There's a reason why a business' emails are internal - they're not designed for the world to see, as they discuss internal strategies, planning, projects, research, personal reactions to presentations, HR stuff, and more.
Internal strategy over buying politicians isn't really "internal", or at least shouldn't be. When the politician passes a law because he's bought, no judge will be impressed if you say "that law was an internal Sony matter so I shouldn't go to jail".
If Microsoft charged for patches, they wouldn't be able to force patches on people. Forcing patches lets them do lots of things that benefit themselves and are bad for the consumer, including forcing ads, remotely disabling certain hardware if they have a dispute with the manufacturer, retroactively removing features (See; Sony PS3 Linux), imposing restrictions that consumers didn't agree with, etc.
However, Snowden *could* have informed US citizens of US government secret domestic surveillance activities, without taking *any* classified information outside the US.
Doing that would just get him tried and sentenced in secret.
Then why don't we see a "nude cigarette smokers with lung cancer project"?
beauty can be found in other body types
I thought you said it isn't marketing. Trying to sell the idea that body types which are damaging to health are beautiful is marketing of bad health as good.
That is not true. Paypal's language uses collection calls as an example, but is written in such a way that they can robocall you for any reason or no reason.
As others have pointed out, betting against the housing market is a good thing. It was betting for, not against, the housing market that caused the problem. By betting against it, he incrementally raised the cost to the banks of making bad decisions. This is beneficial to society.
Any of the morons who reported "What happened to my layers?" through support channels.
The typical use case for most people using GIMP is on a file that doesn't have any layers in the first place. If that's the real reason, then they could produce the warning message only when the file contains layers rather than all the time. Perhaps a second warning message, that can be turned off, if the file format is lossy.
If the names of the "Export" items on the File menu were changed to "Flatten and Save", would that satisfy you?
Just putting the word "save" on the "Export" menu item would still leave you getting warnings about not having saved it. You'd have to put the word "save" on the "Export" item and have it actually count as a save for the purpose of deciding whether you need to get a save file warning.
they've apparently sabotaged GIMP too - for example, they apparently changed the save dialog so that you can only save XCF files and have to click through a "you have unsaved changes" warning when you export to a different format.
This wasn't done by Sourceforge, this was done on purpose by the maintainers of GIMP, because they're idiots.
Authorities have noted that pressure cookers have been used in the past to create explosive devices. Three people were killed and more than 260 others wounded in April 2013 when two pressure-cooker bombs were set off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Even in the area of extracurricular activities, contrary to the stereotype, there are no data to indicate that Asian-American students are doing less. As cited by Students for Fair Admissions Inc. in their complaint against Harvard University, xv "Studies also have shown that high- achieving Asian-American students are equally, if not more, qualified than other racial groups with regard to non-academic criteria. At the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), over several years, undergraduate admissions readers assigned each applicant three types of scores: `academic achievement' (principally high school grades, AP courses, and standardized test scores); `life challenges' (mainly socioeconomic background); and `personal achievement' (such as leadership, musical ability, and community service). These three scores jointly determined virtually all admissions decisions.... The data cover over 100,000 undergraduate applicants to UCLA over three years and show absolutely no correlation between race and `personal achievement.'"

But even though he's a moron, when it comes time for clickbait sites to start posting about them, guess who they're going to pick. Right--they're always going to pick the morons, because picking the morons is social justice clickbait and picking men who have problems with child custody isn't, thus making any movement that opposes social justice look like morons simply by choosing who to focus on.
(And Slashdot seems to have a gradually increasing number of clickbait social justice stories lately.)
"No discrimination" doesn't mean "like the general population", it means "treated without regard for race". That 20% is despite discrimination; if they were actually treated equally they would be at greater than 20%
It's a tradeoff. It's not "good for them" to get enough "exposure" to other races. But on the other hand, it's pretty good for them all by itself that they went to Caltech. If I had to trade off between those two things, I know I'd pick going to Caltech (or to Harvard) and I'm pretty sure you would too.
Claiming that it's good for someone to discriminate against them would never be acceptable in any other context.
As the article points out, Caltech doesn't try to look for "well-rounded" people. If what you were saying is correct, then the Asians enrolled at Caltech would not perform well. Do you really believe that?
It's not the wood or the TV. It's that home consoles are so good that arcade games are not superior to them. That was what finally killed the arcade.
That's why most surviving arcade games are sit-down driving and racing games, DDR clones, or other types of games with big pieces of hardware that you probably won't have at home. You're also not going to have ticket games at home.
By that reasoning, the government can force you to become Christian to use public schools. "Nobody is required by law to become Christian; they just can't use the public schools."
The reference to "brogrammer" indicates that this is a social justice complaint. They tend to treat tech companies as part of the capitalist enemy, and that transforms "different people use different architecture" into "people with the wrong architecture are disruptive".
The current 3D movie "fad" has been around for 7-8 years or so. This is several times the length of the previous fads, so I think 3D is here to stay this time. Especially since 3D is being put on lots of movies that would make tons of cash even without the 3D, rather than only on low budget gimmick films.
While HIPPA has good parts and bad parts, one of the things it is routinely used for is to provide "privacy" as an excuse for anything a healthcare organization doesn't feel like talking about, in the same way that "privileged" or "classified" is used by governments.
She called them up on the phone to ask what the codes mean.
Not telling this to someone over the phone really is a measure to take to protect privacy. How do they know who's calling them over the phone? Anyone can say "I'm the patient, tell me".
Going to the post office, mailing it to your brother, and waiting to get it back, is still hassle and expense that it is unreasonable to expect a user to do. Also, it doesn't scale well, so it's not an answer to the fact that users in general don't want to do such things.
Finding the information you need to do it takes less time the more you understand. You have successfully taken an hour to find enough information to install it with your level of knowledge, but not with everyone's level of knowledge. Furthermore, even an hour really sucks when we're talking about a consumer product.
Basically, yes. This is what's referred to as "non-gravitational forces" (you can Google the term, but Wikipedia doesn't seem to have an article). It makes it harder to predict the orbits of comets under some circumstances.

That is not accurate. The Washington Post has a better article which links to the complaint, at http://chronicle.com/items/biz...

The unconstitutional conditions doctrie prohibits the government from conditioning a benefit on giving up a constitutional right.
