But, isn't the main purpose of vapes to provide a less-unhealthy way to deliver nicotine to addicts? Why are you making this argument, again? Your argument is proceeding from a premise that has not yet been clearly described.
...the logical response is to start an all-out campaign of cyber aggression and psyops? Sure. That makes sense. Propose a treaty and then declare war when you're ignored.
I agree with pretty much all of that. As an ex-smoker of around 5 years, I'll say that while taking a smoke break meant I wasn't working, it was not without it's benefits to my work process. Stopping for a smoke was something that often let me go from a tangle of competing thoughts to a solution. It also often led to conversations about work that might otherwise not have happened and that helped move things forward on projects.
I'm not saying that there aren't alternative ways for similar interactions to happen, but there aren't many other generally-accepted ways to say "I'm going to stop working for 5 minutes and let my thoughts settle or mingle with some folks".
Obviously untrue. Big Mouth Billy Bass wasn't around until *much* later. That, and it should have been the shed or basement, not the bonus room. effing anonymous n00bs.
The alternative is that the same ridiculously insecure IoT device gets infected with malware that allows it to become part of a botnet. This is better than that. The worst case scenario where a device is part of a botnet has a potentially huge and not inconsequential effect on a potentially huge number of people, whereas bricking said insecure device leads to customer dissatisfaction and provides a real incentive for manufacturers to quit selling shitty, insecure devices to people who don't know any better. This goes after irresponsible manufacturers, who will either have to provide replacements or stop selling devices. There's no real downside here.
You have it backwards. It'll be "want the people accessing your content or service to have more than 256kbps access? Pay us a monthly fee!" (a-la Netflix)
Every time I hear people bitch about windows 8/8.1/10, I shake my head. Win7 was good. Heck, it was my favorite version of Windows until 8 came out...it was better than Win2k Pro, but Win10 is better still. It's more stable, has less crufty old bits, less driver problems, less security problems, and generally causes me less headaches. Then again, I'm not most people.
...or bands that we find via something like YouTube. That's the real reason the RIAA is trying to squeeze Google. They don't like the deal they got with Apple's iTunes, and don't want to be even *more* left behind. They failed to embrace online digital distribution when customers initially clamored for it, tried to sue their way out of it being possible, and now are scrambling to try and figure out how to claw their way back to the same type of margins they once had when they controlled distribution and marketing.
And then Callahan's Lady and The Lady Slings The Blues (Booze?), which are about a different main cast of characters. I'm sure I missed a few, but there's a list here.
His collaborations with his wife are pretty good, too. He's probably my favorite sci-fi author, or at least in a 3-way tie with Heinlein and Asimov.
I'd vote for Number of The Beast, since they could essentially serialize it forever. For that matter, I'd be really happy to see Spider Robinson's Callahan novels (and/or the books about Lady Sally's place) brought to either the big or small screen.
If there are attacks in the wild, then all attackers know (or *can* easily know). Now, all IT professionals can *also* know and decide what to do about it until there's a patch. Responsible disclosure isn't just about when not to say anything, it's also about when to say something.
If it's fair use, then we're talking about re-implementing the API being fair use, not how it's used after the fact. How that re-implemented API is used is not part of the discussion of whether re-implementing the API is fair use. The copyrighted elements were solely the API method signatures, and not any source code. If this had been a court case over patents (which is a whole other level of ridiculous, when talking about software, so thankfully it wasn't), then how the APIs were used and what they did would be at issue. The fact that Chrome has the ability to execute android application bytecode doesn't impact that argument.
...I would say, that may be true for certain users -- for example, long-time smokers that cannot quit -- but the problem is, it doesn't mean that they're healthier. Regular cigarettes are super unhealthy. E-cigarettes are just unhealthy...
Not that I'm an advocate for smoking (full disclosure: I quit cigarettes 4+ years ago and I don't vape), but would that not by definition mean that they're healthier, or does "super unhealthy" not mean less healthy than just "unhealthy"?

I was just going to say this. And you can do versioning/history in S3.

That's not a remote worker problem, that's a socially-inept prima-donna problem. Plenty of those that work in offices, too.
Yeah. Even 5 years ago, it was getting to be a time-consuming ordeal to *get* to the designated smoking area, assuming there was one.

I for one think that the drivers should remain ionized.
Actually, parent said to start generating 30+ character random passwords for each site you use after generating the 6-7 word passphrase.

True. Most people feed all their data directly to Google willingly. Of course, I do that, too.

Here's an explanation of why that's mostly false, since I'm assuming you just made that up.
Umm, they *do* expect that, hence the recall. They even know why it's happening...and they still want to recall the phones, so...
I'd pay $60 for either Super Mario Universe or Super Mario Sunshine 2

How about zero-rating *all* streaming data. That would save customers even *more* money, right?
