Yo wont get the "stroppy bastards" who actually hold the executives toes to the fire.

It takes only a few hours for it to reach 600 or 700 meg of ram and get stroppy, then it wants a fricking minute plus to actually close. It's quite annoying.

Though to a certain extent, kids just get stroppy if they don't get their way, and sometimes they just need to learn to deal. Which sucks for everyone involved in the short-term, but oh well.

The government gets stroppy if I make a mistake because they expect me to be a corporation. - I have to submit year end accounting.

Not that combined group didn't have some structural issues and some less than stellar board members - needed some stroppy buggers like me on there.

Linux/GPL people have always been stroppy. Making sure everyone has the latest version is a hard enough problem even without politics.

The same people who take this approach to hiring then complain when developers get stroppy about only working on specific skills that will get them their next, better-paid, job.

Sorry, I meant "if there are sufficiently stroppy senior developers who can knock some sense into the other developers, it is almost never the programmers who decide to incur technical debt". But, sadly, even that isn't true.

I remember a few years ago when Allan Day joined and the community got stroppy saying he was going to turn it into a mobile touch OS, it was absolutely the right thing to hire him and double down on understanding the why of the UX and not just painting a pig. Really great to see Gnome 3 and Ubuntu looking so good

I feel that a more sensible approach such as ours would have been better served - as coop members tend to be stroppy bastards and would have stood up for the common good - a lot of our ISP side in Manchester where members of alt 2600 .

It's also worth pointing out that whilst they didn't let me do that - and disagreements between stroppy teenagers and their parents are hardly unique - they did help me in a lot of other ways, and made plenty of sacrifices for my benefit, for which I will always be grateful.

If the baseband has direct memory access, they should be able to grab any cryptographic key off the phones without Apple or the user ever noticing, that is unless Apple has been getting stroppy lately about who gets to talk on their PCI bus.
