I get that it's hollow, but it's light-hearted fun and campy in the old TOS tradition, lying somewhere between TOS and TNG. I do believe it gains traction because you can watch that one with the family while shows like Killjoys and Dark Matter are definitely in the more mature category.
Predestination was an awesome movie - definitely on the top of my list of movies to rewatch. Primer is another. Time Lapse and Paycheck weren't bad either. Safety Not Guaranteed should be mentioned as well, just to round out the top time travel/warped movies. Although, honestly, you have to include Next in that grouping as well. I am aware I'm leaving out the HG Wells adaptations, but those are in a different class IMHO. I'd also add Continuum and Timeless (both great first seasons) and the Time Tunnel (old and corn on the level of the original Wild Wild West) to the TV side.
I'll have to agree with 99% of that as well. I will note that the science (fiction) portions were cool, but the trailers cast it as more of an action film. Unfortunately, all the action occurred in the 90s trailer, the remainder was the bunch of crap listed with a couple of drama storylines thrown in. Had they just ended it with him falling into the black hole or, if they wanted the ending, maybe passing through the "portal" or whatever (yes, it was that memorable)
when you can get the "real thing" for that sort of money it's not worth the hassle of using anything else. Obviously if you want to use it on an OS other than Windows then OSS is probably still the best option.
Well, since W10 is about the worst thing you could do to yourself, I guess the real question is: how much do you really hate yourself?
Well, it all depends upon how that tooth was extracted. I once had 2 wisdom teeth extracted and drove more than 2 hours at highway speeds to get home (student and needed them pulled during a dentist visit before going back to school). No real pain, no pain pills at all, although it was suggested that if I needed it, aspirin or ibuprofen that night could be taken. Fast forward a few years, and had 2 more pulled. Or to be more exact, one pulled, one hammered out of my jaw. Literally. Even then, just 5 doses of hydrocodone over 2 days and I was down to ibuprofen. But make no mistake, tooth extraction can vary by light years in pain, even in the same person.
As for the finger - beats me. Depends upon how it was broken. Minor cracked bone, no problem. Shattered bones? Different story. Not enough detail in either case to make a determination on pain levels, but 30 days of unknown strength pills does seem excessive.
Mail has challenges, for sure. Part of that is Google's intentional breaking of imap, to force people into logging on with their browsers. I wonder why that is? The same can be said for Google Calendar, and their breaking of iCal standards. Then again, Apple screwed up there too by attempting to move invite handling to the back-ground and breaking the "accepted" calendar flow up to that point. MS is not without fault here either, Exchange calendar invites were a bitch to parse correctly for years, until the iPhone phenomenon got enough traction to force them to play nice. Also worked on their Office document formats, which finally don't change every other year and break all backwards compatibility.
As for iTunes/Music player - yeah, that's one massive rudimentary codebase. There's a whole lot of things that could be improved with that one, and that involves just about every single thing related to it. However, to be fair, it does deal with massive DBs. I have 10s of thousands of songs listed, and it still works fine, when I open it. Until recently, I exclusively used 3rd party apps to actually play things, they are now obsoleted.
Sun had a viable business model, their execution and costing structures didn't support what was coming down the pike - ie, they failed to anticipate their competition, much like IBM failed to anticipate the PC.
And you've clearly never thought "well it's on the internet, it will always be there" only to not be able to find something a year later. Digital content goes out of circulation all the damn time.
Well, it's a bit more than that....It's not 'wayland will *never* be better', but it is a statement that it has a ways to go, and some of the limitations are design choices that will require interesting conversations, particularly about security with regards to screen sharing.
Let me be more clear then: Wayland is not better and will not be better, because it missed the boat on some key fundamentals such as security. To quote others, security cannot be bolted on at the end and be expected to work well. We can give MS as a prime example of that approach.
I was not a fan of ghostbusters remake and I'd call it a horrible stolen hack, except the original creatives behind Ghostbusters 1 & 2 were behind this remake. Consider it more a tongue in cheek test of society than a standalone movie, and it becomes clear.
As for SW, that entire storyline was dealt a near fatal blow in Return of the Jedi, followed by death blows and stomping the corpse into the ground in Ep 1-3. The fact that Disney could resurrect anything worthwhile from that mess is a marvel in and of itself. Rogue One was everything Ep 1-3 was not. Ep 7 was essentially re-introducing the story line to a new audience. Ep 8 was killing off the old, and setting the stage for the new, along with attempting to explain a little more what a Jedi's powers really are. At least that's my take on it. In any case, I've been more entertained by any one of the Disney releases than the best of the last 4 by Lucas combined. I can't overstate how much I hated Ep 1-3.
If he's actually committed any of those crimes, and you have proof, call your representative and hand over the evidence.
Treason: handing the Russians top secret intel. I believe you can easily find proof on any number of real news sources as Trump himself claimed to have done so. While Trump has the power as president to declassify something and share it, congress can still find it treasonous and charge him for it.
By 1964, and probably earlier, the Supreme Court had confirmed that the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution applies strongly to the 1934 act - states cannot step on the FCC's regulation. Congress gave the FCC full authority to regulate nationwide and did not allow for state and local changes.
If so, then why the specific wording in Ajit's new policy? I'm guessing because he's overstepping his bounds on localities. You see, the FCC does have limitations, as clearly indicated by the specific rulings against Wheeler's earlier policies which found he overstepped boundaries on regulating entities. He had to use existing law to make those policies work, so he classified them as Title II. Now Pai has no such ruling to fall back on, and localities have always been able to regulate providers.
I honestly can't decide which is worse - Dotcom winning or the American bullies winning. It's a no-win situation from my perspective.
This isn't even in the same book. Kim should definitely win. The rule of law was abused and that should be corrected above all, even if a sleazebag like Kim walks away with lots of money. He'll lose it elsewhere soon enough or actually do something illegal, and then you can use rule of law as justified.
Where/when the REAL innovation took place was when Woz, Jobs, and Gates were working out of garages.
Small businesses and startups are where real innovation occurred most of the time in the past. The problem is a Jobs, Gates, or Woz could not do the same today.
You don't know what you're talking about. Some of the most disruptive and fast growing businesses today started out of a garage in the past 5 years, at least 1 in the last year. It's still happening, you just haven't seen the end game yet where at least one of these businesses becomes a behemoth. Corporate growth still happens at a snail's pace compared to internet time, reset your clock.
As for Gates, I don't see any innovation there, other than contract law innovation. Technology wise, MS (and specifically Gates) are poor second cousins to the real innovators in the field. Just look at their "accomplishments" and you'll realize that just about every single one of those was acquired, subsumed, or outright stolen from the real innovators. (I hedge my statement only because someone, somewhere, will point to some small insignificant MS product that might be considered innovative)
Au contraire, I see the 2020 winner's primary plank as repealing 99% of Trump and the Republicans actions, as we find ourselves in an inflationary spiral and major recession. Provided, of course, we don't get a super-majority in both houses of Congress that actively rejects the Executive branches actions by clarifying law at every opportunity.
Wheeler wound up not making law at all. He merely defined, within the confines of law, that ISPs were subject to Title II, as defined by the Legislative branch and corrected by the Judicial branch. Wheeler was part of the Executive branch, which executes said law. What can be argued is whether Pai has the authority to unilaterally make law, by forbidding states on down from regulating ISPs operating within their regions, because he certainly isn't applying existing law. I do applaud Montana and NY for taking steps to ensure that their tax money is spent only on operations that are not out to gouge their constituents. I can't wait for CA and a bunch of cities to do the same.
I am reminded of the the phrase "cut of his nose to spite his face".
Needless to say, I'm far from the only one that's just getting off the floor teary eyed with a heart filled with mirth. I can see several other states following suit pretty quickly (CA for one) and all of a sudden, a good 40-50% of the population (and a good portion of AT&Ts potential revenue) is suddenly tied to a plethora of laws they'll have to follow, or witness competition suddenly taking over chunks of their fiefdom.

But didn't we already see that movie, like 6 times? (Terminator movies and Wargames)
The first half of the first season of BG was allright. Had they ended it with the final episode at that point, it might have been great.

One is software people use today, the other is a historical footnote once considered a weapon illegal to export by the US Government.
Maybe it was renamed OpenPGP later, but at the time it was known merely as PGP, and it worked well.
I was confused - was he talking about MS Office? I find it to be massively clunky and generally unusable.

Ah, but internet service (i.e., connectivity to the drop in the provider's site, is by necessity a local sale.

Thank goodness for that!
Pro-tip: Trump is *almost always* wrong.
So he's wrong about being wrong?
Well, it's a bit more than that....It's not 'wayland will *never* be better', but it is a statement that it has a ways to go, and some of the limitations are design choices that will require interesting conversations, particularly about security with regards to screen sharing.

Musical birthday cards should get a pass.
If this legislation causes the end of musical birthday cards, it would be the most effective law passed this year.
From what I understand about the vulnerability, all they need to do is flush the execution pipelines and cache after a context switch
Which is already the most expensive operation on an Intel CPU, and happens all the time in our current workloads.
