Just saying, MS isn't the first one to the party here at all. Not sure if you can or can't turn the MS ads off either, but I'm pretty sure the ads come free of charge.
I'm sure they acknowledge that they're going to lose some users over this. However, from a business POV the users they're losing are bottom tier for them, so they are indicating that they're losing more from piracy and unlicensed production use from this program than what they're gaining from the users.
A few bad apples don't spoil the bunch, but when most of them are rotten, you throw it away right?
It's also unreasonable to expect a commercial publicly traded business to continue all programs forever, their loyalty isn't to the user, but to the stock holder... and if the stock holders are losing money... well they're the most important from a business POV.
Right... they look at how much they're making on technet, and then look at a estimate of how much they may be losing when the test environment becomes the production environment and licenses aren't upgraded. When B is greater than A, the program gets cut.
For an annual subscription fee of a few hundred dollars, subscribers get the right to download virtually all of the desktop and server software Microsoft sells, with multiple product keys. The software is licensed for evaluation purposes only, but that restriction is part of the license agreement and not enforced in the software itself.
Could it be they're trying to cut pirating / abuse as a business entity to raise license sales? Nah, it's a conspiracy to spite the users.. ya that's it.
Actually, the proper procedure is to make sure they're comfortable and call an ambulance. If it was you on the other hand, I'd probably just laugh and kick you a couple of times for good measure fucktard.
Also dummifying the UI isn't what firefox used to be about, I've always liked how you can select what you want or don't want UPON install, unlike blanket check boxes in IE.
Right... this is the whole strong helping the weak philosophy at play here. My only statement is that the weak need to remember it's a choice for the strong to help them, not a right.
What you'll find though is pride gets in the way, when I was younger I did try to help people I didn't really know that well only to get "who is this guy and why does he thing he knows better" type attitudes / responses.
So... as a result, call me a terrible person, but I leave people to their own problems now no matter how basic, I have my own to deal with.
And when I read something like TFA, I immediately flag atm fees and know that I would mitigate them (my bank has free atm withdrawals at their atms), but passing that knowledge on? Words to the wind.
In this case, the manager is being pressured by execs to find a guy specifically with ERP experience.
The company uses just recruiters never direct hires and there's 2 tiers of those, a recruiter hub, and then all the individual recruiters. Oh, and I work for one of the big ones, so I'd imagine things are similar in other places as well.
Not so easy now is it? Esp. when you don't even know who's going to be doing the screening or preliminary interview.
“In light of recent situations, statements such as the one Justin made are taken seriously,” said an Austin police detective in a statement.
Yelling fire in a theater would be the dark side here, while his situation is in the grey, so it sounds like you don't understand what a grey area is, but that's ok. Still, that statement by the PD is circumstantial, last I heard people didn't go to jail for circumstantial statements. The whole situation smells of abuse of power.
This is in the grey area of yelling "fire" in a theater. If the school was evacuated or went on lock down as a result, that's people's time and money being expended and that's damaging.
I don't really get what they have here though, thus the statement about the DOJ monster, it sounds like a case of a totalitarian execution of power by LEOs and a fat judge. When is enough enough? For a DOJ employee ruining a kids life the sentence should be nothing less than life in the confines they've created.
"trying" to hire Americans sounds unenforceable, thus it got removed.
Here's my view on the disconnect in skills though... we're trying to hire an ERP person, we had a home grown person who's gone. We've been unable to do so... why? ERP systems are popular and common at large organizations, but who thinks of listing ERP on their resume? SAP sure, ERP no. There is so much crap floating around that after a job I've gone back to my notes to figure out all the little things I've done that can land me somewhere else (who would've thought sitefinity would be one).
So, people are qualified, they don't know it, and the org doesn't know it... nor do I know how to fix it, just an observation.
A system with too many H1-B's will implode onto itself when communication becomes unmanageable. Same thing as outsourcing being brought back on shore after a massive exodus and a plethora of unmanageable code.
Want job security? Support that code, the $5 an hour savings translate into a $40-$50 support person later.
Also, managing Mickey D's sounds pretty easy... if it paid more... hmmm.
The teen's stupid, the woman's human waste, and... the authorities don't know what jk means. When he gets out I hope they sue for 1st amendment rights violations. Whoever issued that warrant is the real monster here.
Not only an idiot, but its flat out impossible, as.NET requires IIS. My point is the platform limitations you've mentioned have been superseded by web applications a long time ago.
While throwing idiot around, I'd also like to mention that only idiot clients run mixed environments requiring multi-platform applications. No need to put lipstick on a pig.

Hironobu Sakaguchi is laughing his ass off.

As far as I know they're still in there, so its more like MS is following Ubuntu's lead on this approach.

Pirated versions are a lot easier to detect and can be disabled via update.
I think you've got that backwards, you'd want to audit the program and THEN cancel it, not cancel it and audit it.
I'm sure they acknowledge that they're going to lose some users over this. However, from a business POV the users they're losing are bottom tier for them, so they are indicating that they're losing more from piracy and unlicensed production use from this program than what they're gaining from the users.

Firefox has support? What's the toll free number?
Also dummifying the UI isn't what firefox used to be about, I've always liked how you can select what you want or don't want UPON install, unlike blanket check boxes in IE.
what's the argument?
If you don't have a bank account... doesn't cashing a check cost money too?
Right... this is the whole strong helping the weak philosophy at play here. My only statement is that the weak need to remember it's a choice for the strong to help them, not a right.

That's the authorities basis:

Yes. What's so hard to understand here?
Where common sense factors in here is what most people are having trouble understanding I believe.
Yes, they made national news.

Hackers can now become professional burglars. Revenge of the nerds anyone?

DERP.
You need #1 to get the original screws out and put in #2.
