I am a person, and I buy from a corporation. And just because I buy from a corporation doesn't mean the employees have the right to treat me like shit. Corporations I've bought from almost always have provisions where if the corporation treats you poorly and fails to live up to the expectations they set then you get an even-handed response to your complaint and the corporation attempts to repair the relationship with the customer and institute changes to avoid such a situation in the future.
Of course, whenever she loses her job (voluntarily or involuntarily), I'm sure there's a golden parachute that will deploy and she'll be set for life either way.
Even with Yahoo's stock tanking, Marissa Mayer doesn'tneed a golden parachute to be set for life.
Supporting old versions in the consumer market costs them money. They don't want to spend that money.
Then Microsoft should have thought that through before they published a support policy that provides for extended support into 2020 (Win 7) and 2023 (Win 8). I don't care if Microsoft wants to lower their costs after the fact; I bought and installed Win 7 based on its published lifecycle, and thus my lowered cost of upgrading. Microsoft's desire to push users to Windows 10 does not trump paid customers' right to utilize their Windows 7 and 8 systems until the published end of support dates. Microsoft should neither be nagging customers or trying to force upgrades.
CGI technology and video game rendering have merged to the point that large sections of CGI-heavy films have the rhythm and look of a video game. This may be pleasing to those weaned on video games as their visual storytelling medium, but to those brought up on physical visual effects, it's distracting.
ut if you do run an older version of Windows - one that's going to stop being updated - it's going to remind you regularly to upgrade to the current version.
End of extended support for Win7 is January 2020; Win8 in 2023. No one needs to be nagged for five years.
Not only does this VR simulation give you a 3-D view of how the Patriots cheat, it also puts you in the room as the NFL figures out a way to lightly slap the goose without interrupting the production of golden eggs.
Why anyone would give a newspaper's comment platform their real name and e-mail address is beyond me. Make up a name, use a burner e-mail account from mailinator.com and don't worry about unintelligent boobs retroactively deciding to out you. Next time you're asked for your name and e-mail address, ask yourself how much you trust the service who's asking, and what value there is to you in providing accurate information.
and the "JPG not RAW" is just for workflow-related reasons.
But it's not "JPG not RAW," it's "originally JPG." If it's workflow-related, and the input to Reuters needs to be JPG, why would they care whether the JPG conversion took place in the camera or in off-camera RAW-to-JPG software?
Uber and its peers have significantly improved the experience of per-ride paid transportation:
- Hail by app.
- Identify the car and driver that will pick you up.
- Track the car as it comes to pick you up.
- Price estimate from the company before you get in the car.
- Pay by pre-registered credit card.
- Provide feedback to company and other customers.
These items improve upon calling a dispatcher who may or may not answer, having an unidentified car sent to pick you up. having no idea where the car is or whether it will actually arrive, not knowing the price until your trip is complete (and having to haggle with drivers who add extra fees that may or may not apply to your trip), finding a taxi's credit card reader "broken," and not being able to hold drivers accountable for the condition of their car or the quality of their service.

This exploit would allow [the NSA and CIA] to get around any security measures and get into the target’s iPhone to intercept calls, messages, and access data stored in the phone.
The NSA and CIA are going to circumvent technological measures in contravention of the DMCA? Does the FBI know about this?

Expect the Republicans to... shut this down! Their kind hates music.
No they don't. They love to co-opt music whose meaning they don't understand and use it without permission at political rallies.

You'd think a branch of "don't be evil" would be working to reduce that.
They're actually a branch of "Do the Right Thing."

CMU's statement is so full of non-denials and red herrings that a first-year philosophy student wouldn't be fooled.
Mess with football betting, and the Democrats will finally be put out to pasture.
No one said that you can't bet on football in New York. You just need lay your bets with friends, colleagues or your local bookie.

Unless you can come up with Facebook content that people want.

What if I buy a Prime-capable device, but I'm not a Prime customers. Won't I be confused?
As I remember, and it's been awhile now so you'll have to excuse me if my memory isn't what it used to be, that's how you restart the system.
What spy features?
Cyanide cigarette, tape recorder camera, dagger shoe, garrote watch, underwater jet pack, oil slick tail pipe.
Most bachelors curriculum include a lot of extraneous requirements and electives having little or nothing to do with the job.
They can make you more interesting (or at least tolerable) as a co-worker.
Although the technology is patented, the source code itself is not disclosed by any patent and cannot be derived from any publicly disclosed source.
If the patent doesn't disclose the invention in sufficient detail for it to be reproduced by someone skilled in the arts, is the patent valid?
Now hotels will have a legal way to jam your personal hotspot!
Are you saying that Stephen King is married to Michelle Bachmann?
Not married in the traditional Western sense. It's more of a matrilineal clanship union.
I guess if you've dropped "don't be evil" and adopted "do the right thing," the answer is pretty clear.
