Isn't there also a ban on electronics in the cabin? So no laptop in carry-on or in checked baggage means no laptop at all. I guess the solution is to FedEx your stuff overnight and hope that it shows up for the business meeting. Too bad AmTrak trains are so slow and infrequent.
The national anthem is overplayed. Even at dinky peewee league games it is played. Same with the flag. Almost every porter potty now comes with a US flag. It is constantly on and everywhere losing its meaning. I never understood why the anthem is played at national competitions anyway. Play it at international competitions and for other noteworthy events. That way it remains special and might receive the respect that some demand.
I'd be quite happy if Verizon offered a me too, mainly having a means to watch ALL subscribed channels via a web player. TimeWarnerSpectrum had this for years and it worked very well even over their unreliable and patheticly slow connections. Another welcome me too would be a properly working 3rd party ID service. When using Fox2Go on mobile the login via Verizon typically does not work. This wouldn't be "copying what others do", but considered catching up. For what they charge their service and devices should be significantly better, crash less often, and have reasonable hardware replacements included. I think after 7 years they can give me a new remote for free having paid for it at least ten times over already.
Especially since the IRS signed and then temporarily (!!!) suspended a multimillion Dollar contract with Equifucks.
When does the government start protecting its residents from crime and evil? Why is Equifucks still in business? Close that shop down and throw the managers in jail.
As sad as this is, but significantly more people get shot every year by the overabundance of guns in the US. The trigger-happy gun hugging Trump voters care even less about that. Repeal the 2nd Amendment!
We need a comprehensive law that requires for each and every bit of information to be collected written consent. First violation is 5% of annual revenue, second offense is 20% of revenue, third is the end of the entire corporation with top level managers being personally liable for any damages. Harsh, but will fix this rampant abuse in no time.
Krapersky shovels tons of data from your system to servers in Canada and Russia without any explanation as to why this is necessary. That traffic is easy to spot and can be blocked, but it is a clear signal that you are better off with no AV than with Krapersky. And without Krapersky system no longer need half an hour to boot up and your browsers start working right again.
The answer is easy: exclusively use Linux clients. For those cases where Windows is needed keep a handful of VMs around that run Windows.
This case also shows that the common claim that for every Windows app there is an equal Linux counterpart is false. It further shows that the Windows ecosystem made it impossible to switch to alternatives because there are none.
It needs to be up to the user to send any data to Microsoft. If the user decides not to send anything then Win 10 ought to not send a bit. Simple as that. In order to get the data, Microsoft should offer an incentive.
Bought a watch there and for the longest time they adjusted the armband and swapped the battery for free. One fine day they told me they no longer offer that service. That was the last time I was in a Target store. With that attitude towards customers they can NEVER compete with Amazon.
"Why the F am I carrying ID?" - An ID that you can only obtain by providing your SSN. What makes matters worse, that ID is typically a driver's license and they come in so many forms that even officials might not be able to spot a counterfeit ID. What we need is a national ID that is also tied to a residence registry.
"And if that information is abused, it's up to the victim to correct it - if they can - and cover the costs."
Equifax should be forced to cover those costs and provide the services using a prime provider for life for anyone who was subject to that breach. The pathetic one year monitoring just doesn't cut it, especially when it is done by a obscure company with a shady track record. Anthem did the same thing, they offered monitoring for a year, but picked the worst vendor on the market to offer that service.
"We must have European regulations and laws regarding our data and privacy. Business is incapable of acting ethically, fairly and honestly."
Likewise, we need to have the laws changed that individuals can pick their own health insurance company with the employer paying the same subsidy as for the company plan. Sadly, we got the wrong president in power for any of that to happen. It is more likely that the few restrictions will get tossed as well.
Microsoft's lifeline is Exchange and with that Outlook and with that Office. Windows comes second, but Microsoft's management tries really hard to make people hate Windows so much that they look for alternatives (that currently are not better or even worse, such as OS X).
Yes, Microsoft sunk a lot of money into XBox development and they have yet to turn a profit on that product line. It is not as bad as Windows Phone, but not great either. Any decent Windows gaming PC outperforms the XBox.
The only area where Microsoft was and still is #1 is development tools. Look at any modern IDE and they are all modeled after VisualStudio. Sadly, that same excellence does not extent to Test Manager and TFS querying.
As far as fixing Microsoft's issues....ditch the top five management levels and do not replace them. Hire a spokesperson for public presentations. That saves a ton of money and Microsoft will operate much better than before without the dozens of clueless micromanagers at the top.
It hurts in the throats and lungs of those living downwind from these sooty polluters. Coal is dirty, coal is dangerous, coal is death. But I guess that, too, is just a Chinese hoax or fake news cooked up by liberal media, huh? Also is counter to the current reality where power generators opt for natural gas (not much better than coal) and renewables. Trump & Co once again show that they are totally detached from reality. If it generates jobs, then maybe a few hundred...far cry from the thousands that Trump fired from his administration.
....that established news outlets are reliable sources? Just look at Trump's propaganda channel Fox News and rest assured to be served up at least heavily biased stories if not entirely fake news.

That goes back in with the next update after the reviews are completed. Uninstall Krapersky and pick sth else, case closed.
Trump will force more dirty coal to be burnt so that the projections are correct.
That cuts 90% of the hate speech on Twitter in a single action.

It is on par with Spectrum....except that Spectrum has slower lines and charges more.

Did you have WiFi on? They might have just caught your device on their network.

Edge sucks so bad that users don't even turn it on. 100% effective against malware and phishing.

....should just get a new identity and move. We get random names, SSNs, and addresses assigned and start our lives over from scratch.
It is, just with alternative facts.

Which moron thought this is a good idea? Please step forward so that we can beat you with a wet noodle. Seriously, who comes up with this shit??
...and now 5 years later they notice it? Why are companies like that still allowed to stay in business?
