No doubt someone is up for execution for this embarrassing string of events. Problem is, the engineer(s) on the butcher block was/were probably their best. Un will wind up whittling down his rocket scientists to nothing.
It's nice to have the option. It's a social thing. Also, my 50" UHD television still doesn't compare to a theatre experience. Granted, I go to the movies rarely, and I do appreciate being able to sit in the comfort of my home most of the time, but for certain modern action films - Avengers, Star Wars, Hobbit, etc. ya can't beat the theatre experience. At least, not without dropping fairly serious money for your gear.
Indeed. As Mike Rowe has pointed out, there is a shortage of good skilled trade workers out there now: plumbers, electricians, carpenters, sheet metal workers, etc.. and everything is geared towards STEM now. The trades pay pretty well, they'll probably never become obsolete, and someone has to be able to do that stuff.
The current effort is just an example of the mass stupidity of the CIA and NSA in releasing weapons that can be readily discovered post use, and easily edited and copied and infinite number of times. Stupid is as stupid does. Those morons keep playing computer wars and the rest of us will end up with the consequences of the ultimate weapon in digital wars, electro magnetic pulses. That is the guaranteed inevitable result of the current stupid escalation.
Easily edited and copied? Not necessarily easily. And all major nations are engaged in active cyberwarfare and research.
To add to this, the proper name of the sun is "Sol", not "Sun". (though both terms original from ancient gods, Norse Sunne and Roman Sol).
Interestingly, no one ever refers to it as Helios, though helio is used as a prefix or suffix to describe attributes relative to the sun : heliotropic, heliocentric, perihelion, etc..

I hate people who overuse the term hate to mean "something I don't agree with" and hater to mean "someone who disagrees with me for any reason whatsoever".
It all depends on the words and their context. That's the tricky thing. Words can just express an opinion, or, they can incite. That's why though they're mere words, you're not legally allowed to yell fire in a movie theatre (unless there is one), or threaten people with violence or assassination, or outright lie about them (defamation of character). Other than that though, it should all be free speech.
Often this "hate speech" is just people expressing their personal opinion with no real teeth or intent behind it. Let's see how lopsided this gets. I'm sure certain groups will labeled as haters disproportionately to others, because it's damn near impossible to eliminate bias.
That's the truth. Well, sort of. I just signed up with them yesterday, I finally had enough of my crappy DSL line. I couldn't stream HD, and the Internet sometimes had the response time of a slug on quaaludes, so now instead of being treated like crap by Verizon I get to be treated like crap by Comcast; but at least I'll have some decent bandwidth.
Exactly, that would be middle-aged. At 53 (nearly 54) I do not look or feel "elderly". Oh well..no point in getting butthurt over it though, it was just for ease of semantics I suppose.
I guess it's a Win Professional thing then..? Perhaps MS justifies this by assuming the workstation is used for business purposes, and thus the upgrade is more "critical" or "secure" (bwhahaa) somehow..?
This is true, there have always been wars. My intent was not to say, "ermagerd, muslims! Tehy're all evil!" but simply to mitigate the fallacy that Islam is really peaceful, and that muslims have been nothing but benevolent throughout their history, except when attacked by crusaders. They're no more a religion of peace than christianity or judaism are. In general, Monotheistic religions aren't peaceful, because they're always worshiping the "one true god" and all other religions are thus the enemy.
Non-sequitur. Logical Fallacy. Who said anything about Christianity? Nobody was comparing them. This is a moron's argument. "..but Christianity!"
Fine, if you want to compare, use a relevant time frame at least. Christianity has it's share of shit but hasn't done anything on the scale of ISIS, Al Nusra, Boko Haram, Al Qeada, Al Shabaab, and the Taliban in hundreds of years.
I stated a fact. You can start educating yourself by reading about the Ottoman Empire, the Mamluks, and the Moors. Learn about their expansion and conquests over the middle east and beyond, into Persia and India, as well as into Africa and up the Iberian Peninsula. Sticking your head in the sand about it, or citing another group, does nothing, changes nothing.

Stop oppressing me with your white male privilege.

"..and this is how the zombie apocalypse starts."
Somehow.
I dunno; someone's gotta post it.
I know, I was just tagging on to the chain. :)

Not many people know this, but it's "Fred".
IPX ?! What does your "lawn" consist of, ferns from the Paleozoic? - because grasses hadn't evolved yet.
The AP obviously lacks on-staff technical expertise, researchers or fact checkers, otherwise they would have caught this sooner.
Well, it is the AP. They're more concerned presently with being politically correct than technically correct.

I did not have sex with those caps.
Erotic Cakes is an awesome CD though.

I'm not sure you really looked into Islamic history. It's rife with War and slavery, and not just the Crusades.
