I find it ironic that this is about citations and it costs $36 just to read. So if you wanted to cite this and somebody wanted to verify they would have to spend another $36.

Guestimate? There's already a real word for that (estimate). Is it automagic too?

> I find it funny that all of the videos have Copyright complaints, because I listen to a lot of music while coding. Pretty ridiculous especially with private videos. I would definitely shop the upload to YouTube part if I tried this.

That's pretty much what mugshots are. Companies already slurp up those mugshots and publish them and extort those arrested to pay to take them down.

You mean c2sup? Either way I create unnecessary confusion to save typing one character? Not worth it. I'm not a fan of i18n but at least it has a purpose.

This is getting ridiculous. Ketchup is only 3 letters longer and where the hell does the s come from? If you expect my to pronounce it ketchup then spell it correctly. Otherwise I'm calling it k 3 sup.

So you haven't heard of them commingling inventory? There is no way to stop counterfeiting with that so no, they aren't trying at all.

I have a couple. Constantly trying to get you to sign up for prime it their credit card. They show you the prime free 2 day shipping even when you don't have prime to trick you into signing up. They also do something similar where they

Why are they even allowed to make you type your email address? I used different email addresses for everything I sign up for so I have to go back to the email to see what I used. Very inconvenient.

What do companies feel entitled to keep profiting from content they made over a decade ago? Copyright lasts way too long IMO.

I'm not sure what "the whole 'deter theft'" thing is but 'deter theft' sounds like a marketing gimmick to me. You give some corporation your keys to hold for you because you can't trust yourself. Why

Thanks for clarifying. The only part missing is being able to do this yourself instead of having to involve a third party.

It's so you can treat your phone like that computer it actually is. I don't know about iPhones but on Android for example, I can edit the hosts file.

Are you serious? People are okay with this? What's the point of encryption if Apple can unlock it? If the same thing happens on an encrypted computer you won't be able to access the data, but at least the device isn't bricked

I agree. I have had rooted androids ever since I bought my first smart phone. I have never had an app refuse to load but that would piss me off. I want root access to my phone just like every other computer that I own. The root user is lite

That's pretty bad and another reason I can't stand artificial scarcity. I think information itself should be free. There are other ways to make money off of it. It's trivial to transfer TBs of data. Any laws and rules you com

I get your point but I'm guessing it's based on assumed context. The headline is implying they assume that everyone just assumes the FBI can do whatever they want to with your phone. But it turns out they can't even look at t

How many citizens outside of people who understand tech actually understand how big of a deal it was? Also, the media hardly covered it and pretty much presented him as a traitor every time they did. What percent of the U.S. population woul
