With the anti-net neutrality people the new administration is putting in place in the FCC advisory committee, they just need to stall for a few months and it'll blow over. Then they can continue their anti-competitive ways in peace.
This. If this was in any other normal election cycle against a normal opponent, this would be hugely detrimental to Clinton and would cost her supporters and party investment. However, against Pussygate headlines and an imploding Republican party, it's not even enough to crack front page news.
Good observation! This has clearly been a strategy for awhile, and has many benefits: - Slowly keep the flames going over a preiod of time rather than have a big flare-up and burn-out all at once - Give little pieces to particular influencers in the media to make friends so that big names are more likely to post positive reviews - Get the biggest controversial pieces out there earlier (read: removing headphone jack) so that by the time the actually reveal is announced, it's old news that people have had a chance to chew on and accept, rather than have it surprise and anger them at the reveal (a la Kübler-Ross stages of acceptance) - Keep everyone's eyes on the big reveal date - Gets great press and PR and costs almost nothing, because it;s more fun for news blogs to post about hot rumors than press releases
In other words, it's a great marketing and PR strategy that works and is cheap.
I'm totally guessing here, but I would assume this was able to be captured because he has a separate machine for gaming vs. streaming so that the streaming software would not take CPU cycles from the game. It could also mean that when he said he "turned everything off," he did so for the streaming PC, but maybe not the gaming PC.
Part of me wants to say it's his own damn fault, thought who knows, Windows seems to have no problem changing its own settings after updates.

I don't think it is illegal to record police in the open, but that doesn't stop a lot of cops from intimidating citizens into stopping and attempting to confiscate / delete said recordings, especially if the cop did what this guy did. And if it comes to it, it takes a lot more courage to respectfully decline an intimidating request from a man in uniform holding a gun who just shot another man in the back. It didn't happen in this case, but I wonder in how many similar cases police have deleted such recordings? It seems to be standard practice for certain cops.
I think BBC may take the opportunity to just clean house and bring in a new set of 3 hosts. The chemistry that those 3 had was great, so just lugging in a new replacement with the 2 remaining would be a disaster. But it could work with a set of 3 completely new hosts.
Also, I'm betting this was just the last straw with BBC, not the first offense. In the show, Jeremy would constantly make reference to the fact that he was doing things his way and not how producers wanted him to do it... which likely was not always the joke people thought it was. The irreverence to the BBC and its producers was a big part of the show's popularity, but was probably also a thorn in the BBC's side. I await more Stigs driving tanks in protest but don't think it will matter.
tldr; Jeremy kept pissing off BBC so they're probably happy to be rid of him, ratings be damned. We'll all miss him.
They seem to be asking for all of this, but I wonder which subset of these they actually expect to get. If they ask for 10 unreasonable things but only get one, will we celebrate, or mourn the loss of one more civil right to privacy?
Don't mod this guy down. He's at least going by the definition from wikipedia (or a similar reference material), which states:A planet (from Ancient Greek (astr plants), meaning "wandering star") is an astronomical object orbiting a star or stellar remnant that (1) is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, (2) is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and (3) has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.
I'm sure what this article is calling a Planet meets these 3 criteria but do not meet the "circling a star or stellar remnant" apparent pre-requisite. What I cannot tell you is whether or not Wikipedia is wrong about that "needing to orbit a star" bit - I'm sure someone will respond with a reference defending or refuting that point.

Depends on the terms of the contract and how it was marketed. There is now precedent, so feel free to go after them if this has happened to you

- Give little pieces to particular influencers in the media to make friends so that big names are more likely to post positive reviews
- Get the biggest controversial pieces out there earlier (read: removing headphone jack) so that by the time the actually reveal is announced, it's old news that people have had a chance to chew on and accept, rather than have it surprise and anger them at the reveal (a la Kübler-Ross stages of acceptance)
- Keep everyone's eyes on the big reveal date

That's because the default pin for 75% of Bluetooth locks is either 0000 or 1234.
Wait... maybe it is. Would this count as Earth's 2nd moon / moonlet rather than an asteroid, if it's in natural stable orbit around the Earth?
Exactly! Exploding Vapes is not a bug, it's an (evolutionary) feature!
Audio streaming services, such as Pandora, Spotify, iTunes Radio and such.
Usually when I'm looking for info on Subarus and Pizzas, I get ads for Fords and Chinese food, because that's how targeted advertising works.
Agreed... and in that case of a said controlled network environment, they should probably be running Windows Enterprise Edition anyway.

Yeah, they're really gonna throw the book at them. After they've gone to booking. They'd better book it.

I thought it took this long for the copyright to finally expire.

How about leaving Windows 8.1 on it? The device you have is the very device 8.1 was designed around. Linux will be clunky compared to it.
