an aggressive move to help kill the desktop market to drive people towards using devices google makes more $ off of
I highly doubt there's over one percent of desktop users who would give up the desktop because they can't use Google reliably any longer. What I foresee is someone (perhaps one if these desktop using dinosaurs?) developing a Google mobile search plugin for browsers.
Cut out the inflammatory foods (grains), and you won't have to worry so much about clogging up your arteries. Without the cracks and crevices in your arteries, there's nowhere for the buildup to take hold.
Also, plant based protein is not the same as animal based, and, as carnivores, we need animal based protein.
If I understand what the problem is, Samsung tried to squeeze the battery into a slightly too thin phone. While this might not present a problem out of the box, nor for the vast majority of owners, all it would take to cause a failure is to bend over to pick something up with the phone in your back pocket. This might not cause an immediate failure, nor a failure be caused by only one flexing of the phone, but I can see many of them developing this problem over time. I think they made the right call. It seems to be a design problem with the phone, and it's too late to redesign and relaunch a new one.
IMHO phones are getting too thin for lithium ion batteries. They need to stiffen the bodies or find a safer power source.
The IoT is, by design, a security risk. Who the hell needs their oven, thermostat, refrigerator and each individual light-bulb connected to the Internet? I have no pity for anyone who gets their speaker-included light-bulb hacked, and I truly believe the companies whose products are involved in this DOS should be held completely responsible. CEOs and CTOs should be fired and charged with computer crimes.
As the summary says, getting 5Gbps to a WAP and sharing it between N laptops is probably more important. It might take a bit longer for 5Gbps interfaces to become the standard on-board Ethernet.
Damn! If only there were some way to get Ethernet on a desktop other than with an on-board adapter.
Who would you blame if auto manufacturers didn't offer door locks on your car and someone took all your stuff? Or they did put locks on but the key would open all the doors of each model, or even made it where attempting to open the door actually unlocked the door.
I'm sorry, but the manufacturers (not the vendors, Best Buy is a vendor, Seagate is a manufacturer) are responsible for poor/no security on their devices, and until we start holding them legally and financially responsible, breaches like this won't change.
Holly mother of god DUDE! WTF is wrong with you?? Don't you know if we don't IaTT right fucking now, we might as well start slinging clubs and dancing around the campfire again. CHRIST! What the actual FUCK is wrong with you?!? IoT, dude it's the fucking Internet of THINGS. Fucking THINGS ON THE INTERNET!!!
If you want to leave it behind forever all you have to do is give up your citizenship. Same with corporations. If you don't want to pay U.S. taxes, give up your U.S. corporation status.
Regardless of where the income is generated, U.S. corporations need to pay U.S. taxes the same as any U.S. citizen. Calculate the tax after all (foreign) wages, expenses and taxes are subtracted. No more of this slight of hand bullshit, pay your fucking taxes or move your corporation. Hell, most have already moved the majority of their workforce, the rest of the U.S. based employees are executives and their staff.
You're right. Let all those who have unlimited plans sue because they're not getting infinity bytes at infinity speed. I agree the ISPs should be a bit more clear in their description of service, but the customers need to use a bit of common sense as well. Hell you don't even get unlimited bandwidth between your hard drive or memory and CPU. Are you going to sue the manufacturer of your motherboard?
As long as they're up front about the throttling point, I see no problem with this. You're still free to use up all the data you can, just not as fast as before the throttle point. People really need to understand that there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, especially wirelessly. These are the same people that will sue because they can't watch a movie without buffering and/or stuttering because everyone around them is streaming 4k video as well.
I've met quite a few adults that can't tell time with an analog clock, some that even think a quarter of an hour is 25 minutes. I'm pretty sure they still teach how to use analog clocks in school, and it's not rocket science. If they reach adulthood without knowing how to use a clock, how many of them can tell you what day is three weeks from today?
Offloading basic cognitive functions to a phone isn't a sign of intelligence, no matter how much they slap the word "Smart" on product names.
There is a difference between lack of intelligence and ignorance, and only one of them can truly be overcome.
Have you met the average person? Some of them will have difficulty with calendars. Now remember that the majority of the population is even less intelligent.
None of what you said has any relevance to the article, my post or this school. This is a school that is teaching you a skill that will be with you for the rest of your life -- something you would have to pay for otherwise, and something you should be happy to work hard for. They also are not an employer, who you are free to negotiate your salary with or go elsewhere for work. If you don't like the terms, like I said, you are free to not attend and pay upwards of $20,000 a year and perform however you desire. I'd look at them more of a coach. Do you think the Olympic athletes work 9 to 5 5 days a week? And they usually pay their coaches to work the hell out of them.
It's called stupid. The fact that I won't work 12 hours a day 6-7 days a week on somehting for months on end has zero correlation with how successful I will be at something.
Typical millennial. Want's everything handed to them with minimal effort, allowing the vast majority of their time spent on satisfying themselves and their desires.
You know what M*. vux984? This place is giving you an education, with a place to stay during your time there, entirely free of charge, and you're whining about having to work for it? They have a perfect right to make you work hard and prove you are worthy of them continuing to invest in you. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to attend, go spend upwards of $20,000/year and play to your harts content. At least until you graduate and find you spent so much time enjoying yourself that you didn't learn a damn thing and are now thousands of dollars in debt with little to no desirable skills.
If they play their cards right, these graduates could be highly sought after and paid well.
So what corporate America is saying is that privacy is only for the wealthy now? They have the right to data mine the personal info of the poor for profit and force them to be bombarded by advertisements designed to fool the viewer into thinking they need whatever it is they're being told they need ( pretty much brain wash them into buying more and more Chinese made crap)?

Who the hell goes twelve hours after learning one of your accounts has been hacked without changing all your passwords? This guy deserved what he got.
Sorry, I meant omnivores.

But won't Note 7 customers burned by Samsung *already* be looking at Apple now?
Of course they will, they have no choice. Everyone know the only two phone manufacturers are Samsung and Apple.
Oh, wait! For most people, it's the Android experience they're after. Kind of hard to get that while walled up in the Apple jail.
Many != all. I'm sure there are plenty of sunny spots in Death Valley that could be used for solar energy without the fear of flash flooding.
Since we're hating on Russia again, are the gays off the list? Can we allow them to get married and live in peace?

... (Which means they're probably not as tasty as you remember them. Lard is delicious!)
Lard is also more healthy than hydrogenated vegetable oil. I'd take lard and sugar over glycerol and HFCS any day.

This is why I use OurGroceries (not affiliated in any way, just love the app) and add things as I need them.

Delisting content from media outlets is hardly kissing Europe goodbye. There's much much more indexed than just commercial media.

So, remind me again what political party controls San Francisco from top to bottom?
WTF are you trying to say here? Both parties are pretty much equally corrupt, so it doesn't matter which currently controls San Francisco.
