And better nobody thinks that "company policy dictates that I must not" is an answer that CEO is going to accept. This is basically why the CEO fraud is so successful: CEOs with delusions of grandeur and a short temper, with underlings too scared to not jump when someone yells at them through the phone because they're used to it.
Well, maybe that's the idea behind it: A two factor auth that even CEOs and politicians can't fuck up.
Actually, I'm really curious now, so far my attempts have been thwarted. Every time I come up with a foolproof system, the board comes up with a more foolish CEO.
Think again. We're talking about trusting Google with guarding your secrets.
An apt comparison would be to not have medical attention from medieval doctors that treat you with bloodletting and enemas while consulting the stars to find the right cure instead of the pleb's answer to a cold, i.e. herbal tea and bedrest.
You have to excuse them, they're not used to not being the biggest market where people would jump through even the most ridiculous hoops to develop for them.
I would have to check, but I could imagine that this is actually the case. But you know what they say, you can lead a donkey to the well but you can't make him drink, and you can make it easy to develop plugins but you can't force people to make one for a browser nobody uses.
Well, there isn't really a requirement that an organism must serve a purpose. I mean, what's the purpose of human, to ruin the game for the rest of the players?
By that logic, we shouldn't celebrate the elimination of smallpox...
You ARE aware that for your analogy to work, weapons need to have any kind of use except killing stuff? Oh, right, we can use them for fun.
That's basically ALL you can sensibly do with them. There is no "productive" purpose these things have. Recreation and killing stuff is basically all that's there when you ask "what is that good for?"
Come back when you manage to find an example with more sensible applications.
Me? I didn't tell nobody to do anything like that? He asked if I want to call my mommy and I said sure, who wouldn't wanna talk to his mommy? I thought he's nice to me 'cause I have such a perfect behaviour record.
Prisoners are to wardens what kids are to their parents: People with WAY more time at their hands and WAY more criminal energy to thwart whatever scheme you can come up with to reign them in. And no conscience keeping them from using it against you.
MS software isn't quite the track record of "best, most useful" software. More to the point, they sometimes have really great ideas and can be quite visionary, but from conception to execution, far too many idiots get to meddle with it, demand "compatibility" and "oh, we could add THIS to it" that it becomes an unusable mess. Example: Registry. By itself a great idea, storing all configurations in a single database, easy to manage, easy to secure, easy to maintain... until suddenly EVERYTHING had to be included, along with nothing being required to use it, resulting in the sluggish mess it is today.
I would expect nothing less from "Windows Linux".
They may even have some good ideas for the init and maybe even replace the/etc mess with something that's easier to manage, but I already know between design and execution they'll fuck it up so badly that it makes systemd look like a very good, stable, secure and easily manageable solution in comparison.
Well, I only know if I was an ancient and they wanted to build something that promotes our insight in the universe on my holy ground, I'd try to get an audience with Pele and try to convince her that these guys should be left alone and she might find some tourist trap to flood with lava instead.
Nobody would give a shit about your religion if you didn't constantly try to push it into education and law. Quite frankly, I couldn't care less about some loonies scooting about on their knees in front of a corpse nailed to an IKEA set if they didn't want to force me to do it, too.
Folks, we have been playing god for a few millennia by now. Earlier with selective breeding, now more directly. The difference is negligible. And when it comes to the "unnatural" argument... well, look at a Chihuahua and then talk again.
And introducing "foreign" genes doesn't make it any different. These genes are just like everything else built by the four standard amino acids. With a different sequence than most of what you found in the original organism, granted, but in the end, what exactly is that supposed to mean?
What we need to watch out for is how genes interact with each other. But that's something we can identify pretty quickly. Aside of that, what exactly is the big scare?
They sent some shaman (or whatever the druggy is called in their religion) to converse with the ancients and they said a gift of a few million bucks could appease them...
Mostly because right wingers don't give a shit either way. It's not their religion, and science that doesn't bother their religion, so due to the general "screw you, I got mine" philosophy, why would they give a shit?

You mean as some kind of payback? Let others feel what it's like if we fuck up their ecosystem by bringing in animals it's not prepared to handle?
Nah, they run their own mail servers for the official stuff.

Those that we know we should fire out of a cannon and those that we don't know we should yet.
There's the third kind: The kind that doesn't store personal information unnecessarily.
Hint: You're not the third kind.

That's pretty much it. As usual, the problem is not technology per se, it's how it's used.
Dunno, but they make tasty food.

So you catch a few idiots, then they get wiser.

The explanation is simple. His wife told him a man told her it's better for her health and that of his kids if he lets the kingpin use the cellphone.

It's science which they distrust vs. "false" religion they don't like.
If they can be bothered to watch at all, they sit back with a bowl of popcorn.
Still no reason to let Equifax continue to exist.
You first might want to check what species rely on them for food.
