How long will our civilisation last after oil becomes scarce?
37 seconds; +/- 2 seconds.
What makes anyone think we'll be able to power the machines required to serve the web pages. Our entire civilisation (including agriculture) is based on abundant energy.
Some of us are working on it, but most of you won't like the answers that will actually work. You will, however, still find remnants of the technologies of the ancient cultures you name still practiced by the descendents of their people, although I have not experienced this directly with the Mongols.
Something to look forward to, but I'm not sure how I'll eat.
How to be a real; vampire, elf, Smurf(tm), fair and balanced pair of talking boobs on Fox News (I've got nothing against boobs, I just think they should shut the hell up).
I don't know if that could be enforced, but it was in there.
One of a tenant's rights is that their tenant's rights cannot be abrogated by lease terms. One of the landlord's bag of tricks is to throw all sorts of bullshit into a lease; relying on the fact that the tenant believes they are enforcable.
When an owner leases out a property he transfers all rights of occupancy to the tenant. He, of course, retains all rights of property; and can only enforce such property rights agains the tenant.
i.e., the tenant must putty up the nail holes or reimburse reasonable expenses to the landlord for doing so. Any holes that preexist the tenant's occupancy are free for his use without incuring liability (always inspect a property before taking occupancy and document its condition. Have the landlord sign off on the document).
If wires owned by the landlord occupy the holes their removal incurs a liability for replacing them.
So long as we are not actually discussing crimes (arson is a liability to the owner and a crime) tenant's rights are about issues of living in the space; owners rights are almost entirely limited to issues of money.
Yes. The point being that when you "enable" Defender you are no longer the authority on what is and is not legitimate software. The fact that you classify the software as legitimate is no longer a relevant factor.
Abrogation of authority to a "higher power" is not a bug, it's a feature.

As a member of the public I cannot agree with him, but as a father I can at least understand his motivation; especially as we both had only daughters, only his had to live in Victorian/Edwardian times. Not a good period for a woman without independent means.
if you rent a commercial condo, can a landlord say "sorry, you aren't allowed to run broadband connections into your office"?
No. He can only restrict installation procedures that damage the property. If you go ahead and damage the property anyway his only recourse is to hold you liable for the cost of fixing the damage - and most likely not until you leave the premises.
It's a nail hole issue; and if he allowed the cable in for any reason he can't restrict what you do with it; just as he can't restrict what pictures you hang on a nail.
. ..they had nothing to do with the situation in China in the year 1800 (which is 150 years prior to when Mao conquered the place). That was the time period you told us to look at!
It is not.
what of China's Communist Party?
2000 raggedy assed, malaria ridden and seven eigths starved surviours of a 100,000 man army took control of one of largest nations on Earth because things had not been going especially well there.
I live in Canada and I am kind of bored with it. I've always wanted to live somewhere else. I guess it's that whole, "the grass is always greener" thing. But everytime I look at another country to move to there is always something glaringly wrong.
I have a friend whose father had to flee Argentina in the middle of the night - twice.
Once upon a time when my friend complained to his father about being bored, he responded:

I don't understand why an open voting system wouldn't work.
That depends a good deal on how you define "work."
An electronic voting system would be more secure then a paper trail with PEOPLE manually counting each vote.
No?
No. Do not confuse issues of accuracy with issues of security.

I demand that you withdraw your post, or . . . I'll stamp my feet and demand again.
Don't expect a lawsuit to come of this. That would mean discovery.

China does terrible, horrible things to their people.
You should have seen what was being done, and who was doing it, to their people in the 150 years before the current government took power.

It used to be that if one an application crashed and it was called just that: it crashed. Today its a DOS attack!
Wait until next year when it becomes a suspected cyber warfare attack.

Treating it as a security flaw is completely justified.
While it is a flaw in the code, I would call shutting down on the detection of a maliciously rigged web site a security enhancement.
