It's not an upgrade unless I agree it is an upgrade.
Is it an upgrade when an airline tells you that ONE of your TWO Economy seats has been switched to First Class when your traveling companion is your 6 year old child?
Someone can be worthy of keeping an eye on without their having broken the law. Most of the mass shootings have not been committed by people who broke the law prior to the shooting. If nothing can be done (i.e. the FBI looks and says 'nothing to see here' and forgets about them) until the law is broken then they might as well stop trying.
...so, all this is useless since the FBI can't do anything until the shooter does something. Which this guy didn't do until last week. At which point it was too late.
If having your friends and family report you to the FBI isn't suspicious enough then the FBI should just stop already. These guys don't break the law until they're ready to go.
This is not true. Employers enforce non-competes to keep competitors from sucking away their workers and driving wages up, regardless of how you conduct yourself at your new job.
Well it started out as an Optional Update. Then it became a Recommended Update. Next it will become a Critical Update. And finally an Unavoidable Update.
screen is a program that explicitly survives logging out and let's you reconnect later. It's the pure terminal version of vnc.
How many "multi user" systems are left anymore anyway? Practically every machine I log into these days is dedicated to my personal use. Just because I've logged out doesn't mean that it isn't supposed to still be working for me.
Doesn't matter if you agreed to it or not. Microsoft would need to appear in small claims court to assert its claim that you had agreed not to go to small claims court and make a motion to dismiss.
I don't know how Ms Obama's year off turned into some sort of "gap year" festivus. It's obvious that she's taking a year off only because it's a presidential election year. I'd want to avoid being part of a circus as well if I had a choice (which she does and I don't begrudge her it).
For normal people a gap year is just masturbation. Your adult life starts at age 15, no more coasting.
And does corporate policy require that you clean off your desk and lock everything into its drawers every night as well? "A tidy desk is the sign of an empty mind!"
Someone doing the equivalent of office piecework can shutdown every night. Some of us have multiple on-going projects going on all the time. I am NOT going to open dozens of windows every morning. Applications get closed when I'm done with them, not before.
It's called up talking? and it's quite annoying? you know? Like you are pretty insecure? and not sure of yourself? it's almost as bad as ending every sentence on a giggle?
So that silly myth that they teach in schools, the one that suggests "society's" in charge... you actually believed that shit?!
I know, right? I have no problem with copyright being issued for a limited time and yet somehow the copyright period gets longer and longer and when was the last time something ended up in the public domain?
Someone has unilaterally altered the bargain and we shouldn't need to pray that they don't alter it further.
Ah, the old "criminals don't have rights" point of view, which depends upon the belief that "we only investigate criminals" or similarly "we only investigate / target the guilty"

But do you really want to watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture's first hour at normal speed?
Or exactly how he plans on the US filing for bankruptcy.
Where exactly did I say arrest?

Exactly.
I saw better code written by sophomores at college than we got out of India. All that code was eventually discarded since it was total crap.

Because they are remote headless systems and I don't need to stay connected to them in order for them to do the stuff I want them to do?
You have no idea what you are talking about.

or you could use a state-of-the-art ML recommender system that tells you which shows were highly rated by people who rated shows like you do.
Using Average ratings to represent how good a show is so.... Golden Age of Television-ish? Welcome to the age of personalized recommendations.

Everything's a spectator sport: sleeping, eating, sexing, pissing and shitting included.
a fast boot does not replace resuming from exactly where you left off.
and....?
"Not now" is still the same thing as "NO dammit!"
i.e. No means no. NO three times does mean Yes.

You must have a good imagination. Clipper chip never actually happened. It was still born.

If that was true then they wouldn't need to try to strong arm ISPs into doing this, because the court judgment could just include this.

A quite controvertible non-fact.
