It's still incredibly malware prone so IMHO not nice enough to justify and upgrade to an almost unusable UI. I can use the UI but a lot of people come to me who can't without going through a frustratingly annoying learning curve.
The First was the FAIL Update. I've had to mess about with a few MS Win10 machines of relatives due to the update fucking up network, audio and even search being unavailable.
A century ago, there would be a battle that wiped out the next village, you'd never even hear about it
Considering that exactly a century ago those battles were actually happening (Poziers etc) and were reported on the opposite side of the world on the same day it's really bad and insensitive timing for that "grandpa was a flat earther" shit.
Other things - "99% of the land" - the guy may have stuff worth listening to but he's wrapping it up in utterly ridiculous bullshit.
Genes are software programs. It's not a metaphor
Yes it fucking is you tool. The PopSci-lite dumbed down suggestion that all you need is genes to entirely describe an organism is a metaphor and not reality.
The U.S. says there's no legal basis for the government to be required to tell Microsoft customers when it intercepts their e-mail
Not really the problem, which is the legal basis of forbidding Microsoft from telling their customers that their email has been intercepted by a third party despite what agreements were in place between Microsoft and their customers.
A journalist (of the WSJ no less) has no idea what is going on in their country?
The readers may not, hence the story. Also knowing in general doesn't mean knowing the details like having the phone being taken away to be cloned/bugged/address book checked or whatever it was taken away for. That's a detail I didn't expect. Did you already know about that detail? If not, why so critical?
You mean you can? Explain The Donald. I'll even settle for explaining Cruz who seems to be something from beyond the far side of crazy.
It's rhetorical, I expect we'd need a long chain of people with slightly different mindsets to pass a message on or a head trauma specialist to get anything more precise than "they tell lies that sell".
Why do you think there are Libertarians in North America and practically nowhere else?
Because they call themselves anarchists elsewhere:) Yes, I know, there are so many "isms" who like the word "Libertarian" that the word is effectively meaningless and people from anarchists to authoritarians who want the rich to rule like ancient Kings stick that label on themselves. It's a US label because the word "liberty" has been dumbed down to mean "good" and not anything that will stop you treating people that depend upon you as slaves.
Maybe if they see that they can't force you to supply a password, they won't "keep in you jail for a while."
Wishful thinking. Those days have passed and things are being run differently now. Treat it like a third world military checkpoint where those you are facing have both sticky fingers and power of life and death over you with little consequence to themselves and it won't be all that far from reality. If you don't want someone to see it or can't afford to lose the device it is on don't take it. Do you really want to be locked up for so long that the business trip is meaningless, or even get deported, or the non-zero risk of being injured while being detained just to show how tough you are to a guard? There is a long list of people being locked up for no reason, stuff being stolen and various other problems so the "it won't happen to me" factor reduces drastically once you go around deliberately acting in a way they see as suspicious.
"No thank you officer. I am not required to do so, and will not. Am I being detained?"
While not having a dark skin may save you from a beating and imprisonment if you say that on the street where you live to a cop it's not likely to work with the TSA. Isn't equality wonderful? You get treated as if you are black in the wrong place even with white skin if you piss off those ball squeezers.
I know this is slashdot, but the computers here are just a delivery system not the content. Dust off all those Martin Gardner puzzles in print or PDF, plus various other puzzles and you've got the same thing whether it is on a monitor, tablet or paper.
Or, in my own country (Belgium), being called whores and sexually assaulted?
Indeed. Think about how the same thing would happen to a local woman walking about topless (but would not happen in parts of Africa, South America etc) to get a bit of an understanding that the world is a big place and people do what we think is really stupid shit in other places but we don't notice the stupid shit we do ourselves.
Analogy - you are in a dark room with lit objects on the other side of the room and something heavy is on your foot but you can't see what it is. Gravitational effects tell us that things are there but it's too dark to see them.
Probably complete bullshit this time but remember that Enron got up to all kinds of immoral shit not that long ago. Being a "fortune 500 company" in the US does not always mean acting in a way where it's going to be on that list in more than the short term.
you forgot "that if anyone else not named 'Hillary Clinton' had done would have gone to prison"
Rice, Powell and a pile of others that also let classified emails get into unclassified places didn't. David Petraeus who sold secrets for sex didn't go to prison either.
Hillary has praised many dictators, including Putin, and supports Iran.
Reagan supported Iran with cold hard cash and he's seen as the equivalent of a Saint. Going back even more there's "good old Uncle Joe Stalin". People in politics just keep on saying this stuff. Look at how there is hardly a bad word for China for example.
I suggest you look at what very much appears to be blatant bribes from Pfizer associated with dropping the penalty against them or a pile of other things instead of such distractions which apply almost totally across the board. Who seriously was proposing getting involved in the Ukraine? Anyone?
Wikileaks has never been about support it's been about leaking incriminating material, which is why Assange has been hiding in an embassy toilet in fear of rendition to the US since back when Hillary would have been the one to give that order.
It's a fairly safe bet that Hillary herself was behind the molehill into a mountain situation that has Assange hiding in an embassy toilet in fear of rendition to the US.

So says the guy that didn't read sentence number two!
Hilarious!
Definitely, but The Donald wants to build a Wall Of Voodoo.

This may blow your mind, but Taylor Swift's last name really isn't "Swift".
It's Boat?

Refusing to hand over the phone would be considered a reasonable suspicion.
The TSA has you by the balls - frequently in a literal sense.

Back when I was a kid some "fundamentalist" Christian girls wore headscarves to school because their parents told them to. No fuss about that.
Indeed. Think about how the same thing would happen to a local woman walking about topless (but would not happen in parts of Africa, South America etc) to get a bit of an understanding that the world is a big place and people do what we think is really stupid shit in other places but we don't notice the stupid shit we do ourselves.
Setting the bar pretty low there!
Dan Quale, come back, all is forgiven!
Spiro Agnew we need you!

Trump pushing that line and dragging his family around really looks like he's getting President and King mixed up.
Reagan supported Iran with cold hard cash and he's seen as the equivalent of a Saint.

Who seriously was proposing getting involved in the Ukraine? Anyone?
yeah, but these days the plurality of people are independents and not actually democrats or republicans. A fact that both parties like to ignore.
The 2 party system is a joke
So much so that a speech by Obama's wife only needs the word "dignity" to be removed to work perfectly when used by Trump's wife :)
