how is a company... supposed to know whether it should preserve or delete data?
It's easy. You do both, just like it says.
OH, but you BROKE the law? FINE then:-) , sucks to be you. We've got to help pay our salaries, legal system, and country, don't you know? Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
What? There's an inconsistency somewhere? Don't worry, we'll add in another law to "help out".

Yeah, like a few messages above: the (DRM-allow) servers are overloaded. Kinda like Day 1 on a REALLY popular game when the servers won't actually let you play your game.
Peak oil? Peak coal? I've said we've been at peak intelligence for awhile now. Kids don't have to think, students have been taught to regurgitate facts and Google is quite good at answering questions. Now the answer being correct or incorrect, that's literally besides the point. If I FEEL that it's a right answer, then it is. Don't disrespect me just because I'm stupid!
You must conform to MY way of thinking to keep from hurting my feelings.)
Also label warnings on everything. Don't drink bleach! Don't eat batteries! (But add it to chicken and it gives that tang you can't get anywhere else.)
Patents. "Sorry, I've got a patent on thoughts, you'll have to quit doing that."
Laws. It's illegal under section 1495.24 paragraph 3 to help that wild animal. It's also illegal under section 1495.24 paragraph 4 to NOT help that wild animal. (Laws generally seem to be individual reactions to problems and not as a cohesive whole. Someone should compile all of them together to see how many logic errors they contain.)
Basically, life is so easy in the US (I'm waiting for the complaints) that we can worry about having 998 genders while we munch on our "fries with that".
Let's drop some people (Me included -- I don't actually realize how good we've got it either!) over to North Korea or one of the lesser Russian states and see how easy it becomes.
NOW, BACK TO ROBOTS:, I say we build them and let nature take it's course (The quick/smart/lucky ones live.) People liked Thanos killing half of everyone to save half of everyone? Well here we go. Or to save the planet simplify matters even further -- kill everyone with (without) a penis. The problem is solved within two generations.

And in other news, eggs are bad for you. Oh, I've just been given a note. Eggs are now good for you. Oh, another note. Make that bad. What? Now they're good again? Are we all eating the same eggs here? What do you MEAN they're bad again? I can't even finish a sentence without you... and now they're good. Are you looking at a stoplight or something? And now a message BAD AGAIN from GOOD our I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO SAY IT sponsor.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
No, I'm afraid YOU'RE the one confused. You just expect it to be the common English language definition of the word. In this case Marketing has gotten involved, and it's not English anymore, even though the glyphs would appear to be so. Just think of it as Advanced Emoji.
After all, they FEEL "unlimited" actually has a value of like 28GB, and who are YOU to completely invalidate their feelings? Corporations have people too -- you HORRIBLE person you!

A decade ago, I used to work for Verizon Wireless in IT support. One of the things they told us (meaning sales and customer support, although we heard it too) was that Every Customer Was Supposed to Incur at least a $50 a month charge on their account. If not, you were to "make it so" by helping the customer make the correct decision if at ALL possible.
Don't know, but I bet that amount as gone up instead of being rescinded.
I didn't realize that fonts could specify brown as a mandatory color. Learn something new every day.
Now if Adobe successfully brings Smell-O-Vision to fonts like the movie theaters tried to do with movies decades ago, I'm never using printers again. And here I thought that printer ink costs a lot -- just wait, you can soon actually include the smell of success or failure in your documents.
Wonder how that would work with facsimiles? And even Clippy: "It looks like you're quitting your job. Would you like smell some extra failure with that?"
The way things are going, Kaspersky will become the victim
Hell, they already ARE. I wouldn't blame them if they did: "You've already judged and convicted us as the bad guys? Then let us show you how it's actually done. What have we got to lose, your trust?"
under the impression that I already pay for high-speed internet access,
Ahhh yes, there's the fallacy again. You pay your ISP for high-speed access to their network, and then the bill also includes egress access to the general internet.
For normal ISPs, their network connects you to the outgoing peer that connects you to the actual internet. Those peons don't have enough resources invested to make you stay around their network, so you have to access elsewhere.
For great ISPs like Comast, Verizon, and the defunct AOL, your high-speed access is simply your window into to our glorious on-line world. Why on Earth would you want to go elsewhere. (No really, WHY? STOP it.) Our network contains glorious, copious amounts of never-ending entertainment that we tie back to your bill, and the best part is that it's free! At least to us that is; we've got all of the already servers sitting on our networks and pay for the content anyway, so the more we can makeXXXX ahem, let you stay within our network the better for us.
For that small eventuality when you need to access the general internet to, say, connect to your bank to pay our bill, we graciously provide an egress to the general overall internet where "everyone else" lives. But don't dally outside too long, because there's GREAT stuff already located on our network where we also store your bill, and after all, we have to pay for internet egress access, y'know? That stuff gets expensive. The text and few graphics your bank has? Fine. Audio, and then video streaming? To the outside world?? STOP it, that stuff's bothersome, our 1200 baud modem to the outside world gets really hot sometimes, y'know? Our 10G and experimental 100G blades interconnect just fine, but do you know how hard it is to FIND a modem now-a-days? US Robotics isn't making them anymore and eBay seems to have supply problems as well. So just say on OUR side of the network and everyone'll be much happier.
So in conclusion, connect to your ISP and just stay there. We might or might not bill your for bytes, but if you egress then WE'LL ALSO be billed for them. Friends don't make other friends incur extra costs. Just hang around our network and billing services, we'll all be much happier if you do. That's a nice internet you've got there, shame if something were to happen to it.
-- Your loving ISPs: Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink, CoX.
Pshaw, amateurs. Try 4x24x7, and that's on the devices I can see right now, NM the server farm in the background. And let's not talk about the open tabs in the background (or the saved bookmarks -- oh, the HUMANITY!My eyes! The goggles do nothing!)
I've already got a copyright -- it's on the concept of STUPID. Send me your checks now and avoid my impending lawsuit. Right now I'm running a slight increase for congressmen for the next few weeks -- contact me soon before it's too late!
They will be peril-sensitive and go dark in emergencies, to reduce passenger stress levels.
Why go dark? Just show a recorded normal average scene. "Everything's fine, just look out the window. No the engine did not fall off, we always fly at a 30 degree tilted angle. And notice the lovely sunrise even though it is midnight local time."
I think his point is: Only 19 successful attempts per month is the average?
If you're a bank, I'd think (hope!) that you have 0 successful attacks per month, and hope that you have a rounded 0.0 successful attacks per year.
Also, you'd want to weight them per customer. Someone successfully grabbing an account from a rooted unprotected cell phone is NOT the same thing as grabbing all of the accounts from the mainframe even though they're both a "single" attack.
Jesus Christ. Another? What a surprise. I feel like putting all of my details out in public on my own website.
Why? Don't go to those other guys to get my info as it might be incorrect. At least retrieve it from the authoritative source where it's supposed to be right.
I could also host a comment section in case anyone discovers something actually IS incorrect. Hell, you're already using my data, you might as well help me correct any inadvertent errors while you're at it.
By the way, the security PIN for my debit card really is pi. You'd actually be surprised though at how many digits they will accept.
The OS is simply a support for something called a web browser in which people try to replicate what the OS does anyways but in the most complex and resource-hungry way possible.
A Brand New! plug-in coming SOON to a browser near you: SystemD.CRX (or XPI for FF).
You just THOUGHT your browser was slow and bloated now. Just wait -- for all of you that leave your browser up for weeks at a time, this will start it perhaps 1 microsecond faster while completely changing Every Single One of the native plug-in APIs and configuration files.
Just imagine what you can do with all of that time saved! Soon we'll ALL have the same identically-responding browser. A glorious utopia will have then been reached, where everything fails everywhere! (Expect for those heathen holdouts still using lynx and gopher)
I have lost any remaining interest in the franchise
Agree. I lost interest after the 3rd movie, Episode 6. I've seen Ep 1 and 2 -- my friends drug me to them (at least I got free popcorn) -- but haven't bothered keeping track of any updates.
"The Force" must be strong with my wallet, as I still have my money for NOT seeing them. (I haven't even pirate-watched them. You know you've missed an audience member when they won't even bother to watch your movie for free, never mine purchasing it.)
I'm just waiting for the V rewrite -- "Luke, I am your other mother." Later on, in VI, the Emperor can say, "Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the LGBT side will be complete." They've modified everything else, why not that as well?
Well nuts. It seems Climate Change has now escaped into outer space. If it reaches the moon we're all in trouble -- where are we going to find enough pizza crust to hold all of that hot, gooey cheese?
So I'm creating and typing a document in Microsoft Word on my Windows 10 PC with "Built-in Telemetry That's Good For You" (TM). Suddenly the phone rings. "Hello?"
"Hi, this is Clippy. I see that you're typing a document. Do you need some help?"
I'ts not just Trump -- don't all people in power do this? I thought this was just SOP -- I'm busy, I've already hired someone else to worry with keeping me safe so I can think about other things. (Not that that excuses them, but offloading things is their rationale.)

Clinton responded on March 8, 2009:
Against the advice of the security hawks, I still do carry my berry but am prohibited from using it in my office, where I spend most of my time when I'm not on a plane or in a "no coverage" country.
