It costs in excess of US$ 99 to be tested and be assured of being of Charlemagne ancestry, or you can stay with the exceeding likeliness for free. I'd choose free if I was white.
But, honestly... if people wanted the Microsoft stuff, they'd have bought a Microsoft phone.
I find myself thinking... why the hell would I want Microsoft anything on an Android or iOS device?
Is there a market of people tripping over themselves for this? Unless it was a corporate device and I had no choice, I see zero value in this for anybody who didn't buy a Microsoft product to begin with.
I use Cyanogen-Mod and have chosen not to have Google Now. If I ever want some kind of personal assistant, my best option will be Cortana.
However, on a second thought, what I've said does not counter your argument.
This is not to cry over some perceived unfairness to the Nazi, but rather to stand astounded that all Communists aren't being rounded up today with the same fervor. You claim to want justice for totalitarian perpetrators of genocide? Great, just don't pick and choose.
Not all Communists are genocidal, only their leaders. In the same way, not all Nazis deserved to go on trial (IFAIK, 10% went), nor the ones who faced trial should ben condemned, (again, AFAIK, 10% were). I've heard people say that it is a shame that it went that way and that all Nazis should have been prosecuted and hung. However most of then had no say on the fate of the inmates of concentration camps, nor had important roles in the party, nor have anything to do with the Nazi party besides being affiliated. Heck, Oskar Schindler was a Nazi.
Setting aside the numbers, did you know that Brazil is a genocidal country? The Brazilian government is building a barrage that will flood the lands of some Indian tribes, and is yet to provide a territory for such people to live. But what does the world do? Nothing, because it's a capitalist country and an ally to EU and US.
The Terrorists are considered an Evil group. However they are are just a bunch of bullies, who haven't (compared to the military actions in the past) gained much foothold.
The Communists were less Evil, but more a solid threat, the Soviets had taken control of many countries, and having a Nuclear Arsenal as well made them really scarry.
There is some disagreement about those people being evil, especially the communists. One could easily say that the capitalists are the greater evil, especially the owners big corporations, because they pollute the Earth, are utterly greedy, etc and have no concern for the distribution of resources among those who need them. The CIA, on behalf of a capitalist state, participated in coups d'état in various countries, the US invaded Nicaragua, Panama, Hawaii, just to name a few countries. Thus, capitalism is evil.
About the terrorists, I can say that the main distinction between a terrorist group and a state is that other countries recognizes the occupation of territory by a state, but not by a terrorist group, no matter the opinion of the people in the occupied territories.
The Nazis, on the other hand, are held as the embodiment of evil, almost unanimously.
We used to have this kind of absurdity here in Brazil. The first divorce law was in a budget law as well. In the last years, some laws where enacted to limit the obvious: budget laws can't deal with anything but budget stuff; an amendment to a "medida provisÃria" (provisional law from the president) has to do with its subject.
I was made to think that we are the only ones who needed that kind of things, but unfortunately we where wrong.
Because only people smart enough to run OpenBSD and install (I think it includes compiling) and start a DE and overcome all the compatibility issues between Moonlight and Silverlight (the booth *must* be written in Silverlight) should be allowed to vote.
That way, you will not even need to ensure anonymity, because it's not hard to find the ones capable of doing the above.
The NSI phones are often distributed to mentally challenged individuals or medical shut-ins, who are largely unattended during the day, as a way for them to call help in an emergency. These folks--many infirm/all lonely--learned that the phone would dial 911, and the operator-unlike most people they encountered (if they encountered people at all) would speak with them. Many such calls were repeated dozens of times (or more) each day.
And the rest were just dopes with nothing better to do.
Isn't in the US a number you can call when you feel depressed, something like the Lifeline I've just found about on Google? It would be more useful if NSI phones could make that kind of calls, too.
We used to have a receptionist who put so much crap on her PC
Damn, that receptionist must have been seriously hot
Yeah, he was.
:-)
Apart from that, female sysadmins (or company owners) do exist...
Yeah, they do exist, but women are less susceptible to hormones, so it's more likely that if the receptionist were a male, the sysadmins (or company owners) would be gay.
With the wrongful death suits coming Apple's way from the Apple Watch and the TSA banning it on All Airline travel the Apple is hitting all the wrong notes.
Yes, people do. Especially CDs. I can't get why would anyone buy an.mp3 file, though; perhaps I can't because in my country one has the right to make a single copy of every copyrighted material one owns.
The toxic part of the myth is not that how much of a rock star or a ninja the professional programmers are. It's about how people who can code are viewed by their peers who can't code. I am not a programmer, but I have written some programs in bashscript, and I show the code to anyone, most will think that I have the "gift", the "neck", or that my ability has something to do with the fact that I have been accept into Mensa.
If anyone is wondering about the Turkish phonology, I inform you that the phrase "Ermeni Krm" is actually something like "Ermeni Kirimi", but with dotless ii. In Turkish, it is not possible a word composed of only consonants, but as you may know,/. doesn't support Unicode.

. . . not you get to skip off with your severance while everybody else gets screwed over.
Um, that's EXACTLY how it works. You must be really young.
The company lies in France, and that is not how it works there. You must be American.

It does not come free with every phone call; we're playing for it.
Only if you pay your taxes in the US. I haven't paid anything and I am not sure if I am not being tracked by the NSA.
There's threat of monopoly of Uranium ore to be afraid of.

Quite easy if you happen to have a job (or another steady income source).

The fedora is strong on this one.
No, I don't use Fedora. I've tried some times, but I've been choosing Mandrake (or its successors) since 2005, and now I use Mageia.

It was the most uncomfortable keyboard I've ever used. Rubbing your finger in a screen is even worse than typing in a dim sized keyboard.
I see, I wish /. let me edit my comments, so I could correct "poeple" and "accept".
Are you sure you suck? Perhaps, aren't you just okay?
