Fool. The American people own their government by right spelled out in the Constitution. They can't "take over" what is theirs. Armed citizens are the ultimate last ditch the protection against the government being taken over by rogue elements. Go crawl back under your rock.
Tell that to the guys with guns.
Note: I am not saying if I am referring to the Government or the NRA.
"We were using your electricity and potentially damaging your computer for a whole month without your permission! APRIL FOOLS! Ha we got you good!"
Yeah, there is no way in hell this was meant as an April Fools joke. More of a "Lets steal resources from our customers to make $$$$!, Our customers are so stupid they would never realize that their video cards are melting!" And, as always for a business, they only came clean once caught, and are only sorry they got caught, not sorry that they did it.
Thanks for the translation. TFS was like trying to read a telegraph message.
You have to look at the summary encoded. The editors work for the articles. But there's way too much information to actually read the article. You get used to it. I don't even see the summary anymore. It's just first-post this, APK that....
We are now letting companies directly write laws instead of simply bribing elected officials.
Of course the Washington state senators know that the Microsoft guys will only be looking to protect their own interests. But Microsoft officially owns Washington state, they can simply threaten to move billions of dollars of taxpayers out of state if they do not bend over and do whatever Microsoft says.
Fine, this is not a lie: "Even if my employer sucked my cock I would not lend it an amount of money worth more than my paycheck, much less my house."
I can not believe in any possible legal world that an employer could compel an employee to give it any amount of money. If they fired you for insubordination (cock sucking demands withstanding), you would have an excellent unemployment case.
I worked at a company that changed form company-credit cards to forcing employees to bear the brunt of travel expenses and begging the company to reimburse them on time. This is at a place already notorious for being slow on expense reports and paperwork. I announced that I was done travelling for the company. My manager decided it was easier to send other people on the road than test this demand. (It helps being an indispensable employee, if I was not holding all the cards I probably would have begun seeking new employment.... err... earlier than I did. Also, my rather awesome manager also knew I hated to travel for business, and would always make every effort to avoid sending me on the road anyhow.)
That's not the computer's label - that's the name of the job being run.
Well it is a picture of the Plugboard that represents the program. Which I am sure was written in the 1940s or 50s. (Note: i was off by a couple of decades on the age of the machine in my previous post.)
Computers this old are always running programs nearly as old, if not older. A manager at a bank I worked for in 2006 quipped, "We are using the most powerful mainframes IBM makes... running COBOL programs written in the 70s."
And before someone starts on the "If it aint' broke dont fix it." line of reasoning... the code was a 35 year old refuse pile that nobody could make any sense of anymore.
It might be amusing to have a plant rights movement, where the supporters refuse to eat, wear or use all plant products, or plant-derived medicine; eat nothing but animals; and firebomb and threaten people who experiment on plants.
I'm going right now to register the name "Plant Rights International", start an international grass-roots (heh) movement, and get all indignant and outraged. It's what people live for.
As I heard once... "I'm not a vegetarian because I am against eating animals... I just really hate plants."
Using standard family names only children of brothers of your father would have the same last name as you. So for most people the vast majority of their cousins would not have the same name. (In my case none at all, my father only has sisters.)
All of my family for the past 3 generations are from towns in Western Pennsylvania, which has a population of nearly 4 million. Today in the United States people are far more mobile, I have family members from my generation living in a dozen states, all of us grew up in the same town. Even living in the one large city in the same region, the chances of me even meeting someone from my hometown are remote, let alone someone actually related to me.
Now, compare this to an island nation with just over 300,000 residents and low immigration. The chances of you randomly meeting someone just 2 generations removed from you are very high.
Option 3: Tell the SEC yourself and turn him in so he takes all of the blame. Considering the SEC can't unwind trades, the firm keeps the profits and doesn't have to pay the trader's commission.
Maybe, MAYBE they get a fine, but considering the SEC would want to encourage the self-policing, I doubt it.
But the complete loss of the trading company's reputation evaporates; running them out of business anyhow.
Any in particular... or you are a "student of all sciences" like Doc Brown?:)
Personally, I would never invest in any actively managed funds.
I remember reading somewhere that the index funds almost always beat the active managed funds. This is because the index funds charge lower fees, and the managed funds do not make enough more than the index to cover their own fees.
On the rare chance that Fannie Mae or Freddy Mac turn a profit, the profits disappear into the fiscal black hole known as the National Debt, so there is really no incentive at all to even be efficient or to consider the needs of their investors when making decisions. Such is the case for any government agency, so it isn't exclusive to just these two agencies.
Oh it is much better than that. When Freddy and Fannie were making (virtual) profits in the late 90's and early 00's, they were taking the money and blowing it on useless projects such as E-Closing and Web based appraisal projects. None of these every provided any benefit to anyone other than the contractors being overpaid to develop the software.

I've heard that for years, but is Postgres better than MariaDB?
MariaDB is a fork of MySQL. So the answer is a resounding yes, in every way, no matter what your target platform is.
It began as an April Fools' Day joke idea
How exactly does that work?
"We were using your electricity and potentially damaging your computer for a whole month without your permission! APRIL FOOLS! Ha we got you good!"
Yeah, there is no way in hell this was meant as an April Fools joke. More of a "Lets steal resources from our customers to make $$$$!, Our customers are so stupid they would never realize that their video cards are melting!" And, as always for a business, they only came clean once caught, and are only sorry they got caught, not sorry that they did it.
And we can even ship the radioactive waste parts of New Jersey to France for reprocessing into nuclear fuel with breeder reactors.
Don't they know Garbage always gets expensive in the mid game? Haven't they played Powergrid?
Absolutely not, for an organization that is striving for legitimacy this is an extreme breach of trust.
So admitting wrongdoing, giving credit, and donating the money to a nonprofit is an "Extreme breach of trust"?
How do you figure that?
They are only sorry because they got caught.
Books do not have an on button, so this must be innovative!

Yo dawg, I heard you like pirating games. So we pirated your game inside the game you pirated; so you can be pirated while you pirate.
Good point. Perhaps we can add to that a "fake off" mode, where it looks like the camera has been turned off, while it is still filming.
Will police still be let off the hook for confiscating the cameras of citizens that film them, even though it is 100% legal in nearly every state?

Perhaps they would have benefited more from a gullible idiot detector.
They are called eyes. And mine constantly detect them.
Problem is confirmation bais is really easy to sell on people, so they honestly believe they did test it out and it worked.
You are only saying that because you want people to believe in confirmation bias.

Also, the label on the computer says "new A/R daily invoice"
New... in the 1960s.
"Don't mess with Texas's old computers."
Seriously, don't mess with them or they will stop working. I feel like just taking a picture of the insides of that thing will make it fall apart.
I wonder where all the plant rights people are?

We have six, you see.

So in other words, just another day on the stock market...
Except for the go to jail part. I guess someone richer bribed enough politicians to get this guy prosecuted.
