then enforce those laws in what *appears* to be a very spotty way.
Yes thats exactly how they ended up getting mass reductions on horrendously dirty bikes in major cities/sarcasm.
If you think China is some spotty ignoring country that is all about talk and no action then all you're really saying is "I haven't been to China more than once and a haven't seen the massive changes over the past 20 years, but I feel qualified to comment anyway."
Every sub on Reddit is filled with stories of horrible customer support. People rarely go out of their way to comment about good customer support. That's the nature of the beast.
SSH is not native on *ix. Native implies that it is a function of the underlying system. It is a separate program that just so happens to be installed on nearly every *IX platform by default. And on that vane there's an RDP client and server for every *IX out there.
The younger generation are screwed enough and now you want to remove from them another enabler for them to become self sufficient (the ability to actually go to their job/university)?
What a dumb idea. Why not solve the drinking problem rather than screw the responsible people? You'll notice in many countries where alcohol policies aren't as strict, getting shitfaced right when you're old enough to drink ceases being a national passtime.
In a battle between what you think the customer should get and what the customer thinks s/he should get, the customer is always right.
That's correct but still not applicable in market economics. The problem is the use of the customer here is singular. The expression is right if you treat customers as plural. In the singular case it's often better to get rid of a customer if you have high volume as simply entertaining that annoying customer can be more of a drain on the business that the resulting complaints.
I used to laugh when my partner gave customers a quick refund and turned them away if they complained. The customer would complain "But I want my coffee" and she would retort "I can't make a coffee to your standards, go away you're holding up my customers."
They only got one warning before security was called.
Now if you're a low-volume, high margin specialty shop, or provide a service that depends heavily on reviews, then the customer is definitely right.
IBM's division definitely went under! They were effectively blacklisted and unable to sell hardware. When they were puchased by Hitachi they were bought at bargain basement prices, the same price that Maxtor went for in the Seagate acquisition when Seagate bought a struggling company that has gone through half a decade of financial difficulties. When Hitachi bought it the only value left for IBM was in the commercial contracts. It took many years for Hitachi to turn the brand around, and after they did they sold drives at a fraction of the volume that IBM did and were subsequently bought by WD for more than double the original IBM acquisition cost.
As bad as the IBM Deathstars were, I never actually lost any data because of them because they always gave some sign of impending doom before they finally failed
You clearly never ran one in a RAID configuration. They were notorious for not making it through a full rebuild cycle once the dreaded click of death started. I never lost data either, backups and prioritising what data needed to be taken from the degraded arrays are the only reason though.
I also had one last over 10 years in a workstation that was almost never turned off.
Not all models had issues. I still have a working one here. At least I assume it's working, I'm not sure I've got any hardware with a PATA interface anymore so I can't test it.
In all reality, the broadband modem is probably in need of a name change
Why? The only thing that's changed is the number of different modulation techniques that it can modulate and demodulate. Just because they now do 64QAM, and APSK instead of PAM doesn't make them any less modemish.
Not at all. Those very difference are what aligns a typical US state to an entire country. Or are you saying that Arkansas and California are both identical in the USA? Because from any other country they effectively look like two different countries and sure as fuck act like it.
There's a reason the USA is called the United States and why those very states govern themselves and the power of the federal government is incredibly limited.
You can bullshit by drawing lines, but you can't make up new governance systems.
The injection of currency has to reach a critical level before it deflates the value of the currency.
No it doesn't. Just because something deflates doesn't negate the inflationary component of it. The economy differently if inflation is 5% or 4%. The opposing factor still has an affect.
You're not applying enough theory. By splitting hairs you're making no point other than you prefer to split hairs than talk about the topic at hand.
Nothing prevents anyone from being sued. Things only prevent them from winning. These things include the incredibly high bar required for investors to sue companies, and also the fact that his brain fart caused the price to spike up instead of down.
The volatility of stock markets works against the people making these claims.
That's good, more power too him. What else can we do to show that the US is no different than the 3rd world shitholes they spend so much time criticising?

So, any car company who would take advantage of this opportunity would be run by idiots with no foresight.
So only General Motors then.

and you'll get an instant niche
Not a good target product in a low margin business.

This is really the end of personal computing
Nope. It's the end of a couple of greedy arsehats.

What possible reason could someone have for returning it other than it was defective?
I returned a hammer once, used. I bought it online, when it arrived it was not the size I expected. I used it once out of necessity and returned it.
You clearly don't understand the many MANY reasons that people return things.
Unless it is refurbished by the manufacturer itself
Wait what? Who in their right mind buys electronics that have been refurbished by someone other than the manufacturer?

3-The item is listed for half or less of the going online price for the same item brand new.
5-Items cannot be listed as "open box" if the item has ever been removed from the box! Removal from the box makes it USED!
Sorry but no. Your arbitrary line just makes you look like an entitled brat.

There's a big difference between going after a community, and going after a company selling a product which violates your restricted license.
You're the only one in this discussion talking about the European Union. Everyone else is talking about Europe.

The biggest problem I see that most software is build around single threads.
And we haven't run one piece of software in a long time.
*Posted from a machine that currently is using 30% CPU in another application on it's own single thread for a virus scan.
You used to see FreeBSD rule the top uptime lists
And then sysadmins got some common sense and rebooted to apply some kernel security fixes.
But why would we need 2.6Gt of aluminium? You know what we could do with? 30Mt less CO2 in the air.
Wait until the next financial crisis. Crypto will work. Your bank cards may not.
Darling, crypto doesn't even work now, let alone at the next financial crisis when the Tulip Craze 2.0 will be over.

She is not part to a political struggle — she is not even a US citizen.
You just managed to prove to all of slashdot that you don't have the slightest clue about the topic at hand.
Yet we are not allowed to be offended that you refer to our President as a dotard in a playpen.
You can be offended if you wish. Although expect us to think less of you for your defense of your dotard in a playpen in chief.
