1. saves self contained presentations that will run on anything that can run powerpoint. This is a big deal when it comes to media. 2. local storage. presenters don't want to look bad if half the presentation fails because of some scripting error on a remote host somewhere 3. has hardware/gpu acceleration for animations and vector art. sure, web 2.0 does a lot of this too, but it's at the mercy of the browser, revision, and the os it's running on, and each company has different network policies. The only time I've seen acceleration fail on powerpoint is with those worse than useless usb video adapters which lack the proper acceleration.
That doesn't mean it's better for society to mandate backdoor keys or methods into crypto with the force of law. If anything, snowden's leaks helped show that the US state is among the biggest criminals of all. Are they subject to these backdoors? Of course not. It would violate 'national security'.
This is the kind of reaction that is generated by placing ideological thought ahead of reality. I'm not bashing you, but I am bashing your idea that "smart" tech on a gun is or should be required. There are multitudes of ways for overengineering to fail and that is the last thing you want in a firearm.
You are at least somewhat familiar with the cold war? Stalin's gulag system? The work camps of North Korea? Abuse in prisons has nothing to do with capitalism.
You mean yet another SaaS 'solution' that'll disappear eventually? How is flow any different than ifttt? Who really wants to refactor their solutions every time one of these 'service providers' decides to eol their 'solutions'?
Stuff like home automation should not be handled 'in the cloud'. At worst, it might expose a portal for remote admin but that's it.
well, hey if clearchannel and the fcc didn't make it so expensive to license, we'd have more.. the problem is that once the community station starts playing ads to pay bills, the game is up. It becomes subsumed until it's no different than the others.
Community radio usually has some sort of political agenda to push in order to get the funding needed. The rest are clearchannel garbage.
Oh I understand completely how 'we' got here.. (you mean 'they', don't you? most people sure as hell can't afford an FM license) It's called lobbying.
The criticism most have here isn't over good management of finite bandwidth, it's that it's used as a convenient excuse to shut down competition to the existing market structure. The problem is the state needs to quit selling out to these people. They are the reason FM is lifeless homogenic garbage where 95% of the stations play the same tired old shit over and over and the commercials rival cable in annoyance factor. This is the primary motivator for pirate radio.
A few changes in the law to minimize driver culpability towards jaywalkers and other pedestrians who don't follow the rules (such as look both ways before they leap) might result in a spike of deaths by inattention, but afterwards, the rest should mend their ways. If not, I won't lose much sleep over these morons being killed off by their busyboxes. Thinning the herd keeps broken adaptation to a minimum. I'd also minimize the impact of broken financial systems that assign an individual's responsibility for stupidity to others.

more stable than amd's, yes.
He's not the paranoid one. Those running the state are the ones who want to monitor everyone.
well, yeah, except that powerpoint:
1. saves self contained presentations that will run on anything that can run powerpoint. This is a big deal when it comes to media.
2. local storage. presenters don't want to look bad if half the presentation fails because of some scripting error on a remote host somewhere
3. has hardware/gpu acceleration for animations and vector art. sure, web 2.0 does a lot of this too, but it's at the mercy of the browser, revision, and the os it's running on, and each company has different network policies.

Yeah a really bad and broken version of what was there in windows xp and 7..
Taxation was a primary motivator for the rebellion against the UK.
I think of farina (the cereal) when I see her name.
Wow, an email? Really? Well that settles it then! It must be true!
Yes. Under extremely carefully controlled circumstances.

Why would they want to do that? If they did, their power over society would vanish.
Welcome to the future of being ruled by soccer mom sensibility..
or they need to realize that respecting liberty is more important than diminishing returns on safety.
Try running windows 10 on some of those vaios.. good luck.

yup, but it's nicer to have a throwaway account that isn't associated with a domain you own.

They just want an email address you can't easily divest yourself of so they can sell it to spamhouses.

if it had to do with racism against indians, then these companies wouldn't be racing to hire them in the first place.

Yup. Darwin should be taking care of these morons.
Then so are your hopes for stemming climate change without reverting to a stone age existence.
No, but it is used to manipulate the emotions of the uninformed for political reasons. This is called propaganda.
