Yeah, as someone who had the real flu a few years ago I agree. The best description I ever heard was "The first few days I was afraid it would kill me, after that I was afraid it would not."
I think you mean these companies like to use that as an excuse to save a couple bucks on what used to be a normal part of compensation. Everything will have some level of abuse, the ideal is to keep it to a minimum you will never not have it. It sure is a convenient excuse to screw the rest of the workers though.
That last part is not true. I have had 4 keyboards and 4 mice in use by 4 users on one PC. They also had 4 monitors and each had their own desktop environment.
Yet, someone will buy this. Not everyone buys the cheapest or most practical thing. I could buy a new keyboard for $10, instead I buy a used Model M for $50 when I need another one.
Unless Valve somehow gets Linus to infect the kernel with their DRM and close up the source, that is not going to change. I put the odds of the esteemed Mr.Torvalds doing that at about 1 in infinity.
Well it is too laggy for anything but casual games, is that all you buy on steam? Would you like to see them after they are compressed poorly to minimize that latency?
Good point, it would be nice to have something like steam though.
My preference would be to get the games into a repository and just pay for a CD key or something. The typical brain dead each application has its own updater is one of the most annoying things about windows/osx.
Games are applications. They do lots of IO to read in the massive levels. Unless you like waiting for loading. Spinning disk is for cheap storage, so either you are ripping blu-rays or poor or out of date.

That could be very misleading. People who are elderly, immunocompromised or exposed to sick people via work are the most likely to be immunized.
You would need to do a real double blind study. Pick some population give half the real deal and the other half saline and wait and see what happens.
I never said such a thing.
Many corporations still offer this benefit.
Just your claims are mostly BS. Most people need the money too much to call in sick when sick or when they want to do something else.
Mandatory TB testing would suck for me. Outside the US vaccination for this is common. Made it tough for me as a kid when we switched schools.
How are they forcing companies to do that?

None of this is a problem.
They just run the game in one of 3 modes, check which console you are on and run that mode. That will just work.
Of course when any just works item does not you are totally screwed. Which is why I try to avoid them.

How many games exceed 256GB?
Why would you need that?
Get a big enough SSD for OS and games and stick your movie rips on spinning rust.
From 2005?
My youngest is from 1991. It does not need a lifetime guarantee, it is built to last.
You can however use it to track location once you know who holds what badge number.
Most slashdotters do not have these active RFID units, we have passive ones with much shorter useful ranges.
The student should just remove the battery at the end of each school day.
Let's see some citations for that.
I don't remember any constitutional clauses backing the apocalypse myths of any religion.
No one would ever know you took those classes at a community college. You would transfer them elsewhere to get the degree.

There is busy box available even without root.

What are you using that ram for?
If you want a server get one.
Which is why you can move them around, or maybe just maybe buy a bigger ssd.
Ok, so buy them both.
I thought maybe the $20 would have got him $20 closer to a bigger performance boost.
Not all wireless keyboards need a USB port, bluetooth units for example.
I think requiring HDMI is fine, nothing beyond that. Miracast nor any other solution like it is truly suited to playing anything but casual games.

PS2, NES, Colecovision if you took the controllers out, and most top loading CD systems if you were willing to unstack them to change games.
So do not use offline mode.
To play the DRM free indie games you don't need to launch steam at all. You can launch them right from their exes.
