Someone not working on the console. I have 3 monitors at work (laptop display plus 2 external). Laptop display is for things running natively on the laptop. Each monitor is a VNC session where I am running multiple desktops, currently a 3x6 grid on each.
According to the article, the trademarks were filed as "Real Estate - Personal." So as long as UND does not use those terms for real estate Haakenson just wasted his money.
'"Update at 11:20 a.m. Wednesday: At a press conference this morning, Irving Police Chief Larry Boyd said Ahmed Mohamed was arrested for bringing "a hoax bomb" to school -- and not a clock, as Mohamed said he repeatedly told his teachers.
But, Boyd said, "we are confident it's not an explosive device" intended to cause "alarm." Rather, he said, officers determined it was "a hoax bomb" and a "naive accident."
As a result, he said, no charges will be filed against Ahmed, and "the case is considered closed."'
What could the definition of a "hoax bomb" be, if there is one, that does not include intent to cause alarm?
Let this be a lesson to all school kids: bring a gun instead, since you will have explicit constitutional protections.
"Just like it happened in the auto industry, workers got used to high wages and are unwilling to consider the actual value of their contribution in a world"
In the Recent Unpleasantness, the UAW successfully negotiated wages downward, while non-union financial workers insisted in receiving their bonuses for the demonstrable damage they did to the markets.
Karl Popper is a philosopher whose most relevant work on this topic is _The Open Society and its Enemies_: "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. – In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. "
Also, you can watch the South Park episode "Death Camp of Tolerance".
"What's wrong with being #5 and making a small profit "
What is wrong is that you have assumed that #5 is making a profit. Remember, Apple and Samsung combined make more than 100% of the net profits of the cell phone market.
I though I would do a google search to find out what hardware products Brady Forrest has been involved with, but it turns out I could have just saved my time and gone straight to posting here "Who the fuck is Brady Forrest?"
I found a bunch of stuff about running some incubator and starting a series of talks. Nothing about making anything.
You cannot say this without knowing what they were doing instead of fixing these particular bugs. They may have correctly triaged the undisclosed bugs in terms of importance until disclosure forced less important bugs to a higher urgency.
"The system will not be changing any operating parameters;"
No, they really can put parameters like that in the firmware, in order to use the same hardware in geos with different requirements.
Remember when Intel made modems for about five minutes? They didn't make modem because they cared about selling modems, they cared about selling flash memory. They made a reference platform that used common hardware with country-specific parameters in the firmware and shopped it to every telephony body on the planet to convince them to certify the hardware + firmware combination. Then they go out of the modem business and went back to just selling flash memory for to hold firmware.
Why do people think that any time law enforcement is within shouting distance it is entrapment?
What would a normal person do if someone stole $800,000 from them? Call the cops. What did DPR do? Solicit a hitman. That's not entrapment, that is a criminal that is already disposed to paying to have people killed..
"they're interested in learning the requirements and domain-specific knowledge"
So for some reason it is appropriate for software developers to gain domain-specific knowledge from the people around them but inappropriate for others.
Have you not read anything that the Sad Puppies wrote about themselves? They would have been well served to let the Nielsen Haydens do their PR; at least then people would not be confusing the Sad Puppies with the Rapid Puppies.

Peter Minuit bought Manhattan Island from Native Americans who did not control the area. You may call that "fraud", but is still hilarious.

"I'm sure it's one of the endless stream of shitware out there whose sole purpose us to collect your data and deliver ads"
One of the notable points about WhatsApp is that there are no ads: the user pays for it.

Rewriting Karl Popper 44 year later does not make you insightful, just poorly read.
'Neither President Obama nor Bush is "wanted" for any "crimes against humanity" by the ICC, INTERPOL, or any government.'

If you remove the assumption that X is a basic feature, then maybe you will understand why people will by products without it.

It was a boring conversation anyway.

You cannot say this without knowing what they were doing instead of fixing these particular bugs. They may have correctly triaged the undisclosed bugs in terms of importance until disclosure forced less important bugs to a higher urgency.
In any parliamentary republic, no matter the language used, "government" refers to the administration, i.e. the executive branch.

US dollars are busted, just look at all of the arrests for a long itme.

What's the last language you used without calling out to an external library?
Except this is Thursday. Therefore it is a conspiracy.
A 22 year non-complete? That would not be an agreement, it would be indentured servitude.

False.
