My guess is nobody else installed Windows 10, all the Windows 7 users just swit ched to Linux or OS X. That's the only way they could jump that quickly.
That's what I did. I switched to Linux Mint after the last 'security upgrade' from MS blew my Win7 machine off the net.
Sadly, I find that a lot of the Linux applications out there are minimally functional, have few config options, and don't support much (if anything) in the way of data import and export.
It wasn't too hard finding replacement apps that had the features I need, but it was a huge pain in the ass getting my existing data into them...super frustrating and time-consuming.
While most features of goo.gl will eventually sunset, all existing links will continue to redirect to the intended destination
Remember this iin a couple of years when they sunset those links too. Seriously, do you trust google to keep anything up and running after they start decommissioning other parts of it? Do any parts of Hangouts still work?
URL shorteners SUCK, they're a miserably bad idea and always have been.
Case in point: goo.gl.....what happens to the millions upon millions of links now obfuscated by non-functioning goo.gl? They get lost and millions of 404 errors will rule the day.
Link shorteners have ALWAYS been a shitty, stupid idea. They're a great way to trick people into visiting some shitty malware site, but more importantly they break a fundamental part of the web- the fucking URL itself.
So they 'slash' prices on 500 out of what, 10,000 products? Hold on whilst I swoon.
Sorry, that won't convince me. Whole Foods, AKA "Whole Wallet" is an expensive place to shop no matter how much money you spend trying to convince me that it's not.
It isn't known as "Yuppie Central" for nothing. But hey, if you have more money than sense, shop there all day long.
While I'm glad you were able to make things work out well for yourself, I don't think having contraband phones in prison is good in the larger scheme of things.
You may have been among the 1% that used a contraband phone for positive purposes but the rest of the crew were mostly committing crimes with them, running gangs, giving orders for whatever, all sorts of things.
I'd be fine with blanking out the space inside prisons with cellphone jammers.
Actually, they don't. They, for the most part, have the same queen-like opinion of themselves that more attractive women have, and it makes them perpetually angry that reality won't conform to their personal set of standards.
The way it works is that they can have preferences for tall, handsome guys, but guys are wrong if they prefer slim women. "It's so exclusionary!!" I saw this completely bonkers double standard all the time back when I was dating. Echh. Thank fucking god I'm done with that shit.
With that said, being married isn't always perfectly smooth sailing (ha ha) but it beats the shit out of dating.
What with it being March 31st I'd say it's just an April Fool's joke that jumped the gun, but from what little I know of Tinder I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
If they do this with men, will they also make women post a pic so their weight could be determined? Or would that be atrociously shallow and sexist of me?
Slashdot Mirror
When the iPad my wife gave me started to die, I ditched it and bought a Samsung Tab A 10.1" tablet and never looked back.
I absolutely hate auto-playing videos and sound.
Installing NoScript solved this problem 100% for me.

You always seemed pretty reasonable to me, Bill, but that statement really makes me shake my head. Seriously, WTF?

Maybe Google Graveyard will help make my disbelief clear: https://killedbygoogle.com/
I wouldn't rely on those links staying viable for any extended period of time. Maybe they will, but I wouldn't bet a dollar on it.
It's not so you can tell a human a URL they can remember. :rolleyes:
Roll your eyes all you want, the fact is that you never tell someone to go to "http://goo.gl/x/dj4980fhd", do you?
Or maybe "Yah, just go to http://goo.gl/x/m2c_(Qw-sfcn3"
Sure you do. Give me a fucking break- even short URLs aren't memorable.

Thank goodness the police or government would never misuse such a wonderful surveillance tool.
Do you really believe that 99% of prison inmates are Mafia kingpins and druglords?
No, I do not.
The point is that you don't have to be a kingpin to be part of the hustle.

Edge, also known as "the little browser that couldn't".
It wouldn't load half the pages I tried, including Slashdot.
It would load partway, hang, and then say it "encountered a problem" and would have to restart. Did that solve the problem? OF COURSE NOT.
Fucking IE6 was better at loading pages than Edge.
Don't worry, citizens- the new Space Force (powered by Clean Coal®) will save the day and enforce our Space Borders!

How do you create an acronym and then pronounce it wrong?
Maybe he didn't.
Yes, but is 'png' pronounced like 'ping' or like 'pee enn gee' or maybe "puh-naJ"?
Stay where you are; we have a team on the way.
I can attest that yes, in Ye Olde Days of the BBS it was indeed pronounced with a soft "g".
English dictionaries do not define words, they document them.
In all fairness, they do both.
Due to the nature of language though, the pronunciation and definition can be moving targets.

Same here.
Oh I'm sure they exist, but I've pawed through a ton of HTML and the only one I've ever seen is on the wikipedia page.
It's pronounced "gif".

Sounds like a golden opportunity to set up some learning portals/schools for highly specific fields or niche pursuits.
Ah, no. The max temp rating of a raspberry pi is 85C; it would never survive at 140C. It would probably burst into flames.
