Iron fist in a velvet glove. If they don't the money an run, Google will do what it can to defrock them from Google Play. Don't know how exactly, but expect something of a "join us or die" attitude. That said, I applaud them for standing up to Google and blazing their own path to success.
First of all, someone whom is about to commit suicide will openly acknowledge it is a cowardly act; and yet, for someone to follow through it speaks volumes of their struggle and desperation. They need help and support, not be beaten down further.
As for my presumption about you: this is me giving you the benefit of the doubt. So I'm being kind here. But in fact if you do run a business and are of this attitude, name the business so those that care can avoid supporting an asshole such as yourself. Or, are you too cowardly?!
Yes, but unlike you, they took the initiative and risk in a very anti-business climate to begin with. And for you to berate these people like the ass you are is non-conducive to a work ethos this nation so desperately needs. They failed, and suicide is cowardly. But for them and many others to off themselves speaks volumes about the systematic problems this nation faces; both fiscally and culturally.
My previous comment was to address the much larger issue; and this issue is ancillary to it. Another ancillary example would be the veteran suicide rate.
Be careful what you wish for. You can blame the local and federal Goverment (and voter) for excessive taxation and regulations for the small to medium businesses (SMB market). If you're Fortune 500, you own a piece of that government! Regardless, if the market is so bad that only the ruthless and cunning survive, that's the kind of fight or flight culture you're going to have. Owners will be nasty and unforgiving; the employees will take credit and backstab each other to keep their job. This is a very caustic attitude for a nation to descend too. Please see former communist nations as an example of long-lasting cultural / trust impact people have with one another.
So if not technical, I believe the reasons for jumping past 9 and to 10 is for marketing reasons (really psychological). The corporate sector is still predominately running Windows 7 on all newer machines. Being windows 8 is based of the mobile content consumption (not tuned for multi-monitor / multi-tasking workflow), many companies purchased through Dell to exercise their downgrade rights from a Windows 8 license to running Windows 7. Windows 8.1 still didn't introduce the Start Menu. In fear of having Windows 9 being viewed as yet-another release of the same old new shit, they choose Windows 10 in hopes of corporate america seeing it as the true successor to Windows 7.
How does this study break down on cultures and regions around the world? Meaning, is this a universal human perception (encoded behavior in DNA as an evolutionary trait), or a "Western" thing?
No, not really. By numbers and via common denominator, the Win32 is used by most home and businesses. One of the main factors that makes Windows so vulnerable is backwards compatibility cruft which introduces bugs and exploits. That, and a poor user security paradigm. OSX tends to break but refine with each release (more so than Windows at leas). Also, apps are signed. Unsigned apps won't run as they're untrusted. This can be overridden by the user in the security settings, but it takes a more conscious decision vs. blindingly clicking "YES, I want to run that thing".
A little OT, but drivers license in Ohio are laminated?!?! Texas uses to have those about 15 year ago, but they lead to fake IDs being created (delaminate and swap photos, etc). Now, as with California, Texas DL is hard plastic with a 2D barcode on the back.
Back OT, I think the stock is used on-site at the DMV vs using preprinted plastic stickers is due to cost. Registration stickers are replaced once a year anyways, and they can be sourced online mail order or at any DMV office. So cost, availability, and time of delivery are minimized. The UK might want to adopt this method too.
If it's that big of a deal (and it is), it should be taken more seriously than sending a bunch of people to live in what amounts to a giant ant colony underground.
Step 1: Nuke the poles and melt the C02 caps. Thicken the atmosphere and warm the place up (martian warming?)
Step 1.5: Optional; send icy comets to Mars and bombard the place with them. May require advance rocketry with harpooning or netting capability to capture and redirect them.
Step 2: Advancement in bioengineering; seed the planet with bacteria or planet life that will convert some of that C02 to oxygen.
Step 4: Half-life should from previous Step 1 should made for human colonization possible. Also, technology should be further along and advanced anyhow.
Why are we thinking about putting the cart before the horse at this point? There's much prep work to be done beforehand.
About 10 years ago, maybe less, Texas DMV replaced stickers with a new type that could be printed on from either an inkjet, or laser printer. The form (with the sticker) is in standard letter format (8.5" x 11"). Once you receive the paper from either mail or in person at the DMV, you simply peel off the sticker from the letter and affix to the windshield. It's a brilliant change. Basically, no more proprietary plastic stickers that can only come from a factory source.
It's Mars; a planet with no native atmosphere, climate, and landscape like Earth. That means everything. You may think it's a non-issue, but in fact is. People don't want to be holed up in geodesic dome glass domes and living underground like insects. Livable habitable space would be a commodity. Resources would be scarce. The chance for war/conflict and epidemics would be great (no escaping it). And unlike Earth where you can simply reboot society via going outside and farming a little plot of land, you can't do that on Mars!!! A Martian civilization starts and is maintained on the highest rung of the technological tree. Once you slip down from that, society is doomed!
Victory gardens, lots of them. Protected by communities with guns. Start there, and then work on getting organized back into fully functional farms and eventually cities. If you need to place to crawl back out of, this is a solid path compared to anything else.
Symptoms may become increasingly severe over time, the Mayo Clinic said, with additional symptoms present, including:
Nausea and vomiting Diarrhea (may be bloody) Red eyes Raised rash Chest pain and cough Stomach pain Severe weight loss Bleeding, usually from the eyes, and bruising (people near death may bleed from other orifices, such as ears, nose and rectum) Internal bleeding
I've said it and I will say it again: Prepare you and your family as though a hurricane could blow your way. Now imagine three hurricanes about to slam your home in a row. That's how much food and water you should have locked away for you and your family. If this becomes airborne, shit will hit the fan. Assuming you're a survivor, there might not be much of a functional nation to return too, let alone the modern world.
Good God, I really pray China, India, and Mexico don't get hit with this; the most populated places on Earth. I don't think they can handle such an outbreak!
Not a marketing guy here, but aren't the commercials for the Super Bowl the most expensive to produce and gain the most eyeballs? Can PPV only make up for the lost advertisement revenue?
Tanks will roll in regardless. The CCP has no choice in the matter or the uprising will spread to the mainland! And it would. So yeah, get ready for international condemnation followed by a short bout of amnesia. Yeah, they're the global factory of the world and THEY KNOW IT! So nobody is in any bargaining position anyways.

Just drive down Westheimer Rd, Houston TX in the Highland Village shopping area. Exotic cars galore. In fact, the Hotel Derek off the corner of Westheimer Rd and 610 loop is practically photo op campgrounds for cars like Ferrari.

Windows On/Off edition. How productive and complicated do you really need an OS to be?

Because a delicious pizza brings physics nerds together. The team will be well fed, and thus progress marches on. Yeah!!!
Oh crap, now I'm worried!
I was worried when the majority of people voted for Obama; TWICE! Bunch of fucking morons! Yeah, this will go well.
Sorry, but you're all on your own when civilization falls apart.
