I think a better way to put it is that there is no experiment which could falsify the hypothesis that there is a God. Certainly none known currently, or surely many people would have run it. Thus, the existence of God is not a scientific question.
I don't think your advice is generally applicable: "LTSB is a licensing option for Windows 10 Enterprise and is available only for customers with a Volume License agreement."
Of course if you're going to spend all of that money paying engineers to do the R&D work, you may as well patent it it in case you need it later or someone else is interested in buying or licensing it from you.
Or you would like to be able to keep someone else from doing it.
OK you have a point. I would categorize the problem of being black in a white neighborhood as a totally different issue than putting up with fines for ordinary behavior, and it's a really serious problem in this country IMO. Being a white man in a poor black area? Are the cops going to hassle you for that? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing and surely Fox News would make it the top story for weeks on end if it happens.
For the rest of it, it's a matter of not breaking the rules. Some people like having rules that are enforced, and some people like having almost no rules. The US is on the more rules end of the spectrum. Yeah some of them are stupid, it's true. Personally I'd rather live in the US than India though.
Are you under the impression that people in the US regularly pay fines for normal activities? Other than those who get frequent traffic or parking tickets, this is not the case. There are occasional (and generally modest) fees for paperwork, but otherwise my impression is most people rarely pay the government in any way other than taxes.
I'm not totally clear on how this all works but my impression is there is no true originating number. It's just a VOIP connection from some server somewhere that picked up a spoofed number, however it is they do that.
And they are rapidly reaching the tipping point where 24 of their cores for $500 bucks make a lot more sense than 6 of Intel's for $500 bucks.
Only if your work is heavily parallel. If the process you're running can only make use of 4 or 6 cores anyway, the other 18 aren't going to do much good. There is no need to reply just to say that your workload can in fact make use of 24 cores. That's fine. I'm just saying that adding a whole bunch of cores is not equivalent to making the cores faster in the general case. I'd rather have four really fast cores than 24 slower ones. Of course, I'd also rather not pay 500 bucks for a processor, but that's neither here nor there.
You didn't provide anything to back up your assertion that internet access is too cheap. Why is it too cheap? What problems is this causing? And why are your suggestions the best solutions to these problems?
A good manual doesn't do any good if it isn't read. And most people don't even bother reading instructions that their software provides them on how to do a task they're currently engaged in (or what went wrong with it). I would be very surprised if your average person who doesn't know the difference between storage and memory would be willing to actually read a user manual for a piece of consumer electronics, no matter how well written.
I think how it works is each user has their own vault, encrypted with their own password. What I'm not sure of is how they handle synchronization. It's possible that passwords are stored without user encryption on the server until they're synchronized. I didn't see anything explaining that in their FAQs. Support would probably be responsive if you wanted to ask them.
But it seems that since they are using reversible encryption, that anyone getting access to their database can decrypt your passwords.
That's not how encryption works. You have to have the key to decrypt it. If anyone with access to the database could get the passwords, that would mean they were not encrypted.
The online-based password fillers have to keep the key on the server side
I don't think that's true. "...exclusively encrypting and decrypting on your local PC. No one at LastPass can ever access your sensitive data... Our policy of never receiving private data that you haven't already locked down with your LastPass master password (which we never receive and will never ask for) radically reduces attack vectors."
My question is this. Is it our turn to laugh at, well, NOT ALL Android fanboys, but the ones who take to places like this and mock Apple, Inc. product users whenever there's a problem in Appletania, is now our time to point and laugh?
Or you could use Android, and install as many apps as you want (or have room for anyway) and only put the shortcuts you want on your desktop. Or install a launcher that doesn't put any apps at all on the desktop.
Are you saying the others store the key on their site? If so, do you have a reference? If not, yes it can certainly be cracked, but "eventually" is a long time. If an attacker cracks my password vault 150 years after I'm dead, I really don't care. The question is, if someone gets hold of a bunch of password databases, how long would it likely take them to crack mine, given that they would have to crack each file separately?
"Frank1!" would be very easy for a computer to guess. I'm not an expert, but I suspect "Frank1!frank1!frank1!frank" is only slightly better. If you're not going to use a long random password, a series of several unrelated words is best. "jalopy mango disappointed eraser" for example. I would recommend just getting a password manager and being careful about what apps you install.
I don't believe there are bad drivers.... Lazy, arrogant drivers will never admit to making a mistake and as a result, will make the same mistake with alarming regularity.
when they fail for what ever reason, the car should stop moving.
Hell no. I don't want to have pull over on whatever road I'm on whether there is a shoulder or not and call a tow truck because a lane departure warning system had a hiccup. Or if the car continues but then won't restart after it's turned off, maybe I won't be stuck on the side of the road but it's still an enormous inconvenience and possibly very expensive for a system I might not even care about. We don't even make cars fail to run when the seat belts aren't buckled, and that is far more important than adaptive cruise control. Just no.
Also, I don't know why professional video gaming is more strange than playing any other sort of game professionally. Unless you find those bizarre too. It's just like basketball or poker (except that you can make money at poker whether anyone wants to watch or not) - people watching other people play a game because they're really good at it. Do you find it strange that there would be enough interest from fans? The industry pulls in over $100 billion a year; it makes sense that some minority of those people would be interested in watching talented people play. To me anyway.

Only for those selling MongoDB services, not those just using it. Not sure if you were clear on that or not.

That sounds about right. Scandinavia comes to mind as well though I like a little more sunlight in winter.

The data do not support this claim.

There is no spike or abrupt increase in 2009.

Google services including the Play Store are not at all open source.
Having attempted to find some of the source code for those Google services, I can also attest they are closed source and not publicly available.

Fortunately it's a renewable resource.

You can always do that.
