Comment Re: Why was the older version better? (Score 1) 75

Many years ago I experienced what seems to have been a bit flip. Newly compiled C programs on our VAX 11/750 running 4.2BSD Unix suddenly stopped working. It turned out that this was due to an error in the file locore.o, with which they were all linked. The installed version of locore.o differed from a freshly assembled one in a single bit of a single byte. The source file locore.s had not been changed nor had the object file been reassembled. The incorrect bit appears to have arisen spontaneously.

Comment In what sense can't Apple do anything? (Score 1) 140

I find it hard to believe that Apple is technically unable to fix this. Presumably there is a data structure that contains the information about who is in charge of the account and they can edit it. If so, is the problem that they are afraid the ex-husband will sue them for breach of contract? I would think that the custody order would provide a good defense. What exactly is Apple's reason for saying they can't fix this?
