The chain restaurants provide edible food and nothing else. <br /><br />Did find a neat Greek place, good food and a friendly atmosphere missing at the chains. <br /><br />Things are getting a bit pricey in the Denver Metro area. Housing leading the charge. If your selling and leaving the area you stand to do well. If your looking for housing, a bit difficult as inventory is low in moist good areas.<br />loumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882146154150499756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-53820036194043264282016-02-21T08:57:10.615-08:002016-02-21T08:57:10.615-08:00That's too bad.

I kinda like the area too, lotta nice stuff nearby, and a TON of ice rinks. I've heard mixed stuff about the LDS that run the spectrum from not being welcoming to anyone BUT other LDS, to being friendly. I've also heard the SLC is about 50/50 now, it's definitely controlled by the LDS, but otherwise is a more tolerant place to live than might be expected. I think it's a pretty cool city. If I could make similar wages as an NP there as I could here, I would strongly consider moving there, but salaries across the board in all fields are way way under what they are elsewhere.

I agree with Funky, I believe they already have the ability to hack the phone, but are using the emotion of this situation to force Apple to give them the ability to easily hack whatever phone they want and possibly, to do so without getting a court order down the road. <br /><br />The gun nuts have already done their part to claim that people on the no fly list should not be denied the right to have guns, where's the libertarians on this issue?Max Yasgurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816449822816423030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-80561485869575759052016-02-19T15:56:32.420-08:002016-02-19T15:56:32.420-08:00pple's reasonable technical assistance shall a... pple's reasonable technical assistance shall accomplish the following three important functions: (1) it will bypass or disable the auto-erase function whether or not it has been enabled; (2) it will enable the FBI to submit passcodes to the SUBJECT DEVICE for testing electronically via the physical device port, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other protocol available on the SUBJECT DEVICE and (3) it will ensure that when the FBI submits passcodes to the SUBJECT DEVICE, software running on the device will not purposefully introduce any additional delay between passcode attempts beyond what is incurred by Apple hardware.<br /><br /> Apple's reasonable technical assistance may include, but is not limited to: providing the FBI with a signed iPhone Software file, recovery bundle, or other Software Image File ("SIF") that can be loaded onto the SUBJECT DEVICE. The SIF will load and run from Random Access Memory and will not modify the iOS on the actual phone, the user data partition or system partition on the device's flash memory. The SIF will be coded by Apple with a unique identifier of the phone so that the SIF would only load and execute on the SUBJECT DEVICE. The SIF will be loaded via Device Firmware Upgrade ("DFU") mode, recovery mode, or other applicable mode available to the FBI. Once active on the SUBJECT DEVICE, the SIF will accomplish the three functions specified in paragraph 2. The SIF will be loaded on the SUBJECT DEVICE at either a government facility, or alternatively, at an Apple facility; if the latter, Apple shall provide the government with remote access to the SUBJECT DEVICE through a computer allowing the government to conduct passcode recovery analysis.<br /><br /> If Apple determines that it can achieve the three functions stated above in paragraph 2, as well as the functionality set forth in paragraph 3, using an alternate technological means from that recommended by the government, and the government concurs, Apple may comply with this Order in that way. <br /><br />The order also sets out that:<br /><br /> To the extent that Apple believes that compliance with this Order would be unreasonably burdensome, it may make an application to this Court for relief within five business days of receipt of the Order. loumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882146154150499756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-3023745363050718102016-02-19T14:40:13.082-08:002016-02-19T14:40:13.082-08:00And they can, and apparently have, get a court ord...And they can, and apparently have, get a court order requiring Apple to assist.

On Wednesday, Trump fired his own volley.<br /><br />The leading Republican presidential candidate appeared on "Fox And Friends" and expressed disbelief that Apple would argue with a court order, Politico reported.<br /><br />"Who do they think they are? They have to open it up," Trump said. "I think security, overall, we have to open it up and we have to use our heads. We have to use common sense."<br /><br />Trump's new slogan is that he's a "common-sense conservative." However, Cook apparently considers it common sense to preserve -- as he said in open letter on Apple's website -- "the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12064694227628006142noreply@blogger.com
