If I send an email to Google regarding their fiber service, and they don't challenge my proposed changes to our contract in 30 days, are they bound by whatever I put in the email?
Just because you dont like it, doesnt mean anything illegal is being done.
I agree entirely. My questions were premised on the assumption that Intel was being sneaky about the existence of this mechanism. I'm new to this topic, so I really don't know if that premise holds.
For any sizable group X, and any heinous, act Y, can find people who claim to be faithful members of group X and yet advocate Y. This should not be news to any adult.
The more interesting question is, do you think Jesus is okay with this kind of act, based on what you know?
And alternatively, do you think such an act is compatible with anything Muhammed taught?
I think what's going on here is that Microsoft is willing to exercise their legal rights (regarding accidentally misadvertized prices, etc.) but back in the day you didn't choose exercise yours (the store had a legal requirement that what stores sell is fit for purpose, etc., which you didn't ensure they upheld).
President Obama, like President Clinton, is a hard-core right wing conservative
Many of us who call ourselves "conservative" do not consider the term to imply mercantilism, corporatism, or a belief in the effectiveness of top-down economics.
It would be helpful in political discussions if the ideas weren't conflated.
And *I'd* say guilt, guilt all around. Since when is it sociable or any other effective human virtue to ruin people from behind a screen?
What if that person were some modern-day Pol Pot, or Hitler, or Stalin? Where ruining their reputation from behind a screen is the only obvious way to save many lives without risking yourself being tortured to death?
Or what if that person were a serial child molester, about whom the parents of his future would-be victims were ignorant?
(Note: I'm just testing the boundaries of your point; not how it applies to the more typical scenario.)
Yes you will. If you really meant that, you'd have left windows long ago. Microsoft knows you're just going to whimper like a dog and roll over.
I can't speak for the GP, but a less-hyperbolic version of that statement is certainly true in my case. Until now my wife's photography business has been Windows-based. At the next hardware refresh cycle we're almost certainly moving to Mac.
I could almost hold my nose regarding the Windows 10 spyware. I hate it, but not enough to let that make a business decision for me. But the clincher is that we can't risk an errant, forced upgrade from Microsoft messing up our production environment. During the busy seasons, several days of downtime would be unacceptably painful. I'm not a big fan of Macs, but for unfathomable reasons Microsoft is making themselves unfit for use by some small businesses like ours.
No harm in Microsoft trying to blur the distinction between Windows 10 and an X Box. Because they're already done just about everything imaginable to get us to move our photography business to Mac.
I swear Nadella must be a double agent working for Apple or Google.
1. What is so awesome about adding two numbers in the shell? 2. In any case, bash can do it too -- try echo $((15+7)). 3. One of the selling points of bash is that it needs to be fast for power users, so it uses cd instead of change_directory(). One of the selling points of Python is that readability counts, so it would choose change_directory() over cd. How do you plan to reconcile the two approaches?
I haven't checked out Xonsh much yet, but I'm stoked if it provides a good hybrid of Bash and Python.
Lately I've done a lot of Bash scripting, and I've found myself wanting a few features from Python. The first that comes to mind is wanting Python's ability to have lists / dictionaries that can contain other lists / dictionaries. Bash's associative / indexed arrays are a great feature, but it's very inconvenient to compose them in such a manner, and that occasionally makes my life more difficult.
OTOH, I haven't wanted to migrate the scripting to Python, because I really like how easy it is to refine and reuse the same command back and forth between a Bash script and a Bash command-line.
If Xonsh can help in cases like mine, and it manages to gain widespread traction, I'll be stoked.
I've seen those cartoons. I cannot see how Charlie Hebdo is not 'hate speech', surely its a paradigm example of 'hate speech'.
There are passages in the Koran which are unquestionably interpreted by many Muslims as advocating unspeakably evil acts. I'm fairly certain that if you had to label one of those two works as hate speech, it wouldn't be the French one.
The recent terror attacks have reminded us of the urgent need to address illegal online hate speech
I totally agree. Anyone who publicly affirms Muslim, Sink, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Mormon, pastafarian, Jedi, or atheistic beliefs is showing hatred and intolerance towards my beliefs. Because if they're saying they're right, then they're saying I'm wrong, and that's intolerant. I hereby demand that all such persons be silenced throughout the EU.
No, no, no. That's the prelude to badly. When you stop people from discussing and protesting things they disagree with, it's what comes next that's the reall things going badly.
Would you say you... "hate" that scenario, citizen?
I misread that as MSJW devs, and now I'm really hoping that doesn't become a thing.
Their code would never run successfully:
- They'd consider it every program's right to call abort(); without being criticized.
- They could only use peer-to-peer architectures, as master / slave is oppressive.
- All branching logic would initially be floating-point -based, as Boolean logic is exclusionary and thus a micro-aggression against LGBTQ culture. However, it would later be decided that forcing branching logic was inherently judgmental, and thus all program instructions must have an equal chance to execute every processor clock tick.
The one upside is that their code would be meticulously designed to avoid race conditions. Sadly, it would also be subject to nearly constant deadlock.

Only if you can prove they are using it without your authorisation. It simply existing is not enough.
IANAL, but I wonder if "Conspiracy with intent to ..." would be a crime in this case.
If it's really there and Intel has hidden it, I wonder if they could be successfully prosecuted for conspiracy to commit unauthorized computer access.

Heh, At first I thought Wikipedia was your answer.

I think you're exaggerating, but only slightly. This is probably on par with some of their other, sleaziest moves from years past.
I assume that Microsoft compiles its shipping products with some form of Visual C++.
Does anyone know if these telemetry calls are made inside those products? For example, inside Microsoft's shipped versions of SQL Server?
And if so, does this mean using those products for handling HIPPA or PCI workloads is illegal?
I disagree. "Bricking" a Nexus is the thing that happens when its driver illegally parks in a handicap spot. Or so I'm told.
What if that person were some modern-day Pol Pot, or Hitler, or Stalin? Where ruining their reputation from behind a screen is the only obvious way to save many lives without risking yourself being tortured to death?

Those terms are subject to a lot of different interpretations, so of which I'm guessing you don't mean.
I'm not arguing against virtues per se, just that the terms you used are perhaps too vague for your intentions.

If certain people in the U.S. and E.U. have their way, your statement would be an is / ought fallacy.

Thank goodness. Now I am free to express my view that Emacs is the best editor and no one can attack me!
Why would we? Using Emacs is punishment enough.
No, no, no. That's the prelude to badly. When you stop people from discussing and protesting things they disagree with, it's what comes next that's the reall things going badly.
Would you say you... "hate" that scenario, citizen?
Before Windows 10, I was willing to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt regarding their use of the data.
With their sneaky tactics regarding Windows 10, I no longer have that trust. And I'm now second-guessing their use of my Windows 7-originated data.
I misread that as MSJW devs, and now I'm really hoping that doesn't become a thing.
