And to be fair to you, this was actually a common situation in the early days of LANs. Often local hard drives were so slow that even with 10Base2/10BaseT, it was faster for clients to access data on the fileserver than it was for them to access locally.
Again, it all comes down to speed of local storage, speed of network, and how latency sensitive you are.
I can move files onto google drive faster than I can copy them to a USB2 external hard drive
Depends on the size of the files, and your bandwidth from your PC to Google Drive. Until recently, I had an 18Mbps/5Mbps connection. The math says it would take a minimum of 2000 seconds, or just over 1/2 hour for me to upload a 1GB file to Google. A USB2 connection may not be as fast as the theoretical 480Mbps limit, but it has to be faster than 5Mbps.
If they hadn't done shit such as the forced Win10 update, or forced GWA, or done a lot of other crap that broke peoples systems (in the name of marketing), then maybe people wouldn't have said, "Turn it off".
Doubt it. It's probably crafted to resonate with him, though.
Back in the days of the SSSCA/CBDTPA, I wrote to Bush 43 to ask him to lobby against it, and veto it, should it cross his desk. I used terms that would appeal to him, "overreach of big goverment", "liberal Hollywood elite", etc...
AC is correct. The argument that OP's lawyers made is equivalent to saying, "if you build your code with Microsoft Visual Studio, then the terms of the MS license apply to the code you created".
The reason that insecure (or otherwise unreliable) devices are the norm these days, is that a) hardware & software vendors get away with it. And b) most users don't care. Or at least not seem to care enough to change things.

Yes, I meant WGA. Thanks.

The wise man was Andy Tanenbaum.
It was a station wagon, not a truck.
It was tapes, not flash drives. Flash drives hadn't been invented in 1989.
Mr. Jaffit knew it would be quicker to send a hard drive by road than to upload the files, which could take several days
Or as Andrew Tanenbaum said back in 1989, "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway."
Nonstop is not a legacy OS. HPE has, however, moved to x86-64 for its newer Nonstop servers.

You craft your message for the audience.
Was it speaking Danish or Japanese?
(Trying to figure out if it was Reptilicus or Godzilla)
Don't forget the "Bobs" that Initech contracted to do that.
It's too expensive for the company (not the employees). Lexcorp has a monopoly on all the real estate there.

Prop 13? Uh no.
I bought my house in 1999. If I had to pay taxes on the *CURRENT VALUE*, I wouldn't be able to afford it.
Remove the Prop 13 protections from *COMMERCIAL* property.
I always heard the punch line as...
The LAPD goes next. 20 minutes later, a highly bruised bear comes out, with his paws up, shouting, "I'm a deer! I'm a deer!"
Let's not forget SuSE making a Leap, too
Curse you, good sir [shakes fist]. You have beaten me to this very post!!!
But now Google's dropped him as a produc.t
You laugh, but...

No, most users don't know enough to care.
That's in the US (in theory). This is the Netherlands. I'm not sure what the Dutch goverment has stated as the purpose of copyright.
All systemd really needs is a good init system.
You're wrong. The future is clearly Apps apping apps to app apps!!!!!
Actually, MS *WAS* found guilty in the anti-trust suit. The penalty phase was overturned.
