Anything that involves letting the general public interact with your business model is fucking scary. How exactly is Valve -- or Apple, or Microsoft, or anyone else -- supposed to do that without going overboard in one direction or the other?
If they exercise too much "accountability," as you put it, people will accuse them of being Nazi plantation owners who want to lock developers and customers alike into their walled garden. Not enough "accountability?" Then people will complain that their store is a garbage fire. How can they possibly make everyone happy?
Microsoft is convinced that the name "Windows" actually carries some goodwill with consumers. Where they got that idea must be one of the best-kept secrets in the business world. The only time most people have ever heard of "Windows" is when their computer breaks and they have to call someone to fix it, either at work or at home.
The "Windows" brand has negative consumer value. Until someone at Microsoft wakes up and realizes that, they will continue to churn out flop after flop, from mobile phones to locked-down iPad competitors.
I'd just use an IR camera, myself. No need to put the sensor on the baby itself. As long as the baby's temperature isn't changing in an unexpected way, there's nothing wrong with it.
I expect the casino to be a little more savvy than the average rube.
If I walk into a baccarat room and complain that they aren't using my favorite Frobozz Magic Playing Cards with an official Frobozz Magic Card Shuffler and dealing them from a certified Frobozz Magic Baccarat Shoe, I expect to be unceremoniously thrown out.
But I guess I'm naive when it comes to the world of high-stakes gambling, huh.
Unless the site doesn't need to be looked up at all because it's already cached.
What you're describing isn't a cache, it's just a local static copy. If the file is cached, then I have to look up the originating server and initiate a two-way conversation with it before I can use the file, in order to make sure my copy isn't obsolete.
Agreed, Delevan's explanation is BS. But it's interesting to consider how often this sort of thing will happen when we're all using voice recognition on a day-to-day basis. The difference between "This is a legitimate email" and "This is an illegitimate email" can be very subtle depending on the speaker's accent, background noise, and any number of other factors.
If Delevan were the sort of person who thinks on his feet, he'd have blamed voice recognition instead of a typo.
The engineers pointed out something that is well-known in the industry, but that was evidently ignored by Samsung: batteries need room to expand.
It doesn't matter if this fact is pointed out by hardware engineers, software engineers, or used-car salesmen. It doesn't matter what degrees or professional certifications they hold or don't hold. It's a consequence of fundamental physical laws, and it's very likely to be the root cause of the problem. Your arguments, on the other hand, amount to puzzlingly-irrelevant ad-hominem rants.
(The interesting question, by the way, isn't the fact that a few phones caught on fire. The interesting question is, "Why did Samsung see no alternative but to kill the entire product, bulldoze the factory, and seed the ground with salt?" That's really what the Instrumental engineers set out to answer, and I believe their conclusion is probably correct.)
He's technically wrong but spiritually correct. The Republicans under Bush 43 were neocons who would be dismissed as RINOs today. They were more like the current Democrats in many ways. Their line is extinct. The people Trump is surrounding himself with are power-mad Jesus freaks and Tea Party fellow travellers.
The Republican party as we knew it before, for better or worse, is as dead as the Whigs. There has never been a time when people of this particular caliber have controlled the executive branch and held sway over the legislative (and soon enough judicial) branches.
No, I mean the Democrats are no longer secretly "elevating" him, as the Wikileaks memo put it. He now realizes that what he thought was an ego-boosting electoral conquest was rigged in his favor all along. He was literally trolled into getting himself elected POTUS.
Which is why he was wandering through the White House with a "WTF just happened?" look on his face.

What part of the Windows franchise is earning $20B/year, except desktop OSes that people (think they) have no choice but to buy?

No headphone jack. Less combustible than a Samsung. Lame.

Sure, I can buy marked cards in a magic shop. But when the casino provides the cards, they can hardly be construed as my problem.
How were the cards "marked?" Marked cards are cards that have been tampered with, not ones that were designed or printed improperly.
You don't have the right to disobey unjust laws... but you do have the obligation.
(Shrug) This battle was lost in 1982 when they shipped the 80286 without including the source code to REP MOVS.

No, the point is, if you don't like something Trump says, just wait a few days and he'll say something completely different.
The same advice applies if you do like something he says.
He's a Theoden in search of a Wormtongue.
Citations please!
What would be the point? You might as well "cite" the sage quotations of the guy in the alley down the street whose hobby is inhaling gasoline fumes.
"Cloud" /kloud/
noun: cloud; plural noun: clouds
1. Somebody else's computer.
"I put a bunch of files on the cloud, and now they're gone"

...or who insist on policies that, for convenience, ego, laziness, costs, whatever... fatally compromise their network.
Imagine that. Making the computer serve its users, rather than the other way around. What kind of subversive thinking is this?
Parties change over time, in a process reminiscent of punctuated equilibrium. This is unquestionably one of those tipping points.
Or are you prepared to argue that the Republicans today would find much in common with Lincoln?

Things are about to get extremely stupid.
In the brave new world according to Microsoft: they're not "your users."
Not anymore.
It's called "Breaking things that work." It's not OK when Linux does it, and it's not OK when Microsoft does it.
You'd better call 911, because you're about to get schooled by one.
Trump did NOT look terrified at all - he has known and been friends with several presidents and is not awed by them.
They didn't hand him the keys to the building on those visits, did they?
Look at the photos of his meeting with Obama. He's not laughing.
He's utterly terrified.
