And does anyone know anyone who thought it was a smart thing to do?
Tim Armstrong. I don't remember where I read the article, I believe it was when he announced his resignation, but his goal/hope was for Verizon to spin off Oath into a separate company after the merger of AOL & Yahoo, essentially turning it into a massive media company to compete with others like Google. Verizon didn't though, hence his resignation at the end of the year.
While I hate hangouts with a passion I found the diamond in the rough. I can have two google voice numbers and know exactly where it comes from. So I use the GV app that directly calls my fone for personal and hangouts with VOIP for business:)
I unfollowed everyone on facebook because it's mostly just pointless or political crap that I couldn't care less about or I would piss people off by responding with devil's advocate tendencies. comments on posts are just as bad mixed with horrible filtering of "top comments". Reddit though feels much more useful on specific topics and hell I don't even have a reddit account, but a lot of times if I am looking up a subject or troubleshooting something I usually will click on reddit posts that come up in search first because usually comments are more useful, at least more useful than anything I ever saw on facebook.
For example, I have two options, TW/Spectrum with up to of 300/10mbit, or AT&T with up to of 3/?mbit. Sadly no other smaller ISP offers anything reasonably above 10mbit down.
You're right that a booklet could become destroyed somehow, but the thing is it depends on who's in control. With a booklet, you have a copy, it's in your control, but with a website, you have zero control to any changes (unless you saved a copy). Yes, I agree that booklets more or less are pointless now, as they have been mostly pointless in the first place (most likely needed to properly credit for legal reasons), but it's more of a fan service anyway.
Personally that's why I still prefer to get CDs (usually used tho), because it's interesting to read the booklet (at least once), I can rip the CD into FLAC, and have a backup copy. But to each is their own.
except no, a website is dynamic and can easily disappear or change to a link farm. If you want information about the album, then it should be static, much like the booklets that came with CDs/Tapes/etc. I have plenty of albums from artists that either have no website, or websites that has no information about the album.
A digital version for would be best like PDF or basic images, or even make use of the ID3/ID3v2/etc tags to actually contain that information. Hell, Mp3HD used the id3v2 tag to store the lossless version of the audio, I don't see why we can't use to to create a readable booklet with images and such.
Watch Ajit Pai use that as enough excuse to "give the people what they want" and destroy net neutrality, regardless if it only accounts for 10% of the posts.
Who am I kidding, he doesn't care to explain himself...
But then what will become of my 19 year old AIM account? Sure I have no one to talk to now, but it's currently my oldest account that I enjoy keeping for nostalgic purposes:(
10 million insiders does not equal actual testers. This is like the whole "number of registered users vs number of active users" that sites play. For example, i'm an insider because I was playing with windows 10 before it came out (10240). Once it reached RTM I refused to continue using insider builds because using windows 10 normally already has enough issues as it is.
eventually they will stop fighting each other, become self-aware, and realize they could change our views by working other.. the revolution will be wikipedia'd
Sadly a lot of people don't understand that you should take everything you read/hear/watch with a grain of salt, they tend to focus on news that fits their own opinion on things and disregard any counter report or such.

User: "Help! My router is infected with vicious malware" Support: "Have you tried turning it off and then on again?"
fun fact, not everyone uses Google to manage their email
Give that roughly 50% of emails is spam (Sept 2017), I hardly say "problem long solved"
Well. Then. Have a nap. Then fire ze missiles!
I think you mean launchtime
i'd hope russians tamper with our vodka, I love russian vodka
haha dammit... my fail there
if you consider facebook as spam, when why even have an account (or have messages going to your email)? Fomo?
Retarded enough to think a third of the planet's population is 2 million... unless you are speaking from the late 90s.
Well I hope they don't cut the AIM team (er... person) because they are doing a stellar job and I see it becoming the next facebook messenger! /s

Just get a VPN.

The best part about this new design is the dark theme, I hope other sites follow, because some sites ( /. included) it's like staring at a light bulb.
I think it's reached that point when we have a smart toilet that can show us our statistics online and have our data mined.
Oh wait... maybe that ship has sailed... http://investmentwatchblog.com...
it's a shame it's not really maturing in terms of security...
