I doubt people are using this for Vista, 8 or 8.1.... However, Win7 was considered the last usable windows system, and a rather largish group of folks don't want Win10. Personally, I voted with my feet a long long time ago, and run pretty much anything that's not MS.
I was wondering that myself. The current economy was brought back from the last Republican disaster not by a Republican president nor even Republican legislators (GOP is known as the party of "No" after all). Just think about that, and the fact that the economy appears to have peaked right as Trump started making "America Great Again"
It's actually the best scenario that could have come out of the last election. The executive held by one party, the legislative by the other. Now we have morons squared. More parties could only help us at this point.
Both of those reduce diversity - the first nationally, the second within regions.
Seems to me that eliminating the rule would fix the first one and increase the diversity of opinion available to viewers.
(Meanwhile, if the FCC wants to prohibit something to try to increase diversity, they could limit the number of outlets within each region a single party could own. That would also free up some outlets for new wholly-owned network builders, too.)
Doing the first without the second gets you into the worst possible situation you can be in.
I have no problem with 1 company being able to reach all people in the US. I do have issues with 1 company effectively owning all sources in 1 area, otherwise known as a monopoly. My personal take on this would be no company can own more than 10% of broadcasting entities servicing an area with a minimum allowable of 1. That would seem to spur competition and keep the number of competitors higher than they are today.
The noise in opposition to systemd is basically FUD nonsense. I cant understand it. Its open source, its modular, it does everything the old Init system did allowing you to use sys V init, it only adds flexibility. So basically you are arguing that people should not be alllowed to use the functionality and flexibility it offers, because it doesnt actually remove any features or backwards compatability.
If it was a simple launch process controller, it wouldn't get the flack it's receiving. It's a system on a system.
Tesla at this point is a completely self-contained manufacturer and supplier of multiple complementary products. It is its own Keiretsu. It also has the potential to be a disruptor in each of the main product lines it sells.
Yeah, this is a choice between the possibility of malware vs. the certainty of it.
(The real right answer is "Linux," of course.
The right answer is "install an OS that is not made by MS". There are far more of those than just Linux, and a Linux distro with systemd just... sucks if you have to do anything server like.
I'd disagree - companies are, in fact, very stupid in very many ways. Just remember that the "brains" of a company for all intents and purposes are usually the CEO/COO and related C level folks. Now realize that most of those folks don't know the first thing about data security (for purposes of this particular topic) and only see the marketer numbers about how collecting x will generate y revenue for a minimal cost of 0.01% of generating y, as they determined with a single question during a program meeting. (Marketers generally have 0 grasp of anything regarding IT best practices and real costs) I have had many fun conversations with bosses about why something so simple as adding an age and gender field to an account and displaying that info costs far more than adding, say, a nickname field, especially when working for an entity that deals with PII restrictions.
Because all the places that are non-metric are still intuitive to Americans. An inch is about the length of your thumb. A foot is about the length of your foot. A cup is about as much as a tea cup, and twice that you have what fits in pint glass. 0-100 degrees Fahrenheit covers the comfortable livable temperature of humans, and thus is very convenient for telling the weather (which is what 90% of what all non-cooking Americans use temperature for).
An inch is far shorter than the average thumb and a foot is far longer than the average foot. No one drinks a "tea cup" in the US, and they'd be much happier with 0.5L glasses, or L mugs.:)
0F is pretty damn cold, and for most people, 100F is pretty damn hot. I'd rather be in 0-35C, personally, and there's nothing difficult about 0C - water freezes. 30C - it's quite warm out. I'll bet within 3 months no one would care about F.
I agree that is boring, and I'm not sure what I'd do to make it better other than shorten it some. Overall, it was still a well-done movie. If Moon had been made in 68, perhaps I would have been more receptive to it. Creating it in 2009 just seems artificially wrong given where robots and AI are going.
Predestination is a mind bender. Time Lapse, Primer, Safety Not Guaranteed are also good. Project Almanac suffers from a nausea inducing performance (the shaky camera only partially detracts from the absolutely horrible "acting" performances by the leads. Maybe the cameraman was flipping the cue cards while the actors were trying to read them?

So, what is the failure about the Obama economy?

You realize that that "droned by clinton" story was fake, don't you?
I don't know... she did drone on and on in some of those interviews....
the fake true story
is that an "alternative fact"?

I'm hoping for an update late this year or by April of next year, along with the Mac Pro.

Hmm. I sometimes wonder. Nobody I know admits to voting for him. ...I wonder what happened?
Reality.

It comes down to open plans being cheaper than building walls and offices.
FTFY.
That's what VMs are for.
Not everything sails.
True, XP sunk.
Mac is the worst of both worlds, locked down and has a limited software library.
Perhaps you should try running OSX.

Companies are, in fact, not (usually) stupid.

Boring? Space travel is slow. 3 days to the moon. Kubrick got that right.
True, but I don't have to watch it in real time, that's part of the beauty of film...
The only point I'd disagree with is that Donnie would sign in with his own name. He's proud of his level of stupidity.
So proud, he'd trumpet it....
Also, what the hell does water freezing have to do with temp?
Despite your rant, you realize the Fahrenheit scale is based on freezing and boiling water?
Because all the places that are non-metric are still intuitive to Americans. An inch is about the length of your thumb. A foot is about the length of your foot. A cup is about as much as a tea cup, and twice that you have what fits in pint glass. 0-100 degrees Fahrenheit covers the comfortable livable temperature of humans, and thus is very convenient for telling the weather (which is what 90% of what all non-cooking Americans use temperature for).
