I'm guessing, but given how preloaded stuff has a bad air about it, like a public lavatory that is never properly cleaned (thanx Rowling), MS might not be doing themselves a favor here.
Yes, but this is Chinese manufacturing we're talking about with no American company worried about their image and quality control. I very much doubt any Chinese knockoff is going to be as good, they'll cut corners anyway they can.
There's a secondary effect to the ostracism from social circles, girls are much more socially adept and interested in social interaction than boys. The general effect is likely to impact girls more than boys.
The apologists will simply claim those atrocities were mere reaction against the West. It will get worse because they have to up the ante to keep the same level of hatred driving their nutjobs. How do you satisfy their bloodlust after you have raised it way beyond humane? And videos like this serve to attract the sort of nutjob who has no problems being such murderers and mass murderers. It is a Genghis Khan mentality which says that if their army is crueler than anyone else. Boko Haram is a prime example.
Daesh has pretty much expanded to their geographical limits, they are surrounded by countries and groups that are armed and just as pissy as they are. They are mainly supported by some local Sunni tribes, that is where most of their recruits are coming from. Sooner or later I expect the foreigners and the locals will have it out. It will be bloody, but no one will shed any tears over it. I doubt it will really go away because there will be no General Sherman that will run through their neighborhood and demolish their infrastructure or support.
Yeah, you are right, the U.S. took over Afghanistan and Iraq and gave it right back to them instead of turning it over to their corporations. That's some conspiracy you have going in your head.
What makes you think the Muslim nutjobs need any provocation from the West to attack the West? They need the West so they don't appear so radical as to declare war against Muslims. Now they get to hide behind "Defending Islam against the West, anything else is understandable collateral and Muslims should feel honored to be martyred." They are self-agitated regardless of what the West does or doesn't do.
Okay, how about we send you to talk some sense into Daesh, I'm sure they'd listen to you. Putin has also been calling for your input a lot, explain to him why he shouldn't have half of Ukraine. Lil' Kimmy's a nice guy, could you please go over there and talk him out of his nukes. While you are on your world tour, please explain to the Iranians that achieving hegemony over its neighbors is a losing strategy and nukes won't help them.
Maybe in your bunny world, the U.S. caused all these problems. Hey, are you Joe Biden?
T is, to quote a colorful phrase I read from a study on T, is gasoline to a prostate cancer. In fact, one of the treatments is chemical castration under the understanding that for the right people, it will delay the onset of death by that cancer until something else gets you instead. My father took those treatments from sometime in his 70s until he died of old age at 91...his prostrate cancer was held in check and was not the cause of his existence failure.
"We know he created other beings like angels and worst case scenario would be that satan created them as we know he created deamons."
That's "demons", and how do we know she created these entities? Reaching for the Bible as a reason is just an exercise in non-wellfounded set theory, e.g., why is this true, because the Bible says so. Why is the Bible true? Because the Bible is true." In symbols,
x = { a, y }
y = { y }
And in non-wellfounded set theory, the above (flat) system of equations has a solution, and non-wellfounded set theory is consistent, streams in computer science are modeled nicely in it. However, it is not an excuse to treat something written down in any old book as true.
But girls are more social than boys. Math and CS are not particularly social activities. They generally require a fair amount of time spent noodling in isolation about fairly abstract ideas. That tends to favor boys. It isn't that most girls cannot do it, it is just that the endeavor is not social enough to keep most girls' interest.
Now if you were to find a way to make Math and CS more socially interactive, that might work. But don't expect to attract a lot of boys into that way of getting into Math and CS. And don't expect the two styles to co-exist in a single class.
Since you bring race into it, there is a journalist I heard on NPR who studied black crime and police. The problem has little to do with white folks in the communities she worked with. Most black crime is black on black. The families living in these areas would much prefer more police protection. However, the police don't have the street level view of the crimes that are being committed. Nor can they protect witnesses very well when the witnesses live with the perps. The witnesses are intimidated into shutting up. The police, not being able to get inside information, wind up cracking down on the crimes they can see in the hopes of putting at least some of the perps behind bars. That leaves the black community feeling the police are only arbitrarily enforcing petty crimes and some how don't want to arrest the real perps.
That said, the police depts have their own internal problems. At least in parts of L.A., there are different units assigned to murders than to gang activity and the two do not communicate very well. Police depts. need to be reorganized to streamline communication, but communities must also rat out the perps in their midst. As long as the communities do not feel like police can protect them against retribution, that won't happen.
You can see a microcosm of this playing out in the prisons. These are captive populations with plenty of cops, yet inside the inmates run their own justice system and the cops cannot protect inmates from retribution. When the society gets that evil, it is very difficult to fix.
I think we must consider the possibility that the teacher actually believed the kid could make people disappear with his ring. This is Texas after all. Devil-Worship is breaking out and this principal decided to put a stop to it. Good for her, now if she could only use her talents on a state-wide level. Come to think of it, maybe she could politely ask to use the little boy's ring.
I work in research. We're filthy with Macs. MS has way too much baggage for us to deal with, keeping us from doing our research. It's a crap ecosystem run by a company that causes too much pain.
Have you been injured by falling buckshot fired at drone? Have you or loved one been traumatized by the sound of a shotgun near the White House?

Well gollllllly, Sargent, I didn't mean to, but they asked real nice.
The poor souls being killed will be the ones who have lost touch with reality.

You don't understand criminals' pyramid schemes, do you?
Yep, it's a wonderful day in the neighborhood. Will you be my friend?

Rail guns fire slugs; they aren't about to put an exploding shell in a rail gun with that much electrical and magnetic energy around.

Seeing as the Sixth Amendment only applies to American citizens, why would you assume it applies to foreigners?
I stand corrected.
I'm unaware of any religions that have planned obsolescence. Too few of them have any auto-correct features either.
Seems like a perfect use for laser beam weapons. 10 points extra if they are shot from the White House pool full of sharks.

You are equating an OS with a computer language? To paraphrase Pauli, that's not even wrong.
This is just another E^3 move.
