When developing and testing new features/bugfixes? Unless the bug is directly tied to production data I have no idea why you would have to use production data for that. I'm not saying don't do it on a staging server, but you

It isn't an argument. DMGs are fine for development and testing and they can be made case-insensitive. Or you could just, you know, create a separate partition. If the DMG speed is too slow for development and running tests(not testing

That's a very weird view of things. Do you really think this rule exists without a reason? Why not just follow the rules and turn your devices off, it's not going to hurt you, but a crash could.

I'd assume he would. First of all it could be a risk not to and second, why wouldn't he?

Coding is nothing like literacy. You don't have to be able to code in order to live in a modern society but you have to be able to read and write. There is no, or very little, point for the majority of people to learn how to code.

A fingerprint is an identification, not a passphrase. On top of that a fingerprint is very easy to obtain (especially on an iPhone where it might even by ready available on the button that reads it). A PIN on the other hand is a passphrase.

Sure me and my friends talk shit about people that has been exposed doing stupid things on the internet, but we do it in private. We don't ridicule in public. I think that's the difference.

It's not that I don't see that happening but it's always from people I don't know and never talked to in real life or on the internet. I have this strong feeling it's a loud minority. It's the same with real bullying, the bullies think they

> Most of us are Internet bullies now, some of us more active than others. Yeah right. Most people I know aren't, and most people I discuss with online aren't either. I'd say the reality is that the blog author belongs to a minority of

It's not trivial to work with apache since it's an old bastard designed to run as a system service. It's fine for production but during development and testing it's a pain in the ass.

I know why politicians do that, but why do people do it here on ycombinator?

Taxes are higher, but you don't have to pay for private insurances, healthcare etc. to the same extent. I don't know why people keep bringing up the level of taxes, it's not important or interesting. What's important is how big part of your

I don't know. I mean, if you feel Oracle treated you like shit you can behave like this if you want to. To be the bigger man can be noble and all but blowing off some steam is pretty healthy.

Oh please. You can't just make up your own definitions of words and then use those definitions in discussions. There is a definition of what a company is, and it's not 'people it consists of'. The wikipedia article about Company is actually

A company has no feelings, no concept of regret or remorse, it simply lacks consciousness. Without this you cannot have morality. A chair, an action, not even an animal can be moral or immoral.

Companies are not some organic-made-out-of-people creatures. Where did you get that idea? Seriously, why do you think that?

A company can't be immoral, no more than an axe can be immoral.

Here we reserve that for when the president, secretary of state or someone relevant in foreign affairs says or does something, not a prosecutor.

It doesn't work like that in the USA either, does it? If a official of the government, say a judge in a city, does something do you have headlines saying USA did it?

Patent trolls are not the problem, the problem are the laws and structures that makes it possible for them to exist. For a company it's perfectly fine to do whatever it takes to make money, it's up to society to prevent companies to do that

Here in Sweden they've converted some of them to wifi accesspoints, and some got a phone re-installed. I like that, that's clever.

Governments does not really need to care for other governments laws, that's the difference. So it's neither illegal or a crime as long as a foreign government is concerned. And yes, governments and borders go hand in hand.

What do you mean? First of all that was Germany, so 'EU governments' does not apply in that case. Second it is a big difference between buying information about your citizens and selling information about you citizens.
