They're called company stores, and we did need to outlaw them because of their abuses of citizens. The idea was that the company wouldn't pay you in currency, but in script only redeemable at its own store. So we made laws in the 1930's make it illegal to make base pay be in something besides common currency.
Even if you have an/etc/hosts IP address, how could you be sure that you were not routed back to an internal evil site at their country firewall?
Exactly! The only solution that I can come up right now are self signed certs. The first time you visit a site, the browser remembers the self signed cert. Then should the next visit to the same url results in a different cert, block. But browsers seem to fear self signed certs more than an unencrypted stream.
It's so sad that you think that everything is driven behind a universal us vs. them; and both sides are equally bad. It really could be that one is honestly looking for truth, and the other created itself as a side against truth.
I love it. I wish other software vendors would do a better job and informing users as to the root cause of issues they're seeing. More information is better. I don't care if something like "Please wait" or "oops, sorry" tested as being friendlier. I want information!
So if I'm visiting Russia, and the DNS redirects me to a malicious version of a site I "trust", how will I know? Even if its https, the malicious site could be using a different cert authority, which says that the certificate is legit.
Some of the guys in the gang started talking, and mentioned that Timothy Carpenter was at all of the burglaries. The cops decided to see if his cell data confirmed what the were saying. So they asked the cell company, and lo and behold, the cell tower pings match what the other people were saying.
People don't develop the software because the market is too small (linux on desktop).
Or they want to be compensated for their work. If you work in a niche market producing code, every sale for every copy of the binaries produced by that code, counts.
Having spent time trying to fix excel worksheets for managers, I'd kill for a way to place excel sheets in source control or get a practical DIFF between versions.
Smart idealistic types really do a poor job predicting what under average types will do when new technology is made available to them. It's never idealistic.
I read the article on Friday and remember how it was trying to propose some kind of other way to visualize the behavior of code, and thought it was pretty cool idea. Then I remembered the first anecdote in the article about how a 911 calling system crashed because the unique ID's hit their max value. If one were to create a visualization of the system, it would still show "green" for when the system hit their max value for unique ID's. So I don't think that the solutions proposed fixes the problems at all.
I also didn't like how it bemoaned how programmers will start programming a little bit before working out all of the architectural details. That's probably true for a brand new system, but for adding a new feature, I find it much more beneficial to poke around a little bit to see what's possible with the pieces which are already in place. It's a very helpful way to get my mind to think about parts of the code with which I am unfamiliar with.
LinkedIn had an Outlook plugin before the acquisition, and it sounds like all they can do is iterations on the plugin for Outlook. Microsoft wasted 26bn for something that they already had.
If you have a.doc file and don't own Microsoft Word, you no longer have a usable document.
That's Office, not Windows. If you have a.doc file and Windows WordPad will open in. It's entirely possible to have a file created by some open source software, and if you don't have the software anymore, you won't be able to open the file.
I'm unfamiliar with Windows preventing API compliant programs from running for political reasons. I'm also unfamiliar with a functioning instance of Windows preventing you from moving your data to another system.
Yeah, they just wanted to go their way by main force, seizing the lawful property of the Federal government without negotiations or agreement, and keep their peculiar (read human bondage) institution in place.
Shhh. Don't tell the Southern "historian lovers" that. They think their ancestors peacefully minding their own business when some alien army came charging in from the North.
I think how this is really going to work out will be some standard where your self piloted car will interact with robots at the store to pick up your order, drive back home, and then notify you when it arrives.
Anything more than what we have now with humans isn't worth the effort.
Um, if you're ignoring them why do you care what they are?
Because it's really annoying to see a constant stream of feminine hygiene product ads. As much as I try it ignore them, I would at least like advertising to know my gender.

Quick, we need some "store neutrality"!

How did LEA get the data?

Excel 2007 introduced change tracking.
If you don't provide your employees better tools for a task, they're going to keep\start using something that's easier for them to use.
nor to opine on "states' rights"
States rights folks only want states rights to apply to Slave ownership and Jim Crowe laws. Nothing else really matters.
That's what you get for not living in San Francisco.
EU power grab in Ukraine.
Whhaaatt? I think you've confused which side invaded and took territory away from a sovereign nation.

Isn't all of that related to Office and not Windows?

What's the point of having measurable goals if there's obligation to meet any of them.
You don't improve what you don't measure. So by measuring, and being informed, provides incentive for improvement.

Wouldn't the end result be pretty similar to IE's Tracking Protection feature where the browser just won't make requests to domain's on the blacklist?
You want to tell me, if the restaurant owner knows people give tips,...he starts to reduce the wage?
Yes, 100%. Well documented, and well known. That's why in the US restaurant owners are allowed to pay wages less than minimum wage.
They should try self-reflecting on why almost every major news organization and poll showed Clinton winning before the election.
Because for some strange reason the national polls don't weight the votes by the electoral weight of the state. It's weird.
