Now we STILL have to remove the ads to reclaim the 50% or more of screen space they claim on many sites, allow sites to load faster (especially on slow or datacapped connections), and generally avoid having epileptic seizures from all the flashing gifs and other crap that still floats around out there.
Would you tell people whose hobby was collecting stamps that email does EVERYTHING a letter does except create a need for stamps to be made?
Would you tell people who build model cars, ships and airplanes that a 3D printer does EVERYTHING their model building sets do except let them put things together since the model is printed in its complete version?
What Microsoft is essentially saying is that your computer in no way, shape or form belongs to you. Not the software, not the hardware, not the decisions about when and how to interact with it.
I'm not touching updates until AT LEAST September, following several confirmations from reliable independent sources that no more Win10 installers are going out.
I complain about people showing an absolute disregard for the comfort, expense and attention of the people around them, and you call ME the anti social one?
Buoyancy making the tunnel 'want' to move towards the surface, but since it's secured to structures on the bottom it doesn't get to come all the way up.
I suppose if that's the goal your phone is a good target, seeing as it comes in regular contact with both your hands and your face (in case you snort the stuff).
And who would even notice, never mind care, if an AC comment was deleted anyway.

There are roughly 18,000 pictures. 1,000,000,000 / 18,000 = 55555,55.
A bit of rounding suggests they're being sued for 50,000 per image.
Look up public domain images.
Pick some you like.
Use them.
Get threatening letters from Getty for using them.
How the FUCK does that not hurt the average person who just wanted to use a few free images?
I'm pretty sure this would be a non-signed non-disclosure agreement, which would be thrown out in the court.
They are basically going to fine companies for breach of a contract these companies have not signed and in some cases may not even be aware of.

Would a key to the safe in which you keep your secret accounting be self-incrimination?
Boss of Company has suspected Employee of writing a really bad review but has no evidence.
Employee is suddenly confirmed as a member of GlassDoor.com.
Employee is fired.
It's called Navel Gazing, not Navy Gazing.

This is where I'm curious, was this a tongue-in-cheek bit of humor or was this post actually deleted?

I was born in '82, you insensitive clod!
You need to take a deep breath and eat some ice cream before your next post.
