Actually, it's a completely optional daemon that runs on top of Linux to support Windows clients from Linux or let Linux be a client for Windows drive sharing. It's not part of the OS, it's not mandatory to run with the OS, it's not related to the running of an all-Linux network, and it's based on specifications from the Windows folks.
I was intending to address you as "Mr. Magnificent" and refer to you as "The Wondrous Johan Magnificent, Esquire" to others, but have it your way, sire.
It's almost as if both instructors and students prefer to be addressed in ways which make them comfortable and feel they deserve that basic level of respect.
They didn't say you couldn't carry on the batteries. So check the laptop and carry one the batter? Maybe it's an anti-Apple play for them not playing ball on backdooring phones.;-)
How is it unintended? The TSA is part of the government. When the government makes it easier to steal your laptop then steals your laptop it's hard to call that unintended.
Thanks for the recap of the first week of my high school macroeconomics class.
The part you've got wrong-way round, though, is that the value isn't in the difficulty to make it. That's the cost base. The value is in what it'll do for the purchaser. When the value is below the cost to produce, demand falls rapidly.
Indeed. A mile-tall pile of rubbish would be a rare sight and something difficult to construct, but I don't think anyone's clamoring for it in their front lawn.
Oil is also power. Directly, it's chemical energy waiting to be tapped to physically move things. Indirectly, those who control the oil control whole countries, their own or those of others. See the Arabian peninsula.
Public toll roads often already do charge more for trucks or charge per axle.
Private roads needn't be toll roads. Toll roads needn't be private roads. Charging differently per vehicle type already happens.
Another congestion-relieving measure is high occupancy vehicle lanes, which differentiate again. In fact, in some places (like Houston), you can drive in certain HOV lanes as a single occupant if you pay a toll (or conversely use the toll lanes for free in a HOV during prime commuting hours).
Certain cities do already charge congestion fees to vehicles entering certain areas. Those charges often vary by vehicle type. This includes public roadways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... is but one example.
So no, me "popping in" to point out that the posts in the thread are comingling and conflating issues is not at all irrelevant.
Your ad absurdum argument that private roads or toll roads means the street in front of your house will be profit gouging you into a prison lot is not a very strong point.
The exact words of the post to which I directly replied were "The free market competition amongst all of the different roads connecting directly to your driveway will ensure that you can always afford to leave your house." which has to do with tolls only in passing. My point is that private roads aren't always tolled. They're not always open for public traffic, either.
Public roads aren't always toll-free, either. Have you ever been on the interstate system around Chicago? Tolls. On tax-supported roads.
Delivery trucks don't cause congestion anyway. If three people in my neighborhood order packages, one truck delivering the three is fewer vehicles on the road than the three of us taking individual cars to individual stores or even to the same post office for pickup. UPS, FedEx, and USPS are like mass transit for goods. They ease congestion.
If the streets are not designed for the vehicles licensed to operate on them, that's a design issue. It's not a usage issue. Put designated package delivery parking zones where they're needed, and the problem of putting the hazard flashers on in the lane of traffic goes away.
Who paid for the road and the signage for that zone is really a different and separate matter. The socialists and libertarians should both take a moment to agree on a solution here before bitching about who grabs the check.
So let's complain about mass package transit and send individual people in individual cars from their driveways to the parking lots of various stores? It seems your argument if accepted actually proves the article is exactly wrong.
The trick here is the road belongs to the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is free to hire different companies to come in and do the repair and upgrade work. My HOA has private security patrols in addition to city police. We have our own private park in addition to using city parks. We have our own deed restrictions that are more strict than the city's zoning laws (but aren't crazy like some HOAs). We don't own our streets, but if we did we'd just up the HOA fees marginally to cover that.
My parents live in a rural area, 7 miles outside of town in either direction. The larger town is only about 16,000 people. Their immediate road is off of a county road. It's owned by the landowners along the road. They pay different companies for maintenance and improvements by taking bids and selecting contractors. The county road is actually maintained mostly by a full-time county road crew. The towns in either direction, though, mostly have their streets maintained and improved by private road construction contractors. The main difference is the city government takes the bids and awards the contracts. All of that connects to state highways, US highways, Interstate highways, and other county and private roads and then to city streets in other cities, some of which maintain their own roads and some of which contract out the work.
A subdivision or neighborhood owning property cooperatively is nothing new, odd, or unmanageable. Many apartment buildings in fact are owned as condominiums or cooperatives even in places as dense as New York.
Ello? It's rebranding itself as a place to follow visual artists. It's not bad as a photography, painting, drawing, and digital graphics gallery. It was never very useful as a general social network.
One slip-up in board meetings or keeping minutes, or one mistake in your banking, and someone suing a single-owner S-Corp will strip you bare of the corporation and take all your personal assets anyway. It's just another step.
It's good to not need a safety net, but it's nice to have one when you do need it. It's the same logic many gun owners use, "better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." I find the logic consistent and persuasive in both cases.
The scientist says we may be able to test it and make calculations about it. What, then, is decidedly non-falsifiable. The whole summary sounds much like a scientist is upset that a philosopher has made a potentially testable hypothesis without the intent to actually help test it.
Even if I get absolutely everything working up front, the first thing to go wrong on a "made for Windows" laptop is going to be on me to figure out and fix rather than getting Dell to do it for me. If it's supported with Ubuntu, it's supported.

Or a lingua brittanica. ;-)
Knowing where and how to procure those resources is data.
I'm pretty sure it's the data about how to corner the printer ink market.

When I was a sole proprietor in Illinois I was never forced to pay unemployment insurance.

Nah. It'd have to have had some impact to be the cause of anything.
