The main point people have for staying with Windows is gaming.
If all game data - not just movements, but graphics, controls etc. have to be constantly streamed from THE CLOUD!!!!1! to your dumb terminal, how much fun do you think those games would be? How did that project Sony was doing a few years ago to let you play games online like that go?
Very true, it's left entirely open to interpretation and further research.
Personally I suspect the issue is to be found with the stress of feeling like you have to be at your best 24/7 because all your friends (which at that age is more important than anything else) are constantly watching and silently judging. I could be wrong, of course, but it does sound plausible to me.
From what I can tell, the viewpoint you're supposed to have today is that whites, and white men in particular, are scum of the earth and Allah is here to save us all through cleansing fire.
If you disagree with any of that, you're a bigoted sexist misogynist racist Nazipig who diddles little boys.
It might simply be a case of enough people being involved in that one topic, rather than being blind to twenty other issues. If those twenty issues are spread out over the 600k all angry at EA, at maybe a couple of issues of interest per person, that still leaves 60k interested people per issue. We can't ALL argue against pollution, abuse, racism, hate, bigotry etc.
Slashdot is apparently now the TV guide. While sure, Star Trek is popular with the nerd segment frequenting the site (referencing the News for Nerds tagline, not being rude), so are many other shows.
When does SHIELD start back up? 12 Monkeys? Where's the article about the between-seasons cancellation of Dark Matter, leaving it to end on a massive cliffhanger? What makes Star Trek so special it gets its own article about how long the mid-season break is?!
How did it take you more than three minutes to read the summary, only to come up with a quote that does not explain HOW they can exempt themselves from the law?
I mean, I can vote to exempt myself from shoplifting laws, but umm... that's not gonna work.
If all it takes is access to plug in a USB dongle, that's a different kind of access than being able to open up the machine and tinker with it. Secretary turns her back for a moment? Plug it in while you can.
Hell, with the tendency for people to plug in USB keys found on the street still to this day, that's all that would be required to exploit these flaws in an otherwise impenetrable building.
True, but on Twitter your post would boil down to something akin to, "140 chars R enuf bcuz it is limit @ SMS" and maybe, if you're a good user, a link to the SMS specs that no one would click anyway. No further explanations or dissemination, just a sound bite with little to no context and use.
But where is the camera pointed? The door? The kitchen? The living room? The bedroom?
Imagine it's not a laptop, which will be relatively hard to hide as you leave through the video-taped front door, but a cell phone. Or if this is a house rather than an apartment, what's to say the back door or garden door wasn't left unlocked for the delivery guy's friends to come back an hour later?
Then it only makes sense that Mozilla are already now telling the Dutch government what the consequences will be of their actions, while it's still possible to simply abandon the proposed law.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but your IQ was 50 before the name change too, as evidenced by the fact that you changed your name to Hognoxious Turkeydance Mightymartian.
I live in Europe, trollerick. In fact I bet I visit other countries a lot more frequently than you at roughly twice a month. But hey, it's north-to-south, so I don't cross time zone borders.
That seems to be... pretty stupid and short-sighted. If you're not paying monthly, but get the updates free of charge as included in the original purchase price for the TV (or phone, or IoT Fridge or whatever), then it's still a real product.
You sound like one of those "It doesn't happen to me" guys, which is great. You don't get a fucked up sleep schedule for several weeks? Wonderful. You don't get hungry an hour earlier/later than the clock says you ought to? Good for you. Obviously then no one does.
You didn't get in a car accident today? No one else did. Your house didn't burn down? No houses at all burned down. You didn't die? Worldwide immortality achieved!

Also add up all the money lost to all other kinds of fun.
Ban fun for the good of the economy! Everyone must be mindless and willless drones!

Since you use RTS as a base of your hypothesis, remember what happened when a game company turned a successful series of RTS games into an MMORPG?
Yes, I'm talking about Warcraft.
Bilbo was Sauron all along?
It sounds like the factories were shut down for being too polluting.
In China.
Are you sure the processing can be done in a clean, let alone profitable, way?
Ohhh, so we only talk about the GOOD news?

give em Linux and tell them to figure out how to run Windows games
And then tell the rest of the world how he did it.
Yeah, how DARED Pai and Trump do this back in 2005!

No, by general consensus. People just stopped making them.
We had those in Denmark, too. They were hilarious, right up until the effectively last one made. Never heard them again since.
The rhyme?
They rhymed 'mom and pa' to 'Scandinavian Star', a cruise liner that burned out with 159 dead.
Suddenly the jokes weren't all that funny anymore.

The entire problem is that you remember what it is SUPPOSED to say, and so won't notice if 'tricks' is spelled 'ticks'.

There is an awesomely delicious irony to linking to a Youtube video about disconnecting from Google.
