What are you saying? One side of those trades TOTALLY operated in their own best interest..they totally ripped off the banks by lying to them.
Then the banks operated in their own best interest by demanding large amounts of money directly from the gov't to save themselves from their own greed.
The sad thing is regular people have been tricked into believing that it was all done in our best interest.
Yes, there is a reason to collect all (well, most) of the children in one place...baby sitting. Right now, there are LOTS and lots of people where they are either single parents or where both parents have to work, and you can't just leave the kid at home.
So, the kid has to go to school, and the 'tech' has to make sure they sit still and watch the indoctrination video.
The 'tech' is a babysitter, and depending on the school, may have a weapon [primarily to protect themselves]. The lessons will be dumb'd down, and the few children who stand out intellectually will be removed from these 'classrooms' and placed in a separate, real classroom, with a real, live 'super' teacher.
The points mentioned will be how the system will be sold to the public, and, as usual, not even remotely be similar to reality. The only true point is that it will be equality to education. 95-99% of all children will receive an equally cheap, crappy education.
They will fail to mention in the sales pitch that the wealthy will not have their children go to these schools or that more advanced kids will be separated out from the rest of the kids [even more than now (not more kids, but more separate)].
Just as a guess, they are starting down this road right now using 'discovery learning', where instead of the teacher, you know, teaches things, the kids have to discover what they want to learn (so the teachers role is minimized).
This system removes the teacher altogether, replacing them with canned video's. I'm sure there will be cameo's by music and movie stars talking about 'current events' in order to keep the children more interested.
It's called bundling. Microsoft can't say which specific patents are being violated because they aren't completely sure. Some they do know, others they think may be, depending on how Android is configured and what apps are installed.
Instead, they say "we know you are violating a bunch of our patents. Our one-time offer is a license to 1000's of our patents [but not all, as we still reserve the right to ask for more later] for an up-front fee, money for already-shipped devices, and a per-unit royalty in perpetuity."
And it's great that you finally came out of the closet. Now we all know, for sure, that Anonymous Coward is gay. Sure, we all just assumed it was true all along, but now we know.
I believe the idea is that they are 'single-use' devices, so...you get to keep buying new ones for the rest of your life, otherwise you are locked out of everything.
Now there's incentive...do you buy groceries and eat outside, or buy a new password and go hungry. Or dig through your shit and be disgusted.
And they'll make sure it corrodes from acid in your digestive tract so you can't fully 'reuse' it...
Or worse, an Amazon web page. It will peg one CPU at 100% constantly refreshing itself in an effort to better track itself, even when it's not the visible tab.
Hello, why do think the company so graciously provides free water vending machines. You can either get a cup from the big bottle or an individual bottle if you're a prude.

you had me at "exaggerating"

The vendor is the owner. You only 'license' the AI.
Rihanna will tell me how to feel about this.
wrong domain. should be @dice.com
Pretty sure Pandora has to as well...(besides also paying the 'performer')
History is written by the victor's...corporations are winning...

This isn't for AP Physics.

Well, it's not entirely pointless, as you can still use the pre-loaded apps and use usb to sync your music and movies to it.
But yeah, it's kinda stupid.

The IPO is next week. You'll want to sell before close.
I believe the standard reply the BND office gave to the Chancellor's office is "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" or the German equivalent.
Sorry, but the Soviet Gulag found you.

You are going to be the first one thrown in jail for that racist, stereotypical, commercial remark.
That's 50% of people who actually vote, so it's what 25% or so of the eligible voting population, which excludes minors, but includes dead people.
They get arrested, just like everybody else.
Seriously, why bring gay people into this issue... ;-)

Sounds like it's very important for the child to learn to protect him/herself from you ASAP, so....good job!
Just trying to help out his friends at the NSA, cuz everybody else is being so mean to them, trying to encrypt everything...
Better answer, because if you don't, he's coming to your home!

Only applies on the third Tuesday after Easter on a leap year, in that specific county in Nebraska, between 6 and 7 PM local time.
