QTF. I agree completely. I've researched ReFS a bit and have read about horror stories, even as recently as this year, of people having totally corrupted volumes because of some unrecoverable error. MS in their hubris assumed that ReFS couldn't fail, so they never developed diagnostics or tools to solve those edge-cases. Whoops! Definitely not production-ready. Too bad APFS is closed-source and proprietary.
It depends on the brand of tape used in both cases. You probably used something of decent quality like Maxell or TDK. If Billy Bob Smith recorded his son's fifth birthday on some bargain-basement brand he got at the local SuperValu, he's probably SOL. The magnetised flakes have probably long since become separated from the backing material, and he'll have to shell out a lot to retrieve anything usable.
You're carrying the analogy just a tad far, there. I can't think of a single society in which it's a consensus or even majority position that teaching your children about religion is considered child abuse. Sure, you have people like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, but those two are considered militant even by the standards of most atheists.
This might have been a decent prospect if they had offered it a year or two ago. Now, ZTE and Xiaomi have offerings that provide way more bang for the buck. Pass!
many with some form of mental illness, and many with substance addictions.
Many, also, happen to be veterans. The Department of Veterans Affairs should be doing far more than it currently is to help solve this problem. Republicans historically love to send people off to fight (after all, war is great for business!), but aren't too keen on taking care of them when they get back -- unless it happens to be their own children, of course.
Things like this that are of such cultural significance shouldn't be subject to the vagaries of Wall Street and its hedge-fund douchebros. It should be spun off into a non-profit to which other entities can contribute donations. Google can provide the seed funding and get a nice fat tax write-off.
Not to be pedantic, but humans are Great Apes (the other members being orangutans, gorillas, and chimpanzees). There is only one extant member of the lesser ape group: the gibbon.
100% enforcement would result in much if not most of the population imprisoned.
To some of the more nefarious members of the Powers That Be, this might be a clandestine part of their agenda. In an era of environmental devastation, increasing income inequality, &c., some pretext for imprisoning vast swathes of the population might be exactly what many of the real people in power want.
Just because I used a Republican senator exempli gratia doesn't mean that I don't understand or am ignoring the bipartisan nature of the controversy. #kthxbye
Right. But for some reason, older politicians view 'on the Internet' as some exotic and alien phenomenon. They think that because emails are sent 'over the Intertubes' that they don't deserve the same protections that a letter written longhand and sent via the USPS does. Younger people who grew up around these modern technologies experience them as daily realities, and therefore no different from older forms of communication. That was my point.
Agreed. Those with a legitimate use-case for spoofing (LEO's, PI's, skip-tracers, &c.) should be required to obtain and maintain a licence to use spoofing. In no way, shape, or form should the general public be allowed to spoof phone numbers. Anyone who spoofs illicitly should be charged federally with wire fraud and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. That would cut down on this bullshit.
Do you know how much CO2 is generated to make concrete
How much CO2 is generated mining ore to retrieve lead and other metals present in a CRT, or drilling and refining the petroleum to make virgin plastic, as opposed to reusing what has already been extracted from the earth? This is to say nothing of turning a patch of land into a lunar landscape after the mining company has moved elsewhere.

They never had any intention of it being secure for you, just themselves.
... and the three-letter agencies when they come a-knockin'.
Depending on the horsepower of your machine, could you run an older release of macOS in a VM? Or does licensing prevent this?
What's wrong with sticking with the OS release and application versions you have currently? Or installing some 32-bit Linux distro?

The books of the Bible were passed down orally for centuries before anyone even thought to write them down.
Exactly. Pizza is like sex. Even when it's bad, it's still damn good.

There are far fewer than 7 billion households on the planet.
Or is every head of household who owns a router, printer, or NAS supposed to spend $15 per year on a domain?
You're griping about $15 annually? Seriously?

Precisely. Policy wonks here in the USA would do well to study the Mittelstand phenomenon in Germany and adopt an American equivalent.
Thank you, Colonel Jessup, sir!
IMO the cheapest way to provide working space to a lot of people is to allow them to telecommute.
Yeah, but then PHB's wouldn't get to micro-manage and strut about attempting to compensate for their small penises.
Windows 8.1 was released on October 17, 2013. It's almost 3.5 years old.
They can always back up their data and load a low-footprint distro of Linux like Puppy or Linux Lite.
