What was selfless about Watson selling his medal to get money for himself? The guy who bought it and returned it migh be considered selfless, but Watson's act of selling his medal was certainly not. Do you even know what selfless means?
If being a media player wasn't one of it's purposes then why do they have this in their FAQ?
1. WHAT IS A RASPBERRY PI?
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.
Emphasis added. Why point out playing HD video if being a media player wasn't the points of the device?
Your drug example is understandable, but would you hire a convicted felon as well?
Your statement seems to imply that a felon is some sort of untouchable non-human. You realize that many ex-felons were not convicted of, for example, a violent crime, right? What world would you rather live in? One in which felons are given second chances that have been proven to reduce recidivism or one in which we keep treating them as if they are untouchables who become life-long criminals because they happened to make a mistake in their life?
Now, while this sucks for the felon trying to land a job, it also sucks for the company, and lets face it, the recidivism rate among past felons is generally pretty high. Why should a company want to risk it's own livelihood or existence just to give you a second chance?
Yes, it's pretty high precisely because of all the people like yourself with such an attitude. If an ex-felon cannot find a legitimate job they will simply turn to crime and thus will land in prison again. And because of that you will pay more and more in taxes to support that.
So if you want a society in which recidivism rates go down and ex-felons are reformed rather than becoming life-long criminals who get repeatedly locked up in prison, we should all be trying to push for more ex-felons to be given a second chance.
You're confused by what they said. Their post wasn't about *spam* filtering. It was the filtering done to group and hide things that they did not like.
One of the major problems with working for Samsung in, say, Austin is that the local managers have no say at all. All the decisions come from South Korea. It really is supposed to be a miserable place to work for other than to gain the experience to move anywhere else.
I work in the Samsung Austin R & D Center where we design CPUs for mobile devices. I love it here - an awesome work environment, awesome people, and excellent benefits because of Samsung's size, even though our building only has about 300 people in it. We have people here contributing to open source projects even though they're not part of the open source team that this article is referring to.
I live in Austin and know quite a few people that worked for Samsung in town. It was almost universally hated as anything but a springboard to a better job. Even the many reviews on sites like Glassdoor back this up.
I didn't posit any "solution". All I said is the risk are being hidden from the players. And since these are kids they simply trust the adults telling them to play since it's supposedly ok.
But the problem is that just like the NFL, these high school and college football programs are hiding these head injury risks from the players. It's not the kids' fault that the adults they should be able to trust are putting them into risky situations without properly informing them of the risks.

One that I pay a subscription to is Ars Technica. They actually make content worth paying for. Not vacuous, ad-ridden clickbait.

*one of the points* that is.

It's had it since Fedora 15.
You don't. If it's not worth the resources or time you don't bother. Thems the breaks sometimes.
Someone should take Eclipse behind the woodshed and put it out of its misery. What a terrible monstrosity.

It tries to turn email into some frankenstein todo list.
What we found was that email works as a todo list for many people
Who exactly are these people? I've never seen a single person use email this way.

Nope, even they don't want Windows phones.

Or just go get the battery replaced?
The people running this ring are honest about their intentions?
And we will be able to hit data caps in fractions of a second!! The carriers are going to love the overage charges.
It was a joke, bro. It was mocking what the Segway people said when that was released.
What I quoted was straight from the article.

The lawsuit calls on the Bloomington-based IHSA to tighten its head-injury protocols. It doesn't seek damages.
A lawsuit seeking no damages is clearly the ultimate path to cashing in.
But the problem is that just like the NFL, these high school and college football programs are hiding these head injury risks from the players. It's not the kids' fault that the adults they should be able to trust are putting them into risky situations without properly informing them of the risks.
Couldn't even be bothered to finish the summary?

How exactly is the lawyer going to make money from a suit that doesn't seek damages?
