Are you sure there is no chance of something going on under that table? It looks a lot like me that in San Francisco Uber are doing something an individual would be fined for if they tried it. When a law is IGNORED for some and not for others that's a bit of a sign isn't it? Where I am Uber has been hit with $1.7 million in fines so far and are just treating it as a cost of business - exactly as if they were paying bribes in a third world shithole. Such contempt for the law that others have to follow is annoying.
Well, I don't know that the individual expressly posted that a suspicious update
I've had the opposite sort of "suspicious update" on a couple of machines - one that suspects it's not a real copy of windows so that you have to repeat product activation, then roll back updates and do a whole lot of new updates. How many times do you want to reboot today?
Good point, though back then I had the misfortune to have to deal with "shelf mount" servers while contracting for a place too cheap to use anything other than normal PCs in normal cases for servers, even the MS Exchange servers. They had a room full of shelving with PCs lined up side by side.
I don't know why you want to act is if there are only two people on the internet. Several people have replied to you instead of one and you seem to be mixing them up. The original idiot however was referring to IBM selling stuff used for an immoral purpose and their mistake about the name had little or nothing to do with their actual point. But yes, computational tools were called names such as "tabulators", even a "predictor" for anti-aircraft use while a "computer" was a person.
Let's turn that back on you - is Uber violating the law where you live but no action has been taken against them? What does that make where you live by your own (very stupid) definition?
Yet it was done by putting down where I live instead of addressing the issue in any way at all. Is your life truly that pathetic that you feel a need to express dominance over strangers in that way?
People are not stupid. Some don't vote because they know it is a futile act. Some make it further, to the realization that the act of voting actually validates a broken system. Both end up withdrawing their support the only way they can: by going on strike.
That only works in bad SF novels with a political message. If more people took part it would be far less of a broken system.
As I wrote very clearly above - they supplied the tools and the name of the tool is not really important, it is that it was supplied. The other bit is about you not having a monopoly on idiocy in this thread, as should be very clear to anyone without a "tiny little mind" so I don't get why you want to pretend that you cannot work out what I have written even when it agrees with your own point!
Both. The childishly simplistic all or nothing shit you are suggesting is more along the lines of "a tiny mind". IBM did what they did but so did several US banks and a large number of US companies while the news was coming out about rounding up the Jews from every major media outlet.
It is being fixed where I live and Uber is getting fined and forced to play by the rules or get out so your insult is misplaced. What was the point of your insult anyway? If you are just doing it to try to prove you are better than some stranger on the internet then that is a very pitiful state of affairs.
When did ratting out the American public become patriotic ? Does she have no morals ?
A couple of decades after selling weapons to Iran and Hezbolla were patriotic. Declarations of patriotism are frequently about wrapping up filth in a flag.
Sometimes I think the entire purpose of the bunch of crazies in that circus is to make a third Bush look like the good option - but that's assuming far more competence than is likely.
The thing that did it for me is when Oliver North wrapped himself in a flag to get his photo taken, then had "Patriot" written over it after selling weapons to Iran and Hezbolla while embezzling a bit on the side for a convertible and airconditioning for his house. For a while that was the definition of "Patriot" for one wing of the Republican party despite it looking a hell of a lot like treason and theft to me. So when it's laid on really thick it can mean an utterly evil prick wrapped up in a flag to hide how disgusting he is.
She probably sees a chance since even Trump and tollbooth guy haven't been kicked out for being dead wood. If there's enough "anybody but Hillary" votes even someone as wildly unsuitable as Carly to be in charge of anything has a chance. How on earth did she get to run HP in the first place? That seems almost as unlikely as being the last one standing when the current circus is over.
I'm not. I was talking about freshly captured people with current intelligence.
What's the use of torturing them to get them to sign a confession you've prepared earlier? Oh that's right - a show trial and someone to pin something on so the person who ordered the torture can advance their career. That's how torture "works". Not even the USSR did it to get information, they had plenty of experience to show that it was useless for that purpose.
Huh - I didn't know retailers sold rack mount servers...
Some are starting to which is a very nice development. Just over $1k for a 3U box good enough to run some accounting stuff for half a dozen people to use at once.
Consider how he couldn't even get the prison at GITMO closed after announcing it - there's a lot of pushback from an astonishing number of spooks and hangers on.
Doesn't matter where he was born. His mother was a citizen.
Since that is not seen as being important it demonstrates which century leading Republicans have their heads in. I don't know how many years it's going to take to clear away the dead wood. With tollbooth guy and Trump still in the race it's looking like a complete joke.
apparently the press hates Hillary as much as they loved Bill
Citizen Murdoch liked Bill. Do you think he keeps his newspaper empire going because he likes losing money, or because he likes the influence it provides that the profitable cable, movies etc do not?
That time wasting stunt got nothing done apart from boosting his reputation. Mission accomplished. He gets to keep his job a bit longer without actually changing anything. What is he going to do when something actually matters? We don't know and since he's such an outsider he's unlikely to ever be in a position where we can find out. He's a seat warmer drawing salary until he retires and despite bold words he's unlikely to ever be anything else. If he really wanted to make a difference he would found his own party instead of being a noisy nobody in a party that is never going to do what he suggests.

There's a lot of that about.

You do KNOW that the other side has Bernie Sanders as well right ?
I didn't list the entire circus of Republicans either, just the dead wood that would not be there under normal circumstances.
As I wrote very clearly above - they supplied the tools and the name of the tool is not really important, it is that it was supplied.

They are using the illusion of ride-sharing to do an end run around taxi regulations.

Wasn't she in charge when there was the scandal about spying on HP employees, or was that someone else?

It may as well be predetermined because so few Americans do their duty as citizens to even bother to turn up and vote.
