Vendor apps are a little trickier but for Windows 10 garbage out of the box, consider the following: https://gist.github.com/alirob...
It requires a little effort to get exactly what you want but it's a great powershell script. You might also consider installing and tweaking ClassicShell.
While police officers would be a good start, I'd wait for the Secret Service to switch over. I look forward to the President putting his money where his mouth is.
When it passes, we'll have major crack downs on straw purchases for 30 minute tactical assault ghost phones with things that go up. Not exactly surprised this is coming out of San Francisco.
I sincerely hope that Microsoft pushes an immediate revocation of the certificate and an updated removal kit that removes Superfish altogether over Windows update.
You might be shocked to find out, despite the stereotype, that a large number of nerds are interested in professional sports as well. When an important figure in technology buys a sports team, it is a newsworthy item. Otherwise, feel free to ignore stories that you personally don't find interesting going forward.
I too have the Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB which is the second generation of these Seagate drives (the article being about the new third generation which teams 8GB NAND with 5400RPM drives while these were 8GB NAND with 7200RPM). My experience was apparently very different from yours. In fact, I was so impressed by the performance of it in my laptop, I bought a second drive for an aging desktop to use as an HTPC when it came up on sale.
Few people who are interested in these drives expect them to be stand-in replacements for true SSDs but the performance increase over a standard rotational drive can be huge while the cost difference is marginal. Sure SSD prices are dropping but seriously, how much did you pay for the Samsung 750 GB SSD? Right now, most SSDs in this storage range are still typically in the neighborhood of $800-$1000 while this particular drive has been somewhere in the neighborhood of $110-$150 for the last year or so. Of course there's going to be a performance difference. But if the bulk of the os/applications that you work with can live in the 8GB provided (which is true for most folks), these can be a godsend at this price point. On the other hand, if you work with large amounts of data in an inconsistent fashion, you're unlikely to see the benefits.
I do question Seagate's determination that 8GB "ought to be enough for anybody" but it does hit a sweet-spot for most people at this time (definitely not future-facing). My biggest beef was that we were promised NAND-based write caching in a firmware update (supposedly in early 2012!) with this drive that was never delivered and that alone may be enough to stop me from buying Seagate in the future. This write caching has been implemented on this new generation and it will be interesting to see the real-world performance (especially given the 5400RPM rotational backing it).
Killing 3 people and maiming 234 using explosives and shrapnel counts as mass destruction in my book. Thanks for asking, though.
Then charge him with three counts of murder and 234 counts of attempted murder. Does it really matter that this was done with explosives? Would you feel better if he stabbed 237 people to the same effect?
True. Researchers (or more correctly, organizations that hire researchers) will just try to get funding in every other state first (where they can have their cake and eat it too) and then come to California. If they find it elsewhere, they will leave. Eventually, the type of research that will be done in CA will be self-selected in that there were no issues with open access to begin with. Perhaps this is acceptable, I don't know.

Makes sense.
>why China can do this and not California
Because they're a dictatorship who can proclaim broad life-changing decrees and their citizens have no way to vote them out.
China or California?
Ubuntu MATE is an amazing release. Fast, capable, easy on resources, and it gets out of the way.
Mark, if you really want to ruffle some feathers, go with the real successor to Gnome 2. You had it right the first time.

Also, traditionally Service Packs have included previously unreleased fixes/features and are fully regression tested.

Yup, people make mistakes. News at 11:00.
It's not the mistakes that bother me. It's the people that feel it necessary to always use the force of law to "correct" them.
WTF is a boffin?
No one really knows but many of them died to bring us this information.

Historically, our right to bear arms has mostly been meant as a deterrent to keep self-righteous, patronizing Europeans out of our business.
When was the last foreign ground invasion of the US again? And the last European?
Amazon, not to be outdone by Apple's genius marketing, has shipped a 50 lb. bag of fertilizer to everyone with an Amazon Prime account!
Best of all, it's totally free and slightly less pungent than U2's latest offering!

Everybody knows that since it is Microsoft software, you should wait for threepointonedrive.

Once again, the conservative, funyun and diet coke-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.
Yep, there's no problem that can't be solved with DRM.

Hardly. While a bill like this makes perfect sense at the national level, all this does is encourage moving even more high quality jobs out of state.
