Because when one drives a stick shift, getting a used one isn't an option since people think The Fast and Furious movie franchise is how one drives a stick shift.
wouldn't it be better to use those dead fish as fertilizer to grow food to feed the other Ninety Nine Percent?
No. We already have enough food to comfortably feed everyone. The issue is getting the food to the people.
Also, no. It wouldn't be better because we already have too many people on the planet. If we could reduce the population by at least one quarter, that would go along way to your first issue.
As long as we have overreaching governments grasping for power
Because the government has no business knowing if children are being sold for child porn, or women (mainly women) are being sold into forced prostitution, or if murders are being set up.
Hopefully someday their activities can be done openly.
I'm sure people would love to see children or women being raped in the open.
But how many times has this happen with Microsoft, vs it happening in your office.
On Friday, no one could use our new Microsoft VPN's MSMFA. We had to wait until late Friday, after working hours, for whatever patch/update/change was made to be rolled back before it worked.
Today we have MFA (which sucks in general) going wonky.
Not long ago we had the latest "upgrade" to Windows 10 deleting people's files. Fortunately it was never pushed out to the masses but only because non-Microsoft testers picked up on the issue.
I could go on, but you should be getting the point. This is becoming a regular occurrence now that "the cloud" is the be all and end all to everything.
It was nice of Russia to make the exercises more realistic.
The same thing is happening in Ukraine. With all the Russian jamming devices sent in to help the terrorists, NATO and others are taking their own equipment to the battlefield to see how things work as well as sucking up all the information they can on how to minimize or counter the jamming.
It's almost as if Putin didn't think things through when he invaded another country, what with over 3,000 Russian soldiers dead so far, and has to support a peninsula which has no water source or ability to supply its own power.
could have a stroke of inspiration tomorrow and publish a formula that unravels internet cryptography
They made a movie about it. The problem is the "deep state" has hidden it from the public, just like they've hidden those aliens who helped us in World War II.
Do you want to know if they were Raped, Flashed, or photoshopped into an image?
Yes, so I can know whether to use a red hot pair of pliers to remove his genitals and stuff them down his throat, smack the person upside the head, or fry their system.
Apparently I'm the only person who doesn't turn my speakers on unless I intend to use them. Nor do I have fifty tabs open on fifty different sites which play music.
I guess keeping things simple is too difficult for most people.
I keep saying what this world needs is a good Ebola outbreak, but nooooo, those darn doctors keep messing with natural selection.
What we really need is to cross Ebola with the common cold, even though that would be a terrible, terrible thing. It would certainly help in population reduction.
We already knew the public wanted to keep net neutrality, but it was the con artist and his cabal who went out of their way to use dead people to prove otherwise.
The FCC, headed by Ajit Pai, lied about having a meltdown because of "being under attack", lied about the number of people who were for repeal, and lied about the need to protect the people from the "scourge" of net neutrality.
And yet, their supporters will simply shrug their shoulders and yell, "BUT HILLARY!!!!", because lying is all they have.
Considering 35 mm film cameras aren't (readily) being made, and things such as lenses and parts have long stopped being made, it would only be a matter of time before the camera stopped being usable.
Not to mention, unless they're doing black and white, manipulating photos is nigh impossible without the right equipment.
The biggest thing I didn't like about Myst was the lack of design. And by that I don't mean the physical game, I mean the design of the puzzles.
What nutjob thought it would be a great idea to have to unlock this puzzle by going to the other side of the island and having to solve two more puzzles first? No real person would ever make something so ridiculous to accomplish tasks.
Yes, I know, it's a game, and it had its moments. But it was the stupid stuff which got to me.
The President is responsible for the activities of the people who work for him. That's the job.
Oh really? Then are we to presume the con artist is responsible for the FCC lying about being "hacked" when the Net Neutrality public response was out, when in reality they were overwhelmed by people who wanted to keep NN in place? Instead, the head of the FCC used at least one person's dead mother to post a fake comment.
Or how about the former head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt, who was essentially bought by big industry, who spent taxpayer money like it was water, had a security detail to rival the president's, who had secretive rooms installed (at taxpayer expense), and got a sweetheart deal from an energy lobbyist on a condo rental?
Or the head of FEMA who used government vehicles to drive back and forth between his home in North Carolina and Washington, a six hour trip, each weekend?
Considering all the scandals in this administration, it doesn't appear the con artist cares one wit about the activities of those who work for him. Even more so when one considers the criminals who worked on his campaign and are going to jail.
Searching is an interruption in one's workflow. Instead of allowing people to go directly where they want to go, Microsoft keeps trying to force search down people's throats by claiming it's a better "experience".
Question: if one went to the store for eggs, do you walk around the entire store "searching" for eggs, or do you go directly to where eggs are located?
As I have said many times, with each iteration of Windows Microsoft has made it more difficult for an end user to accomplish something. Things which used to be readily available are buried or moved to obscure locations. When you do find what you're looking for, the steps to complete the task have soared.
This is why, except for work, I will not use Windows 10. It's an abomination whose inept design will cause a myriad of bad habits to be the norm and cause a regression in accomplishing tasks easily.
Chrome engineers said the auto-login mechanism was added in the browser because of shared computers/browsers.
What does that have to do with anything? If it's a shared computer each person would have to log into their own account. More than likely under their own profile.
Why doesn't Google just come out and say it. They're sucking up every bit of your information to sell to someone. This death by a thousand cuts is so last decade.
In photography, you can have a master flash which then triggers other flashes, i.e. slave flashes.
In fact, on many speedlights (the smaller flashes which fit on a camera), the word master is used as one of the options.
If you look at this image, the back of the SB-700 and SB-900 both have the word Master on the selector area.
At some point one has to realize not everything can be sanitized. Some things simply have to be the way they are because the wording is precise despite any other connotations.
I seem to recall some orange-faced liberal from New York City telling us he'd force drug companies to lower the price of their drugs. You know, use the power of big government to dictate to private companies how they should run things.

They can't be taken away just because you are a bad employee.
Not true. In some states if you are convicted of certain crimes related to your job or or crimes done while on the job, your pension is taken away.

It never detects the Windows 10 virus.
This also fills the char with compost microbes, and conditions the surface to have a humus like quality,
Mmmm, char hummus.
Can't you reimage your phone like you can a real computer? Or do the companies restrict you from doing even that?
Might be a way to start fresh so even the trackers wouldn't be around.

Get rid of five billion or so humans. Meat consumption, and the necessary infrastructure which is supposedly the problem, will plummet.
Either that or we go out into space and bring back a giant ice cube which we drop in the ocean.
Peter principle corollary: The older the organization the more of it's staff will be operating at their level of incompetence.
That explains Microsoft and Apple.
Look for a trusty 35mm.

No. VI forever!

I don't have this problem playing my CDs. I put them in my player, any player, and they play.
No matter where I go, they work.
