If you think that bigotry (and prejudice) is confined to the lower class, you haven't taken a close look at how many of the upper class hold the poor in contempt, as being less valuable because they didn't come from privilege and fail to bootstrap themselves into a better life. Social Darwinists, no different from libertarians when push comes to shove.
Right. Because previous olympics also had events taking place in raw sewage, zika virus, and body parts washing up on the beach. No difference whatsoever.
The topic is accessibility. One of the features of the latest update is improved accessibility. All operating systems have a long way to go in this area.
Who owns the intellectual property is irrelevant. The intellectual property owner rarely is the producer of the product. Take a piece of heavy equipment and look at all the different owners of the intellectual property. Or a car. Or a computer. None of them actually manufacture anything. Caterpillar and Case, Ford, Toyota, Lenovo, etc., are the producers and it's their product to sell, not the different owners of the IP.
You are such a fucking moron who can't admit you fucked up. Grow up.
Kids are the ultimate "I don't want them to have to deal with this". Unfortunately, as we see from the statistics, sometimes even that isn't enough. Depression sux.
It looks like many of us suspected - the deadline was a "soft" one. It encouraged people who were on the fence to jump, bumping up the numbers. Can't really blame them, if they hadn't set an artificial deadline, people would just keep putting it off.
If they had killer assistive tech without the data mining, I'd probably give it a whirl... but when simple things like the screen magnifier give me nausea and don't close by hitting ESC but need you to either remember a keyboard shortcut or kill the process manually, I'm a bit leery. Especially since the screen reader doesn't work until you're logged in. Imagine a forced update that makes the machine not boot - no screen reader, what are you going to do except ask someone else for help? Forced updates are a deal-breaker for those using assistive technology.
So, it is supposed to "reduce the manic symptoms of bipolar disorder." Instead of being depressed some of the time, now you can be depressed ALL the time.
Many people with this disorder decide that they'd rather have the highs where they can get a million things done and are more creative, than to be dull all the time.
Easier to just use proper blinds to block out any outside lights. Your devices screens should be off when you're trying to sleep anyway.
Perhaps one contributing factor is the use of CFL lightbulbs - many of them emit a bluish-white light. Save energy, but f*ck up your head? After all, you'll be more exposed to them at night.
Other emails show DNC staff in damage control over allegations from the Sanders campaign, when a report - corroborated by a Politico - revealed the DNC’s joint fundraising committee with the Clinton campaign was laundering money to the Clinton campaign instead of fundraising for down-ticket Democrats. Regardless of the fundraising tactics, because both major campaigns didn’t agree to use the joint fundraising committee super-PAC with the DNC, the DNC should have recused itself from participating with just the Clinton campaign.
I'm waiting for the day when President Trump jokes that he just launched a nuclear strike on Russia.
He'll probably then blame the Russian government for not realising it was a joke. Via the emergency broadcasting system, from his bunker underneath what remains of Washington.
The favoritism is all from the media - notice how quickly attention was diverted from the DNC fixing the nomination process? If this had been the republicans, they'd be all over the nomination fixing like flies on shit.
Subverting the election process is a lot more damaging long-term than a one-time hack by someone in Russia who may or may not be from the government.
Anyone doing serious work on a laptop over an extended period of time isn't going to give a shit about the screen - they'll be using an external screen, monitor, and mouse. So all that extra money is wasted.
The internal components come from the same manufacturer as the consumer line. So really, what are you paying for?
Boy are you stupid. The suppliers don't give their products to manufacturers - they SELL them. Hence the definition applies. Samsung was selling Apple silicon on a chip. Apple only supplied the designs. Also, you can sell services. 2/3 of the economy is services, fucktard.

Winning an Olympic medal in some places can be life changing
Caitlyn Jenner, is that you?
Hey, it's the Olympics. New event - see who can get the runs the fastest :-)
If it weren't for politics and money, governments would be putting travel bans in place.

Yeah, my "assistive technology" consists of a 32 inch, 1080 TV and a cell phone running VNC viewer, both not commonly considered assistive technology.
Lucky you. I can't even follow a hockey puck when standing a couple of feet from my 50" tv. Good thing I'm not a hockey fan.

For those who can't find the link, it's beside the title.
Also, I still haven't "upgraded" ...

What's not to like? They had the right idea with Windows 98. :-)
American exceptionalism. "It's wrong except when we do it."
They're just following the long-standing example of the USA.

Follow the money.

Why wait? Reagan made that particular joke decades ago.

And where pray, is this Montreal?
Google is your friend :-)
Laptops are so cheap that when they die, you don't fix them - you get a new one. Or get something else.
"loopholes and tricks" are things judges frown upon. Lawyers trying such tactics piss off judges - not a winning strategy.
I get to call you stupid because you are. Go look up the definition of product.
No - the Montreal courthouse. It was hilarious when the guy was caught the second time. He preyed on members of his immigrant community.
