This is how "fake news" is generated. Alternative facts parroted until they are more important than the actual real news.... Hillary and DNC actually conspired with the News Media to toss Bernie under a bus and rig an election. BUT RUSSIA HACKED THE ELECTIONS!!!
Yes and it was also Comey's fault for writing a letter to congress about new previously undisclosed emails that were discovered on Huma Abadeen's computer. Comey sabotaged Hillary and handed the election to Trump!
I remember laughing at the 'news' coming from Baghdad Bob, with him having to lie and distort even in the face of overwhelming evidence. Now it seems Baghdad Bob runs our mainstream news organizations.
For middle and high school students, the cost of one textbook can cover about an entire class worth of reading material to be print and bound. The era of keeping and reusing hardcover textbooks year after year is pretty much over, and the kids get to keep their text after they are done with the class. After all, this makes perfect sense, as why would you teach them and then expect that the learning materials be returned? Better that they can keep it for use as a reference as they go forward in school.
Obviously, circumventing the decision MS made to dictate which cpu you can use with their OS is a grave security risk, and will be addressed in the monthly megapatch as soon as possible. From their point of view, moving to the new patching model was a good decision.
Why is it such a taboo to pass on some of those benefits to workers?
Because greed is good, capitalism is best, and if you're pathetic enough to be a peasant then who cares what the quality of your life is. Just work until you can't anymore, then kindly die because then you're just a leech that feels entitled to a retirement and free stuff. Profit is meant to be privatized and costs socialized, not the other way around. If you don't like that, then you should relocate to Venezuela because you obviously hate freedom and America too much to deserve living here.
In fact just considering such a question has left me feeling unclean, so excuse me while I must go to pray at my candlelit altar to Saint Reagan.
We can expect a steady drip of articles such as this, intended to marginalize anyone who does not utterly embrace the technology that surrenders the intimate details of our lives. We're not supposed to care that this data is traded without our control, having ceded it to corporations only interested in maximizing profit. The curated walled gardens that congealed in the ashes of the free and open internet will boldly proclaim such news as trending, making sure as many people as possible realize that they really have nothing to be concerned about.
Maybe. An argument I'd use against geothermal vents being the origin of life on earth is that the environment in those conditions is too static and thus doesn't have the same evolutionary pressures. Its why the deeper you go in the ocean, the more living fossils you find.
I'm not a biochemist, but I would be interested to know if there was a particular quality of the deep sea hydrothermal vents that would have been more favorable for the formation of life in comparison to the rest of the young planet.
I love the idea of a mission to Europa or Enceladus. The best support for life existing there is right here on earth, on geothermal vents deep in the ocean. Life already exists in total darkness and feeds on hydrogen sulfide, under extreme pressure in water that's hotter than its boiling point on the surface.
So the best evidence they have is the MAC address of the wifi adapter of the business laptop that wasn't returned. We all know how immutable that is.
The article seems merely to be parroting the court documents that were filed by Oracle, leading to a one sided story. Just as likely Patel is being being thrown under the bus for someone else' screwup, or perhaps a case of industrial sabotage. Excuse me if I don't assume anything Oracle is alleging as true.
Who cares about security, and MS siphoning up your user activity?
Edge could be ten times better than all the other browsers, assuming you can trust their metrics at all (which you can't). I wouldn't use it, for the same reason I wouldn't eat the world's most delicious sandwich if it happened to be sitting on top of a giant mound of shit.
I would be interested to know if UA uses any of the "reputation management companies" on this list. Do they put in the call to Twitter and other social media platforms, or is it handled directly by corporate?
Either way, its all hands on deck for the corporate shills. They will censor where they can, and are already using character assassination as a tactic.
If anything, you're projecting. Your very act of saying SJWs is just code for shutting people down is itself a way for you to shut people down. You're dismiss people simply over their use of language, over a single term.

The Metropolitan Police Department announced an arrest has been made in a Conspiracy to Commit an Assault offense that occurred in the 500 block of 14th Street, Northwest. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that several individuals made plans to disrupt inauguration activities in an unlawful way.
On Thursday, January 19, 2017, pursuant to a DC Superior Court arrest warrant, 34-year-old Scott Ryan Charney of Northwest, DC, was arrested in the area of 14th and Newton Streets, Northwest, and charged with Conspiracy to Commit an Assault.
This investigation is ongoing. There are other individuals involved in the conspiracy, and they are still outstanding.
This was in connection with the extremist group DisruptJ20, who were caught on tape and exposed plotting to chain DC metro trains and disrupt Trump's inaugural party. Seems like there is a good chance that evidence of this conspiracy will be searched for on these confiscated phones.
"Somehow, we got into a discussion of the responsibility of management. Holden made the point that management's responsibility is to the shareholders – that's the end of it. And I objected. I said, 'I think you're absolutely wrong. Management has a responsibility to its employees, it has a responsibility to its customers, it has a responsibility to the community at large.' And they almost laughed me out of the room."- David Packard
For most monied interests, the choice between between unapologetic greed in maximizing profit, or demonstrating loyalty to the community that harbors them, is not difficult at all. We have to give them a reason to care, else we remain merely a natural resource to be consumed and exploited. Anyone having chronic medical issues and having a for-profit middleman that is an insurance corporation between them and their doctor will quickly understand the shortcomings of a purely capitalist society.
Perhaps the ones doing the debating don't all walk away sharing the same opinion, but that doesn't mean that those observing haven't been swayed. A good intellectual smack down of extremists is useful for those who haven't fully formed an opinion of their own and who may not be well informed on the subject but learn something from the debate.
As for changing the minds of extremists, there's this old expression:
A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.
Comments on this article seemed like a circle jerk of Trump haters, making me think this was editorial upmodding. Well congrats, Trump is the new ultimate scapegoat, or straw man, depending on how you look at it. Direct your ire at him, and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain or what has been happening for the past thirty years.
We've been in a race to the bottom for too long, with a government that has been captured by corporate interests, while a media ensures that we stay distracted and at each other's throats with a strategy of 'four legs good, two legs bad'. We're training our foreign replacements for the jobs not already being outsourced, finding ourselves unable to pay for our kids education, going bankrupt paying healthcare costs, and generally looking forward to working till we drop dead rather than retiring, for a variety of reasons. We've been relegated to being a 'human resource' suitable only for maximum exploitation, and the next generation only has a life of indentured servitude to look forward to, if they are even lucky enough to have a job.
But hey, who cares about that we can pour ourselves another tall sparkling glass of Koolaid while coming up with a new creative euphemisms for the meat puppets putting on a show for us.
The difference between a chicken and a turnip is one is a vertebrate animal that is capable of learned behavior, while the other is a vegetable. You can't raise and dispatch a turnip inhumanely, because it is incapable of consciousness and feeling, a quality that is shared between humans and prey animals. Of course, for the approximately %1 of the human population who are psychopathic and incapable of experiencing empathy, this is not likely a concern. However some people choose to source meat where the animal was both raised humanely and dispatched instantly without pain or suffering, or forego eating it entirely since there cannot be a guarantee how the food was produced.
If there is an acceptable substitute to natural meat then there could be no chance that any animal was treated inhumanely or suffered in its production. Some would value having that choice.
Total utter morons put voters in the position where there was only the choice between the worst possible options, and it is the same morons who continue to blame those who didn't fall in line to vote for a corrupt criminal liar and a party that runs fraudulent primaries. They think that they are rubbing Trump voter's noses in the mess he creates, but really they are just reminding exactly why Trump was elected to begin with.
Tell a big lie often enough, like the saying goes, and the useful idiots will believe it. Instill a sense of guilt into them and provide a path for contrition, and they will follow it. Constantly tell them how to think, even while you're doing something else entirely, and for the true believers the Pavlovian response will win out over any cognitive dissonance while those that dissent can be ostracized, outcast, or eliminated entirely. The end result is always a few people enjoying power, prestige and influence within the group.
Doesn't matter if it is the SJW left or the Holy Roller Right that licks the boots of the ultra wealthy, or the terrorist that detonates themself in a crowded marketplace; it all works the same because it is a strategy that exploits a niche in human behavior which reiterates itself in a myriad of different ways because deep down we're still just tribalistic monkeys.
TL;DR - The ends justify the means, because reasons, and if you disagree with that, you're obviously a terrible person that should never be heard from. Someone in position of moral authority told me so.
Since the topic is evolution of life on earth, if religion was an organism it would have to be of the parasitic variety that modifies host behavior to in order to reproduce itself, much like the kind of fungus that infects ant brains. There are of course many types of strains of this ephemeral brain parasite, but this AC seems to infected with the more malevolent sort that signals false imminent danger along with the behavioral modification required in order to avoid it. This seems to be the first stage in finding new hosts that are weak in cognitive and critical thinking ability and who are ripe for the mental conditioning necessary in order to continue its life cycle.
Evolution, in all its forms, truly is fascinating.

Sounds like fun, but what if the fresh and holistic viewpoint is objectively worse than the old sober one ?
Which would you choose, the red pill or the blue pill?

It seems we've gone full circle from browser hijacks with computer virus scares, to apps with human virus scares.
Gives new meaning to 'the more things change, the more they stay the same'.

Microsoft = Job Security
Only until astroturfing no longer requires a human actor to manage all the sockpuppet accounts. Or did you mean something else?

Meanwhile people cowardly watched, took pictures and made videos.
They didn't want to risk being 'reaccomodated' as well.
