They're doing their software testing on the cheap, having users find the defects in their code for an amount of money that's not worth the time of software professionals. That sucks, but it's better than what they and everybody else used to do: release shamefully buggy software as a public beta test (whether or not they called it that) and expect users to report bugs for no compensation at all.
But look at it this way:
So they spend millions in developing the IE, including reviews, QA, etc. and they pay such miserable money for bug locating/fixing? Come on.
If IE11 has the expected number of bugs, they will still spend almost as much on testing as they did on development.
The city will say it has probable cause to show that AirBnB is participating in a fraudulent scheme to circumvent hotel regulations and taxes. They need AirBnB's records to show that is the case. This is what subpoenas are for.
Yeah, Apple users don't complain because iPad is all about media consumption. They have a browser and game device they can hold in their hands and that's all they really want. Inside it's a computer but making it work however the user wants is not on Apple's business plan.
My wife has an iPad and has complained about her inability to make it drive a printer. I have not been able to use it to get pictures from my digital camera without using another computer. I can stick an SDCard from the camera directly in any of my other computers, including my cell phone, or I can connect a cable and suck the files out because they have USB host ports. Using the iPad I have found that I don't have the pointing precision I have with a mouse. I need another appliance to get it to drive my TV screen or a projector. I own one but it's not the size and shape that I want to carry it with me where I would be likely to use an iPad or Surface.
Surface is a tablet computer. iPad is a pretty toy. That's the difference.
There are some features they should really consider adding that would make it blow away an iPad for utility:
USB host port -- Yes, a HOST port. Sure would be nice to attach a mouse or printer if you want. OH WAIT, they did. It's a full size USB 3.0 port.
SD card slot -- OH WAIT! It has that too. It's a micro-SD and a full size would be nicer, but still: removable storage.
Video out port -- OH WAIT! It has THAT too. Damn. You need to buy an adapter to convert it to a standard HDMI connector. No idea why they didn't go with a HDMI micro port. They really should have, since that's a common standard.
A lawyer is professional (both his defense lawyer and the prosecutors) but mental illness is not their profession. They are not trained to recognize or respond to symptoms of depression and suicidal thoughts.
But his lawyer did claim that he had warned prosecutors that Aaron Schwartz might kill himself -- if the government didn't agree to the defense's plea deal proposal. Did they hear this and assume it was a bullshit defense tactic when in truth it was a real fear on the part of the attorney? To be safe, they probably should have immediately put him in under protective observation because if those thoughts were real (obviously in this case they were) his unstable mental state couldn't be reasonably expected to cure itself if his demands were met.
But again, a prosecutor is not a psychiatrist (usually) and his primary concern is not the welfare of the defendant. It's prosecuting the defendant.
This is not new information. Both observations about Albert Einstein's brain have been around for a long time.
But so what? Do we have evidence, aside from Einstein's brain, that being extra wrinkly correlates with high intelligence in humans? Or that having a bigger than average corpus collosum correlates to having higher intelligence in humans?

Or a small plutonium reactor. It only takes 1.21 gigawatts.

Am guessing that the tenets will sue...
I am sure that tenets cannot sue.
Posting the advertisement is evidence of conspiracy, unless you have the requisite license.

Or will I have to fire up the flux capacitor?
What do you mean? It's already tommorow over there.
The US government is shut down. Nobody to issue a press release.
When you press criminal charges, your attorney is the District Attorney. You are paying him through taxes.
We're talking sound pressure levels high enough that you can feel the modulation with your fingers. Is this safe?
And how much power does it take to make pressure that's useful for tactile feedback at a distance?
That does not make it OK to use the pictures for extortion.
Have you filed a defamation suit?
In Russia, showing them how to get it done.
The simple solution is to press extortion charges against websites that offer to take down pictures of the subjects for money.
"Common sense" that is not common is not common sense.

You're entitled to that interpretation. Most Americans think it is the other way around.

You can call them that if you want. The law calls them defendants.
Both criminal defendants.
The point is that he was not a victim; he was a defendant. Prosecuting defendants is their job.

So was Al Capone.
The common ground is the bill the Senate passed. The House bills are all common ground plus stuff that is unacceptable to the Senate.
That was published over an hour after I posted my comment. Are you faulting me for being a poor prognosticator? Mea culpa.
