  2. You misunderstand. If ME is disabled, so is SOL. They are finding it active already. "Microsoft can't say if these state-sponsored hackers found a secret way to enable this feature on infected hosts, or they just found it active and decided to use it."

    The simplest answer is that it detected modified hardware and shut down as a precaution. I think this is reasonable.

    Are you intentionally misinformed? No, he wasn't allowed to have communications with Russia when he did, and he wasn't allowed to lie about it. By saying this is no big deal, outs you as a shill. You are pretty pathetic.

    I know you are being obtuse for the sake of argument, but I'm interested in this time machine to be used to backdate AND distribute it when it was originally.

    From what time in history do you refer to that Russia doesn't have blood on their hands? Hint, they killed more in ww2 than the nukes in Japan by the Americans.

    Sanctions, and don't give them back their US spying headquarters for nothing in return. And subsidize vodka and oil from everywhere else but Russia.

  13. This was native to BB10 back 4.5 years ago. It makes the phone usable out of the box without having to install apps. When my sister in law asked for my help downloading meditation mp3's on her iPhone, I was floored how that wasn't possible and needed an app and a fuckload of hassle. Wasted 30+ minutes and the app store was a fucking nightmare, reprompting to login to Apple over and over.

    "Often"? Name one. Internet cafés died out 10 years ago. When working in Palm springs, we had to pay $100 for 10GB, but that was data. Boingo is like $10 a month. We have free hotspots in every restaurant in my area in Canada. Who's paying for WiFi?

    Why do assholes like you that know why people use devices like this have to keep saying this shit? You're old enough to know what and why people use this, but keep posing it like we just allowed to be raped. I don't say top secret shit at home, I leave that at work. I enjoy hands free voice searching and hands free home automation. I really don't give a shit if they know the weather around me or that I wanted to know Dana Delaney's age (she is fucking smoking for 61, btw). Posts like these just make you look paranoid and no one gives a shit what you say.

  23. Sick days always abused on Hundreds of Walmart Employees Say They've Been Punished For Taking Sick Days (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Growing up, in school, I know teachers got x amount of sick days per year. Sure, they'd take them, but I recall an awful amount of times when they work sick and other times sick on a Friday without symptoms the day before. They could also bank them for years and retire earlier. My sister in law works at a hospital and gets so many sick days a year. She takes them like vacation days so she has to work when actually sick. It's fucking annoying. I do not support rolling over unused sick days. It would be better to have an exception program for the odd extended problem like broken bones, surgery, chicken pox, etc.
