It was a false claim that the teacher had committed a sex offense. Such a claim would be enough to prevent the teacher from getting another teaching job.
If a mere claim that someone has committed an offense is enough to stop them getting another job, that says something pretty bad about the state of American society... as does this overruling the first amendment.
Pale Moon is no longer a Firefox build, having diverged and fully forked the codebase well before Australis hit. It's now its own thing. Pretty much the only way to avoid the endless stream of crap going into the Firefox codebase these days.
As for average speed limit cameras, how about just following the law?
Because 70 is too goddamn slow. Have you ever driven on a British motorway? 70mph definitely isn't the speed people naturally drive at in good conditions; it's frequently more like 90-100mph and yet motorways have the lowest accident rates of any roads.
It's all to do with screwing the driver over, as usual, and using safety as a pathetic excuse.
Shame that driving on motorways in England has become tedious as hell now that they're installing average speed cameras everywhere. Slip over the the paltry 70mph limit a few times and you get banned from driving for a year. I try to avoid the motorways when driving nowadays.
*prepares to be cuckolded by speed limit Nazis who think even 70mph is "too dangerous"*
MUCH better task manager, and resource manager. You can see what each app is doing, from network bandwidth, what ports it is using, what files it is accessing. You can see what drives are getting hit. See what apps at start up are causing a slow boot, and disable them if you want.
I'll give you that. I've wanted Linux to have something like this for years... I'm still not aware of a distro that has a decent task manager.
Multiple desktops.
Don't give a damn. I'm never liked them and Linux WMs have had them for ages anyway.
Powershell.
Who cares? And wasn't that available ages ago anyway?
Web server that supports HTTP/2.
In a consumer OS, who needs that? For developers, you can just install such a server.
Built-in support for USB 3/3.1.
Installing drivers isn't hard.
Storage Spaces (More advanced RAID).
Don't know what that is/means.
DirectX 12.
So Microsoft arbitrarily decide to prevent their latest gaming framework from working on earlier versions of Windows, to try and force people to switch. This just means MS are assholes, not that Windows 10 is fundamentally better.
Smaller memory footprint, smaller disk footprint, faster boots and sleeps.
Big deal. Win7 is quick enough for me already.
Cortana.
While this kind of thing might be useful on a mobile device, it's not that useful on a desktop OS with a proper keyboard. In fact it seems to be there as part of the whole "unified interface" approach, across PCs, tablets, and mobile devices. Which brings me to...
Universal Apps. Cleaner taskbar. Modern apps in windows.
This shit is awful. It has no place on a desktop OS and is only there because they are shoehorning mobile crap onto their desktop OS. It's a bug, not a feature... just like the awful "line art" theme that Windows 10 has. Whoever decided that doing away with full colour icons in favour of monochrome crap should be shot. Oh yeah, and calling the ability to change background colour "theming" is dumb too.
Screen casting.
You could do that before in various ways.
Forced updates. Distributed updates.
And less user control is a *good* thing?
Edge browser.
Don't care. I haven't used MS browsers for anything other than necessary testing for a long time now.
What I found most interesting about this image is that it really shows how dark the moon is. It's something to think about when looking at the seemingly stark light of the full moon. Imagine how bright it would be if it was snow white.
It doesn't look that dark to me; it looks about the same brightness as the land on Earth. I guess it's Earth that's rather bright because of all the H2O being quite reflective.
And it's being championed by politicians who are lining their pockets at our expense.
Exactly. Anyone who says Obama gets an unfair amount of criticism - no he doesn't. He doesn't get nearly enough. TPP and TTIP will have happened on his watch, and not by accident.
What WM do you use? I've found probably Linux's biggest failing to be the UI. I can't find one that competes with Windows Explorer in terms of all-round polish.
And some of them aren't. I don't want MS to be able to access my e-mails or personal data even if they do have a "good faith reason" to do so, thank you. I won't touch Win10 with a barge pole.
Yeah quite. This is rich coming from Mozilla. "Removing user choice" has pretty much been their UX team's modus operandi for years now (and telling users they never really wanted that choice anyway; they wanted Chrome). Now they go whining to Microsoft about a lack of user choice? Go fuck yourselves, Mozilla. Only Pale Moon gives a shit about what you guys used to.
It does seem to have a microUSB socket, but as far as I can tell, that's not for passing USB signals back to the source PC; it's just for configuring the AirTame?
All the AirTame's publicity is about the one-way streaming. All I can see about USB passback is this feature request (implying it's not currently a feature): http://forum.airtame.com/t/usb-input-passthrough/133
USB is trickier, as wireless USB extenders are VERY rare. The few that I could find had all been discontinued
Out of interest, could you provide me some links even to the discontinued products?
I don't see why a wireless USB extender is such an issue. Compared to the bandwidth needed for wireless video (for which there do seem to be some solutions), the bandwidth needed for wireless USB should be very low (at least for just a keyboard and mouse), no?
Wireless keyboard/mouse is unacceptable. I hate charging my peripherals, and anyway I have a set of wired peripherals I've gotten used to and like. I generally don't like any of the keyboards they sell nowadays, with their odd layouts and stupid extra buttons etc.
It's various things to put on the TV, as I mentioned in the OP; interactive desktop computing in general, including maybe programming, possibly videos and gaming (although I do accept there may be latency and quality issues, the games I play tend to be single player turn-based anyway so that's not so much of a problem). It needs to be interactive so some media streaming device isn't what I need or want here.
Is there some reason you can't use a pi to remote desktop or VNC your desktop PC while using the TV as the pi's screen? You could probably build the entire setup for under $150.
Because then I'd have to use a wireless keyboard/mouse and I cant stand those. I want something to plug them in to. I'm guessing there's no "receiver box for USB peripherals" that could be plugged into the mains as I'd hoped, so it looks like I'm going to need to use a laptop.
Surely the keyboard and mouse is not the bandwidth problem. They use relatively little bandwidth (and with local WiFi ping time being under 10ms I don't really understand why there's a latency issue either) - I'd have thought the issue would be wireless video, the thing for which there actually do seem to be a few solutions.
I think what I'd like to be wireless would be the video. I have a set of specific wired peripherals I've gotten used to and like (and I tend to find that wireless keyboards/mice are just annoying, not least because you have to charge them).
I already laid one cat5e Ethernet cable all the way from my master phone socket to my PC upstairs when I got FTTC broadband installed. I don't care to repeat the experience.:-) It was a nightmare drilling a hole through the floor and now that we've got it done I'm not in the mood to drill any more.
Frankly, given the (rather depressing) answers here, I'm thinking the best option is me buying a laptop. I use WiFi to copy data between it and my PC, plug the keyboard/mouse into it on my coffee table, and use one of the various wireless audio/video options for casting the laptop to the TV.

Actually I'd say they're more likely to be running aground.

It's true enough, but honestly, it needs to be prettier. I know it's superficial and stupid
It sure it. I've got no problem with the UI. I *want* it to look like the old MS Office; I hate the new ribbon layout.
What I wish they do is fix a few more fundamental bugs like this one I found when trying to create a macro that inserted fields: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86199&redirected_from=fdo
DUMB.
Yes, because that worked so well for the first 150 years America was a country...
Say what you want about slavery, but when it was in place black unemployment was at an all-time low.
That it can also go uphill shows it has clear benefits
LOL - this thing has nothing to hold on to. If you try to go up any hill more than 5 degrees, you'll fall off backwards.

I'd like to control it with a real, wired keyboard and mouse. :-)
