You don't have to install the microcode update ya galah.
I doubt anybody would have sympathy for you if you install the update knowing about the performance hit/reduced features and then cry "it doesn't work like it should!". That's not to say I don't think Intel are assholes, because I think they are.
Seems to be only Fridays to stop people working on weekends, winding down from 20:00 to 19:00 over a few months. The TFA doesn't contain much more than TFS. I thought a 50 hour week was bad (for Aussie standards), I guess I'm not too bad off!
If a government steps in to say your working too hard there is likely to be an ulterior motive. What could it be?
This is not that different to the usual hiring process where you screen resumes and then do personal screening, ie interviews.
In this case it is the other way around. Of course a 10 second video isn't the same as a personal interview, but I wouldn't be surprised if 10 seconds is all a Manager needs to decide whether they want to hire you or not.
I rarely ever buy McDonalds but I applaud them for trying something new that appeals generally to younger people, who they seem to hire most.
Since you nit-picked on the single word 'will', perhaps you didn't notice 'caveats'. But just in case you are not being deliberately obtuse, pointing out that./'ers will point out problems is a dig at how negative some posts are.
This kind of service exists for trucks and farm equipment, so it is possible that it would work for cars too. There are caveats though, which I'm sure/.'ers will point out.
So how many children have been prosecuted for human trafficking in South Carolina? Is it a real problem there?
I was under the impression that human trafficking was usually adults preying upon other adults and children. I know I'm going out on a limb here, but perhaps this isn't about human trafficking at all?
Thanks for correcting my information South Carolina, I better keep up my guard when interacting with a child now, they could be a human trafficking kingpin and out to GET ME!!
Assuming that Apple has installed a moderately well produced SSD, shouldn't it outlast the rest of the laptop?
Not saying that soldering it in was a good idea, but it is hardly the component to die first. If it were a spinning metal drive, then yes, that would be stupid as it would probably fail first.
Just another way for third party repairs and self upgrades can be limited. I used to think the Apple "throw it away and get a new model next year" jokes were just jokes.
Any idea on who pays for the terminal upgrade, it wasn't mentioned in the article? If it is being forced on a business, then the credit card company should be sending them out free of charge (assuming that the terminal will be paid off with transaction fees). I'm guessing this is not the case.
Otherwise, why is there are problem rolling out new terminals?
Although it is unlikely that a hack will occur, hopefully J&J will look at security more thoroughly in the future. Obviously a person dying due to a faulty, or hacked insulin pump is less expensive than a recall and firmware update.
Maybe they could just post equipment in major cities that hack the new firmware onto the pumps! No recall, and probability of a hack goes down even further. What on earth could possibly go wrong?!
At least the quotes don't sound like they were written by a progressive, brand visionary, user centrist methodology PR company; they've admitted that there is a problem, and it wasn't spun to say it was in the best interest of the users (take note HP).

Since the courts sometimes can compel a defendant to hand over a password for an electronic device, but sometimes can't, the TLA's obviously need a workaround right? Is that what is going on here? The TLA's can't assume access to your data and want to make sure they can?
First they came for the reviews, and I did not speak out, Then they came for the online blogs, and I did not speak out, Then they came for the shoppers, and I did not speak out, Then they came for slashdotters, and I did not speak out, And there was nobody left to speak for me.
Personally, I liked having the option to specify so many UI changes in the Linux systems I am using.
Microsoft doing everything they can to get you to upgrade to Win10 is the reason I have moved to (more) Linux based systems now. Being the product instead of being the end user isn't a good fit for me either.
Or just using a long password held only in the brain. A lot less complicated than multiple layers of security, works right now and is "safe enough" for most people.
For example, a police officer that doesn't respect your rights and asks to see the device contents without a warrant, because you were filming or were using your device in a manner they didn't like.
One drawback is the time it takes entering a long password when you need your device quickly or need to check it often.Although, Android does have a feature so you can set 'safe areas' where your password will not be needed once the device is unlocked once.
I have work and home set as places where I only have to enter the password about once or twice per day, no matter how many times I check the device.
If somebody stole my phone it will automatically lock once they leave WiFi range of home or work.
A good trade off between security and ease of use imo.
I'm sure that the there are theatre staff that record films too, but I doubt that the PR people will address that publicly. I'm sure theatre managers will be told to look at staff.
But publicly, it's their customers they should come down on. Wow, way to go making people feel bad about pirating films.
I think the general case for right handed people is that the pointer finger is used for left click, ring finger is used for right click. I imagine this is now due to the mice having two large buttons and a scroll wheel instead of three large buttons.
Try using only two fingers on the mouse instead of three, then your ring finger will not dangle, unlike other appendages.

Fair enough.
I wonder how many people will just reinstall the removed addons? I'm sure there is somebody already writing up a how-to just for this court ruling.

If it works, great, if it doesn't, that's ok too.

I'm not quite sure you go the parents joke there buddy.
I did enjoy reading your dystopian rant though.
Because that's where real prostitutes hang out.
I think I can see why you posted this comment as AC.

Where's a link to the Futurama informational video on why sex bots are bad when you need it?
I'm a bit baffled by the lack of comments on this.
Being able to move your leg (even a little bit) after being told you have lost all control of them forever is pretty damn amazing!
I hope this is the start of a new scientific/medical field for people who have had spinal cord injuries.

Whoever let this on /. should be shot, assuming articles are moderated.
