The reality of the modern age of computing...computers are going to be better at a lot of games than humans. Period. Just accept it now. Some games may take longer to match and exceed human capability, but it will eventually happen.
The Russian government should develop their own distro and should call Vladimix.
Joke aside, it makes sense that that Russian government would want to, and should, switch away from Microsoft Windows; ensuring one's data security is important.
Really? And where exactly is one to find that much raw material for batteries? REMs are not all that cheap, and as demand goes up, the fact that China controls 95% of the world market is going to bite them in the ass.
Yes, it is a very real possibility that a trip to McDonald's may mean pushing a few buttons and a machine delivered your food to the counter. That kind of automation will mean the loss of less educated workers, but it will create an opportunity for a new class of workers that will be trained in the installation, operation, and maintenance of such systems.
In other words, those that can succeed, will succeed. Those that will succeed will be further filtered out from the society.
One might think their tax revenue service might know what the citizens are making. No need to burden the citizens with inane questions, just go ask your government accountants.
"25% of tax payers ended up pay 0%, sir, and 50% of those saw a redistribution assistance." Cross reference said non-tax payers with the postal codes and voila. You know how many poor you have and where they live.
The NSA spying was bad, you won't see me defending it.
Google Ads remembering that I was shopping for sexy panties for my wife and then seeing those ads while at work caused a bit of embarrassment. Yes, also a touch invasive.
And they should both be stopped.
I fail to see how pointing out other actions of evil justify a government mandating the turning over of such private information. Did I miss something in your rant?
A government forcing you declare your religion, or if you own guns, etc is an invasion.
The onerous nature of the questions lead to massive violations of privacy. NO citizen of any country should ever be compelled by force of law to reveal the private information of their lives. The government has ZERO right to know anything beyond the fact that I am alive and paying my taxes per the law. They don't need to know my skin color, my religion, what I do for a living, etc, etc.
The information they want to gather will only lead to the further degradation of the privacy of the citizens.
If this becomes common practice among all of the malware checkers, then I can retire my PowerShell script that remotely uninstalls this bastard software.
"Nine of the 13 states increased their minimum wages automatically in line with inflation: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. Four more states - Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island - approved legislation mandating the increase"
Correlation really does not indicate causality when you read the entire article. North Dakota has an oil boom, which is spiking employment. Ohio still grew, despite a MW of $7.95. The whole complaint by the CBO was that jobs would be lost if MW was increased to $10.10 across the ENTIRE COUNTRY. In these 13 states, most are no where close to $10.10/hr.
Note to junk mailers: I use your mailings to start my evening fire-circle fire. They never get read. Ever.
Apparently someone is opening and reading the junk, and replying, or the junk mailers would not continue paying for it. But who are these people? Do you honestly think that the mostly-unmarked mail from an address you don't know, with URGENT being the only identifier...is anything but junk mail?
Sure, you can believe them that 7.5 million have enrolled. It comes down to how you define 'enrolled', which the government defines as "someone put an insurance choice in their electronic kart." That would be like CDW saying they sold 100,000 LaserJet printers, just because someone placed one into their basket. The reality is that that majority of the insurance plans placed into the insurance basket was never completed. And of those that did complete the process, many never paid their first premium, which ultimately gives us a much smaller number of ACTUALLY INSURED people via ObamaCare.
And how many are actually paying and thus covered? Less than 1 million.
...my apologies for the stupidity and protectionism being displayed by the auto dealers in my state. Ohio has enough problem without something this stupid.
At first, it as purely anti-beta. But Dice's response to censor posts and ignore community opinion has made the problem anti-Dice. They seem to have no clue about PR, or nerds, or even effective web page design. Taking queues from healthcare.gov for how to design your own web site a Bad Thing (tm).
Dice seems determined to go forward with new UI, regardless of community opinion, so the time has come for the codefork.
I feel sorry for the 15,000 workers about lose their job, Dell is walking a thin line and Michael wants to make sure that the company that bears his name stays around. Dell has become a bloated pig and unfocused. They are also not responding to customers demands where they should and expanding into markets that support their core strengths.
Unless Amazon has injected their workers against their will, no one is forcing these people to work there. They knew what they were signing up for, agreed to the contract and now begin to complain that "its just not fair, we want more money."
Tough noogies. You signed a contract, you accepted the wage. Quit and work somewhere else if you are so ungrateful to have a paying job.
I expected more from this age group. With all of the awareness of shrinking natural resources, why anyone would choose printed books and their inherent danger to the environment. But, who cares that trees are cut down, thus adding to global warming, as long as I can have the feel and smell in my hands.
I have a Jacob's Ladder on my workbench. My friends call me crazy or mad -- no, I am not angry -- but it is highly effective in disabling flash memory and such. And it makes this Bzzzt! sound that I love to hear.
Electric Cars are to blame for Tax-By-Distance. Electric Cars don't pay petrol taxes. As more electric cars hit the road, taxes collected from petrol will keep going down, as the number of cars total continues to rise. Electric car drivers think they are getting a free pass, but they are about to get a rude awakening once the governments figure out a tax them equally. Roads are not free. They cost a lot of money to build and maintain, and those fat pigs called Electric Cars weighing as much as an SUV do as much damage to the roads SUVs.

If speed was the most important factor for choosing software, I would be running Linux instead of Windows 10.

This youtube video answered most of my questions about the kilogram.
Windows 7 does this...without the metro UI, no less. Press the window key, start typing. Very efficient.
