While it may not be quite as bad as the quoted statement, Microsoft has announced that next generation processors will only be supported on Windows 10, and at least imply that newer processors won't work on Windows 7 and 8.1.
âGoing forward, as new silicon generations are introduced, they will require the latest Windows platform at that time for support. This enables us to focus on deep integration between Windows and the silicon, while maintaining maximum reliability and compatibility with previous generations of platform and silicon. For example, Windows 10 will be the only supported Windows platform on Intelâ(TM)s upcoming âoeKaby Lakeâ silicon, Qualcommâ(TM)s upcoming âoe8996â silicon, and AMDâ(TM)s upcoming âoeBristol Ridgeâ silicon.
âThrough July 17, 2017, Skylake devices on the supported list will also be supported with Windows 7 and 8.1. During the 18-month support period, these systems should be upgraded to Windows 10 to continue receiving support after the period ends. After July 2017, the most critical Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security updates will be addressed for these configurations, and will be released if the update does not risk the reliability or compatibility of the Windows 7/8.1 platform on other devices.
I'm not talking about the study. The study claims to address all the active shooter cases with enough information to do the analysis. I'm talking about the shooter's choice to attack a target that doesn't allow civilians to carry guns. In either case, if the large majority of the locations don't allow guns, then it skews the results in such a way as to dimish using them to determine the efficacy of citizens carrying guns to deter or stop the crimes.
One thing I didn't see touched on was how many of the locations were posted no guns allowed. Since a "good guy" wouldn't be carrying where not permitted, it's possible that many of these places were chosen because of a gun ban. It's only useful to look at places the armed good guy can exist when drawing these conclusions.
Because the two dimensional photograph of a three dimensional object does not fill the same purpose. You might be willing to settle for a framed photo of a painting as both act as wall art, but a framed photo of a statue or chair does not replace the actual object.
One thing that you're missing, at least according to the articles I read, is that when he became aware of the issue, he didn't report it, but simply removed the files. I've worked in government agencies dealing with PII before, and in almost all cases, knowledge of a breach of procedure like this requires reporting even if you don't have evidence that the data was ever accessed by an unauthorized party, with penaties ranging from internal discplinary actions to civil or criminal charges. While this doesn't mean he wasn't a scapegoat or that others shouldn't have also been fired, it does mean that it would be hard to argue wrongful termination when not reporting the action can be considered grounds for termination itself.
While I haven't used iTunes in years, the other thing that always made me hesitate was every time they came out with a slightly different iDevice variant, they would push an update that required you to download the entire app and all the related services rather than patch the program. Then the services that you didn't actually need if you were only using it to buy and organize music (Bonjour for example) would be reinstalled and restarted.
While I haven't read the links and haven't been following Rust, the extracts you give as an example of changing for the sake of change read to me as describing a language that is evolving to fulfill its purpose and perhaps a bit more. Thoses texts could very reasonably describe a language that was intended to meet the last description but the developers were being honest about the current state of the language.
A device that should only need three power leads and two speaker leads per channel needs a device that is similar in price to the the head unit itself just to replace functionality that is unrelated to the device's purported function. That seems like a logical way to design a device and completely immune to criticism. I don't take issue with an adapter needed to make things like steering wheel buttons work, but everthing on both the car and the radio should continue to function with the exception of built in audio controls even without the adapter or original radio.
I'm in the Navy. I have long stretches (sometimes months in length) where the only internet access I have is on government owned computers sharing a relatively low bandwidth connection with 300 other people. My in-laws live in an area where there is no option besides dialup or cellular. Not everyone is connected 24/7, but I guess we don't have any place to complain about not being able to play modern single-player games.
Actually, I have had a Casio with a LCD but with three colors for better than 15 years, and having those colors made it much easier to deal with things like multiple graphs. I also preferred the interface, it seemed to me that Casio did a better job of making it so that commonly used functionality didn't require as much diving into menus and sub modes. I can't speak for the programming aspect, because I never really got into it, but for using it as a graphing calculator, I always preferred it to the TI-8X's I tried.
While I mostly agree with you, and have seen more than one CAPTCHA that I can't solve no matter how many times I refresh, I have to disagree with you on the homeowners' association. While I agree that community is a good thing, and am in favor of community leagues that actually focus on community issues instead of rules about paint colors and whether basketball goals are allowed, almost every homeowner's association I've seen has been a way for the couple of people with the time and desire for control to override individual's property rights. Two homes ago, we were not allowed to use anything besides standard white mini-blinds in our houses, and at my last place there were only two colors that shutters and doors were allowed to be painted, and my landlord (an individual homeowner, not a complex) had to strip and restain his deck because at some point after he originally stained it they decided the previously allowed colors were no longer allowed.

Not just a Captain Kirk, but actually Captain James Kirk. He even jokes his middle name is Tiberius.
