They could have saved themselves some money and bought a whole airline - Air France-KLM has a market cap of less than $3 billion, and it's not an overvalued dot-com. They could get same-day service for packages anywhere they fly - their own captive cargo carrier, with passengers and other cargo paying the freight.
It's not a linux subsystem, despite what microsoft calls it. They even admit there is NO linux kernel code in their "linux" subsystem, same as there's no windows kernel code in Wine. All it can do is run a subset of ubuntu userland code.
Only freetards insist on calling it GNU/anything. Bet you won't be calling it Oracle/Gnu/Linux if it has mysql or openoffice or Java installed. Same as you won't call it Adobe/windows if it has photoshop installed.
Whoa, cowboy. There is no "linux environment." This is NOT linux under windows. Even Ubuntu admits that. They do NOT get their own copy of ubuntu installed, just the userland. BIG difference.
Repeat after me - there is NO linux subsystem. You're just running some ubuntu user space code the same way that linux can run windows code - think "wine".
It's not even that. You are NOT running linux under windows. There is no such thing. Even Canonical admits that. It's just parts of the Ubuntu user space. No linux kernel. No vm. No container. Nada. Think of wine in reverse.
Linus (or rather, the linux foundation) should sue for slander for anyone calling it "linux under windows."
The phone is also great for reaching out to people directly and in a semi-real-time fashion (send them a text). Or in real time (give them a call). There are many other PITA services that do the same thing as twitter, without the word count limit.
Backchannel is just trolling for clicks. Twitter sign up rates have slowed down for the same reason Facebook has - there's only a limited number of people interested in that shit on a day to day basis, and churn (people leaving because they have better things to do with their time) is now a problem. Besides, what the hell is Twitter good for anyway? Even Twitter doesn't know, or they would be doing it instead of copying other's ideas.
You don't even have to obey a police ORDER from a cop outside their jurisdiction, since, as in this case, Facebook is in California and Baltimore is in Maryland. All the police could do was make a request - they could NOT make an order, and the recipient of the request from someone acting outside their jurisdictional authority can be safely ignored.
Or are you now going to claim that they should be obeyed even when they're acting outside their jurisdiction? I dare you.
Neither "the government" nor the police ordered it shut down.
The wording in TFA is"an emergency request from the Baltimore County Police Department".
That's right - an emergency request, not an order accompanied by a summons. Learn how the law works in your own country. Fucking dumb libtards.
An emergency request by the government. And, though you disagree, the courts have ruled that a "request" from the government is considered an "order" as far as law goes.
Bullshit. There would be no need for a warrant otherwise.
In an emergency, the police CAN order, but this was not an order, it was a request. You said I was a liar, and to prove it, and I found the proof in the very first link. So what do you do? Waaa, that's not fair! Words don't mean anything other than what I want them to mean.
And let's face it, you have NO experience standing up for civil rights against the police. You are just a coward who talks big behind the keyboard.
Then you went all lamer by saying that a "government request" is the same as an order,
No, I went all lamer by pointing out that the Government asserts that a request by the government is legally considered an order, when it comes to violating rights. That's not my opinion. That's the governments. If you don't like it, argue with the Supreme Court. Not me. I can't change reality to match your broken opinion.
No, you failed to provide any proof beyond your assertion, while demanding I provide proof for mine. The difference between us is I'm not a fucktard, I found and provided the proof. You, on the other hand failed to prove that the request was really an order in this case - because you can't. The police did not have the jurisdictional authority to order it.
Here's a clue - Facebook is headquartered in Menlo Park, CA, not under the jurisdiction of the Baltimore police department in any shape, manner, or form. No maryland police department can order a company outside it's jurisdiction to do squat.
the difference between a request and an order (warrant.)
If the police ask you to get out of your car during a traffic stop, is that a "request" or an "order"? It's both. That "request" is a "lawful order". You are arguing that the law is wrong because it doesn't match your personal opinion. I can't change the law to match your broken opinion. Go argue with the Supreme Court.
No, it's not. a LAWFUL ORDER is a lawful order. A request is not. Police make requests all the time, people refuse, the cops either leave, or make an arrest and get told off by the judge in court.
Ask anyone who was arrested because they refused a police request to stop videoing their activities during an arrest. Or anyone who refused a police request to search their purse without either probable cause or a warrant.
But like I said, you are the one who bends over and grabs your ankles in the face of questionable law - even defending it. And then you have the hypocritical gall to accuse me of what you're doing? Take the log out of your eye (or more likely, your ass). You're a coward, and cowards who don't stand up for their rights don't really deserve them.
No, of those tested only 1% or less had drugs if they were on welfare, and about 10% of the general population. Spending a million is going to get a reasonable sample size, one that will not be expected to change drastically if you sampled everyone.
Boy, are you stupid. There are plenty of videos on youtube of people refusing to get out of their car when the police request without giving a valid reason. Same as there are videos of people refusing to stop making videos of the cops when asked to.
And they're dealing with cops with guns. Same as I've told cops with guns to go fuck themselves when they've asked me to do something that I wasn't required to do by law. Like I said, you are a coward. You don't know your rights. You are too scared to do anything but obey "the man with the gun." You'd be worse than useless at any civil rights protest - you'd just get in the way of those of us standing up for civil rights. In other words, you're a sheeple!!!
A smaller manufacturer still has millions available for defending bogus lawsuits. So do their insurers. Drone manufacturers not so much, but the responsibility is clearly the operator's.
Because Roi de Janero is a shithole? Even the people living right next to the Olympics are saying the same thing. And they're also saying that it's a total con job.
A shithole is a shithole is a shithole, doesn't matter who is saying it when it's the truth.
Even with the biggest sporting event in the world now in the starting blocks, the response to the Olympics from many in Rio de Janeiro is anger and frustration.
At an impoverished neighbourhood not far from the city's new Olympic Park, raw sewage floats down a stream behind dilapidated housing teeming with children playing by the water, oblivious to the health threat it represents.
"It's a total con job," said Mateus Braga, a local resident.
The Olympics, he said, "are so foreigners can come here and enjoy it all, while Brazilians bear the consequence of the government not spending on education, health care or sanitation."
Somewhere between $10 billion and $12 billion has been spent on the Games in Brazil, but critics say that money should have been spent elsewhere.
Journalist and author Juliana Barbassa isn't surprised at the public fury.
She's written extensively about Brazil's poverty and corruption in the shadow of the Games.
Games sold as 'a giant urban renewal tool'
"The Olympics were pitched to the people of Rio, sold to the people of Rio, as a giant urban renewal tool, a way to revamp the city," she said.
"And what we got was a mega world party that cost a whole lot more than just doing those changes on their own."
Barbassa noted the many thousands of Brazilians displaced by the Games, and two years earlier, by the World Cup of soccer.
Even in the days before the Games opened, demolition crews were knocking down more housing to clear ground near the Olympic Village. Many of the displaced people have been given new housing elsewhere, but few seem happy about it.
A series of new condominium-style buildings will house athletes from around the world this month, but instead of being offered afterward as much-needed housing for the poor, they're in line to be sold to Rio's wealthy.
Half the sewage isn't treated, and even that number goes down when it rains. The hospitals don't have money for sufficient gloves, syringes, antibiotics, so they've cut the number of operations they perform in half. The police and military are corrupt. So is the government, right to the very top. The president was thrown in jail, and awaits trial.
You claimed that (1) "the government ordered it closed." You also claimed that "Because of (1) it was government censorship".
And when I said that you were full of shit, you said to prove it, which I did, complete with a link.
Neither "the government" nor the police ordered it shut down. So you lose on 1, and since 1 was a lie, you also lose on 2.
Then you went all lamer by saying that a "government request" is the same as an order, because you would never think to tell "the government" to get a warrant, because you're just a coward who doesn't even know their own rights, never mind stand up for them.
When people blame "the government", I know that I'm dealing with either someone who has never worked in their life, is a nutbar factor 6 or greater, a conspiracy theorist, or any combo of those. Grow up. You were wrong, you got called out on it, and you really need to learn a bit of law so that you understand the difference between a request and an order (warrant.) Fucking retard.
I guess you still haven't learned how to use google. From my first hit:
Police Chief Jim Johnson said Tuesday that the department made the emergency request to have Gaines' social media accounts suspended once they realized the videos were online. People who saw the postings were encouraging her to not comply with the police, he said.
So quit lying about who asked (not ordered - asked).
And you're the one who needs to learn about the law. Asking is not "the equivalent of a court order." Ever see anyone say "sure, when you come back with a warrant?" Or are you so cowardly off-line that you would do anything and everything the police asked you to do because, in your own words "simply asking is legally the same as a court order." What a dummy.
So, stop spreading lies. Learn how the law actually works, and how individual rights work. In other words, grow up and start thinking like an adult instead of spewing lies and innuendo.
Brazil can't do shit. They don't even have enough money to pay their police and military; they would love to collect any duties from importing any product.
Brazil is barely a sovereign country now. Look at Venezuela - a failed state that is what Brazil will look like in a few more years if things don't change. Neither country can actually exercise their sovereignty - their borders are porous, often with the police and military cooperating in the smuggling.

Think of it as a shim. The binary makes the call to the shim, the shim calls windows code.
Messenger, Google+, Whatsapp, Hipchat, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit - heck, even slashdot if you like a mix of up-to-date and old news.
And you can most certainly share phone calls. That was possible even pre-Internet.
Only freetards insist on calling it GNU/anything. Bet you won't be calling it Oracle/Gnu/Linux if it has mysql or openoffice or Java installed. Same as you won't call it Adobe/windows if it has photoshop installed.
Since there's no linux in "linux on Windows", does it really matter?
Whoa, cowboy. There is no "linux environment." This is NOT linux under windows. Even Ubuntu admits that. They do NOT get their own copy of ubuntu installed, just the userland. BIG difference.

You realize that's only in Washington, don't you? Washington isn't a state. They do things differently there.
Who cares? If you have to ask if it was a quake or not, you're not in any danger whatsoever, and you can wait until the 6 o'clock news.
I already posted the link further up the thread.

Nice signature. Quite accurate.
I'm quite proud of now being the first ever.
The club only seems to work as a deterrent because only people driving shitboxes use them. Nobody wants to steal you Chrysler Omni or AMC Pacer.
This is neither new, nor restricted to jeeps. Even premium brands such as BMW are just as vulnerable.
