USAT: Justice Department to withdraw legal action against Apple. Outside hacking proved successful. Antibody Mar 28, 15:36

yeah I don't know why they needed Apple...I assumed they had a long list of captured hackers to choose from =P {nm} tealfan Mar 28, 18:26

So much for Apple's much trumpeted security. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 29, 01:33

do you not understand there are a finite number of 4-digit PIN code combinations on EVERY phone that can be brute forced, right? BSmurf Mar 29, 07:32

My understanding is that Apple's security measures meant that the phone bricks and blocks access to data after a very limited number of RogerMore Mar 29, 08:12

You're correct in that sense. The workaround "hack" was a brute force attack by cloning the phone and testing PIN combinations BSmurf Mar 29, 08:37

Ah, I see. Thanks {nm} RogerMore Mar 29, 10:50

That's just conjecture considering the actual method used is 'classified'. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 29, 15:14

Of course, there's suspicion that they did NOT get the phone hacked... just saving face while making Apple's security claims look weak. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Mar 29, 15:26

Absolute garbage if one can discriminate against or fire for some supposed "sincerely held beliefs". Period. {nm} islander Mar 28, 09:39

I don't agree with the firing aspect; however, are you saying businesses should never be able to refuse services to another? RollingThunder Mar 28, 09:51

As I understand it, that's not the controversial part of the bill. Of course religious orgs should be able to decline to perform same-sex RogerMore Mar 28, 10:11

I agree with your very well-written points. On that level, I do see how people would abuse the real intent of the Bill. RollingThunder Mar 28, 10:16

if they are a public business, the law is clear that they can't discriminate {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 28, 11:07

Anti-discrimination laws protect against discrimination based on certain grounds, such as gender, race, sexuality and religion. RogerMore Mar 28, 10:19

To clarify - Content of good required is ok to descriminate upon, purpose/ultimate use of said good not ok to descriminate based on? shadowking Mar 28, 10:41

No, you can discriminate based on content too. "Sorry, we don't stock male-male cake toppers and I won't order them in" is discrimination. RogerMore Mar 28, 12:55

By "you can discriminate based on content", I mean "discriminating based on content is not OK either" {nm} RogerMore Mar 28, 13:10

I assume the goal of the bill is to alter/ammend existing anti-discrimination law, so falling back on those laws as a criteria for shadowking Mar 28, 15:22

My understanding is that this bill wouldn't specifically alter any laws, but it includes a general provision that says something like... RogerMore Mar 28, 16:49

That is not a correct comparison DeanB Mar 28, 10:26

Sadly, this kind of thing has been happening for a long time. The Bill would just allow them to be blunt with their denial of services. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 28, 10:29

i dont think the issues in your first inside line come up much. If that did happen to me, I'd make them but might spit in their cupcakes ;) islander Mar 28, 14:15

At the risk of generalising it seems that a significant percentage of Americans still have a very deep puritanical streak that most of us... hyperzeitgeist Mar 28, 10:20

Thankfully, that percentage is declining annually. {nm} BSmurf Mar 28, 10:50

Europe exorcised all that by shipping the puritanical religious types to North America. DTravel Mar 28, 12:53
