Either one beats the hell out of blind acceptance just because of the source. And besides, the business of politics and advertising is pretty incredulous.
It's likely because they would not compromise the security of their products for the US in the manner that US TLAs demanded.
Yeah, I know that's the ongoing gag, but if they were doing that, it's more likely to keep US TLA stuff from coming back into China, not for user security and privacy. And the same factory makes many brands. Let's not mince meat. There is nothing secure or private about any of these devices. Their own network chatter (which runs 24/7) provides more info than the voice calls and email each day. Nobody is trying to protect us from the TLAs. It's just not permitted.
:-) Whoops... Upon closer reading of my comment, I was talking about the shot I took at youtube, where people spend the workday watching cat vids. I too, find reading much easier than listening to some video droning on.
You do have a point (though some bosses expect immediate response, no matter the hour)... But the cheap shot taken at facebook/youtube should have been more obvious
Yeah, but which direction? Nobody gets any rest anymore, and we are drowning in more bureaucracy. We generate much more paperwork than ever. And worse, we lost our secretaries! Now we have to type our own shit! This keyboard crap is so primitive! Thank god for facebook and youtube!
Where did I say anything about putting in democrats, or republicans? If you expect results, you'll have to get rid of both. I mean *Sweep the House*! Make it look like new. If it doesn't happen, well, I guess there's nothing to do but argue about it for two more years, again. Either way, we are on our own. We are the only "oversight" that counts. The government's failure is our failure. Until that is acknowledged there will be no progress.
So is voting, should the desire arise... Big opportunity coming up to... *Sweep the House* (not under the carpet this time). Start there and everything else will be trivial.
yes, well, decades of talk about chronic problems... What are the voters doing about it? Is everybody just going to sit back and wait for the politicians to retire on their own? We shouldn't depend on the courts to clean up the mess we make. With minimal effort we can elect people that don't crap on the carpet, and put the ones that do in the kennel outside, all without lawyers and judges. It would save a lot of time and money.
which allows an attacker to trick an application into drawing malicious code instead of the correct library.
That doesn't sound like it comes from Microsoft. It seems to me that the regular installer takes bits and pieces from here and there to assemble the app on your computer. I don't see that risk if you download the whole chunk from MS. And I don't let it update automatically. I definitely could be wrong, but I still feel better doing my installs from a local file/folder that I know (or think I know) has the correct library.
"Obligation"? No, its only "obligation" to me is to call up what I search for. It's up to me, the user, to refine the the query and filter results, not them. They should be a mere data dump over a dumb pipe.
The medium shouldn't be private. When an entity expands to a certain size and becomes the dominant player on a medium mostly because they 'were there first' it's time for it to become a commons that nobody owns.
The wire, yes. Content, NO! Just keep the market open to competition. Price (and "control") the internet by bandwidth, nothing else.
They don't deal on the retail level. The "news" means nothing to them. The opinions of the banks are all that matters. There is only one way to get even. Pay off your debts and/or don't take out new credit.

Making it common turns people's filter defaults into "It's probably fake" unlike before.
That's the proper way to do it. Hopefully we'll see the same attitude towards politicians and advertising in general.

Is there a reason to single them out? Are their denials insufficiently vehement?

The operation was a success, but the patent died.

Why? Just use a reader that doesn't run code.

That way you can be kinda sorta sure the entire thing came from Microsoft, maybe...

Yeah. Don't be one.

No, if Egypt is invaded, it will be for the water. War is still the most profitable way of gathering natural resources.
There's not a lot, but there is some good shit... When you automate it, it doesn't cost a dime in human effort, which is all that matters.
I guess some people are kinda sensitive.
Why bother even repairing them? Apple will do just as well to throw them in the shredder and ship you another one.
The money shot: nobody is willing to vote them out
Nothing else counts until that issue is acknowledged and addressed.
