This is why I now vote 3rd party, I'm not voting for the Democrats because they're progressive liars, and I certainly won't vote for Republican "conservative"/regressive liars.
Okay within the term "Asian" there are subcategories: India, Pakistan Bangladesh (passably Nepal) are considered South Asian,
East Asian is considered to be China, Japan and Korea.
South East Asian: are Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, etc.
At least he didn't call them Orientals
Not a single nvidia chip will enter my house either. AMD will get my money from this onwards. Only way to stop this spyware madness is to vote by wallet.
Until AMD realizes how much money they're missing out of. Then wait for AMD to announce their version of "customer experience" or whatever

Rich people are often extremely freaky. It doesn't take a conspiracist to point that out. I'm not going to vote these kind of freakitude back into power.
And I thought this whole thing was a typo, they really meant "Spirited cooking"
Is having a female character really "pushing diversity"? Aside from anything else they have had a female captain (Janeway) and female fist officer (T'Pol) before anyway, so it's not even new.
What could be interesting is to see if they mention the fact that apparently by Kirk's time there were no female captains and little opportunity to become one. In the episode Turnabout Intruder it's stated that women can't become captains for some unspecified reason. Star Trek Continues tackled the issue in its most recent episode, but it would be interesting to see if they mention it here.
*pushes up nerd glasses*
Actually Deep-Space 9 had a female officer first: Kira Nerys, Also the 3rd officer was also female: Jadzia Dax (although technically it was the symbiont Dax, not it's host but I digress.)
Agreed OP. We actually had the same thing happen to us WAY back in the day when I was going to school and working for Gamestop part time.
Story time kids:
They would force employees to push gaming mag subscriptions onto customers and the quota was 7 per week. Now nobody wanted this crap. Customers wanted to come in to buy some games, and maybe talk shop. Subscribe to something that requires a credit card tho? OH HELL NO. Also, half of them weren't even old enough to have a card in the first place, but our DM would literally threaten the manager to fire him, who would threaten his employees to fire us if we didn't produce at least 1 subscription per day per week. So... in desperate times we as a collective of employees (who were actually much closer among retail stores than you'd think) all got together with a fiendish plan to game the system. We took pre-paid visa cards and threw 10 bucks on them and spent most of it on our lunch break. With the few pennies left on the card we'd then subscribe customers for them, giving them a subscription they couldn't be billed for and blowing our quotas out of the water. At first corporate was elated so many stores were suddenly producing a BOOM of subscriptions but like all good things it didn't last. Eventually the magazine publishers caught on, and everything started rolling downhill until literally 5 stores worth of employees and management were all fired and replaced within a month. I just barely escaped the shit-storm by hearing about the crack-down rumors and quitting ahead of time.
Ah greed and corporate fuckwittery. Good times... sad times.
Reminds me when I worked for CompUSA and we had to sign people up for "Free" AOL trials except we had to get the customers credit card information. We found that we could pad our numbers by signing up ourselves up and cancel after the free trial was over after a month or so.
Also My sales manager got himself fired by ringing people up that didn't buy extended warranties under a different department.
Child porn is certainly illegal, and that's what they use these dogs to look for, with a warrant as well.
There was an older article on slashdot about this same subject, the dogs can smell the flash, drives not the how the individual bits are arranged.
Also I wonder how they can tell if if they are flash drives, and not just some other random integrated circuit with chips...

If I could mod all of you down for devolving this discussion to petty political bickering I would, now get off my lawn.

Not that we should ban telemetry outright, but in the very least, we should know what data is being reported.
That's just crazy talk

That doesn't always work for me, idk its probably just me
I misread this as the Microsoft "Brand" is dead, nevermind
If it waits to play until the entire video is "cached', then it's no longer truly streaming...
There's a point there where the content providers get itchy about how the content is being delivered... and insist on new licensing terms.
I was just going to say this

If I recall you can list it along with your relationship and employment status, I haven't logged into Facebook in like I year so I could be wrong.
