It's technically correct. Google is the search company, the parent is Alphabet (one of the stupidest corporate names ever). The suit is against Google, not Alphabet.
I'd trust anyone who could drive at 3, and win yacht races at 9. Or anyone that could write 1,500 books in 3 years while attending University. He truly is history in the making.
His family is all sorts of incredible. There's pro-golfers that - in their first game - scored 15 points on an 18-hole course. Who wouldn't trust someone like that?
Similar problem with my old work Windows box. With AD Servers halfway across the country, thousands showing up at roughly the same time nationwide, site bandwidth at a premium, loads of group policy nonsense, lots of crapware, and older machines a simple reboot was an exercise in frustration. Power-on to login prompt was quick... login to usable was a minimum of 15 minutes, often more like 20-30 depending on network traffic.
I'd question what sort of software they are using to configure and lock down the users/network. Limited bandwidth and lots of "on boot load this" nonsense would slow ANY OS down.
The only benefit tabs had/has is the ability to visually change how much indentation they represent on the fly without modifying the content.... you can quickly switch back and forth at will, with no impact on the data in the document. While I do recall using that decades ago, I can't remember the last time I needed/wanted to do that.
It's useful when you're not the only person working on that code, and your cow-orkers have different ideas of how many spaces each indentation level should be. If you have one weirdo on the team who insists on 8-space or 2-space indents, then using tabs keeps you from fighting over this all the time and filling up the git repo with constant whitespace changes.
Or you can use and IDE/git repo manager with a setting to ignore whitespace differences.
I've found the fastest way is to cut them at the roots then rake them up. I've used an action hoe to clear out more than one backyard that has overgrown weeds. It acts as a blade that goes just under the surface, you can then rake up the weeds (or however you collect seasonal leaves) and toss them. Since you are killing them at the root, they don't come back. Though whatever seeds are left *may* grow new weeds.
The shooter didn't vocalize his complaints, so we resort to "left-wing wacko". What if he wasn't? Would we have the same reaction if he was an average guy that thought he had no other options?
The interesting part is its typically Republicans that are pro-2nd Amendment. Now they have been hit (no pun intended) closer to home. I guess we will see if the gun control tune of Republicans moves left a bit.
Do not underestimate the power of the prez. He alone is the ONLY person in the US who cannot be indicted on any federal crime while prez. Further, it is a matter of debate if he can be indicted on any state level crime.... It has never been tested.
You've contradicted yourself, you make the claim that the prez is immune, then say it has never been tested. There is no real legal precedent for the POTUS to be indicted while president. The closest instance of that was the Reagan/Watergate scandal, and the decision was never legally made. More reading here, and a more detailed analysis from 1997 here.
My own interpretation is that the POTUS is not any more immune than any other elected official, considering a Senator could be summoned for jury duty or personally sued for something, but I am no legal scholar and my opinion means jack.
You should read up on classical conditioning, specifically learned helplessness. There's already enough 'bad' when it comes to voting. Electronic voting doesn't work. Hand counting is inaccurate. There's a disillusion about whether or not a person's vote really matters since elections are based on this screwed up electoral college system - where a chosen few (compared to the general public) can decide who leads.
There have been activists and those speaking up, sure... but until our elected officials actually listen and do something about it, we're just going to keep going on this downward sloping status quo. The anarchist in me thinks "good, get rid of these career politicians that only want to pad their own wallets and retire into C-level golden parachute jobs". Then I see things like the uprising in Egypt and worry that the U.S. could go to that extreme.
So was Snowden lying when he said the NSA could look up phone, e-mail and other private communication? Or is Snowden a Limited hangout? Has America forgotten about the spy network?
This has nothing to do with Snowden and everything to do with how Facebook operates.
> Facebook uses powerful systems to keep people's information secure and tools to keep their accounts safe, and we do not provide any government with direct access to people's data. We make money by sharing your posts with as many of your friends as possible with bundled advertising.
It has nothing do with the Gov, and everything to do with making someones voice heard as broadly/loudly as possible. That first word in "social media" came and bit him in the ass.
If they have the right to fill up my voicemail with message I don't want, I should have the same right to continually call them, tying up their phone line. Sounds fair, right?
You absolutely can do that. The problem is that it doesn't do shit. If you call back the number, you get a pre-recorded message. All you're really doing is wasting your own time. Even if you do get their direct line and call in, it's a bank of minimum-wage call center idiots who just hang up on you when they figure out you don't want to buy anything.
That's quite possibly the best definition of political call centers I've ever heard.
If they wanted/cared to do that, they'd already have that "feature" for spoofed Caller ID's. Maybe even some tool to block mass-dailers that aren't specifically registered somewhere (like political campaigns *should* be).
Truth is, they don't give a shit. Every time you pick up that phone, be it for a call or voicemail, you are accessing their network and making them money. Why exactly would they care to stop that if it adds a few dimes per customer to their income?
Then it's a matter of strong procedures. There should never be a single point of failure, and all those passwords should be written down and sealed away somewhere accessible by the appropriate people.
The CEO/President may not *need* the passwords, but if he/she (and/or his/her admin) have the passwords saved somewhere then should the Admin get hit by a bus the company can keep moving forward. Any sane company would have the hand-off of the keys to the kingdom as part of the out-processing procedures. This includes updating POCs for any external accounts, such as cloud storage.
It's really common sense and not a huge burden to keep things up to date, even for small companies.
This is actually a viable suggestion. The only people that truly need processing power are video gamers and content producers (e.g. artists, developers).
Considering there are a lot of people out there that still think the internet is that E icon (or fox, or yellow/red/green circle) and only really need to check email, facebook, youtube and cat pictures... ARM tablets have been gaining steam, why wouldn't they gain some traction in more traditional forms like a laptop a laptop-like phone dock?
Helping grandma beats trying to recover an Apple ID.
When I first got an iPod I created an Apple ID with an old email address. Never bought anything on it, never even put real contact info or credit card information on it. A few weeks ago I got an email that my security questions were changed. I called up Apple, apparently the only way they verify someone is the owner of an account is through those security questions so they couldn't do anything to help me.
TLDR: Make sure you have a strong password, because if someone does somehow change your security questions your account is gone.
I had a few ideas about why Cable TV is failing, and of course others had the same idea.
Commercials - Time has an article about the trend over the years for more commercials per hour. The article has a 2014 date, so we're talking an increase in almost a minute per hour over 5 years.
On cable, commercials are even more frequent, totalling 15 minutes and 38 seconds of each hour. Commercials on cable took 14 minutes and 27 seconds of each hour in 2009.
Content - We've all complained about how much Reality TV just plain sucks. There's a nice write-up onOregon State's sociology 499 class site (of all places) that mentions ER set a record for $13Mil per episode, while a half hour reality show can cost more like $150k.
Cost - Of course we the consumer complain about a steady increase in cost for little gain (another grass growing channel? really?), we don't often look at how much things cost for companies. Sports Illustrated has a nice breakdown of costs to run a 30 second ad during the super bowl. The growth is damned near exponential and was somewhere on the order of $5mil this year, and $3mil in 2010.
Basically, it's all in the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Commercials have gotten longer and more expensive, while production costs have been driven lower and lower. If only there was some way en masse to stop making stupid people famous...
A reduction in tax income means a reduction in overall ability for the gov to spend... which in turn means smaller money pot to pay teachers and police.
I'm sure they'll find another way, such as property tax rates for commercial vs personal.

Theres a big difference between my $200 return from TurboTax and Apples spending thousands in CSAs to avoid spending millions in taxes.

Right, then Stephen Elop would have been put in charge and Yahoo would have been dead by 2010.

I can't seem to find the Youtube video...
Not quite. "One Eks" is IX, or 9. That's still 351 less than the XBox 360, but 8 more than the XBox One. We'll just say the original is "XBox zero".
For those folks that have been holding out on a more moderate upgrade from their original XBox some 15 years ago, now's the time to upgrade!
We've found the money loop!
