What's also annoying is when I shut down my computer every night, yet windows still nags me to update in the middle of doing things instead of just waiting for the daily shutdown.
Most of his endorsement switches haven't been for reasons of new information (although the Clinton estate tax plan was one of them), but have been for his safety or image. Seems it's more of a play to point out how absurd it is that we figuratively skin people alive for their endorsements, especially in an election cycle where every candidate, even the two biggest third party ones, are mostly trash.
Easy solution: fix student loans. Repeal the laws that make student loan debt persist through bankruptcy in most cases. This would force student loan providers, just like every other lender in the world, take risk into account when deciding whether to give a loan or not (and at what interest rate). That way, if University A charges $50k for a degree, but University B charges $40k for a better degree, nobody will want to give loans for college A, thus forcing them to either get their act together or lower their tuition. It would also clamp down on the less useful degrees, since lenders would be much more willing to give loans for STEM degrees with job prospects than underwater basket weaving. As it stands, there simply isn't enough of an incentive for higher education to compete on the basis of price, nor is there an incentive for student loan providers to deny anyone a loan.
But that doesn't matter, because it only requires ONE determined person to crack the DRM and upload it to their preferred den of piracy. The average user has no need to break the DRM, because either they're a paying customer of the service with no plans to cancel thus have no need to break the DRM to begin with, or they're not a paying customer in which case they would be getting it from a different source entirely.
But that's what I like about tabs. They can be set to display as however many columns each individual wants, rather than requiring everyone to agree on the same number. 4? 3? 8? Pi?
There were two different compromises. One of them involted salted+hashed passwords, the other involved no passwords. Crappy ZD clickbait headline+poor/. editing.
More like anyone who uses vBulletin in 2016 needs to be banned from making websites. As someone who has had to deal with a large-ish VB, it's really not pretty under the hood, with or without the SQL injections.
It's true that if you want to run Linux on a random machine, it might not work. But if you do some research beforehand, you can find hardware that it works fine on. Dell even has a few business laptops (so not their consumer crap) that can be ordered with Linux to shave $100 off the price. I'd assume it works fairly well on those machines if it comes with them.
- Is there any need to drag the window around? No, because you cannot actually drag a maximised window without restoring it, which can be done using the restore button.
So an extra click for zero benefit? In most WMs, MS Windows included, dragging a maximized window will restore it and start dragging all in one go. You also have the ability to drag it to another monitor, or to drag it to the far left or right to "maximize" it to half the monitor. Sure, most of these can be done with keyboard shortcuts, but so can switching between tabs.
But the problem is that putting something at the top requires bumping something else off the top. So you have to pick between tab bar (best for browsing), menu bar (best for most non-browser programs), and the title bar (best for when you drag windows around a lot, e.g. multiple monitors). However, in browsing, the title bar is often the only place where you can actually see the full window title, other than hovering over an individual tab.
I don't see more than a small amount of them voting Trump, but I can see a lot of them voting third party or abstaining, which could give Trump the edge.
They could. We already saw tons and tons of backlash over Win10 telemetry and upgrading without consent. They can put it off because people realistically have nowhere to go. Apple doesn't make a machine geared towards gaming, and Linux still has a pitiful game catalog.
Better yet, some kind of heart rate monitoring when you touch your finger to it. If your heart is racing due to an emergency, remember that the phone still lets you make emergency calls even when it is locked.
But there already IS a limit, because you have limited bandwidth. If I only have a 10mbit connection, then I can only use 3TB a month even if I max out the connection 24/7. Same thing with an "all you can eat": my stomach has limited volume, therefore I can't actually eat an unlimited amount.
But it's not putting 3 trillion into a pit and burning it. People will spend that 3 trillion on things. I'd rather have this than pork barrels because this at least is individual people deciding what to spend their money on (which is a tenet of capitalism, people spend money on things that provide them utility (and thus vote with their wallet) rather than someone else deciding for them).
These are just nonsense numbers: is $10,000/yr a basic income? That won't even get you housing the last time I checked.
10k a year is plenty if it's in a reasonably-priced area. People aren't entitled to live somewhere expensive. You can easily get a 2-bedroom apartment for no more than 1,000/month in a cheap area and get a roommate. Even cheaper if you go for 3 bedrooms.
Am I the only one who wishes languages had different semantics for disabling code versus actual comments? Sometimes it's nice to have, plus it helps avoid the issue of having a block of code with a/* */ comment in it, then putting another/* */ around that block of code to disable it, only to find out that the first */ closed the outer comment.
Mozilla of 10 years ago probably could have blown 90% of the 1 billion on hooker and blow and still made the world's best browser. Mozilla of today would probably do better with less funding because it just goes into finding innovative new ways to make awful UIs, break addons, and add features nobody wants.
I went through and read the actual suit since as usual the summary is garbage. Blizzard is 90% blowing smoke here, but the claims that actually have some merit are:
1. Intentional interference with contractual relations: since cheating is against the EULA, they are facilitating other people violating EULAs.
2. Since the cheat makers themselves were violating the EULA by developing/testing cheats, they were thus infringing copyright.
The rest of the claims require some major mental gymnastics, like claiming that when the cheat modifies the workings of the game (unclear as to whether it actually does that, or just reads memory and creates on overlay), it constitutes a derivative work. But the claims that do have merit are actually a pretty crafty end run.
However, the implication of #2 is that if someone cheats at a game, they are on the hook for piracy. Pretty scary precedent especially in situations where it's not 100% clear what constitutes a cheat.

builtin DRM
Publishers on Steam can choose to have no DRM whatsoever on their game. Blame the publishers, not Steam.

Many tickets are already limited to X per person or household, but from what I understand, hot tickets will have tons of bots swarming them.
Conservation of energy? Isn't this just making the pedestrians expend more energy to walk?

Pay people for committing crimes? That couldn't possibly go wrong.

Debian "testing" is technically a preview but is going to be more stable than most OSes.

Yes, of course it's unreasonably expensive if you get a $450 video card and a 1TB SSD. What were they expecting to discover? That water is wet?
