I tow for the Boy Scouts and personal camping, and need cargo capacity for camping gear for three people. I will happily buy a tow capible electric truck, but I don't see it happening any time soon.
It seems really backwards to be rooting for either apple or Android, since both are walled gardens compared to any PC platform.
You
Have you seen Win10?
Me
Last I checked, Microsoft doesn't have to approve every application I run on my Windows computer. I can run any application I want. How is Win10 more restrictive than iOS or Android? When was the last time you were prevented from having root on your PC?
...
You
What does that have to do with the question posed? That of not being in control of your OS.
Question answered by reading the thread. You responded to someone complaining about a walled garden, not about control of the OS. Did you not read what you replied to above? You are the one who seems to be derailing the thread, I pointed that out to you, as MS doesn't have a walled garden, they allow you to run whatever you want on your PC.
Yeah, have they fixed that issue yet that makes the blues die relitively quickly? I still have my 10 year old 32" LCD tv, and it still works great. Have they prevented the OLEDs from color drift after two years that was reported on OLED phones yet?
I can see the day this comes about. AC will never be able to post again, we will finally get rid of some of the trolls around here. It would be glorious!
Common Carriers (phone companies) are required to carry all phone calls reguardless of content, while being shielded from prosecution for what other people use their services for. That is what is being aluded to, not what phone companies do with their web sites.
plus Xeon editions. 'X' Xeons, 'D' Xeons, 'E' Xeons. Plus VERSION NUMBERS (E Xeon v3, E Xeon v4).
Oh? Did AMD stop selling Opterons? Intel also has a much more varied selection, as they are for different purposes. You don't want a Desktop i7 (or god forbid a Xeon) in a laptop, as you wouldn't be able to effectively cool it. On the same lines, the i3 lines are for home or business users that don't need high performance chips.
It is too small to see. The IR signiture of a plane is huge, which is why many missiles are IR guided. The link above that I pointed out goes through all these arguments. You really should start with a look through of the post.
Also, the plane is very far away from the camera, using the measuring tool in Google Earth, it looks like the aircraft was about 60 miles away, so it would be pretty tiny in visible at that range.
Sure you can. Do you have any examples of companies (such as Hollywood) being forced to remove a job posting due to discrimination laws? This sounds more like a should not rather than cannot case, just as your original statement.
One prime example for there not being age descrimination in Hollywood is that Star Wars The Force Awakens used the original actors for Han, Leia, and Luke. They could have cast new actors in those roles, but chose to use the aging actors instead. Though I am not sure about calling Disney "Hollywood", do they film in California or Florida?
Yes, and the explination makes perfect sense. If there was an aircraft there (according to publically available records and airplane tracking applications), it makes perfect sense for it to be what the IR camera picked up. Thing look weird in IR because the human brain isn't used to interpreting what it is seeing, this is nothing new.
What does that have to do with walled garden policies of Apple and Google which prevent you from running whatever apps you want? Forced updates is nothing new, Google does that as well, and I would assume that Apple does as well, but I don't use them. The forced updates were to fix an issue, the enormous issue of zombie PCs from clueless users. Many users ignore updates indefinately because they don't understand the risk, or don't want to deal with them. Microsoft was trying to fix this issue by making many (all?) updates manditory if you are unwilling to pay for the pro version. If you don't want the auto updates, pay a bit extra for the pro version and turn them off. However, if you turn them off, you are now taking responsability for it and can't bitch when your computer gets owned by any number of attack vectors.
Is it a put down when I say you were out ill with the flu? You are putting words into someone else's mouth that they never said. Illness is exactly the opposite of a put down.
Oh man, I hate when that happens. Now can we get on with the bigotry of labeling people by the groups they fit in with? Labeling people "economically right-leaning social conservatives without a clue" is bigotry, in case you missed the callout. Nowhere in the post being discussed was there any indication of the person's economic perspective.
Mental illnesses are defined by the psychiatric profession. If you don't like something they define, go out and get a degree and prove them wrong. If you want people to get treatment, stop trying to claim it isn't an illness, when it is a clearly defined illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders.
I was born with mild autism (originally called asperger's disorder), just because what I have is in the DSM, doesn't make it hate for people to call autism a mental illness. It is a mental illness, and the only hate that is being spewed is yours denying the facts of a situation. You are the one claiming to know better than professionals in the field of psychiatry.
Because totally linking to the DSM V definition of Gender Dysphoria doesn't support the argument that GD is a mental illness, which it has to be to be in the DSM. Calling a banana a banana isn't hate, it is being descriptive. If you can't handle the truth that GD is a mental illness, please continue to deny the truth. The oucome of that denial though is that insurance doesn't cover it if it isn't an illness, so you will be hurting far more transgenders than any "hater".

AC beat me to it. I was going to ask if you hand out candy from the side door.
How about:
I tow for the Boy Scouts and personal camping, and need cargo capacity for camping gear for three people. I will happily buy a tow capible electric truck, but I don't see it happening any time soon.
It was totally a freudian slip, I am sure!
Wouldn't Monica Lewinski be a white-blower?

I'm trying to figure out what tampering Putin or the NSA would do to a server rack.
This won't solve the problem of tampering with servers, as they presumably will still be built overseas.

Your post made me doubt my memory. 3d without glasses exists, I don't know if any current products have it yet though.
Yeah, have they fixed that issue yet that makes the blues die relitively quickly? I still have my 10 year old 32" LCD tv, and it still works great. Have they prevented the OLEDs from color drift after two years that was reported on OLED phones yet?

Well, maybe not, but one can dream.
That is perfectly OK. It can be like the Discovery Channel.

That is quite the disparaging remark. Care to cite any examples of this occuring (besides the scientology comment that was forced by a court)?

I wear a $600 watch, and I can't say anyone has ever asked me about my watch...
When I was briefly wearing my Pebble just before they went out of business, I did get people asking me about it though...and that one only cost $99.
I don't know that there are many people out there looking for expensive watches to see someone's status.
Frankly, since this is the first incident of its kind, why would I ever be able to find something that doesn't exist.
Find me a single country where this happened before last week.
So, you characture a country based on one incident, and I am the one who has a diminished mental capacity?
Is it a put down when I say you were out ill with the flu? You are putting words into someone else's mouth that they never said. Illness is exactly the opposite of a put down.

When did you get your psychiatric degree? What school? You are arguing with the psychiatric profession, not with a Slashdot poster.
