This is just another example of greedy, rent-seeking behavior, trying to force users to pony up cash on a monthly basis forever and ever and ever...heaven forbid you ever get to actually own anything ever again.
I work in murdering people, and have paid for "executions" many times. The most effective executions are ones not marked as executions. I don't see any problem with this, it's way more common than you think.
Whilst in some controversial areas this may be true, in the corners of Wikipedia that are of interest to specialists in proper subjects (i.e. not media studies;) we see some very good work. Don't discourage right use because of some abuse.
Most of Wikipedia is fine, but the main management and many of the in-house editors are unquestionably a group of power-mad weenies who are trying to fertilize their own egos with the tiny bit of authority they have.
Latching on to one version and sticking your head deep up the ass, while shouting lalalalala... Seriously, just fucking upgrade to a decent modern OS. Move to a new Linux distro, or buy a new Mac, or upgrade to Windows 10.
Seriously, just mind your own fucking business and let me upgrade or not, as I please. I'm not preventing anyone from upgrading, be my guest, feel free to upgrade all you want, you gold-plated asshole.
What I have works well for me and I see no reason to suck Microsoft's dick any harder than I already am. Sorry if that offends your delicate sensibilities. You're welcome to deep-throat Steve Ballmer if you want to, I don't care.
But you'll just have to excuse me for not doing what you think is right for everyone else in the universe. And by "have to", that's exactly what I mean, you ignorant fucktard.
Exactly...if we spent all of our time trying to comply with every Federal regulation and law, we'd never have time to set foot outside our own homes.
This is just another batch of far-reaching laws that will be totally ignored...until they need to screw over someone in particular that they can't get by any other means. Then suddenly, "Oh look, you've violated Firmware Integrity Law #25342.11z, that'll be $10,000 and 5 years in jail."
I'm so shocked that an industry with a decades-long record of shady, unethical, and downright illegal business practices has been found to be engaging in shady, unethical, and downright illegal business practices! Who could have seen that coming??
It ain't broke, don't fix it. I've worked with Win7 for a bit, and have to admit it works, and allows you to get what you want to do, done.
Exactly.
What I've got (Win 7) is working and working well for what I need to do on a daily basis. Win 7 is actually a fairly decent desktop environment (again, for me, your mileage may vary). Honestly, I'd run it for the next decade if I could but my guess is that drivers for any new gear will be unavailable for Win 7 and that will force me to switch.
To be frank, I'm not eager to switch to Linux. I use it on all my servers to run my websites (about 120 sites) but I've got almost no experience with Linux on the desktop as an everyday OS.
I know there's going to be a learning curve and I'm not looking forward to it, but I'll go that route to avoid Windows 10. That's how much I dislike Windows 10. (And for what it's worth, Linux has been a rock-solid performer on all of my servers for the last 10 years.)
Where is the ratio of males to females 1:3? Have you already passed into heaven?
Apparently the Mormon community is nearly at that level, and young Mormon men are playing at it like kids in a candy store. There was an article about this that was kind of interesting: http://time.com/dateonomics/
"there are now 150 Mormon women for every 100 Mormon men in the state of Utah—a 50 percent oversupply of women"
Unfortunately, they're Mormon women....so dating them is likely to be an exercise in frustration for any normal man.
Removing that thimble of water from that ocean is going to make a HUGE difference. Oh wait, no it won't.
Wikipedia has become another little internet fiefdom run by a bunch of backstabbing assholes who use their basement-dwelling power to rule capriciously and for personal gain.
I don't give a damn if it grabbed 50% of whatever bullshit metric they claim to be measuring. Win 7 works for me and I'll probably use it until I'm literally forced to upgrade (i.e. lack of drivers, etc).
This has already been done by numerous places. One that I've found especially good for stopping bots from using signup forms is http://botscout.com./ The free daily limits are a little low but for us they're very, very effective. Using them dropped our bogus signups from 200/day to about 1 or 2 per day, sometimes zero.
If I read this right, it appears that his theft was the impetus for Ulbricht trying to hire a hit to kill someone.
I'm not sure if there's some follow-on charge that could be applied there, but it almost seems like there should be because if Bridges hadn't stolen the bitcoin, Ulbricht wouldn't have wanted to kill someone for the theft.
rather than offer a reliable download and buffer model, so this might be good news in the long run. I live in Seattle, and I don't know anyone with a connection fast enough to stream Netflix.
I live north of Seattle about ~10 miles and we can stream Netflix without any problem. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever had an issue with streaming it. We're using Frontier, so that may be a factor. Their speed and reliability/uptime have been pretty good so far.
(We just got power back after 3 days, so watching Netflix isn't high on my list of things to do right now.)

What they'd like is for you have to pay for music by the note, for literature by the word, and pay every time you even glance at an image they own.
Hell, what they want is if you even dare to remember a few notes and hum them to yourself, you'd have to pay them.

A brick & mortar store selling overpriced shit that you can get online without leaving the house, what could go wrong?

Indeed...HTML is not programming by any stretch of the imagination. That word definitely does not mean what she thinks it means.

Ha ha, the joke is on them- I don't even have a dog!

Sounds like utter bullshit to me.

This 5% should be seen as a failure not a success.
Agreed. A 5% adoption rate is nothing to brag about. Most companies would go out of business with numbers like that.
I don't give a damn if it grabbed 50% of whatever bullshit metric they claim to be measuring. Win 7 works for me and I'll probably use it until I'm literally forced to upgrade (i.e. lack of drivers, etc).
And then I'll switch to Linux.
And this is another reason that I find a "dumb" phone fits my needs. Good luck installing malware on the dinosaur-era flip-phone I use.

Spammers mint, use, and then abandon email addresses so quickly that a list of (outdated) addresses wouldn't be of much use to most people.

A few more "improvements" like this and I'll abandon Netflix.
And by "improvements" I mean fucking it up, adding commercials, and making a hash out of what there is to watch.
Good job, guys, I knew you could fuck it up if you tried hard enough.
Oliver Sacks was truly one-of-a-kind, and the world is a poorer place without him in it. :(
Is it April 1st already or has systemd actually started assimilating all of the functionality of the Linux kernel??
