I enjoy running your copy of XP too;). I have to admit - your old machine is a weak link in my botnet though - especially as everyone else likes using it too.
Can you imagine public opinion if we had 1/10th the private emails Trump has sent? Yes Hillary and the DNC were bad - no doubt, but what Trump has done and said in public is worse (especially the one leaked tax report from the mid 90's and the personal spending of donated money to the non profit Trump Foundation).
The map in the article suggests it was confiscated just off the coast of the Philippines in Subic Bay - the Chinese were way outside their territorial waters on this one.
Apple doesn't release security fixes for major bugs on previous OS's for the most part. As an exception and a lesson on how Apple deals with security issues - check out the history of the rootpipe exploit.
And yes - they did eventually fix that on previous versions of the OS after security experts shamed them publicly - almost a year later. Rootpipe was one of the worst security vulnerabilities - privilege escalation - and you can see how seriously they took it.
Think of it like a private highway where people who drive chevrolet cars have to go 5 miles per hour - not because they didn't pay the fee's/taxes to use the highway, but because the highway company actively wants to destroy chevrolet as a competitor.
That's essentially what Comcast was doing to Netflix a couple years ago.
Especially when you consider that a proper mains adapter probably only has a couple dollars of parts in it. Also that they use proprietary connectors - forces you into their supply chain.
To expand on this - a lot of people are like "Trump is right people should have to pay for usage". Thing is - ISPs already pay for peering, and their customers already pay for access to the internet - that's already happening and normal. What isn't ok is degrading someone else's service because a paying customer of your is using a competitor's application or host.
Say like - Comcast intentionally slowing down the speed of Netflix because Netflix is competitor (Comcast probably views services like that as the literal end to their cable business).
That's a strawman - I'd be happy if banned Schmidt and Zuckerberg as well from influencing politics as well.
It will create jobs too - lawyers who will line up to start litigating end users.
Plus - get a job at any ISP - we already pay for peering - this isn't about that really - it's about companies being able to actively punish ISP's for NOT paying.
Seriously - I want to hear from an avid trump supporter on how this - as well as his other cabinet appointments is draining the swamp (of special interest lobbyists).
If you have bitlocker configured - with a tpm+pin - it requires a pin to boot the machine (to do the windows upgrade to do the shift + f10 trick), say you do boot it - you'll still need a login - with local admin to run the update. And guess what - if you have local admin you can just switch off the protectors inside the existing version of windows. Plus most well run enterprises aren't going to allow the machine to be patched in this manner.
In other words - if your corporate security policies are even halfway sane - there's nothing to worry about.
Microsoft's management ui for their cloud services is actually really quite nice. Plus if you already have a paid developer account - you get a decent amount of time for free on Azure.
Weren't the founders really conceding to states rights advocates, and the notion that the federalists didn't really trust the population to elect presidents?
Most jobs I've taken they do some sort of training on this, but it goes without saying that its always qualified "within reason". For instance if your religion involves wearing racist slogans on your cloths/skin, drugs, clothing that prevents you from wearing safety gear - your employer doesn't have to put up with that. If your pregnant and you work in construction and your employer can't make reasonable accommodations for this - they don't have to put up with it.
I think most people would take some offense at any shop that said "no liberals, no conservatives, no pro gay (conservatives or liberals), no anti-gay" signs on their door. I think the bakery incident came down to the fact that the state of Oregon prohibits sexual discrimination, and so does the federal government - and it wasn't a significant burden on them to make a cake. There would be zero controversy if that same bakery did this to a black or Mexican person. There would probably be less controversy if a bakery refused to make a racist cake.
You know - a lot of it is up to the courts to decide what is reasonable or not. If you're a white supremacist on twitter - talk to your lawyer.
What makes you think you can't control what windows can connect to?
I love it at work when Linux nerds get a hold of windows - they automatically assume that nothing is configurable because it's made for idiots. I don't assume things about Linux and I've got no problem moving between the two.

This is true, but it also means that porting games from PS4 or XBOne is going to be that much harder on the Nintendo...
Which is maybe the point? I'm not sure - if they wanted to broaden their software title base and start supporting things like CoD.

No - I think the decision to invade Iraq will forever trump the title "worst foreign policy strategy every implemented by the US".

Do you use a cell phone? Because corporate overlords can track your location that way too...
In fact they have to for cell phones to work - to know which tower to route a call to (if needed).
I don't think this is all that much different.

Apple's markup is pretty insane.

This is net neutrality.
Right - so he's ok banning lobbyists, unless they actually work for him (Treasury Secretary as an example).

There's a big difference between being a pothead and occasionally using.

Not to mention most corporations won't be upgrading machines without using management software. This is such a non story.

Not all states have these laws, and the constitutionality of these laws have never been tested.

I for one wouldn't mind splitting off from Jesusville. I think those idiots should be able to run their own country without taking us down with them.

Why does a car need the curl utility to make bluetooth work?
Because in theory... you can't change the color of your skin, your sex/gendor or your sexual preference.
One big difference btw is that there are things called protected classes. Nazi/Alt-Right isn't a protected class.
Being Gay or Black is.
