Just because Google isn't actively providing updates it doesn't mean you can't still install them. If your phone has a locked bootloader that isn't the case.
The "ugly and harsh light" is described in the industry as Color Temperature. I'm not sure if it is a requirement to include but most bulbs come with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) rating. It's a scale from 0-100 (100 being a reference incandescent bulb) to rate the Color Temperature of a bulb. LED's are harder to quantify using this method however so a new method is in development called Color Quality Scale (CQS). Who knew a simple light bulb could be so complex? I found a really good read at Jason Morrison's web site with cool pictures and everything!
But to answer your question...it depends on the LED bulb. Since LED's come in several colors but white isn't one of them LED bulbs make white using a couple of different methods. So there are some LED's that have the same harsh temperature and others that are very close to the warm glow of an incandescent. Philips just announced a new process that will bring near incandescent quality with better efficiency (200 Lumens Per Watt (LPW)) than existing LED technology but it is still a few years from production.
You explain but don't cut your rates. Clients eventually learn, especially when the cheap guy screws up big time. Then you charge extra to clean up the mess.
This works on about 20% of the potential clients you interface with. The ones it is a pleasure to work for. They are the exception not the rule.
Competition is a good thing...unless they are competing against you. It's even worse when your competition doesn't know anything about business and bid out so low it won't cover their own expenses. Your customer indignantly asks why they should pay your outrageous prices when the other guy is 65% cheaper.
The easiest way to avoid worker's rights is to avoid making them legally an employee.
By law a full time position must be staffed by an employee. By definition a contract worker must be employed for a specified duration. I know one company that has an h and a p in their initials that routinely lays off all its contract workers the week after Christmas and rehires them the next week to the same position and some of these contract workers have been in their roles for years.
When Eureka ended so did my need to ever watch SyFy. I lamented FarScape for over a year and watched as SG and its myriad of spinoffs deteriorated but at least I got to see Ben Browder do his one liners again. Then just as I am actually starting to see some potential in the Universe franchise they pull another Fox. It's not like I didn't see it coming but I am a masochistic optimist. Thank you...NO.
The headline made me think of Full Throttle as well. I never played Sam & Max or Monkey Island but I played Full Throttle over and over even though the game really never changes because it was fun watching the characters much like an interactive cartoon. I too loved the intro and the recently released Borderlands 2 intro felt reminiscent of the FT opening to me.

That is mostly correct...until the data that wasn't secure gets into the wrong hands and gives the competition a competitive advantage or causes the stocks to plummet from scandalous information/images getting leaked.
You're thinking of the MARKETING guys...The sales guys are the ones who tell you every feature you just asked for are in the new version being released next week then send a frantic email to the developers group telling them what needs to be added by next week.
The issue being that people are very touchy about paying for updating telephony software,
We are currently upgrading our phone system (less than 200 PID) because updating JUST the software on our current system to get official support from the vendor is going to cost >$50K and a new system with all licensing and a year of support as well as added functionality will cost slightly >$100K and isn't already EOL'ed.
Just install KDE on your MAC and run it native! Sure, you have compile it from source but think of the satisfaction you'll feel every time you fire up your office suite...
I started my current job (trade floor support) around the same time Lenovo took control of the design as well as the manufacture of the ThinkPad. I was given my companies standard laptop (a TP R60) and told to make it work! I tried dozens of configurations and worked with IBM engineers and ultimately we only found 1 video card that would work in the 6x series Ultra-Dock.
Because of corporate refresh cycles IBM had always guaranteed any updates in a series would be compatible with that series accessories (a TP R61,T61,R62,T62 should all work the same on the Ultra-Dock). Well the R60 was replaced with the R61 within 6 mo. and not only did it not work with the video card it wouldn't boot with the card installed. Again I worked with the IBM engineers (IBM was helping Lenovo transition). After 2 months they simply said it won't work and we will not attempt to make it work. They also added a note on their page in very small print explaining very vaguely that 3rd party video cards "might" not work.
In my previous position (trade floor support) all traders had T4x series machines with Ultr-Docks that had Nvidia Quadro 4 head cards in them and they were tanks. I could pop a T40,T41,T42,etc. into that dock and didn't even think about whether it would work or not.
We are starting our hardware refresh again and had been slowly rolling out L430's to the general public (I finally convinced them a laptop wasn't exactly the best fit for traders) only to find out they had been building them without the ExpressCard. We purchase CTO (Configure To Order) and all units should have had the card slots. Not only did Lenovo not want to make it right. They flat out told my boss that we were stuck with what we got...until he told them we were talking to Dell about changing vendors. They finally owned up and replaced all the L430's with T430's but the bad blood has convinced my boss to look elsewhere.

Actually he walked into the vault and took a picture of the money. Then he reported his finding regarding the lack of security and showed the pictures. They are basically sentencing him for entering the bank vault but not the security guard who is equally culpable.
Yep...Had a coworker quit his associate degree course at DeVry to take the job with us. Six months later he starts getting debt repayment notices for the school. By his reasoning he didn't owe any money since he didn't finish taking the classes (Yes he really believed this) so another six months go by and one day he just starts cussing and screaming obscenities. His check was less than $20! It was a very good day...he was a dick.
Many who cash their checks this way are illegals who do not have a checking account for fear of it leading the INS to their door. But I doubt this would effect them as they probably don't file taxes either.

That seems a bit harsh...I mean what if Lister hasn't had his lucky virus injection for the day yet?

Well the question has already been asked and answered as far the the First is concerned so yes you can install the launcher of your choosing.

Did you bother to look at the link I provided? I know tl;dr...
It is from 2010 and examines the effect the Sony rootkit has had on the industry long term.

Isn't that what KOTOR was? Although I wouldn't mind a Rockstar reboot.

If it were the Linuxy types that love command line it would have been twlt and a man page describing what it was would be perpetually forthcoming.

Actually Volkswagen has had one similar for a few years now.
The King of England called the Colonies a bunch of gun-nuts as well. Those gun-nuts gave you your freedom to begin with.
