...generally make everyone think that they do some good. And banks still fail - with all of your money, sometimes.
If they don't it is not because of regulations. It is just because they have better return this way.
There are both online and offline communities where bad tone is repressed in a variety of ways with moderate or up to absolute success. Then again, enforcement is expensive and in a lot of cases, not a necessity. When such rules are not enforced, you enter at your own risk. Some online communities are pretty much ghetto-like and most of them are clearly marked as such.
AFAIK, in Russia, Apple products are generally not considered "masculine enough" long before Cook's relevations. For many russians, i-devices are girl-only. (Well, for the same those russians, anything expensive enough is a somehow "gay" when owned by a man or somehow related to prostitution, when owned by a woman... socialism, that is.)
There is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... - as serious as a food can be.
Someone can argue that pastafarianism is newer than jedi-ism, but then again, every single religion postulates that it exists since the Creation.
The secret to raising a smart kids is being a smart parent in the first place. If you are not smart enough, well,... no one is. But you can still try harder. Learning is cheap. Consequences are not.
p.s. it is perfectly viable for a literate individual to not use an antivirus. It is also possible to not use AV on a PC in a corporate environment, but it has its implications. Then again, on a mailserver, a non-intrusive AV scanner (i.e. not adding 7 lines of bullshit at the end of every legitimate email) has a pretty good hassle-to-benefit ratio.
In Europe, gas prices are about 2x US => manual is standard. 95+% of the cars in use are manual.
We still pay premium for the automatic.
Since pretty much everyone can drive manual, (1) few automatics are offered outside the luxury class and (2) hybrids are total nonsense here.
I never, ever had this kind of management issues with HDDs, CDs, DVDs or even 5.25" FDDs, back then. ZIP & MO drives were damn unreliable, but nothing more.
And, if it is a management issue, then, please, a cheaper managers for me, a six-pack. There is no better ones around anyway, even when the money are not an issue.
They are not only useless at home. They are completely useless as a backup solution in the first place. They refuse to read in 95% of their intended usage scenarios, including, but not limited to, incompatible/failed tape drives, missing/obsolete/buggy/outright stupid software, degraded/stretched/torn off tape, mislabeled/misordered media and so on. And then again, they cost $$$$$, because PHB's keep on buying them. And they do, because they like solid-looking stacks of backups. Even if no one prescribing them in the backup plans had ever tried to restore a single file in the last 20 years. Or ever.
Hard disks are good. They are also good for backups. They are cheap, they sell them in the shop down the street, they work 99.99% of their intended usage scenarios, do very well in every other usage scenario, and they can be easily connected to any computer, just to see what's in.
Any SATA or Ethernet, for that matter, cable will do it's SATA or Ethernet digital work.When it's done, it's done - 1's and 0's are moved where they should. Then again, there is an electromagnetic noise around them. In audio world, noise could enter in many ways. Noise, million times less than the signal is still perfectly audible. Billion times - well, not perfectly, but still audible (even not by everyone).
So, a the real challenge in digital audio is not the digital part, but making the digital one to not mess the analog part instead. This is much harder and involves a lot of work on both the digital and the analog side. $500 ethernet cables - well, at least I can't hear THAT much. SATA vs SuperSATA - well, maybe...

In unrelated news, Mozilla cuts off digital signatures. Even if they have millions of users.
Corruption and mafia ran pretty well in Stalin era.
He is not very tall, so not a problem. BTW, "putin" in bulgarian sounds funny, too. But not so innocent.
It is not practical for _everything_. Then again, cash is just as vulnerable to theft, inflation, loss or destruction.
...generally make everyone think that they do some good. And banks still fail - with all of your money, sometimes. If they don't it is not because of regulations. It is just because they have better return this way.
Me. We had a few bank runs here. Cash is not practical. No technology is perfect.
Ate them?
Now, what if they stop removing features not existing in Chrome just for the sake of not competing? I mean You, removers of crypto.signText...

Being rich is a family value everywhere. Being a successful technocrat in Russia is tradition-approved, too.
What an optimist... This is not a pretext at all ! You see a clear act of self-censorship. The law mentioned has a lot of abusive potential.

The ability to teleport 1-2 tons of complex machinery intact wherever you want renders nuclear weapons pretty much useless.
Biology systems are a bunch of signal processings and feedbacks. Someone just had to read the proper math books.

Dead as a security layer - not really. Also not dead as a profit source for other companies.
Born in the USSR or Russia, aren't you? Keep in mind that not everyone learned the same history lessons at school.
I know at least 1 more country where Vodafone operates (besides US), mandating "transparent access" to some government body.
