Well at my office we skipped over Windows 8 and went straight to 10, so there wasn't as much change coming from 7. I'm sure it cost them a few hours of befuddlement, but they can afford that when they're not under pressure to do a presentation in front of clients right away.
I guess you forgot what this conversation is about them: It's about people spewing many forms of bigotry (most specifically misogyny, anti-semitism, islamophobia and plain ol' white supremacy) on Twitter. Or did you just turn a blind eye to it?
Hurling abuse at black celebrities etc. isn't a form of frank discussion. That's what these people are being banned for, for the most part. And you can't resolve anything through discussion when one party has "alternative facts" that they're sticking to despite the best evidence that they're wrong. At that point, it's like fighting with a pig: you'll both get dirty while achieving nothing, but the pig will enjoy it.
Must be nice to not have to deal with average Joe users at all...they see an interface that looks a little different from the Windows they're used to, and they're paralyzed. Putting an unfamiliar operating system on a computer they have to use would literally be at least as disruptive as changing Windows' UI language to Japanese.
Can't remember the last time I used a distro that didn't let you Ctrl-C out of fsck on boot by default. All I have to watch out for on Linux is update-apt-xapian-index on older computers, where it amounts to a surprise CPU and HDD stress test.
It would be nice to have a notification on the shutdown menu stating how many updates are about to be installed before you shut down or restart, to avoid the computer unexpectedly becoming temporarily both useless and unable to shut down while it's installing updates. This is a major problem for computers that aren't used often and have to shut down or start up in a hurry...like dedicated presentation laptops.
I think it's better to push "trolls" or whatever we're calling worthless hateful fucks who harass others online these days underground. A few will resort to more damaging behavior but most will just have to keep their toxic mind-sharts to themselves or confined to places that are already irredeemable cesspools of trolling/hate speech/whatever. The good outweighs the bad there.
Next, censorship by a private company is not comparable to censorship by a government. There are sites out there with all kinds of strict rules on speech that amount to a form of censorship - far-right forums that actively ban any leftist rhetoric, non-political sites that ban any political discussion, you name it. And nobody bats an eye.
Not to mention its overt political bent, both in intent and in user base. A site with a pepe-lookalike for a mascot infested with far-right wingnuts will never gain mainstream support.
Not at all, SDCs are massively safer on average and therefore massively cheaper to insure. This is a smart move into the auto insurance industry just as the old guard is about to suffer a nasty famine...you don't need sprawling insurance companies to handle the rare autonomous car crash, just a glorified legal department at an auto manufacturer. In the future, individual car crashes will be newsworthy because of their rarity, like plane crashes today.
At that point it will be BallmerBot doing the chanting. It has a 2-gallon sweat reservoir, a highly reflective chrome headpiece, and can throw full-sized executive chairs over 50ft:-P
Telomeres affect the replication of DNA, not the "aging" of atoms (or molecules), which should also answer your question about eating meat. The fact that your atoms aren't aging would only be relevant if you were a nanomachine.
Adults can make a zero year old baby because aging is caused by a slowing or ceasing of cell division which is controlled by telomere shortening. Aging is not caused by damage to the genetic code itself (although older people with more genetic damage are slightly more likely to produce a baby with some kind of birth defect as a result of genetic damage).
I'm not a medical professional, I just look things up instead of spouting silly questions, same as you could.
Every language I can think of has a common single-character bug. Many Microsoft SQL users routinely leave off the semicolon which terminates a statement. Sometimes that results in buggy behavior right away, sometimes not until two years later when a change is made to the *proceeding* statement.
I once accidentally put a semicolon after an "if" statement in PHP. The website ran fine for years until one day when there were no articles for the little box this code was behind. That day the whole website ate shit. At least it was an easy fix!
It's going to blow up in his face so bad at some point that he'll have to start fresh on a new platform where he'll have to watch what he says.
He's very much like Jeremy Clarkson. He likes to make edgy borderline racist jokes, and you can do that on your own blog, but you can only get away with doing that on a commercial mainstream show for so long before your ass gets the boot.
Welcome to capitalism, tip your waitress (so she can eat) and try the gruel!

Oh she will get another executive job, just like Steve Elop. These people are our new royalty, and companies need someone of noble blood to lead them.

Or maybe it's about closet bigots like you falsely claiming that it's not, because you enjoy practicing bigotry.
See? Anyone can make a partisan knee-jerk dismissal. But mine doesn't require me to downplay well-documented bigotry.

Yep that's what I do on computers that can't handle it. I first tried disabling the cron scripts for it, but they get re-enabled if it's updated.

Yes, more centipedes in the den of centipedes, and less on Twitter. Everyone wins!
It's not like they ever would've found any porn anyway, searching behind the Great Firewall, on a Chinese search engine.
Because there are already some SDCs with optional manual controls on the market, from Tesla.

HP Deskjet 800-series printers will outlast them all.

Telomeres, look them up.
I think this short road is leading to either a global French Revolution 2.0 or killbot-powered genocide against the 99%.
Because that's how you get Thing monsters :-P

You place your bets, I'll place mine...
Along these lines, I think that Trump should be investigated over this at least nine times.
You should be happy to let another country rush into the end-state of capitalism first. It could serve as a cautionary example.
