I understand that with the exception of major-life events (e.g. weddings), good-old-fashioned written invitations have largely gone the way of the dodo, but most parties I've gone to have been word-of-mouth invitations. Either Sunde is overestimating his sans-Facebook popularity or he needs to reassess the (and possibly revert to the pre-Facebook-era) definition of "friend." Last I checked, it means something other than "acquaintance."
Out of curiosity, what functionality is missing due to lack of 3rd party programs (oops, I mean "apps"?) I have GPS (both HERE and Waze), Pandora, FM radio (which oddly is unavailable on Apple without buying extra hardware....), email, browsing, and banking programs. Skype works well and there are enough games to help pass the time. Specific games are missing, yes, but it's anyone really buying a $600 define to primarily play a specific $5 game?
Please, the nenefits if vinyl are the catalog backlog of music not yet digitized as well as the (sometimes) better attention suring mastering. Personally, I'll never buy a Blue Notes pressing if Analogue Productions also releases their own version of the same album.
F-150's not a good comparison. There are a wide range of configurations. You can get a new F-150 for sub $25k or you can spec them out up into the $60k+ range.
For many of them, the F150 is just as likely to be a tool as it is a means of personal transportation. It's not unheard of for a family farmer to have $1MM worth of land, property, and equipment....
There are no programs for text editing, Skype, Office etc. installed and that prevents normal use,
So if there aren't any text editors or office suites, how did they write a letter and publish the PDF?
The lack of user permissions makes them of limited use.
Lack of user permissions, as in the IT department locks down organization's computers, just like most other places? Who has a la carte access to their desktop/laptop computers in a professional environment?
And while Excel works for those areas which you explain, it is hardly the right tool for that job either, just convenient. Get a real SQL reporting tool
The best camera is the one you have with you. Sometimes, the same concept applies to other tools.
So you're asking us how to prove it's public domain so you can make money with it? That ofcourse is ridiculous.. If it's public domain, you shouldn't be able to make money off it by republishing it on youtube you lame bastard...
You mean to tell me that all those publishers who are printing copies of Tom Sawyer and Moby Dick are doing so out of their own, big hearts? How kind of them!
As someone on the brink (I'm either a millenial or not depending on what dipshit armchair sociologist is spewing the buzzword)...
Voicemail, I get. It's bullshit. If you call me and I don't answer, I'll call back. Without listening to your voicemail. Because I'm going to call you back. Doing voicemail would be a waste of time for everyone involved.
And what happens when that person is unavailable when you call them?
Free health care: passing doctors money under the table to get them to work on you.
And how much of the Greek economy lives "under the table?" The greater the relative size of a black-market economy is to that of the whole economy, the greater the incentive to perpetuate the black-market economy and destroy any public benefits funded via taxation. See: tragedy of the commons
I don't follow football a lot, but my understanding is that players on the offensive line are a lot less susceptible to this problem. They don't tend to tack other players or collide at high speeds. They're almost right next to the opposing player who needs to be stopped and usually just end up grappling with this person. Contrast this with other positions where the player needs to tackle someone or ends up getting tackled a lot.
Players on the front lines have incredibly high rates of TBI because one of the common methods used by both the O and D lines is to whack the opposing player in the head to disorient them. TBI is greatly influenced by the frequent whacks to the head as well as using one's own head as a weapon - one doesn't need to be knocked out to have a concussion or subject to TBI.
What about the police force-grabbing all surveillance recordings that happen to have a public space visible? This is no different than the police demanding location information from the phone companies.
But if they can prove it, that goes against claims by many in the state and oil industry. The oil industry would likely try to hound/silence/sue the insurance company.
Not necessarily. Industries and governments are famous for two-faced policies.
If the insurance company says that they were manmade, the government can say, "No, they weren't, but this is a civil matter and we can't interfere." And nothing will happen. Worst case, it will be tied up in courts for the next 20 years. By then, those people currently in charge will have made a ton of money and be retired somewhere outside the US.
It's kind of like the music industry claiming that a 30-second ringtone is enough the song that consumers must pay royalties while, at the same time, claiming that they weren't so they didn't have to pay the artists royalties.
And then there's a giant class-action lawsuit where the insurance and oil companies are held jointly & severally liable. Or there's a lawsuit which crosses state lines & works its way through the federal system up to the supreme court.
Except treat the law isn't put into place for preventing the Baker from having to make gay-themed cupcakes, but allows the Baker to refuse to sell existing, plain ole vanilla cupcakes to a sexual deviant. The question boils down to "What is a protected class?" Given that Indiana (and all states other than Louisiana) follow common law rules, prior cases involving protected classes are relevant. Common law had already established that race and religious beliefs are protected classes. Why sexual orientation has to be a question is something best explained by bigotry and is the whole point of why protected classes are legally exist.
I completely agree...but isn't this what you are also doing too?
I don't think there's a need to feel remorse for ridding society of someone about whom otherwise never give another thought, but who comes to our attention for being a satisfied murderer of innocent people. Supporting the removal of that person from existence isn't the same as wanting to kill anyone.
Similar arguments have been used throughout history. Examples include the early years of the USSR, Andrew Jackson's reign of the US, and Hitler's reign of Germany. Sadly, history has a tendency to repeat itself.
Consumers are cheap - this is evidenced by the number of consumers who never install a new version of Windows on their computers. How will Microsoft get people to subscribe when they buy a new computer?

Really, who would be surprised by a blue screen from a Windows 95 box?
The giveaway was probably when the blue screen was replaced with CIA's logo and the text "All your base are belong to us."
Ah yes, the precursor to "I'm all about that bass." Damn you - now I can't get that techno out of my head!
I gotta admit, that caught my eye, too.

My solution is sharks, with freaking lasers!
Headline says one (Antarctic) while the summary says the other (Arctic). It's like swapping the Tropic of Cancer with the Tropic of Capricorn....
And then over time the astronomical meaning of how we keep time goes astray.
By that logic, the astronomical meaning of how we keep time went astray when we implemented time zones.
