It's been suggested that results from being poor in the first place. It's not a level playing field. Fantastic if you get a good start, not so good if you don't; and that is completely beyond your control.
If i was to reverse engineer Lotus 123 that existed back in 2001 while never seeing any lotus 123 code - does that allow me to put out my own Notus 123 version and not expect to be sued by everyone and their brother?
Er, maybe a bad example since the Lotus name was purchased by IBM and they have an army of lawyers so you'd really be putting yourself in the crosshairs.
And also, lots of people want to play vanilla WoW but would a 15 year-old spreadsheet be that popular?
Not really like for like, except for the Fire but it's not really a Kindle in my opinion. Anyway, the first Kindle was about 3 years before the first iPad.
But let's be honest, Scotland is benefiting from English tax money that gives them enormous benefits for their own population and infrastructure. They are basically using English income because their own system cannot pay for itself.
You seem to be reading only propaganda. Presumably you also completely and unquestionably believe that EU membership costs the UK 55 million a day because the Daily Mail said so.
If Scotland implemented solar, now that would be impressive. All of those green plants must live on something.
The plants flourish in the frequent rain. And daylight, which they get. But sunlight is a much rarer thing. From looking out the window we're not going to get any in Edinburgh today through the unbroken grey sky. It was like this yesterday and it will probably be like this tomorrow. Sometimes it feels like it is always like this.
And it doesn't really cater for buildings with multiple occupancy; the people outside your premises walls may not get access but people on the floor above or the floor below are going to be nearer.
What's that line in Star Trek II? Something like "Khan may be remarkably intelligent but his tactics seem to be exhibiting two dimensional thinking".
That's the fundamental truth of a consumer society and it doesn't just apply to powering vehicles. Almost everything you buy will involve dubious if not downright unethical environmental or societal practices. They're just all hidden from view so as not to concern you.
And I admit to being just as guilty of being oblivious.
If it hadn't been Microsoft then it would have been some other company that became dominant supplying operating systems to desktops. The move to smaller and more mobile computing would have happened regardless as the technology enabled it. Maybe a bit differently but still inevitably. And whatever company did gain the dominance on the desktop would have been unpopular too.
I saw something years ago that was an online password strength checker. There was just no way I was going to use it because my immediate thought was that exactly this could happen.
People that persist with weak passwords are a lost cause but there are people who take the security a bit more seriously and are vaguely aware of password strength even if they don't know what password entropy is and they *want* to know if they've made a good password, making them easy fodder for traps like this.
I guess I should add "don't ever use a password strength checker" on those occasions when family ask computer security advice.
In the BBC report on this, it is mentioned that Tay apparently tweeted that they do indeed support genocide. So it takes less than 24 hours exposure to humans to achieve that belief. We're in trouble/
There is no need for macro support, no one actually uses these features
I've certainly never required one for Word but there have been several occasions where something I wanted to do in Excel could only be achieved by writing a macro. Oh sure, I perhaps *could* have managed without resorting to a macro but one instance I'd have probably still have been working on the task several years later... on the other hand maybe I wouldn't have been made redundant from that job if I hadn't tried to be efficient.
I was nodding in agreement to that and then a thought suddenly struck me... what if something like this was left deliberately weak so that a part of the population could be disposed of, should it become necessary, and then hackers are the convenient scapegoat for blame in the eyes of everyone else. Especially if the hackers were associated with parties that the monied interests find inconvenient.
I know they say never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence but maybe sometimes it is malice.

Well exactly, they need to be sure of employment prospects in case they stop being politicians.

I guess they figured out how to expand their reach to France.
Probably wasn't a stretch for them since the European realms' server hardware has always been in France.
Kindles are just a rip off of the iPad.

A cow? Boring. Show us one that killed a human.
It is still there and it had 7 comments when I looked.
To be vaguely on-topic in this thread: are you sure that you are using your browser correctly?
The comments for this type of articles always seem to follow the same pattern.
1. There will be more critical than supportive comments. Although for Windows that's understandable.
2. Approximately 200 ACs could have done it better although they never seem to announce when their product will be ready.
Disclaimer: actually posted using Vivaldi but I'm not really a fanatic user of any browser, having 4 installed on the machine I'm currently using.
Interesting. Kind of like writing letters to Santa and sending them up the chimney except they are more likely to be read.
It makes me wonder if there was a...
"Dear Mysterious Hackers,
Please can you extract and distribute all the documents pertaining to offshore tax avoidance handled by firms like Mossack Fonseca.
Thanks in advance,
The actual tax payers of the world"

How do we know this isn't The Washington Post's 1st April article? Every newspaper I know of runs at least one.
Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

It's not that the sea levels are rising! Oh no, it's because all the extra weight is make the ground sink.

I thought some of its comments wouldn't look out of place in a Slashdot Anonymous Coward posting... maybe some of them are bots. Just sayin'.

Well that would just put them on equal footing with pilots.

Microsoft as the precursor to the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. Interesting.

Doesn't this indicate that the Fir Bolg weren't wiped out and that their descendants are alive and well in modern Ireland?
