Unique Data Item Descriptor
- jahewson 14y agoNo...
- sbuk 14y agoCorrect me then, don't just downvote. And try not to be so patronising.
- biot 14y agoYou presented information which was wrong, thus the downvotes. Man up and take responsibility for your post rather than expecting others to correct your lack of research. Next time, don't guess what it means; look it up and present the correct information with a reference: http://www.google.com/search?q=udid+site:developer.apple.com http://www.google.com/search?q=udid+site:developer.apple.com

- sbuk 14y agoMan up. WTF? Grow up perhaps...
- mikeash 14y agoThree seconds on Google would correct you, or would have prevented you from spreading disinformation in the first place.
- sbuk 14y agoSpreading disinformation? Hardly. The same could be said to the OP.
- mikeash 14y agoI love how your last sentence contradicts the first two. "I wasn't spreading disinformation! And anyway, the OP was spreading disinformation too!" Making an incorrect claim is spreading disinformation, plain and simple. Is it a big deal? No. But that's what it is. As for the OP doing it too, that's no defense.
- sbuk 14y agoDisinformation implies wilful, and to a lesser extent malicious. I made an honest mistake and get patronised and abused. I claimed nothing, I merely offered an answer, which happened to be incorrect. Being human, I make mistakes. FTR, Unique Data Item Description is what the military use the acronym UDID for, I made an innocent assumption. So I was hardly making false statements, as you claim. Seeings as the second point sailed over your head, I'll spell it out. I proffered and answer without being patronising and snarky, I could've said to the OP "Google it...", but I made an effort to be a decent member of the community. What's your excuse?
- mikeash 14y agoSee, nobody really cares that you got it wrong initially. What's annoying everybody, or at least me, is the extremely un-gracious way you handled being corrected. Instead of just looking it up, finding the answer, and saying thanks, you basically go nuts at everyone.

- jahewson 14y agoFWIW I didn't downvote. Another user already answered the question correctly, so a longer reply seemed redundant, but I wanted them to know which of the two answers was correct. I agree that wrong information does not necessarily merit a downvote, but it's to be expected.
