How many lives does the music industry have anyway? Can't it just stay dead? It must have been killed by enough new technologies by now, with cassettes, CD-ROMs, MP3 players, USB thumb drives, and now Youtube rips laying into it.
They are trying to leverage all the publicity they are getting from the password hack by showing everyone that they are still capable of keeping up with the state of web development in 2011.
Hitler was known for getting into fights, he used force and violence long before even getting into office... Trump has no record of ever punching anyone, ever, he doesn't use violence to solve his problems...
Trump doesn't need to use violence, he has his "second amendment people" to take care of that part.
My mother's ISP had just outsourced all their email to Yahoo a couple of months before that breach, a got a few spams from her address too. I think that was the beginning of the end for Yahoo. Until then, they were holding on, not really a big player anymore against Google, Microsoft and Amazon, but a few promising acquisitions like Flickr and del.icio.us showed they weren't ready to be written off. But since then, it has been all downhill, and the cynic in me wonders if there really was a hack this time, or this is a marketing announcement to remind everyone that they still have a Yahoo account.
I'm curious, how exactly did they prompt you? I'm not sure the altavista.net email address I used to sign up with them is still valid, but I sure haven't checked it in 15 or more years.
Probably they can't detect that there is a problem. They can only detect that there was not a problem on the current charging cycle when the battery reaches 100% capacity without exploding.
It is a new Slashdot new policy of being fair and balanced. An Emacs story has to be followed immediately by a similar but weeks old VIM story, and a Swift story has to be followed immediately by a similar but years old Angular story.
Pretty much. By multiple columns, do you mean C-x 3? Or something else? Filing a bug report would be the best way to get this addressed - the GNU Emacs maintainers do still very much care about terminal support.
It depends on phone company. Many are very sleazy, and count error packets generated by their poor network infrastructure. For example my regular network usage is around 1GB/month, but at the end of last year, I went on an overseas trip for two weeks, and bought a local 2GB prepaid card - it was gone within 3 days.
Somehow you missed where he said "the first message said the data limit had been reached and they were adding more", and the fact that all three messages arrived within 3 minutes. I don't know if any court could hold a customer to that bill, where it is clearly demonstrable that there was a limit in place, and the phone company removed it without authority, and their charges are clearly ursarous if they can reach $3000 in such a short time.
The problem here is that roaming rates have not changed since the 1990s when charging by the MB was reasonable, because noone used data for anything other than the occasional 4k WAP site.
We have this already. It is called QoS, and it is basically ignored on public networks, because it is easily abused by users (malicious or naive) setting everything to top priority. I don't see how this proposal avoids this problem.
And something being "based entirely on statistical evidence" does not invalidate or weaken anything.
It depends if you consider correlation to be weaker than causation. Statistical evidence is correlation. You now need to come up with a theory to explain the cause of that correlation, and test the theory to see if it can be proven. With only a correlation, there is still a possibility, however remote, that the relationship you have noticed has appeared in the data purely by chance.
It's a matter of degree, but let's not pretend there aren't some out there who should be censored
Whatever your views are on the limits of free speech, Israeli politicians are not exactly a neutral party here. If you want to draw a line, and have it somewhere beyond where the US might draw it, then talk to some Europeans, who tend place more limits on hate speech, but at least are going to apply it consistently. If you're going to allow Israel free rein on defining what is and isn't free speech, then other countries, particularly those in the vicinity are going to demand the same attention, and Facebook will quickly become irrelevant for any meaningful discussion.
I still have vivid memories from my childhood of my cat bringing an almost dead mouse to me, dropping it on the floor and tapping it with her paw while looking up at me as if she wanted me to fix her toy.
Do they really choose, or are they unable to read the social ques of when it would be acceptable to leave, so they just sit at their desk and keep working until everyone else has left?
If you are working 80 hour weeks and producing twice as much useful goods or services as your peers, your annual paycheck should be about twice as much.
If you are working 80 hour weeks and producing twice as much, my advice would be to switch to 30 hour weeks, and produce three times as much as your peers. There is ample research that shows that productivity is already in decline at 40 hours per week, you are only kidding yourself if you think you are improving anything by working 80 hours. In short bursts, maybe. But long term, that way lies burnout and an increased rate of potentially expensive mistakes (from losing your fingers due to an inattentive moment on a production line, to overlooking the fact that diagnostic routines need to be interrupted by a collision event in airbag control software design).
Passing savings on? What kind of commie talk is this. Real capitalism is asking the highest price the market will bear.
Especially when the product involves basic human needs like Education or Health. Quite why the food industry hasn't realised this and continues to compete to drive prices downward is a mystery to me.
It's pretty obvious if they ship with no headphone jack it also means they ship with wireless earbuds.
No, it's not obvious at all. More likely they ship with earphones that plug into their proprietary lightning connector. And as always, the earphones that ship with a phone will be cheap crap, but the only replacement for a while will be to go Bluetooth, or pay double the Apple tax for lightning connector Beats headphones.

They still haven't shaken off the stigma of the bubonic plague. But somehow cats have gotten away with schizophrenia for all these years.
Given religion's tax exempt status, the real question is whether they pay more in taxes than Google and Apple combined too...
code.google.com was Google's hosting platform for other people's code. Their own code is hosted at googlesource.com, which is still active.
Or they will move it to the logical place on the back of the phone where your finger naturally rests when you are holding the phone.

Got a 5 when they first came out. When is the crippling update supposed to happen?
Next week, isn't it? If history is anything to go by.

Burnout is never good for business. Henry Ford worked this out over a century ago, why do modern IT sweatshops think it doesn't apply to them?.

The Martians never agreed to this.
It was all because of Brian May's gerrymandering to prevent Ziggy Stardust being chosen.
