I bought a few packs of USB-C male and female connectors from China (to use for a non-USB application) and they were really junk. Looked like USB-C but the tolerances were terrible. Too soon for competitive quality forces to have kicked in, I suppose, but they didn't just make these bad connectors to annoy me - they must be out there in the wild too.
And US government cannot afford that risk, thus no justice for you, Snowden.
There can't be justice, broadly, until the Espionage Act is repealed. The US managed to survive without it up until 1917, and the very worst abuses of said government are protected by it.
Of course the Espionage Act cannot be repealed without imperiling those in power and their beneficiaries. So, even though it will lead to such a untenable situation that they will eventually lose their power, rapidly, the current system has no mechanism, no relief valve, to allow the situation to wind down gently.
That's too bad. Madison did his best - Jefferson knew it couldn't be good enough.

It's not that simple. Overnight there will be no sync services, no updates, no app stores - Google and Apple both know that if they cave to the UK they lose the rest of the world like dominos - they cannot afford to keep the UK business.
It's not like every user will be buying a Windows phone over that year - in fact Google and Apple would be stupid to announce non-appeasement ahead of time and cede the business to MS. Instead there will be millions of people supremely pissed off at the Parliament when the day comes. Don't be there on November fifth. Don't take away the circuses if you value your power.

I got one back when a 486/25 was the very best a paper route income could buy (about three grand, as I recall). The IBM and Compaq's were 100 and 50% higher, at the time. The Gateway came with a big 330MB ESDI drive and a Targa true-color VGA card. Nice mobo, sixteen slots, as I recall.
I never bought another one, but in this timeframe they were nice, well-priced machines.

It's funny how you seem to dismiss markets and then highlight megalo-corps, which could never exist in a free market, as evidence of how wrong market proponents are (corporations are fundamentally government charters to not face liability for unethical actions; partnerships behave much, much better - as evidenced by the investment banks).
There are three basic ways humans control other humans - religions, governments, and markets. Only the last one is based on peace and reason.
Religions as a method became obsolete once science showed a better way; governments as currently constituted are structured to deal with a society based upon horse-drawn carriages and letters carried by messengers. Obsolescence is already here - they're just riding on momentum at this point (cf. TFA).
My favorite was when I sent their support a pcap showing which one of their servers was sending RST instead of serving my client's website (their choice...) and they dismissed it because 'there's nothing wrong with our servers'.
It's not like there's nobody cheaper or better - such an amazing testament to the power of advertising.
And now Amazon will learn the lesson that attempts to impose control only create chaos and harm. It's a simple and ancient axiom and one the shareholders deserve to have observed.
Android's UI is OK for small screens, but inefficient for typical computer work (compare tabs in ChromeOS to tabs in Android).
Android needs to gain a desktop UI mode, maybe in 7.0, and the devil is in all the details of making that coexist smoothly with the phone mode. The key bit here will be that you won't necessarily need a Chromebook - you'll be able to buy a Chromecast-like dongle to hook a KVM setup to and use your phone in Desktop Mode (unless you want to buy all-new wireless KVM peripherals). 2017 smartphones will have more than enough CPU and memory; heck, maybe MicroSD will make a comeback in reasonable devices once the "phone" becomes most people's sole computing device.
The parent post should be considered a NOOP. There's plenty of accurate information available about the different modes and hybrid modes that hypervisors use these days, but reading the above will just make you stupid.
it's OK - they had to wait until Tuesday to collectively mock all the people who live in Alabama. Now that they've realized that a junkyard owner there knows more about space history than they do, they can take the whole day Friday to reflect on how much the experience has caused them to grow as individuals.
You get to go to a 12-week "coding bootcamp" and write games. No bullshit wastes-of-time like learning how to write an efficient double-buffering routine. Just the exciting parts (and then you get to work 90-hour weeks).
Lightbot is the phone app version of this. My boy loves it - it's roughly LOGO for 2015, and he's working on subroutines that call other subroutines now. Except he doesn't know that (we did basic IO and loops, verbally with pseudocode, on a long car ride prior to getting Lightbot). It's more fun than the VIC-20 assembly that was my only option at his age.

right, but it's because they're getting kickbacks from the dealers. No serious person considers politicians to be virtuous economic geniuses who know how to run businesses better than everybody else.
I live on a hill that gets bad snow and ice. If I could go to "AWD World" and try all the manufactuers' vehicles there that can handle it, that would literally save me a week of time driving all over the state to various "dealers". Don't forget about the 'unseen' costs or the endless creatively of the market.

He is, but he won't come forward until he's retired off-world, so ineligible for any Nobel-type awards.

That number could multiply significantly if we get a resistant superbug. No good person supports such an deadly system.
just admit your mistake and move on. Nobody thought you were stupid until you went after somebody who was trying to help you. Beware the ego.

Snowden refused to follow the procedures established by congress to deal with these things.
Because they're ineffective. Ask Jeffrey Sterling, Bill Binnie, or John Kiriakou how well that works.
He's a traitor, not a whistleblower.
He's a traitor to the government - he's a patriot to the People. Choose wisely.
And US government cannot afford that risk, thus no justice for you, Snowden.

This gives Apple and Google the power to decide whether or not there will be a revolt in the UK.
I'm not sure the politicians have thought this one through all the way. But, good, from a meritocracy perspective.
