK, despite written instructions to the contrary.
A big point that recruiters emphasize with a client is that they can bring in good candidates who otherwise would not have had interest in a position (and whether they actually fulfill this is not the point here). Since you found and applied for the position on your own, you don't necessarily fit this category, and you might or might not be able to convince them of your argument.

One more step: Master programmer realizes that they're still a Novice programmer - repeats the cycle.
Simple solution - like with legal practice, if you're thrown out (disbarred) you can't mention the job without also mentioning the having been thrown out. Then let people choose to pretend they hadn't been police at all or admit what happened, as they prefer.
Why have speed limits at all then? I've heard anecdotes of professional drivers getting out of massive speeding tickets because they know how to handle a vehicle at that speed (and presumably had the good sense not to be driving way faster than traffic if there even was any) and its certainly possible to get a speeding ticket when traveling under the limit if conditions do not permit.

Seems to me that they should be treated as good-weather guidelines (legally; that's already more or less the case in practice), and focus on the people driving recklessly - weaving in and out of traffic, going 10mph+ faster than everyone else, tailgating, etc.
Beware that nesting tickets to circumvent minimum stay requirements is almost certainly against fare rules.

For example, http://www.aa.com/i18nForward.do?p=/customerService/customer...

American specifically prohibits the practices commonly known as:

Back to Back Ticketing: The combination of two or more roundtrip excursion fares end to end for the purpose of circumventing minimum stay requirements.

And yes, there are automated algorithms to detect that (although both tickets would need to be on the same airline for those algorithms to work, and the fact that MHT/BOS/PVD are different airports may be enough to get around that in your case)
I actually don't think the domain name is that bad. I was more alluding to my own poor memory for the names of useful apps like this.

It is pretty long for a domain name, but I think I'd remember it thanks to the similarity to http://lmgtfy.com/, commonly used by sarcastic people throughout the web. That was deliberate, right?

Yes, that is why it is very difficult to get a change of venue out of the Eastern District.

That's just one of the reasons why ED Texas is so deadly.

Others:

In the ED, it is extremely difficult to get a motion to stay pending review of the patent by the USPTO. The court also moves very quickly, which compresses the financial burden of defense into a short time period. The fast moving court also makes it difficult to get a review completed by the USPTO in time before trial.

That said, the AIA compels the USPTO to rule much quicker, increasing the probability that you can get the patent invalidated before it reaches trial. However, the cost of the new review process is incredibly expensive: hundreds of thousands of dollars if you have an average lawyer. Could be a million if you have a top law firm billing you.
If Unity projects could be exported to WebGL I would use it for some projects. Many programmers / designers (myself included) don't have the time or skill to code at such a low level for common functionality. I really enjoy the ease of use certain engines such as Unity3d and UDK bring to the table and it appears I am not the only one looking at all the 3D indie games being released using these tools.
I feel like a bad developer for not knowing this answer.

Part of me wants to say yes because it's iframe traffic and independent of my website.

Part of me wants to say no because i dont have a cert for this domain and it might somehow try to communicate via http because of that? or at least cause some flags in your browser?

Either way I'm not sure I personally would trust a random guy (even though I'm pretty trustworthy) having my bank session hanging out in an iframe on his insecure personal project website.
"Any person standing in front of a large perspective background is copying a single painting? Really?"

You're right that I'm not an active part of the solution, here. If you have the energy to actively campaign against every injustice you know of in this world or anything even close then I honestly thank you for working so hard for the public. From where I sit though, most of the world appears corrupt and injust to varying degrees, many far worse than what's going down here. So I pick other fights.

And while I have no illusion that I'm somehow being of any real help here, i think it is fair to say that pointing out that it is extremely unsafe to play in traffic is a reasonable approach to reducing the number of people who will get hit by a bus.
According to the TOS, they're supposed to notify you and give you a way to cancel in 30 days. I was notified but never given the chance to cancel.
>Imagine, for example, we applied the same argument to ATC controllers.

One can't honestly compare the rigor and checks for a order of magnitudes larger workforce. It's like saying the same rigor applied to space vehicles should be taken to build cars or appliances. I mean, it's possible, but not economically viable. Also, it's not the same kind of adrenalin inducing scenario (i.e you're not thinking, "is this the plane that's coming for me"? i.e. is this the guy who's going to take me down?)

>Also don't buy the "just a few bad cases" excuse.

Ok, but I never made any point about this.

I'm only saying that a system which relies on humans but does not account for their fallibility will have a weakness which needs to be acknowledged and addresed in order to be effective.

>So by this definition there are very few "good cops"

By that definition, there would be very few good people. People tend to give people they know or work with "the benefit of doubt" or even "turn a blind eye".

Telcos like AT&T are scum and they have a thousand shady ways to get money out of customers. But I don't think this is one of them.

There is no way to use a smartphone without using data. Smartphone OSs use data in the background for so many things, for even voicemail. So, in this case, I think they are justified in adding a data plan. It is near impossible to use iOS or android without data, even when using them without any apps.
Just because people are insane on motorcycles doesn't mean the state should pay for the health care of people in cars who could wear a seatbelt. The legality of motorcycles is a separate issue.

And lets be honest. We already have to drive regulated cars, with regulated emission, with gas that is regulated, at the speeds that are regulated, and only if we have regulated licenses. Is a seat belt really a big deal? Wearing one will probably save your life. Is that so bad?

I suppose this might be true in general (in a world where footage is not expected) --but if footage were to become commonplace, even expected (and this evidence), then there would have to a revisit to what's allowed and what isn't and what transgresses into police brutality (taking context into account, etc.) and what does not and how that would affect lawsuits, etc.

Haha, I used to have a Chinese couple as flatmates, and the woman had horrible problems buying clothes in the U.S.; at most stores the only clothes which fit were those in the kids' department, which obviously often proved problematic when trying to dress for work, etc!

[I currently live in Japan, and although my feet are only medium in the U.S., I have a lot of problems buying shoes that are big enough here ... they exist, but it's usually the case that if I just choose something I like, the store doesn't stock it or has run out (typically they only get a few pairs of "fringe" sizes). I either have to buy only the most boring and standard shoes (which they sell in large enough numbers to justify carrying fringe sizes) or have to be on a constant lookout for new shipments. As a result, I really hate buying shoes, and often end up wearing them into the ground, getting my feet wet through the holes in my soles when it rains.... TT ]

If you turn off the data your phone is as good as a dumb phone it can not use data at all unless you are on a wifi network.
Before you get a chance to go to settings app and turn off mobile data, the OS probably already made 10 data requests to check 20 settings. It is data call. Whether the telco should count that as data and charge for it is a different question.

What I never understood is why Google's motto wasn't "Be Good". Logically and linguistically, "be good" is simpler than "Don't Be Evil", even if they aren't logically equivalent. And, as any psychologist will tell you, you don't say or think what you are trying to avoid; instead, you focus on something else that achieves the same goal, so if you were trying not to be evil, the word evil shouldn't even be in the motto.

If they had focused on "Be Good", perhaps they would have fully instituted good service from the beginning and embraced personal customer contact.

People can usually buy same day as travel in the US, too. Some flights might be sold out, some fares may be higher... but others will still be quite low. It's just uncommon, if you know you'll be flying, because of the risks.

Are you suggesting there's no risk of finding either a higher price or no seats when waiting until the day of travel in China? If so, there may be a yield-management inefficiency where someone else is losing out, and seats are often going empty.

It may not be a high-security system, but it is an effective way to limit tech-support calls. All too often a user will enter the wrong username, or worse for a old style bank uses account numbers, they'll type in the wrong account number. Then when their password doesn't work, they contact tech support, normally by telephone.

So by showing them in image, they can easily spot that they've made a mistake. I suspect this image cuts their tech-support calls by at least 50%.

So it's not useless. It's quite useful.
I mean, I just think it makes the banks look bad/like they don't actually know how to secure a site.

7 tactics lean startups need to build great products
I want to see if these are real, but I don't want people knocking on my door tomorrow morning.
There's certainly innovation taking place in enterprise sales, but don't discard the "old school" just because it isn't new. Many of the largest companies you can think of are "old school". Traditional enterprise sales is high touch relationship building with millions of dollars at stake. And it isn't the cold call BS boiler room stuff that people think of when they think of enterprise sales.

The best enterprise salespeople become great friends with their potential clients. They know what schools their clients' kids are going to, where they went on vacation, and who they need to introduce them to. They know when a client's birthday is and which restaurant she's eating at to call and pick up the tab. They know how a client takes their coffee and what their favorite drink is. They show up with hard to get theater or game tickets. They're sincerely invested in the success of the client. The client isn't a "mark" to them. Clients are friends and you'd never do anything to hurt your friend. In many ways, a great enterprise salesperson becomes the advocate for your customers inside your company, pushing you to create a better product because they never want to let their friends down. Great enterprise salespeople know how to ask for money because they understand the value they're delivering and also when to comp something. They know how to say sorry and they know how to keep a valuable customer.

The fact is that this kind of selling is hard to scale. However, it's worth it at less scale because the account sizes are usually quite large. Your best enterprise salesperson is like a Zappos account rep on steroids. Clients feel great and they give you the chance to build a product that they love and recommend to other large account holders.

This isn't for everyone. You should probably be in a market where you can make $100,000 per year from a client (you'll probably be making the client $500k+ per year and you'll need a product that lots of clients need) to employ an "old school" strategy. And it should be said that there are bad enterprise sales people. They'll abuse your clients, make you develop the wrong features, and some won't sell a damn thing because they're better at selling themselves than they are at serving clients.

Great old school enterprise salespeople combined with a top-notch product is a killer combo. If you find a few techniques that help you sell more, that's great. Just don't be in a hurry to avoid building a real relationship with valuable enterprise clients. If you're easy to switch to, you're easy to switch from.

This could work if security questions (not the best form of security by itself) are asked if the request comes from a "not previously used" computer. So that way, if the phishing site is sending a request on my behalf, they would have to answer my challenge questions (w/o human intervention i.e.) before getting to the image... that kinda makes life harder for an attacker.. of course the logic of identifying the "first time you are using this machine" thing needs to be non-stupid (for lack of a better word)
"You appear to be arguing that police are intrinsically more likely to lie, but this study doesn't support that, it actually supports the quote you are trying to refute."

I actually wasn't arguing that cops are more intrinsically likely to lie, only that they are more likely to lie. Although I do also believe that they are probably more intrinsically likely to lie. Why? I think you're right that of the non-police population, many would lie if they became cops due to the extrinsic incentives to lie. At the same time though, people who aren't comfortable lying about their current/past drug use are effectively banned from becoming cops. So while the study might not prove that cops are more intrinsically likely to lie per se, the fact that there is a significant disparity suggests to me that it's highly likely that part of that disparity is due to differences in who decides to be a cop. And, if it is the case that some significant portion of that disparity is due to selection factors, which seems likely, then my it would be accurate to say that they are intrinsically more likely to lie.
