Re: How I made two ridiculous iOS 10 sticker packs for Messages without any coding experience

someToast — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 17:17:35 -0000

I made a sticker pack to see how the process worked and because I had a bunch of Trump heads laying around in Photoshop that I had cut out for Donald and Hobbes submissions.

There’s no way I was putting it up for sale. Creating parody works is one thing, selling someone else’s photos is another.

I did this same thing — with the same no-blank-apple-icon-disapointment — a week after getting my 6, to emulate the home screen layout from my 5. : D

Also, you can’t use an iPod to operate nuclear facilities or air traffic control systems.

I was in the last of the Woz episodes. Spent a day shooting. He did have a tendency to... drift somewhat.

Re: Apple's iTunes Match: The First Royalties Are In

“Each and every time the consumer either re-downloads or streams a song he or she already has, copyright holders get paid.”

Is that the case for re-downloading? I don’t pay for iTunes Match, but I have taken advantage of the (new, gratefully-welcomed) ability to re-download previous iTunes purchases. If royalties are being paid in that case, where’s the money coming from?

Finally revealed, terms such as "19A0s" can now be searched for and uncovered in countless seemingly innocuous documents archived online, exposing them as critical ciphertexts of the movement.

Countless seemingly-innocuous documents that are victims of poor OCR (not that a search was necessary to figure that out).

“ God, I am so appalled, not to mention horrified that anyone would think that's what I wrote. I'd really appreciate it if you would forward this to your romance reading friends…”

A typo in the ebook version of the book (not the printed version, thank god, according to Amazon), in a paragraph perfectly composed for maximum hilarity and repostability? Kudos.

In Cyril Kornbluth's 1951 story The Marching Morons (Which gave Robocop its "I'd buy that for a dollar!" line and has the same core premise as Idocracy), future cars would erupt in a pointless shower of sparks and loud, pre-recorded engine noises when you'd hit the accelerator.

Maybe we could jump the gun on that one by a few years for people missing the sounds of the race when they go EV.

All that computing power could be put to work ensuring that no one anywhere is having fun. Some kind of global dream-crushing apparatus, perhaps.
