The real complaint here is that "tech companies" are getting all the protections of being common carriers without any of the responsibilities of being common carriers. So they're not liable for ads posted for criminal services, but they can cancel ads that conflict with their own political agenda.
SCOTUS made the correct decision in this case. One can only presumed these women sued Backapages because their pimps - who actually forced them into prostitution - didn't have any more.
I've only driven a few times in SoCal (I'm an Aussie), but we've passed police every time watching the freeway not giving a damn that the traffic is freely flowing at 70-75 mph.
I've lived here 35 years, and the part I'm having a hard time not laughing out loud at is the idea of traffic moving that fast. The last time I drove from LAX to Orange County, about 40 miles or so, it took 4 1/2 hours. Granted, it was rush hour, but it's very rare that speed limits matter at all.
I think that's a sensible attitude to have in regards to where their time should be spent.
More likely, they were just too stunned at traffic moving that fast to have any idea what to do.
Especially the cities that rely on traffic tickets to pay for the city budget. Auto-driving cars that never violate traffic laws will be doom for many small towns.
The House is only allowed to choose between the top three candidates who got electoral votes. There was no compromise candidate possible from the top three.
Trump may play nice with Putin and his cronies in private business dealings, but what the President does is far too public for that. And Trump's ego is far too enormous to let him be seen as bowing down to anyone.
I expect Putin knows that, and, while he's batshit crazy, he's smart, and won't push it. When Trump needs someone to fight with, it'll be China, not Russia. (And that will be a purely economic fight, and it won't last long, because China can't afford a trade war with the US. Our economy would suffer, for a while, but theirs is already a house of cards, and the smoking crater it would become would only heal through revolution. And they know it.)
I note that in all the discussion of how Clinton won the popular vote, in CalExit America, she actually lost by about half a million votes. California's vote was that lopsided.
And inevitably so. If the election was Jesus returned to earth versus a dead dog's bloated corpse, the dead do would win California if it were running as a Democrat.
The closest California has gotten, in many years, to voting state wide for a Republican was the governator, who wasn't even a RINO (he just played one in the movies).
The people who voted third party are the reason Trump won. Nobody voted for either one of them, they voted against the one they hated more. And that was, in the ways that mattered, Clinton.
I'll take another look at it. I haven't have all that much success with convenience roll-ups in the past. I firmly believe this is intentional on Microsoft's part.
I have no troubles with my own computers, at home or at work. But when talking about an admin, you're talking about computers used by other people, hundreds of other people, in my case, many of whom are not the most computer literate in the world. You, of course, apparently have zero experience with being an admin, will suggest those people should be fired, proving you also have zero experience with business management, as well.
So, how's the burger flipping business these days?
Anybody who knows Windows at all knows you have to periodically reinstall the operating system, and you really don't want to skip the security updates.
As best I can tell, it is now impossible to reinstall 32 bit Windows updates, because the first time you run it, the master list of all updates exceeds the maximum possible memory for 32 bit operating systems. It might still be possible to - slowly - get through it with automatic updates every night for a week, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Meanwhile, I just reinstalled 64 bit Windows on a box here at work. The first round of updates took three days to process the list, before I could even begin to actually install any updates.
So treasure your Win 7 installs, and take good care of them. If you bork it up, odds are, you won't be able to reinstall.
When you have signed a settlement agreement and don't want to live up to it, it's not a simple matter.
And the internet cannot, ever, under any circumstances, be trusted to give useful legal advice. You, for instance, are a perfect example of why he should get legal advice from a lawyer, not from the internet.
When you've already signed a settlement agreement, and want to violate it, it's not a trivial matter. That's why he should get legal advice from a lawyer, not the internet.
But he didn't ask about whether it affects terms of a settlement, he asked if it affects a contract.
And asking the wrong question and getting an answer not actually related to his situation is why he should get legal advice from a lawyer, not from the internet.
According to the press coverage, yes, it explicitly invalidates such clauses. However, you should get legal advice from a lawyer, not from the internet.

> SCOTUS made the correct decision in this case.
SCOTUS tends to avoid intervening until there are multiple appellate courts with contradictory decisions, creating regional interpretation of laws.
There are conflicting rulings in different districts, but this may well be the first to get to the SCOTUS level.
The SCOTUS hears a case to clean up the mess.
So until there are a couple of decisions that are different from the first one, the appellate decision stands as precedent.
Only in that district, and only if they say it's precedent.
Of course they are.
The real complaint here is that "tech companies" are getting all the protections of being common carriers without any of the responsibilities of being common carriers. So they're not liable for ads posted for criminal services, but they can cancel ads that conflict with their own political agenda.

Can't they?
Google, the company running the most all-pervasive surveillance system in all of human history, is fighting to protect their own privacy?
Not that I needed another belly laugh, after the last election, but dude, that's funny.
we're closer and closer to organ cloning.
"...hasn't announced which district she wants to represent..."
But she has decided the party she'll be running for: The Carpetbagger Party.
I think we can safely dismiss her as irrelevant.

Here in so-cal, if you're not doing 10+ over the speed limit (80 in 60-65 usually)
A comedian, eh? And a funny one, at that. Southern Californians driving over the speed limit! That is a good one.

The people who voted third party are the reason Trump won. Nobody voted for either one of them, they voted against the one they hated more. And that was, in the ways that mattered, Clinton.
The goal was ultimately to try to send the election to the House of Representatives.
Who would have looked at the available candidates (the top three who got electoral votes only) and made Trump President anyway.
This mostly wasn't about opposition to Clinton
So much as it was about clueless idiots who have no idea who the real world works.
Pity she didn't win the election.

Nice theory, but in reality, when you have 100+ computers, and the OS install isn't static, hardly practical.

You must be new. People get everything from the Internet now - dates, porn, news, fake news, etc...
