No. As far as cpus go, they might specify customizations from cpu manufacturers, but they do not manufacture their own components. In most cases, those customizations are actually options provided by the manufacturer.
Says the lefty wingnut, right? Your comment history suggests this. How are you different from the stereotype you're ranting about?
He was referring to situations where unions prevent bad employees from being fired. The US car industry suffered greatly from this and from too much insulation from outside competition.
While a bad employee might explain specific cases, the problem is much broader. It's 'hard' to write secure, complex software in any context. I think the best solution for security is to avoid overcomplexity. We don't 'need' networked computers in cars, it's just that the powers that be, public and private, want our mobility tethered to them. We don't 'need' electronic braking and throttles either. I guess it is political after all.
No, but it makes your argument untrue. Whatever's being argued for (or against) may in fact be true, but not for the reasoning you presented.
Regularly, we see story submissions from rags like huffingtonpost, so why not breitbart? The issues can then be debated here openly..well at least as openly as the moderation system permits. From this perspective, it almost doesn't matter what sources the submitter used, though it would be nice if multiple sources were cited.
The only conclusion I can draw from all of this is that, like so many other 'prestigious' awards, the Hugo is now essentially worthless: Just a prop to push circular legitimacy for certain political viewpoints. That's unfortunate, but good to know.
Because personal beliefs have no relevance in the workplace. It's not a party where you get to choose who you hang out with. You're there to do a job. So is everyone else. He shouldn't have been canned just because some find his politics unacceptable. If he, as CEO, fired those gay employees for donating to pro gay marriage propositions, would you be ok with that? I doubt it. Part of diversity is tolerating those who disagree. Tolerance != like. It just means leave them and their rights alone. He has a right to donate to whatever political parties he chooses while retaining employment, just like those gay employees do.
Do you really want to live in a society that witchhunts for people who don't conform to popular views? Remember when the religious right had the monopoly on culture? You know, the kind of behavior those civil rights crusaders fought against? Be careful you don't become that which you fight.
What's 'winger' about it? My argument applies equally to officers who'd fire employees for being gay. Oh right, leftist dogma makes the implication that it's only discrimination when straight people do it. Who's the wingnut again? Not me.
He may or may not have had other negative aspects, but the justification for his ousting was reprehensible to say the least. Talk about hypocrisy. I hope those gay employees who 'felt uncomfortable' with him will feel even MORE uncomfortable when mozilla folds for good and they're out of jobs. That's what they get for pissing all over meritocracy in that organization.
I was trolling? You come into a thread where people are obviously into games and related hardware to downplay their expenditures and troll implied superiority with essentially buying access to 'pornstar' sex instead. Your attempt at the tired incel-virgin-gamer stereotype is the fail here. What are you trying to prove? Games certainly aren't the be-all-end-all of life, but neither are relationships. Why post here at all? You've made it clear that gaming isn't a big interest of yours.
Some percentage of the time, you're paying $205 for the privilege of a solo workout you could've gotten for free. I'd rather save that for something with a guaranteed payoff. Even with that, paying for sex directly with cash, via proxy of a night out, or with a mortgage followed by vagina-debt alimony, is still a waste of money. It's something that desperate, insecure incel-loser stereotype would do to retain access.
Despite what you supposedly learned never to do again, you went in for round 2? These days, I suspect living at home with mom would be the better deal. Certainly less risky, financially, and with less drama, leaving you with more spare time. Of course, your false dichotomy leaves out other obvious options like avoiding round 2 and not living at mom's.
Not from other compromised vehicles, no. A 2008 model surely has computer assist of some sort. The primary issue is whether it has wireless access (eg cellnet or keyfab).
Yeah whatever. neocon 'christians' or 'liberal' marxists, what's the difference? Both are dogmatic, big statist ideologues who always want a bit more of my money, a bit more control over my property, and a bit more of my liberty. Whether it's for jesus, the children, or for the latest socjus oppression quest, the excuse is the same and it's getting old and foul smelling.
Of course, comrade. The People love you and wish you only health and happiness. Please report to The People's Acceptance Hospital for reeducation. Here, you will learn to love The People the same way they love you.
You might not be important, but you don't have to be if the goal is to cause accidents on major highways. In those situations the logical target would be the popular cars of the unimportant people. I'd just rather not have the connectivity in the first place. I am tired of manufacturers making excuses about their shitty software and over-automated cars. Needless complexity lowers safety and adds expense.
Dress codes don't fix that. They just refocus it to smaller and even less relevant differences. If your employees are spending most of their time bitching about clothing and their sex lives instead of working then get rid of them. I don't care what sex they are. Hygiene has nothing to do with dress codes. Dirty laundry smells no matter how expensive it was. Ditto with dirty bodies no matter how much they're paid.
Clothing has little bearing on the trustworthiness of a company since, as you've already learned, people can choose to overdress to compensate for lack of true capability and honesty. Of course, this only works if the targets are also similarly insecure and irrational. Slackers come in all shapes and dressed in all kinds of clothing. So do hard workers.
Well this explains a lot about the sorry state of the AAA title industry. Like their obsessions with 'professional' looks and dress codes, their games are often expensive affairs that are all flash and no substance: Nice graphics, piss poor gameplay, and plenty of showstopper bugs. I submit that people who think shit like dresscodes are important are the ones who are 'spotty', at least in terms of self-esteem, and that insecurity is probably justified.
You mention pop music as though it's an improvement to those long haired dudes who can play guitar... I just don't know what to say to that.

Hateful of what exactly?
I suppose, if the goal is to reenforce any confirmation bias you might already have. It's good to regularly challenge your assumptions.

Well, hey, at least the open stuff can be fixed.
It's too bad today's news pushes such obvious political agendas. They should be focused on telling the truth as objectively as possible.
That is what I said. However, vocabulary noted for future reference.

Not at the cost of localnet privacy, no. I suppose if it's user flashable and has hw that's more capable than other $200 routers it might be.

I'm not assuming that either. I was referring to the ones who did.

$205 still a bum deal for a few orgasms.
$205 for a few orgasms from a late 30s/mid 40s age wife is way overpriced.

No, the offenses of the more powerful 'socialistic' governments are simply censored more effectively.

Yes. Many of us still do more with computers than browse failbook.
The argument stands or falls on its own, regardless of who says it.
