So is the complaint that it was broken (ie it didn't show that a film was available on Netflix that was), or just that the search results didn't match the streaming services available to you?
If it worked as described, it would have been nice to know about it when it existed. I frequently find myself saying "I'd like to watch X, is it on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime?" and having to search each site independently. If I try Google, it never gives me useful information. If I try websites that supposedly search these sites for you, the information is almost always wrong or incomplete, apparently based upon some snapshot of who streamed what in 1997.
So, what went wrong? Was the site as bad as everyone else's? Did it not include the major unlimited streaming services? And why did they not do even the slightest amount of SEO?
"SJWs" did nothing to Garrison Keillor. Someone made an allegation against him. Before anyone had a chance to comment on it, his employer fired him based upon the fact he had a history having such allegations made against him (they say it numbered in the dozens.) Nobody pressurized MPR, they looked at the evidence and based upon the fact it was highly improbable anyone would get dozens of completely independent allegations of sexual assault that were all made up, and based upon witness statements, they decided the best course of action was to terminate him.
Do you oppose that? Are you saying that you believe employers have some sort of duty to hold on to people who they strongly and legitimately believe are serially sexually assaulting their staff?
Just to add to the irony: while Sarkeesian has basically only said "It'd be nice if they made games aimed at women, and some games have gender based tropes that are harmful to women and often to men, so if you're developing a video game, it'd be nice if you kept that in mind, thanks", and Thompson has said "We should ban Grand Theft Auto because I don't like it", Gamergaters actually held Thompson up as a hero at one point in the whole Gamergate fiasco.
...which was probably only a surprise to people who thought Gamergate was about anything other than hating women and minorities.
WSL uses regular GNU/Linux distributions and runs their native binaries. So it's almost as native as, say, running the distribution in a VM, except the distro cannot use GUI tools, but does have access to the native file system.
The major issue I've found with WSL is that features will suddenly stop working and require a reboot after a random period of time. For example, on three separate computers running different versions of Windows 10, and with one maintained by someone who isn't me, I've seen 'ssh' just plain stop working after a few days.
Cygwin doesn't seem to be as well maintained as, say, Ubuntu. And so that's the biggest advantage of WSL. But... Cygwin does at least work as advertised.
(1) He was politically motivated in Hillary's E-mail case, trying to help her gain legitimacy after election.
Did you sleep through the entire election? Comey is the one who brought up the emails a week or two before the election, claiming there was some hithertoo undiscovered cache of emails that hadn't been examined yet... which turned out to be complete BS.
Comey was a major reason why Clinton lost the election. She was leading by a wide margin before Comey stuck his oar in.
Most credit card fraud is based upon writing bogus data (data for the victim's card) to the magnetic strip, so the chip does at least provide security against someone getting hold of your number and creating a fake credit card using it.
But yes, it does nothing for you without a PIN if the card leaves your possession.
They're not saying it's a blacklist, they're saying you're unlikely to get a job if the first thing potential employers get when they Google your name is a news article along the lines of "Former Apple employee convicted of selling company secrets, also fined $3,000 for three instances of copyright infringement in unrelated file sharing lawsuits brought by NBC Universal, Fox Studios, and Buttsex Video Inc, but sentencing postponed for unsolicited candid photos."
I rather suspect that he has access to really good base information on the subject, while we are all relegated to commenting on news articles (that have to make money by with selling shock and outrage).
While it's logically true that he should have access:
1. He's on record as refusing to read anything complex, stating publicly he avoids anything that's more than a page long and doesn't have a small number of bullet points.
2. If he had information that Amazon was fleecing the Post Office, he wouldn't be calling for a friggin' audit, would he? He'd just order that information released.
So no, I don't think it's remotely possible he has any evidence at all that Amazon are fleecing the USPS. Quite the reverse, I suspect he's being told by everyone concerned that he's wrong, and he's insisting on an audit because he still thinks he's right and he thinks somehow getting another voice in will help him.
Windows 10 isn't just a desktop operating system, it's also intended to run on tablets and phones. Non-Appledroid phones are a dead market, but Windows 10 tablets are actually pretty useful.
At the time 10 came out, the tablets were pretty low powered. My HP Stream 8 has 1Gb of RAM for example. It's hard to make a case for running a 64 bit operating system on one.
Nobody "makes money from the Presidency" from the salary. The salary is smaller than some programmers earn around Silicon Valley.
Trump has, from day one, refused to separate himself from his businesses. The Secret Service, for example, has paid several million dollars to Mar a Lago, and he's also earned tens (maybe hundreds) of millions from people paying (now higher) membership fees to Mar a Lago so they can get access to him.
That's just one of his businesses, and he's making the money not from his name or reputation, but directly from abusing his power as President.
I'm mostly anti-change on websites, but... I'm not with you on Material Design. At all. It's a great system that fixes most of the crap that UX designers have been foisting on us. It has faults, but it brings back the use of 3D after years of this obsession with flat UIs, it's easy to see what's touchable and what isn't, it works well on both mobile and desktop UIs (so you're not having to switch between two languages for icons for example), and it's pretty clean and elegant using - something I wouldn't say has ever been true of GMail.
I saw the screenshots. They don't look worse than GMail does already. I'm hopeful this is positive change, and, for older hardware, that they leave the original UI (not the current one, but the "HTML mode" thing) available for those who need something lighter.
Left of Fox News doesn't mean "left", I'll believe the Washington Post is "Progressive Left" when it supports Sanders like politicians over Clintonesque politicians, doesn't describe Single Payer healthcare (that's what the NHS would look like if Thatcher had reformed it) as "leftist" or "far left", doesn't spend all its time arguing that in the middle of a recession we should address the deficit, and actually cares about unemployment and low wages.
Damore was criticized for his abuse and misrepresentation of studies in order to draw odd, subtly anti-diversity, conclusions. I can't comment on the Big Five Personality Traits but the fact another far right group used it as the basis of a political campaign doesn't affect its credibility one way or another.
Yes, he's sure about that, the birds being dinosaurs theory/consensus is relatively new. I was taught the same thing as you were... about 30-40 years ago, back when few even thought dinosaurs had feathers. The theory birds were descendants of theropods, while not new, has grown stronger since then to the point it's pretty much now the scientific consensus.
The current Wikipedia page on the subject does a reasonable job of describing the current situation, and is well cited (you don't have to rely upon the editors biases!) if you want to take a look.
Is the new hipster thing to do to come to Slashdot, wade into the comments section, and post that you don't read Slashdot?
Because that's just weird. Really. Bad enough when someone builds a mechanical clone of a Pentium out of Lego and squirrel spit and someone insists on posting here that this is a total waste of time and why would anyone do this, but it's a new level of laziness to just post that you don't read Slashdot at all and have no idea what this thing is that Slashdot posts regularly about.
Offices are not retail, and non-retail businesses move all the time. Moving stores, on the other hand, is rare. I've seen numerous companies fail because they had to move their customer facing locations. On the rare occasion they didn't, the move was voluntary, usually because the company concerned saw a different location as more attractive from a business point of view.
It's not dead, the maintainers are still accepting patches. What they're not doing is actively adding features. I'm disappointed by the comment recommending Mailspring because Mailspring is a commercial product which requires registration, which is the number one reason why we wouldn't want to be using the original version of Nylas Mail.
But yes, still alive, just not likely to see any major new features in the near future. And that's fine! Really, it is! Because I don't know about you but I'm tired of decent products being turned into crappy ones because someone thought that, I dunno, making links open in Edge or adding ads to the sidebar would be a really great idea...
Rival operating systems include email clients by default. Off the top of my head, only ChromeOS has a significant user base yet doesn't include a client - and there's a reason for that.
On the desktop, Mac OS X and Ubuntu both include clients. On tablets, Android and iOS both include clients.
I know Windows doesn't have a major problem with marketshare on the desktop right now... but it is facing real threats given the fact for most applications a machine with a Windows API is unnecessary. That's partially why Microsoft's latest operating system isn't just some incremental bug fixes to Windows 7.
Been using the unofficial fork of Nylas Mail, which might suit people who want something a little more modern than Thunderbird. It's nice and unlike the original or the official fork (Mailspring) it doesn't require registration.
Throwing it out there, because I tried Thunderbird recently and was surprised how clunky it felt. That's despite my tastes usually being conservative in terms of UI design. Once of the nice features of Windows Mail is that it has a clean, modern, easy to use UI.
Dinosaur means "Terrible lizard", not "Terrible reptile", and in fairness to the guy who thought of the name, at the time it was thought of, they thought dinosaurs were extinct scaly toothy things, rather than feathery beaky things.
That's great, and presumably the rest of us can still choose between breathing polluted air, and not breathing polluted air, and you can still choose between the buildings and roads and other infrastructure you rely upon being destroyed by global warming related flooding, and them not being destroyed by global warming related flooding, right?
Right?
What do you mean no? What do you mean that man's right to swing his fist doesn't end at my nose?
I would prefer my ISP to prioritize gaming traffic ahead of other traffic: Youtube / Netflix / Facebook / bittorrent don't have the same latency requirements as online games.
Yup.
In fact, it makes sense to me that gamers should prefer a net neutrality repeal because it would now allow prioritization of that.
Nope.
NN is not about banning the prioritizing one protocol over another. That's normal and has been going on since the Internet was started. NN is about preventing, for example, EA from paying extra so that their packets get delivered faster than, say, Valve's. Or Google paying extra so their packets get delivered faster than EA's.
Repealing NN will probably make things worse for gamers.
Take a second job. You can use the money to address some of the problems you keep complaining about: student loans, expensive housing, poverty, etc.
The oldest GenZers are 20 years old. 80% of GenZers are too young to own a driver's license (and thanks to governmental prohibitions on walkable neighborhoods, most are unable to walk or take buses), and child slavery laws prevent most from working anyway.
Learn a new skill: between YouTube, Udacity, Kindle, and Google Books you can learn just about anything for next to nothing.
If you're interested, and it's something that's essentially free to participate in. Which most aren't, to be honest.
Volunteer for a charity
Again, nice sentiment, but most lack transportation options.
Do something outdoors, like hiking etc.
Most parents are going to be nervous about their little 12 year old going hiking on their own, which means the parents need to participate... which they have no time to do.
Essentially this is an unrealistic set of options for the target group. Are you sure you're not confusing Gen Z with Millennials? The latter have some of these as options... but are overworked, and boredom isn't what they're complaining about.

Well, who do you think they expected to pay for it? Charities (and contributors to charitable causes) in the first world, or people with no money?
