Actually, now you can download a Windows 10 install media creator direct from Microsoft. It may be missing some drivers, but you can get those from the manufacturer's site, and should be updating them anyway when doing a recovery install. On the flip side, the Microsoft solution doesn't contain the vendor specific bloatware, just the Microsoft bloat.
Also, while having an insecure website is not a positive sign, it's possible the organization took the (arguably technically correct but incorrect from a public relations view) that the website, not being part of the actual vote counting apparatus, was not particularly important to secure. If the actual vote counting infrastructure provided a secure read-only access to the website, the organizatoin may have decided to spend limited development dollars on securing the actual voting machines rather than the unofficial website.
They aren't controlling what the customer does. They are controlling what is allowed to be downloaded via their service. I disagree with the blanket disallowing of the apps, but as long as they allow them to sideload, they are only changing which contracts that their system will facilitate.
I've known of people who made a copy of their side of the correspondence so they could keep track of the context themselves. This would be no different. And from a privacy standpoint, arguably the family has more right to the deceased's side of the correspondence than to the letters received by the deceased.
If you accept the comparison to letters and diaries, then it wouldn't be any different than finding a shoebox full of letters. The sender of those letters had no say in whether or not you read them.
Back in the earlier days of Linux, the problem often tended to be that all the "RTFM" and "do a search before posting" responses would overwhelm the one forum thread that everyone was telling you to search for to find out how to actually fix the problem.
In most jurisdictions, if you over-collect something that you label as sales tax, you are required to submit the amount collected, not the amout required.
When I was in California, going to Subway, if you had the sandwich toasted it was prepared food that had full sales taxes, but if it wasn't it was considered groceries and had no taxes applied. Where I am now, for normal items it's 6.5%, but for restuarant food, it's 11% (not sure what the city/state breakdown is)
My place of employment doesn't allow personal electronic devices into the building at all. Granted there are a handful of lockboxes, but not nearly enough for even a quarter of the employees if locking it in the car stopped being an option.
Stop doing this, it gets you a lot more goodwill than rolling it back.
Does it though? At this point, there is enough bad will toward Microsoft that essentially doing nothing is not going to improve their reputation by much, anything they do that contributes to open source is automatically assumed to be the start of embrace, extend, extinguish or just assumed to be a small gesture to keep people off their back. By rolling back, they get positive reporting that they contributed to the open source, then additional positive reporting when they roll back the conflict. At this point relatively minor negative reporting of a name conflict almost rolls off Microsoft's back as noise given the general tenor of reporting on them.
While outside agencies are a plus, it would not be necessary as long as you come up with appropriate cross incentives. Similar to a business requiring multiple approvers in different chains of command to spend certain amounts or change policies.
US Navy ships pick a reasonable time zone close to solar time on the open ocean, and the time zone for the next/previous port call when near land. UTC is used for scheduling between ships and other activities as occasionally they may be operating with a ship that is observing a different time zone.
I initially took it as clarifying a reference to the television show and not the martial art. While I'm aware of the show, I would have assumed the latter was meant if it hadn't been clarified. (I would have just called "the tv show", not "a popular tv series")
To be fair to Scott Adams, I think that was his syndicate's call. His personal blog has a full feed and his comic was the last of the universal feeds to go notification only as well as the only one still working at all.
The only limit should be what the RAM in the server is capable of handling. You should be hashing the passwords, so database storage is a constant per record.
Worse than that is the occasional page that appears to completely load, and then the browser decides it's broken enough that they clear the screen you've been reading and say the page couldn't be rendered.
I think the bigger problem is that for the average consumer, the new processor series mean nothing. Before, you could tell by the name of the processor that it was a step forward. 286, 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, etc. (Pentium at least told you it was different) Now, unless you follow architectures, there is nothing to make it obvious that this year's i7 is any different from the ones from 2009. Why should I upgrade? I already have an i7 and the clock speed is essentially the same (and in many cases, lower). While as techies we understand the under-the-hood changes that make the difference, it's difficult for the person that's just grabbing a system for the family to surf on to tell there's anything new to justify spending money on a system. While the processor prices have gone down comparatively, meaning you don't have to get an i7 to get the same performance that you got with earlier i7s, you have to know what the alphabet soup that Intel now uses for model names actually tells you.
I had a site that had a maximum password length, but to make it worse, they would let you enter a longer password, truncate it in the database, but not truncate it in the input site. It took me an hour to figure out why I couldn't get it to recognize my password.
I started by saying it wasn't as bad as claimed, but for many businesses, unsupported does equal not working for practical purposes. Also, Windows 8.1 mainstream support ends in Jan 2018. Skylake is available now, and they have stated that they will not support it on 8.1 except on specific configurations (going so far as to name specific computer models), and then only until July 2017, changing what I imagine is the most common interpretation of mainstream support. Is it the huge deal that many of the sites are making it out to be? Not likely, but the FUD seems to be largely intentional on their part. The blog I linked was the official Microsoft one, not just a random repost.

Bionic defaults to 7.3 and has 8 available. The package you linked to isn't installed by default.

Not least "your battery runs flat, but you need to open it to jump-start it" (so either all the doors open, or you can't get into it at all)
This is a problem with lots of new cars, not really related to this digital key question.
Most if not all the smart key solutions I've seen have a mechanical key hidden in the fob, so you can always at least open the car.
Isn't the whole point of this to replace the key fob?

This is not to say the procedures are sufficient, just that they technically could be.
While outside agencies are a plus, it would not be necessary as long as you come up with appropriate cross incentives. Similar to a business requiring multiple approvers in different chains of command to spend certain amounts or change policies.
They aren't. They are required to honor problems not caused by the repairs or modifications.

A proper HUD will be optically collimated so that the focal length is infinity, negating the need to refocus.
