really? why? They did so successfully. They literally sold box cds as indicated. They are selling their software, even if people are paying for support.
dual licensing is a licensing issue. Nothing about free software prevents you from making money off it, that argument has never been true. Look at redhat.
Is it even a remotely good idea to keep that many batteries in a single location? Are lithium ion batteries really that stable? I thought they can be prone to rupture, etc?
It's not that there's no ways to verify this (there are plenty), it's just that they've picked all the wrong ones. That doesn't excuse the behavior, either.
That's my point. Not "people can do what they want free world wharrgarbl republican blah blah". But "this is absolutely the wrong approach and completely contrary to any even remote concept of best practices within use of a technology".
the problem is, demanding that data is deleted means *nothing*. Absolutely nothing. It could still be backed up (you can't exactly verify), or it could have been hosted somewhere. So they deleted the "public copy". And? Or the original of said photo, since it had to come from somewhere, still exists. that's not a right to forget. It's an attempt to imply you can demand something which you cannot enforce. That's not to say that companies shouldn't respect your privacy and/or a right for it, but that this is absolutely the wrong if not completely dishonest way of implying that this takes care of that.
Demands mean nothing if they aren't enforceable - in this case, they easily aren't.
nah, it's more reality. The whole "Right to be forgotten" in the EU was basically believing in a magical world that doesn't exist. If you de-list something, is it gone? Of course not. Should you be able to sue the daylights out of someone who dares host something about you, that you don't like? absolutely not.
So while their approach is terrible (and implies basically that they're collecting data about you and won't let you ask that to be removed), the whole "right to be forgotten" is all but willingly pulling wool over your own eyes.
This has nothing to do with what you said. Bobbied is correct.
Look, I hate cops. I think cops are generally corrupt as shit, we have too many, they are paid too well, and in rare cases are unappreciated/underappreciated. We need to get rid of probably 25% cops nationwide, if you ask me. But in this example, it's not the cops at fault. It's the stupid fucking guy who started talking, and then magically only exercised his right to remain silent *after* he started talking. If you don't talk at all? That's fine. If you talk and then shut up on a specific question? That's what the dumbass in question did. And so the court said "yeah, you can't do that".
If you walk around with your mentality - assuming that all cops are out to get you or something? then you deserve being treated like shit when you give cops suspicious glances for daring to walk down the street.
In comparison, I'm not afraid to find a cop and ask for directions. You know, don't treat people like shit or expect them to, and maybe they won't treat you like shit either. Even corrupt cops are not going to just magically come after you if all you do is manage to ask them for directions.
This isn't difficult. If you're being questioned, you say "I'm exercising my right to remain silent" and don't say a fucking word.
how can that befuddle you? that's literally it, at the end of the day. Whether you're in a traffic stop or being arrested, it applies the same at all times. If you're being arrested, you ask to speak to your lawyer. Are you really that daft?
you're not obligated to respond to any question as soon as you state you intend to remain silent.
Extremist feminists? what the fuck is that? Feminists *support* nudity as it's a part of equality, which fits into the agenda of feminism. It is extremist religions (such as christianity in the US) which bring about body policing and shame shit. Extremist feminists aren't behind this stuff, it's the ridiculous parents that fall for the "protect the children" and "protect us from terrorists" shit, the majority (not all) of which represent the fear of change/intertia against change that was brought about by older generations and intentionally passed on to their children to fear the same change, etc.
I guarantee you that merely putting cameras inside your home would easily subject you to being found illegal by many laws in any state in the entire US.
I don't think you understand even the smallest shred of why this shit matters. There is nothing you can do that would stop other people from wanting to look at you, because merely posting this online they could probably extrapolate into "terrorist threat/subversive of the US/rebellious against the US" and you'd be gone.
let me give you a small tidbit as to how many US parties respect our rights and our constitution. It's a number slightly less than 1, and it's an integer. There are very, very few individuals in any party that do respect them, and the majority does not.
apparently I have a shitload of typos lately. Yes, that is what I meant. There are still things that are exclusive to windows, but not much. Even AD/ADFS is not windows anymore.
Honestly? 8 works fine. For users that can adapt, it's just fine as an OS. Metro is still an abomination, but it won't stop you from general functionality. However, since the majority of users cannot adapt and/or are not as techie, 8 becomes a gigantic piece of shit, especially considering how windows 7 was a significant improvement whereas 8 is just "hi new UI, same everything else from 7". Blue is no exception.
MS really, really needs to stop intentionally changing UI's to break behaviors constantly.
Let me know how it goes when you protest police recording you.
I can understand people may be uncomfortable being recorded, but that's literally all it is. There is no right or wrong to recording, it's entirely subjective and that's the problem - people take that personal viewpoint and think "everything should be this way". Which ends up ridiculous.
try getting a new phone, and you will experience what you have from the post you replied to. Under nonstop use new phones get about 8 hours now, which is a drastic improvement over previous models (even if we have a long way to go).
As 140manda notes is correct, use a USB charger in the car (that relies on simple USB cables) and take the cable with you wherever, if you need to. Then keep AC adapters wherever you need them. done.

It was never more difficult, just a different method. Free software refers to the freedoms of the software, not the cost.
google is an easy example here.
and that...what? That's supposed to be a bad example?
there's nothing wrong with that. The end result is that people are "buying" redhat.
hilarious troll is, well, pretty hilarious. I don't even use redhat, though I think they have a decent UI - certainly better than ubuntu.

lol lazy obvious troll is obvious.
if any country, including 'merika fucks up? they should be called out for it. that also includes the EU as well. it's not exclusive.
try harder.

not really.
"I am runeghost. I am exercising my right to remain silent".
The end. What you are saying is *exactly* what is wrong.
obvious anon troll is obvious.
Are you obtuse?

while I'm not happy about this in general, how hard is it to simply state "I'm exercising my right to remain silent" and say nothing else afterwards?
This isn't difficult. If you're being questioned, you say "I'm exercising my right to remain silent" and don't say a fucking word.

citation needed. you're associating some random viewpoint with shit it's not associated with. fail. That's not a feminism thing.

lacking funding? no, not really.
the successful ones come from home garages such as apple, google, fb, and microsoft. In today's market it's even easier with stuff like kickstarter.
I guarantee you that merely putting cameras inside your home would easily subject you to being found illegal by many laws in any state in the entire US.

your statement is so full of shit it's laughable.

This is hilarious. Have you tried gaming on linux in the last year? it's changed a lot. "everything works best" is longer true.
What's equally odd is that people think Windows is still relevant, even as it is already fading away.
This is entirely ridiculous.
