If it has a Bullshit Bingo app that also keeps scoring, bonus if it uses the mike to listen to the drivel the markedroid drones on about and make sure nobody cheats.
NEWSFLASH, managers and markedroids: Nobody gives half a shit about your speeches in meetings. "Can we bring our laptops to your presentation so we can do some meaningful work while you hold your speech?" is the ONLY honest question you'll EVER be asked by a tech when it comes to your presentation.
But then... they're advertising to the only people that are already using the service, while those that don't wouldn't even get to see the ads because they're fed up with them and turn them off.

Bravo. Genius move, Microsoft. Look, it's ok to be pissing in the wind when you're looking for ideas, but you should first find out where it's blowing so you don't get wet.
Not (yet) true, but we're getting there. It is almost less hassle by now to get your favorite programs to work in Linux than to get them to work the way they're supposed to in Windows.
As long as commercial interests and hence the national security interests and hinge to no small part on the economic stability and power of the US use the same tools that private citizens use, protecting our privacy is basically collateral damage of protecting the US national security.
It's the CIAs job to protect Americans and keep them safe. Its job also includes protecting the US' trade secrets and commercial interests. And that by definition entails making sure that enemies of the US, be it military or economic, cannot abuse security problems that may affect US interests.
In other words, yes, pointing those security flaws out to manufacturers and making sure that these flaws cannot be abused by enemies of the US and its assets is pretty much the definition of the CIA mandate.
It does take a little bit of work though. And... let's say not only by the men.
1. Women, get into jobs where hazard pay is a reality. You get paid more if you put your life in danger. High voltage engineering, working in hazardous environments or with hazardous materials, front line military service, it's all good, and it's available to (mostly) anyone without insane requirements concerning your education.
2. Study something marketable. Gender studies may sound fun, but guess what: Nobody is going to pay you for it. Unless you somehow manage to make hiring someone who is essentially a useless sponge mandatory by law, the jobs that are available with such a degree include you saying the phrase "do you want fries with that?".
3. It's illegal in my country to pay women less than men for the same work. How I know that it actually does work? Men still have jobs. Market laws would require companies to hire women exclusively if it was permissible to pay them less. Unless of course you want to believe in the patriarchy conspiracy of men hiring only men even though they cost more. You might want to explain, though, how such a company stays in business, because it defies the laws of capitalism. If it's not that way in your country, get the laws changed.
In a nutshell, if women get paid less than men, then due to their career choices. The solution is to choose careers that pay better.
And it's just me who wonders why they add something like this, without any documentation of the calls whatsoever, and only admit it sheepishly when we basically find them with their hand in the cookie jar?
If you add calls me my binaries, I sure as FUCK expect you to tell me up front. If not, tell me one good reason why I should EVER trust your compiler again.
It's actually easy to get things going here. Shoot the CEO after a month if there isn't any progress in the cleanup. Then continue with the board, one per month, until the spill is cleaned up.
You will get results quickly. I guarantee you that.
I don't know about your country, in mine we have something called "reasonable expectations" towards a product. You can't disable that by weasel wording your contract. If you sell me a table that collapses the moment I put something on it, I can return it. Even if you put somewhere in the fine print that this is the kind of table you can't put stuff on. Because it's reasonable to expect a table to be able to sustain a certain amount of weight put onto it.
The question is now whether it's reasonable in 2017 that flat screens have working pixels...

Did. Works as designed.
Problem seems to be at your end.
Ticket closed.

Yup. How's a hoover like a PC running Win10?
Turn them on and they'll suck.
I'm still kicking myself for wasting this opportunity to make a "But it's got what planets crave!" joke.
Another lost opportunity in life that won't come again.
Depends on where you are. As far as I know, cabs can refuse you service if you appear to be a danger to driver or car.
If picking you up would lead to a fine, I'd consider that a danger to the driver.

Ok, ok, I want to pay! Sell me a version of Windows 10 that doesn't suck!
"Note that while this should disable the OneDrive ads, it will also stop you from seeing potentially important notifications from OneDrive."
Who the hell uses OneDrive and why should anyone care about "potentially important notifications" from a spammer?
But it's got what plants crave!
Colonization of Mars possible now! Vodka available!

I think the technical term for it is "male privilege".
So robosexuals steal my job now?

In the last VS I had to add a compiler option to stop you from sneaking your snooping crap into my code, what is it going to be this time?

Were you the guy that wanted to send me his pubes?
We can build another probe should that one eventually croak.
Where is your spare Earth?

I know, that's just the standard answer I give to anyone calling me an idiot.
It's ok to do it. Provided you can show me why I am. That's how I learn.

The only problem is see is that this "fix" will probably be in the veterinary sense.
I'm from Central Europe. I fail to see the difference.
