Because douchebag designers think everyone wants to see their stupid fucking video so it must play as soon as the page loads. This is fine for CNN or similar sites that are primarily visited by drooling morons that struggle to read in the first place, but wholly inappropriate for a "news for nerds" site that Slashdot once was.
Yep. Dish is surely "too big to fail". Large corporations simply cannot be effectively punished. They fund enough political campaigns that legislators will have a definite interest in making sure no truly harmful penalty is ever inflicted on a big company.
Here in America, the government must have the consent of the governed, and the governed have spoken against this type of intrusive overbearing law enforcement for profit. Take your authoritarian bullshit to China where it belongs.
When Comcast-owned MSNBC is pretty much a fulltime Democratic campaign channel, it's easy to get the government to look the other way when Comcast breaks laws.
Sure you can. "Officer, those aren't my drugs". Ever heard of someone being prosecuted for saying this? We would need a full-time "liar's court" to prosecute all the liars.
False reporting is a crime, as in completely falsifying a police report.
The FBI however has much more prosecution power in this regard. They typically throw this charge at someone they would like to indict but don't have anything else on them.
If anything, Ferguson authorities were not nearly harsh enough in their response. How long did the riots go on, and how many innocent people lost property and/or were assaulted? How many business owners lost their livelihood? What should the police have done, just pulled out altogether? Actually yes, that is what they should have done. Let the animals have Ferguson; just keep them out of the surrounding areas.
Wall Street only wants aggressive growth. All growth is good, more growth is better. So what if it's not sustainable long-term?
Companies are pressured to cut costs to the bone in order to post double-digit profit growth every year. Capital expenditures are discouraged, since they take away from EPS. Enormous executive compensation is perfectly OK, as are share buybacks, but don't dare invest that money in R&D.
Once the company becomes unsustainable and that aggressive growth catches up to it, losses mount. Wall Street insiders saw this coming already and shorted the shares. The stock price takes a big dive, resulting in mass layoffs and resignations of anyone with talent. The now destroyed company is either taken private or massively restructured, often nearing bankruptcy.

With insurance panda?
I see somebody feels professionally threatened...
I wonder how many people who initially bought into the tablet hype realized it really sucks to type a paper on an iPad and switched back to a PC?
"I foresee a new directive in a lot of IT policies regarding laptops and travel and never using wifi on the plane"
I don't.
"not that the C-levels will pay attention"
For this exact reason.

These are the type of companies that buy BMC products. Bloated and expensive must mean it's better, right?
Why on earth are you traveling with HIPAA regulated data on your laptop? Is that truly necessary?
Only in America can you continue a lawsuit without a plantiff.
Can we just cut France off from the internet already? Let them go back to the 1800s, a century they were never comfortable moving past.

Pay no mind to Oligonicella, he's just a raving asshole. All of his posts are very similarly sarcastic and condescending.

If by meaningful testing you mean "runs on my machine in ideal conditions" then yes, they do meaningful testing.
The professional sports model isn't always the best. Ever heard of the Chicago Cubs and their 100+ years of futility?
When did Obama ever attempt to work with Republicans on anything?
I am now dumber for having read that comment. Please get help.

Going for a cop's gun is not anyone's definition of surrendering.
Pants Up, Don't Loot!
Why do hipster designers insist on dumbing down the entire internet by removing useful features and replacing them with worthless JavaScript pages?
Yeah right. They are looking for only one answer, and if you want to stay married long you had better answer correctly.
