Perhaps it should go without saying --- but you also need to your OS to be up-to-date. If you're on Windows 7 or, God forbid, Windows XP, third party AV software might make you slightly less doomed.
And how much is the check you're getting from Microsoft to shill for them encouraging "upgrades" to Windows 10? Or are you suggesting that Microsoft is deliberately failing to fully update Windows 7 in order to make it look less secure?
The current anthropogenic climate change doctrine is that the single greatest contributor to global temperature is the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, and suggesting that the the level of irradiation the Earth gets from the Sun is a larger component of planetary temperature than any atmospheric condition is heresy of the blackest stripe, which must be cut out root and branch, because Obama has repeatedly declared that he doesn't want anyone not fully onboard with the pravda of CO2-driven AGC in his administration.
Except that it's not these 'repressed people' telling the state "I can't control my urges, stop me from doing this act that I find utterly reprehensible", it's these 'repressed people telling the state "I find this act to be utterly reprehensible, pass a law to stop everyone else from doing it". After all, their morality is so clearly superior that it must be imposed -- by force if necessary -- on everyone around them.
Of course their religion is all about love, tolerance, and compassion -- and they'll kill any of the (by definition) morally bankrupt, eternally-damned heathens who dare to suggest otherwise...
Depending on how asininely they set up the definition, you could make the ban stretch to cover land mines as robots, with "anyone that steps on me" as the selection criteria; they certainly operate without human supervision.
They show integrity by hiding who did what while in a government position? This information shouldn't be secret to begin with.
Particularly since Obama has been quite vocal about how he didn't want to have anyone connected with him who wasn't solidly aligned with the Anthropogenic Climate Change dogma; Trump can generically assume that the entire upper management of an agency that received any funding connected to climate change supported the AGC policies.
Why the fuck would any Linux developer want to do this?

Not really, because the carbon-14 dating relies on there being an approximately stable level of that isotope in the environment to be taken up by biologic processes, and this production of nuclear batteries isolates the carbon-14 from the environment.
Those were both from the 19th century when voters didn't have the kind of access to the candidates and the candidates views that they have in the 21st century.
Not to mention being another compromise between the 'every state should have an equal say in electing the next president' premise, which gives voters in low-population states a disproportionate amount of power in selecting a president, and the 'each voter should have an equal say in electing the next president' premise, which gives high-population states a disproportionate amount of power in selecting a president. The same compromise that resulted in the different representation between the Senate and the House.
And as you say, Trump played the game better than Hillary did; he approached the state elections as business transactions, putting his effort into the places where he would get the best payoff for his money. And it worked for him. Hillary got a huge margin of victory in California, which didn't help her any more than winning by 50 votes would have, and she ignored or only half-heartedly campaigned in states that she thought she had locks on... and was wrong in too many of them.
If you prosecute everyone who breaks the rules, they'll get more creative at writing loopholes into their rules for them to wiggle through.
It's not necessary to prosecute them; they've been discovered to have violated the provisions of their signed statement agreeing to the provisions regarding electronic security. Revoke their clearances. At which point they're no longer eligible for any government post that requires a security clearance... or any position with a civilian government contractor that requires a security clearance.
You may not like apples or oranges, but you're going to have to choose one. If more choose apples over oranges, then fewer people disliked apples compared to oranges.
Except that there are kumquats and persimmons available to choose, as well; fewer people like either of those, so the most popular fruit is going to be either apples or oranges, but there is nothing forcing you to choose either of them. Remember that there's no way to nuance your vote. If you dislike both apples and oranges, but you dislike oranges more, you can't cast a vote that says "I don't like either of these two, but between the two of them, I dislike apples less"; all your vote says, regardless of how you intend it to mean, is "I like apples". The only way to make it clear that you dislike both apples and oranges is to pick a different fruit, even if you know that one isn't going to be the most popular fruit.
The FBI said that she'd done nothing criminal; She violated federal regulations regarding maintenance of a private email server. Violation of federal regulations can get your security clearance revoked and get you terminated from your position, but it is not a criminal violation of the law.
Now picture this scenario in a cramped space like the Persian Gulf where hundreds of ships and their gigantic overlapping AOU's make targeting anything a downright pita.
Some years ago, I was sitting in on an exercise a group of TAO students were running on the ENWGS (Enhanced Navy War Gaming System); each side had a small collection of patrol craft and/or frigates, and they were in an area that had a number of merchies sailing around. The blue side had sent up a helicopter to search, the orange group had sent a Petya forward. Both sides discovered the other at about the same time, and there was a brief flurry of anti-ship missile launches. When the smoke had cleared, the sole casualty from both sides was the Petya, which was an 'own goal' from a missile fired down its bearing that activated its seeker head a couple miles too soon... but the missile exchange cleared out 3/4 of the merchant ships that had been in the area.
hurt my eyes to see discrete and discreet mixed up so freely
When I still read netnews, I would periodically process the alt.personals groups to see what the homonym quotient was for that word, to see how many people were looking for a "discrete" partner. It was depressing to see how bad it was.
But I think you could reasonably say the emission of any substance that causes harm to the environment is a "pollutant," even if a nominal amount already existing is harmless.
When we get the first defense in a murder trial on the grounds that the defendant was acting to reduce the victim's carbon footprint, we'll know it's gone over the deep end to where the "Twinkie defense" lives.
So if a judge rules as you suggest, the next step is to find owners of waterfront real property and show in court the overwhelming evidence that climate change has shifted the coastline, which in turn reduces the usable area of said property.
Good luck in proving that this nebulous "climate change" has affected the weather to cause, say, erosion which would not otherwise occur naturally, and distinguish clearly between erosion caused by "climate change" and erosion caused by other environmental effects.
...and the only supply issues appear to be shipping costs, as they appear to be shitting bricks up in Silicon Valley.
Rufo told me that every human race tries every political form and that democracy is used in many primitive societies... but he didn’t know of any civilized planet using it, as Vox Populi, Vox Dei translates as: “My God! How did we get in this mess!” -- Robert Heinlein, Glory Road
I guess the line-of-dominos "[Month] was the hottest [month] in recorded history" headlines they've been pumping out having been flogging enough climate-change fear and panic from the populace to get the buy-in that the administration needs to get support for the Paris accords, which will cost trillions of dollars for a net temperature reduction of 0.3C if fully implemented.
Every outgoing presimadent since the Reagan, blessings upon him, makes the same grandiose claims that we'll put a Man on Mars real soon now.
Except that, with his wording, Obama is making a much heavier-handed attempt at tying his legacy back to Kennedy and his “this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.” declaration.
The Wikipedia article describes it as "Catfishing is a type of deceptive activity involving a person creating a sock puppet social networking presence for nefarious purposes."; doing it to carry on a fake relationship is perhaps the canonical example, as the term is taken from the movie Catfish, where this was the central theme of the movie, but it's not the only application of the term.
The period from 5,000 years back to 120,000 years has also been chosen to start with the last Ice Age and includes the Older Dryas and Late Glacial Maximum periods, while the most recent 5,000-year block includes the Boreal warm period, the Roman Warm Period, and the Medieval Warm Period, at least the latter two of which were warmer than today. The Vostok Petit ice-core data show that the Earth has spent the majority of its history significantly colder than today, with the last 5,000 years representing an unusually stable warm period in global temperature
I say, make guns like driving, but on a "shall issue" permit requiring a reasonable proficiency test.
And you can purchase any car that you can afford, transport it anywhere in public without needing a license unless you use another car to transport it (realistically, pulling an F1 race car on a trailer by hand is ludicrous, but the law doesn't restrict it), and you can drive that car on private property without needing a license, insurance, registration of the vehicle, or any of the safety requirements for a car operated on public streets. Apply the same 'restrictions' to firearms, and watch the gun-control lobby fill the cardio wards of the nation's hospitals, because that gives up 90% of what they've stolen away from gun owners over the years.
Absolutely right. No matter how much money they make, it will never be enough. They will always claim they are making less than they should be making due to (a) Piracy (b) YouTube (c) Streaming services (d) Some other reason. It's always someone else's fault that they aren't making as much money as they think they should.
The Music And Film Industry Association of America (MAFIAA) won't be satisfied until they can make individuals pay each time they experience a music or film performance, even if it's just remembering a performance.

It's amusing that the article has an update:

That actually makes it amazing that they even noticed the "moz" altogether.
Other than wondering "What protocol is 'moz'?" I have to admit, my reaction on seeing it was "Moz? Never heard of that protocol. Oh, wait..."
How is this related to weather or climate?
