False. Just like in this case where they are recalling dangerous batteries they still would have recalled the battery. Postage makes up some 75% of the cost of the recall.
But since you missed the fact that we're now talking about the Note 4, and that it has a different failure mechanism to the Note 7 if you want to talk about both scenarios at once it just means that your post will be wrong regardless of how you spin it.
Yes when I "upgraded" to ACDSee Pro 5 it basically forced my move to Picasa. I still keep ACDSee around as Picasa sometimes craps itself when opening files with a width larger than around 40000 pixels.
You completely failed to get the point. Facebook is a primary method of mass communication for many, as is twitter. Much of the news of the day now happens on these networks first. With everyone being a producer of the content it also makes it the most easy to get word out about people's status.
We're not living lives of fear, we're living lives of anxiety. We always have. You may not remember the bombings in Manchester in 1996. I do. I had a lump in my throat for about 10 hours while I was wondering if my cousin who worked in the area was still alive before a family member finally managed to get him on the phone.
Compared to that last week while we were at work when news broke of the Barcelona attack we all wondered if one of our colleagues was okay. Not 10min passed before her Facebook status was marked as "safe" even though she was on Las Ramblas at the time of the attack.
Thinking that this is a bad feature doesn't show the world is afraid, it shows you lack empathy.
Get them grounded in something that won't be obsolete with the next language fad.
I can't say a single "language fad" has ever made the lessons I learnt in LOGO or in LISP obsolete. The submissions asked for how to teach people to program, not how to copy and paste and interpret code in a specific language.
Regardless of what language fad happens you will still remember how it's done from your first procedural language, your first function based language, and your first object oriented one (though the last concept is hardly suitable to tech a general school population.
There should be like 3 computer functions that mitigate that risk and oh, a dozen PHYSICAL ACTS that should have stopped it.
Nope. You're assuming that every point in the line checks forward and checks back. That's just not the case. The 3 computer functions and the dozen physical acts work in isolation without knowing what happened prior or post. The reason for this plentiful. There are legitimate reasons for some things to be shipped for free. There are legitimate reasons for some things to cost nothing. There's legitimate reasons for multiple bits of paperwork that control different parts of the process being generated (such as packing slips not agreeing with receipts). The next chain in the link doesn't check over if the previous chain did the work.
Not everything is interconnected and self checking.
That really comes down to intent. If a mistake happens and you walk away with a lot of change then no crime was committed. You're not required to correct other people's mistakes.
If you knew that one person made the same mistake over and over again and you went to that specific person to knowingly exploit his mistake then you're defrauding them. That is a crime.
I bought 4 HDDs for $23 ea from an online retailer in Australia (list price $230 at the time). I did it once. The law is on my side. If I went back and then stocked them out ordering over and over again, and then went to on-sell the HDDs to someone else at a much higher price that would be committing a crime.
WinAmp 3.x is what happened to WinAmp. What a piece of shit that was. I stopped using WinAmp in favour of several alternates over the years (currently Foobar) long before "mobile phones" did anything other than make calls and send 120 characters of text.
Yeah it did back in 2003. Now it's one of the most bloated pieces of shit around, and the simplified viewer doesn't support something as fundamental as loading the monitor profile before displaying a damn picture.
I used to use ACDSee as the only application that displayed pictures in the correct colour. Now it seems to be the only one that doesn't. *golfclap*.
Who decides if someone needs encryption or not? Do you know what all your visitors are being persecuted for? You're privileged enough to not need encryption for your specific data in your specific geo-political area. The same can not be applied universally.
FTFY. Unless you're an employee of Greenpeace the odds of you actually looking up on e-waste policies or giving enough of a crap to even type e-waste into Google is close to 0%.
But FYI, Surfaces devices are refurbished and either used in fast trades to replace other broken devices or sold through the Microsoft store at a discount.... Depending on the level of damage of course.
Carriers need to fucking deal with the fact that customers don't want their bloatware.
But don't they... I think you'll find that phones that have been bloatware free have generally not sold well. Even Samsung did pure Android releases free of their own version and of carrier crap of it's earlier smartphones which generally bombed.
For the most part consumers have spoken mostly through their silence on the matter.
Fully 93% of handsets aren't running the latest secure version
Actually you'll find most handsets are running the "latest secure version". Security fixes are backported and rolled out via OTA to many handsets that don't qualify for updates. Just because I have nothing like Android 7.0 doesn't mean I didn't get a security update rolled out OTA last week. Also many of the security problems in Android are patched through the Play Store as system components have become more and more separated from the core OS.
I don't have access to 7.x but then I also don't run the latest Windows 10, or the most recent Linux Kernel. All that has nothing to do with security.
And? Still recommended by many others. The problem with the recommendation based only on breakage is that it ignores a very streamlined system for replacing broken items.
It's funny, every time I mention how bad software is I get modded down. Not necessarily any particular software, but software in general. Between clunky interfaces, having to go spelunking to find what you want, bloat, you name it, software today is not a pleasure to work with.
You think software is bad you should see some of the users. Big warnings, in caps, users don't understand and from the options of "Stop and think and read the manual" or "proceed with thing I don't understand" they choose the latter.

RTFA right back at you: "How can you teach programming to schoolchildren?"
Context: it fucking matters.

Generally if you crowd source this you end up with a pretty good result. You don't need anywhere near "everyone" to make it work.

But would they be charged with a crime?
That really comes down to intent. If a mistake happens and you walk away with a lot of change then no crime was committed. You're not required to correct other people's mistakes.

Except they aren't and this won't help.
Why? Games now go to manufacturing LONG before they're anywhere close to being play-ready.
Err no. Many times you're not downloading anything to do with the game. Some times you're downloading lovely feature additions or minor bug fixes.
We're frogs getting boiled slowly
Actually what we are is a bunch of experts at hyperbole that could make even a Fox News presenter blush.
I ditched it 15 years ago. I still light a candle every anniversary of the death of Winamp ... errr I mean the release of Winamp 3.
Is what happened to WinAmp.
WinAmp 3.x is what happened to WinAmp. What a piece of shit that was. I stopped using WinAmp in favour of several alternates over the years (currently Foobar) long before "mobile phones" did anything other than make calls and send 120 characters of text.
Thank God ONE software package hasn't become a bloated piece of crap
Funny. I remember "bloated piece of crap" being my first criticism of Winamp 3. Admittedly we've moved the bar a bit since then.
Yeah it did back in 2003. Now it's one of the most bloated pieces of shit around, and the simplified viewer doesn't support something as fundamental as loading the monitor profile before displaying a damn picture.

Photoshop has multiple modes you can activate that just needlessly complicate it.
That's an interesting critique given GIMP's ability to fundamentally change how the entire interface works in the settings.

Who cares about e-waste disposal?
FTFY. Unless you're an employee of Greenpeace the odds of you actually looking up on e-waste policies or giving enough of a crap to even type e-waste into Google is close to 0%.
But FYI, Surfaces devices are refurbished and either used in fast trades to replace other broken devices or sold through the Microsoft store at a discount. ... Depending on the level of damage of course.
LOL you waste 3 minutes of your trip "filling" up your car. What a daft and outdated concept. My car is just full every time I get to it.

Wow those people who modded you Informative are humourless or clueless.
I laughed though :-)
Good. Your XP system should be forced off the internet. You're a threat to yourself and everyone else.
