IMDb believes that the law is a violation of the First Amendment and it says the state has "chosen instead to chill free speech and to undermine access to factual information of public interest" rather than trying to tackle age-discrimination in a more meaningful way.
While I don't actually care about the information in question, there is nothing private or sensitive about the age of actors or other public figures. They are public figures who have chosen a public life. If they don't like the consequences of that then they should chose another profession. There certainly is no compelling state interest worthy of such a law nor special group in need of protection. It's not as if their ages are some big secret to anyone who cares to find out. IMBd is probably right and there probably would win any first amendment related lawsuit should they chose to fight one.
They should toss in their availability as well, not just their age. So that we know who to fantasize over. Pull data from Ashley Madison if needed
Here is a scenario. Let's say I was a Russian who came to the US for a few days, visited the Apple Store on my phone, downloaded all the banned apps, including LinkedIn, and then flew back there.
Once I was back, how would either the Apple Store - or the Play Store - not having the app online - be of any use? Particularly if I disable the app store once I am back?
I'm on my second - and maybe my last, although the end of the Lumia line might keep me on it. I had a 5s two years ago, but wanted its successor since the 5s did not support Apple Pay. Had I bought a phone a few months later and gone for a 6, I'd not have bought a 7.
The biggest reason to get that phone was FaceTime, which until recently, was the only major video calling app out there: Duo and WhatsApp are recent. With WhatsApp, I could even do video calling on a Lumia, which wasn't possible until now: only that Microsoft has discontinued that line. But having owned all 3 platforms, iOS is my first choice and Windows 10 Mobile my second. I like Android Marshmallow and beyond, but on tablets, not phones.
One beef I do have about Apple - music that I download from OneDrive doesn't get recognized on my iPad. That's still a big reason to prefer Windows, including Windows Phone, except that the car has an iPod player but can't play Groove or even Windows Media Player
Sounds so much like Windows Phone 8. Where you had several web-wrappers disguised as apps - if you clicked them, it would open Internet Explorer, and then the web site of the service therein
I don't have a problem. But in that case, why have separate men and women's bathrooms? The usual reason is that when multiple men or women go into a bathroom, they don't get to see each other nude. It's the same reason men are not allowed in women's locker rooms in gyms, and vice versa. Although honestly, I can't stand to see nude men or women when I'm walking around anywhere, including locker rooms
The headline makes it look like the entire University of California is outsourcing their IT to India. Everyone - San Francisco, Berkeley, Santa Cruz, Riverside, Irvine, San Diego, Davis, LA, et al
Is that really the case? I was under the impression that the only people doing that was UCSF. It also brings to mind one question - why can't UCSF outsource that job to UCB, which is just across the Bay Bridge? Let the descendants of the BSD inventors manage their IT
They said that the OS is Nougat, which is the latest & greatest version of Android. That's different from those phones that still come w/ Gingerbread or Icecream sandwich or Honeycomb. If it came w/ the latter, I'd call it abandonware.
The sort of phone you are describing wouldn't be a smart phone
You are assuming from the description that I am 'anti-Trannie'. Actually, I am a 'none-of-my-business' guy as far as people's sexuality go. Which means that I'm not w/ any religious fringe (such as the Muslims who would toss gays from the tops of buildings) that are anti-alternate lifestyles, but neither am I supportive of trannies demanding that they be allowed to use whichever bathrooms they like.
My point was that the GNU project has both Coreboot and Libreboot. So which of these 2 would they have preferred, had Libreboot stayed on? And Coreboot is, afaik, GPL 3, right? Or is it locked at GPL 2.1 due to compatibility w/ Linux?
Also, does Coreboot have any 'non-free' blobs the way standard Linux does?
Actually, can we export all our climate change activists - from the Leo di Caprios, the Algores, the Hollywood climate activists and so on - to Beijing, so that they can help the Chinese regime crack down on any and every violation of environmental standards? With any luck, it should shut down all factories in China - none of which pass modern environmental standards - and cause companies to build elsewhere - probably their target country of export.
That should achieve 2 goals - a major environmental cleanup, as well as a toppling of the Chinese Communist regime in Beijing
I quite agree w/ this. Whenever I'm on the computer, the time is displayed on the bottom right corner. Otherwise, if I'm out, I pull out the cellphone to check the time. Also, from my chair, I can peep directly at the clock in the oven, and in the car too, there is one. So w/ so many clocks at home, in the car and on me, I hardly feel the need to splurge on a watch.
Is that the price of an unlocked phone, or a locked phone? For an unlocked phone, mid-range is correct. A high end would be $500 and above - assuming no carrier owns it.
Actually, that is the funny part. Someone who's always supported the fringe Left - like Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein - is now perceived as being anti-trannie. Wonder how it feels for him to see the shoe on the other foot?
Also there is more information as to why libreboot left the GNU. From their site - 'Libreboot left GNU on 2016-09-15, in protest of transgender discrimination at the FSF'.
An org headed by RMS discriminates against transgenders - one of the golden haired children of the Left? Say it ain't so. If anything, I'd have expected them to discriminate against everybody who have not changed their gender.
Maybe whoever maintains his 'Call to Action' notes in stallman.org can add this one to the list
No, every WiFi connected device has to be in a network - most likely, the one your WiFi router hosts. That's where the firewall would apply. Bluetooth - I thought that the latest Bluetooth protocol includes IPv6 support, I doubt that older Bluetooth would fall within IoT
Actually, why not introduce a new type of visa for criminals, and give it to any of these scammers when they ask for a visa. Then, at the port of entry, when they check in at immigration, immediately call law enforcement and hand them over

You're talking about showbiz, where people's appearances do determine their popularity.

I never said it was. Personally, I'm fine w/ that, although many slashdotters would react like Meryl Streep last night and mod me down

That would be the same Muslims who legalized gay marriage in the Ottoman empire ?

They are based in NC, which is some orders of magnitude cheaper than the Bay Area
They are based in NC, so as of now, you need to go to the bathroom that's on your birth certificate
More precisely, when there are far lighter DEs like Razor-qt, LXDE, XFCE, et al, why persist w/ a DE that is as heavy as KDE 5?

What is the difference b/w Coreboot and Libreboot? Why does the GNU project need both?
Um - https://libreboot.org/

Enough responses like this, and they'll then ask some offshorer in India. Then there will be howls about work being offshored

Actually, they should buy a Lenovo, which would be thicker AND cheaper, and do a better job saving lives
