Leftist? Obama is a Democrat in name only. Sanders is a center Democrat. There are no leftists in US politics, which is traditional way too far right-wing nationalistic and business oriented.
The big issue is that for someone in the US it is impossible to buy rights from Germany to stay with the example given, for a consumer that is. I'd love to see more German shows, but geoblocking prevents it. I'm nor arguing that everything should be free, but everything should be reasonably accessible at a fair price.
As far as Netflix goes, their foreign content section is sooo dismal. That was the main reason I dropped their service. The free on demand channel from my TV provider had a better selection than Netflix.
Come to think, it is more the other way around. Folks in Germany want to see what is available in the US. So maybe it is Netflix's own content that they want to see protected by all means to maximize their profits. Ahhh....now I understand.
While there might be a disconnect between Mozilla staff and Mozilla leadership, I think the much bigger disconnect is between Mozilla users (us) and Mozilla staff/leaders. While I am not that versed with all Mozilla projects, Thunderbird was the last one that worked well and suited the needs without being burdened by useless features and the nth UI redesign when UI is the least of the problems.
I engaged once with Mozilla to volunteer services and provide feedback and they went out of their way to ridicule and attack. If the Mozillas would put as much effort into coding as they do into alienating users we all would be in a much better place.
As far as Thunderbird is concerned, being able to use the same profile from multiple clients using a plain simple network share would eliminate plenty of problems. It was suggested years ago and shut down immediately.
Will someone please explain the clueless and woefully uninformed users that downloading and installing GWX Control Panel takes a minute and prevents this all from happening?
Would even happen in high cost technically advanced programs. This - as well as most other software bugs - are caused by managerial decisions that force software to ship before it is fully tested. Quality assurance ranks even lower than documentation and customer support in software companies. You grab a few folks, put them on the QA team, and give them little time and no tools. The sole purpose is not to assure quality, but to check a box on some list....and have someone to blame if things go wrong.
This kind of issue is common in the software industry these days. Delivery dates are set way before the engineering team has a chance to make an educated estimate and if there is a time crunch then testing time is cut. Reason: cannot cut development time because you cannot ship what does not exist. Result: software is released that is not properly tested. The flaws are detected during later stages of testing or once in full production use.
Conclusion: want reliable systems and software? Then cut features, not quality!
With pricing being a key point in IoT and SBCs the 5$ difference makes, well, all the difference. If the Pi Foundation did target a different price point and went with 40$ rather than 35$ resale I am sure they could add more RAM and a faster processor. I am also sure that if the Pi 3 has such a massive heatsink burying the board then the processor can be clocked much higher.
I don't understand the complaints, for the price the Pi 3 is an excellent piece of hardware in an incredible form factor with plenty of applications. The common desktop user finds in this little thing a suitable replacement or alternative to a big bulky desktop PC.
Eagerly awaiting my Pi 3 and hope that the Pi 4 comes with SATA or any other common, but faster connection to mass storage.
Maybe we can then get some performance out of this pig. MSSQL Server on on Windows Server is the biggest performance bottleneck in enterprise apps, plus MSSQL is ridiculously difficult to maintain.
Reagan was a major disaster! SDI was one of the biggest federal money wasters of all time. Who in their right mind is so ridiculously stupid to propose reviving SDI again? Oh yes, Republican tea party presidential candidates who run on a platform that wants to cut down federal spending. Only shows how moronic Cruz and his tea baggers are. Other than blocking everything (including their own proposals) and shutting down the government they have not accomplished anything. I hope these losers get voted out of office again.
Logarithms are important to know, they are used in many scales and units, such as Richter scale and AWG.
I think this is just another ploy to keep people Smart enough so that they do not have to be on welfare, but stupid enough so they are happy with baseball and six packs and do not ask any tough questions.
I can't think that developers will be gobbling this up. Even for a mid size company is 3000$ for an SDK a lot of money. Microsoft is not cool enough that people blindly drop any amount on the table just because it is their product. Used to work for Apple, but even their customers realized that they only get some tech that others sell for less.
Microsoft totally overpriced the SDK. They should have set it to a much lower price and take a hit on the few units shipped to devs. Once there is a product with applications find ways to monetize that.
Cultures that encourage raping? Look at the places in the US where rape and teen pregnancy are highest: Alaska and all the of so Christian states in the Bible Belt.
Bovine excrement! Merkel did what needed to be done because there are thousands of people who need help after fleeing a totally preventable civil war that only turned that nasty because other governments had zero interest to intervene. If you do not fix the problems over there the problems will come to your doorstep. After not doing a thing to stop Assad from murdering his own people the least we can do is give food, shelter, and a future to those who spent months traveling under horrid conditions.
Where do you guys get this information? Yes, there were some high profile cases of organized crime, but across the board the refugees, immigrants, and foreigners are not more criminal than German citizens. It really is telling once you look at it taking income levels into account. Poor people are more likely to turn to crime, especially those who are prevented from taking on real jobs, such as the refugees. If you sit every day in mass housing with hundreds of others with zero privacy you just get dumb ideas.
The issue of resources is factually wrong, it does not exist. Germany never had as many resources available as today and in the past mastered much larger numbers of refugees under much more difficult circumstances. Claiming there is a lack of resources is purely egoism.
I spent decades living in Germany and met many of integrated Muslims, several of those who even celebrate Christmas just so that they fit in although they still have their other religious believes. So what if they are called Mohammed or Mesut or Cenk or Mustafa or whatever else name their parents gave them. It is just a name. And "large portions of female children are in the "system" " is flatout wrong. Or do you have any convincing data to support that claim? The rest of your comment is just prejudice and hate speech, not worth commenting on.
50 years and plenty of integration! There are second generation Turks in the German parliament, on national sports teams, in top business positions, leaders in community organizations. Yes, there are those who never accepted that they are now living in a different world, but those are a negligible minority. Furthermore, the intent was to get guest workers in for a few years and then have them go back home. When these people arrived there was no need seen to integrate them in any way.
The point is that none of the criticism is voiced in such a way, although the example is factually wrong. Germany took in way more refugees as well as immigrants in much shorter time during economically much harder times. It is well possible to separate fact based debate from the nationalistic egoism that folks from CSU, AfD, and the various other nazi organizations propagate online.
Besides that, Facebook is not the press. Facebook is a service that can allow or reject any content they deem unfit.
If I am forced to turn ad blocking off I get ads for stuff I already own or stuff I would never buy or cannot afford. With all the data collected from who knows where the advertisers should know that I am in for inexpensive beer, inexpensive HDDs and SSDs, and looking for flights to Europe that do not cost a month's salary.
If you blast me with ads at least make them useful. Stop the carpet bombing of ads which is proven not to work. And no, not looking for a new carpet.
What does gay marriage have to do with the first amendment? If anything, the pseudoreligious propaganda from the rightwingers is what goes against the first amendment.
The second amendment was adopted before machine guns were invented and incredibly accurate firearms were mass produced. I'd be fine with keeping the 2nd Amendment if all that can be sold and carried are muzzle loaded muskets and folks have to cast their own lead bullets. The fact that times have changed is completely ignored by rightist loons like Scalia.
Obama could do without executive orders if the Republican Congress would start doing its job! All they do is stall and say "No" to everything. Someone needs to keep things going.

Core problem is the unrestricted sale of weapons into crisis regions. The millions of refugees in the world are fleeing armed conflicts.

Wireless for 2$ extra is fine, but I rather see them add SATA to the board. The SD storage is just too slow and too small.

....think Trump will be a great president. So what's the point? That Americans are dumb and care not a bit about their freedoms and their future?
Huh? Trump is in the right extremist (Fox News) camp up to his hair. The only one who is even worse is christian terrorist Cruz.
