Well, if a lot of fancy games work on Linux, without first asking about "Multiple file systems, multiple distributions, multiple desktops, multiple init systems, multiple kernels". Dropbox is an infinitely simpler application. I get that it's too much trouble, and Linux is just too small a user base for them. That's the real reason they dropped support, imho.
It's like the old saying.. the husband, wife, whatever, is always the last to know. These employees probably signed up when the logo "don't be evil" was still in full force. It probably slipped right by them that Google dropped that logo. Don't know what the new one is.. "Be Evil" ?
Eventually all software will be rented and media will be streamed to approved devices. Only approved devices will be allowed to connect to the Internet.
I second that. It's headed there now. Windows as a subscription,, applications as a service.. chromebooks.. yadda yadda.. However, as long as one doesn't connect to the internet and the second hand stores are still allowed to sell used computers (none in my area are allowed to anymore.. instead they're all shredded) then there's still freedom. Sadly, where I live computer shops won't sell anything older than a windows 7box, and that's becoming diffuicult to find as well. Macs? Intel only, unless you get lucky to find a PPC G5. And even then if you find an older intel they're used school junkers that can't even run anything newer than snow leopard. Old intel macs are almost worse than useless. Only the fact that they can run SL makes them useful, with Rosetta. Soon they won't be pewermitted to connect to the iinternet anymore. I ran intoo this situation before., My ISP does appear to have a "sniffer" that checks the age of the hardware and the OS on it, and blocks dns services if so. First ran into it when I was running a popular dos browser (don't recall the name anymore.. started with an "A" i believe) maybe 15 years ago. Suddenly one day couldn't connect anymore, unless I entered the actual internet address. Tried everything,never was able to again. It'll be like that for anyone without "approved devices", just as the previous poster said..:sigh:
How can they possibly know how a cult film will perform in the future? There's every probability that it WILL do well down the line. I mean, seriously, do you really think *any* Star Wars fan is not going to bother seeing it after having seen all of the others? Even if it sucked? I think it is more likely that they're pulling these figures out of a hat (but with all the attendant paperwork to make it look as though it was thoroughly researched) in order to get a mucky big tax write off. Disney is a huge operation, after all, and certainly could use an eighty million loss on the books to lower their tax status! At least I think so...
Immediately before Trump cancelled the trip, Kim Young-One had all the worlds media watch him blow up all their nuclear test material. Let's HOPE he understands that Trump's actions are part of a negotiation strategy, otherwise he gonna be REAL pissed! You know that Major Danes did say , when doing remote viewing for the military, that some time in the near future North Korea would set off a nuke "in anger" right before the big solar blackout. Hmmm...
I'm no prude, but I don't want to see nudes on Facebook at all, and it's probably pretty easy for even the most lame AI to spot such things. There are fabulous porn sites for those that want them. FB ought to ban outright nudity, or at least the Revenge Porn shots described.
It's up to each jurisdiction to deal with the liability for posting such trash. Personally, castration on the first offense isn't a bad idea, to me. Others will rationalize the boorish behavior of so called "men".
Actually, as I understand it, they're not actually storing the photos, just the hashes. They "promise" to delete the photos afterwards. What I kind of wonder is if the privates are covered, would the hashes still work? There's no real good reason to be exposed, after all. Re: the deletion, I sure hope there's some kind of confirmation of that!
Agreed, but . . . not to defend any of the players . . . politics is an ugly, dirty game that *very* few people ever survive with any vestige of their integrity or honor intact.
Well, then, The "Donald" should come out right ahead. He had no honor or integrity to lose!
Anyone who pirates music/tv/movies is a fucking moron.
FTFY.
Bull fucking shit. If the actual AUTHOR or content CREATOR is alibe then you may a point. But I'll be damned if I'm going to reward these same media conglomerates who more than likely are the very ones that sent the creator to an early grave long after the author/original creator(s) is dead.
And you should know I am one of those affected musicians MYSELF. I fully hope people would pay for my stuff while I am alive, as long as I receive the the proceeds and not big media. But after I'm dead, I could not care less.
The cause of homelessness has nothing to do with the cost of housing.
Well, yes, it does, since rents are tied to the value of the properties. Of course it's not the *only* factor, and having been homeless for several years myself, I can attest that mental illness is, Im sure, the single most prevalent cause.
I think it would be better; although much more expensive to implement, to drop waste into an active subduction zone. Doing so would pull the waste down into the mantle, not only effectively breaking it down, but also trapping everything at the same time. This would be ideal for certain types of nuclear waste as well. Not the partially used rods and pellets of nuclear fuel mind you. If we ever smarten up and finally start building thorium reactors, the rods and pellets from uranium fission plants can easily be fully consumed in a thorium molten salts reactor. I read somewhere that used fuel rods or pellets are barely used up in terms of reactivity when they are removed from use. (which is why they get sequestered in cooling ponds for so long)
Along the same lines other, things we can't recycle today might well be recyclable in the near future. For the numerous rare earths used in electronics particularly, I can easily believe that a process can be developed that is more cost efficient as a source of rare earths than mining for new supplies. Viewed as ore, most electronics are actually richer sources of rare earths than the native ores they came from. In that light, any disposal method that leaves the elements inside basically irretrievable would short sighted,
Boy I wish I had points right now. This one deserves lots. Best comment I have read in a while!
All this hoopla about CO2 yet not a word on bovine flatulence? Or subterranean flatulence? Apparently there's lakes and big holes appearing all over the frozen north (especially Russia) that are farting methane all over. Folks that poo-poo bovine flatulence don't know just how large the issue really is.. (Honest, there's a joke in there somewhere, can't seem to get where though)...
I think it's more likely that 1) he simply didn't have the time.. profs really do have busy schedules, and 2) he would've been "busted" for doing the work himself anyways (not sure how hardline U.K. unions are re this kind of thing).
But aren't there far more advanced forms of concrete used by old "backward" cultures? Probably by these same cultures that mapped the positioons of all these stars we still can't see without high powered telescopes, or these primitive cultures that mapped the precession of the equnox, with stone knives and wooden telescopes:-) Yup, we use our modern concrete cause we're just so much smarter and advanced than them..
The status quo needs to be challenged on both the domestic and international relations sides. Prior to Trump the US had been 100% predictable when it came to addressing international relations. Being predictable gives your adversaries the upper hand in almost every conflict.
You just justified Kim acting (as portrayed in western media) as a crazy hothead willing to nuke Japan.
Russia knew it could invade Crimea
Russia didn't invade shit, propagandist. Russia had an existing base in Crimea - if moving troops through there is an "invasion" then your dumb ass invades 30 locations in Germany alone each year.
and start a civil war in Ukraine because the US reaction was totally predictable.
It was the United States that overthrew the elected government of Ukraine, you nazi POS.Do try and explain why it was totally legit for the U.S. to spend five billion to 'bring Ukraine the future it deserves' but totally illigit for Russia to accept Crimeas vote to succeed from the junta.
Thank for saving me having to write the exact same thing. It seems that there's two camps, those that follow what's REALLY going on.. which takes (heaven forbid!) some actual effort, or the MSM / "Newsmax" crowd, who gladly swallow the pablum spoonfed them... THX for not being the latter!
You really believe this psyco can suddenly become a peacenik?n I think there's really underlying reasons forcing him into it, or he wants to put everybody at ease before he pushes the button. It's either that or all the higher ups are not getting "gifted" anymore, so pushing Kim to this.. Or China forced him... Nothing to do with western politics tho. So no Nobel for Trump.. solly!

Trump is the boss
That is not how our government is set up.
Hyuk! It is NOW :-)
Agreed, but . . . not to defend any of the players . . . politics is an ugly, dirty game that *very* few people ever survive with any vestige of their integrity or honor intact.
Well, then, The "Donald" should come out right ahead. He had no honor or integrity to lose!
He's a *figurehead!* Da Boss? In ya dreams! The .... ahem .. deep state.. has no power? Sure.. buddy!
The world isn't closing in, he's just a fat moron and oblivious of his surroundings!
So what? We always knew that Homer Simpson would eventually become president...

Folks that poo-poo bovine flatulence don't know just how large the issue really is.. (Honest, there's a joke in there somewhere, can't seem to get where though)...
Yeah.. Prick an Prack.. Ain't saying who's who.. Probably interchangeable..
yup. and methane and a whole lot of very nasty other chemicals that cause global Coolng!
Who would know if he didn't scream for help?
Er... the person on the other side of the wall?
I think it's more likely that 1) he simply didn't have the time.. profs really do have busy schedules, and 2) he would've been "busted" for doing the work himself anyways (not sure how hardline U.K. unions are re this kind of thing).
