If you're a developer working in a shop writing code for bethesda or valve or EA, chances are your windows site license for desktops and servers is already heavily discounted thanks to your generous interest in a visual studio license despite eclipse being right there. Chances are even better that in order to keep this generous discount your manager has started shoehorning C# into your project requirements to 'maximize the investment value' of what basically amounts to a protection racket for good customers.
This is one of the dumbest things I've read on/. for a long while.
If you want to misrepresent what was said, that's your prerogative. The WHO didn't recommend not eating meat, only not to eat processed/smoked meats, and to limit red meat. As usual, the concept of moderation goes *woosh* over people's heads as they furiously go about constructing their strawmen..
You seem to have let trying to block advertising define your life a hell of a lot more than dealing with a few ads might have. Frankly, a loony for a loony cause. But hey, I guess if it helps you feel like you're contributing to something important..
That kid wasn't arrested. He was suspended because it was the last in a long list of classroom disruptions he'd caused. Even his own parents admitted that their kid had disciplinary problems. That kid has become the "hot coffee lawsuit" of students. Try again?
All this does is do what you should be doing anyhow. If the guy behind you is going to rear-end you because you stopped safely to avoid a collision, he was doing to rear-end you after you rear-end the car ahead of you. This isn't rocket science. The only thing that understandably scares people is that if computers are making decisions for us, even if it makes a significant reduction in accidents, we feel like we could have done better had the computer not intervened. It's a blame thing. But any accidents involve victims who did nothing but be in the wrong car at the wrong time. But yes, we crave control, it's built into our fabric of the instinct to survive. Unfortunately, we're also great at making things that we can't control very well.
This is the abstinence only approach. Doesn't work.
I'm also glad that in two seconds of things, you've come up with reasons that the thousands of engineers involved in implementing things like this haven't thought of. I hope they read your post!
You may be an irate engineer because you're surrounded by reasonable engineers.
The problem is that Americans think their problems are a result of immigration. The issue is nothing more than a convenient political scapegoat that populists are all but desperate to eat up as it appears to legitimize their xenophobia and present a simple, or at least theoretically attainable, goal. A goal which is a solution for nothing, but a goal none-the-less. When folks have socially unacceptable attitudes, they are easily led to believe they are part of the "real talk" truth - as if they are somehow inherently mature or realist. It's the same reason why nutjobs fell into the 9/11 truther bullshit. It's nothing but a dog and pony show for the middle class so that they don't tune into the real problems America faces.
Jesus dude. Dropbox controls the in and the out of the pipe. So their client can compress further on upload and decompress when downloading/streaming. I don't understand how a simple business case can be so confusing for people.

You mean the principle that doesn't exist?
Who's the politician who platforms on worse care for veterans?

Uh, that entire website is a just a low grade parody site.
You believe in an ideological world that has not, does not, nor will ever exist.

Old man yells at iCloud. (And man, I'm old. That's just a joke that applies in this case.)
We're now not supposed to eat meat of any kind

Oh goodie, a another fucked up human being in the making. You might as well be a hypochondriac.
(1) What am I missing? ... nah, too easy.
how (not why or if) we are being conned and raped
Never mind. You're missing mental stability.

McCarthy didn't get people laid off. He ruined entire careers.
Take that, little girls! Nutria thinks most girls are average or below average of something-or-other!

Yet here were are, with you ending your sentence with an ellipsis.

You're not smart. You will never believe this, but it doesn't change the fact.

The lack of transparency should be disturbing to anybody who believes that it's an important aspect of a free market.
You're willing to say that you're willing to pay market price, but you don't know what market price is, so at best it's a meaningless assertion.

There is nothing confusing here. And yet you've managed to be completely confused.
May I interest you in a tall glass of perspective?
