I see you've fallen into the typical USian trap of thinking America is the center of the world....
Not really. I just acknowledge that the US is one of the largest emitters of climate gases and, because of that, no agreement is worth much if the US does not agree to abide by it.
...Sports especially are one thing keeping people on cable; a huge percentage of Americans watch live sports,...
30% of the people who receive ESPN watch ESPN.
.
Less than 10% of the people who receive YES channel watched 25% or more of the ballgames broadcast on it, and this was during the lead up to the playoffs.
ESPN is having significant layoffs because of the people cutting the cord and not continuing to pay ESPN, running counter to what you assert. Some say they are cutting the cord because of the ESPN fees.
I agree that sports are very popular, but sports channels should not be paid for by the people who do not watch them. The high sports salaries are being paid for by high sports channel monthly fees that everyone has to pay because ESPN is part of basic cable.
The channels with the reality programming are inexpensive compared to the more than $6 per month that each basic subscriber pays for ESPN whether they watch it or not.
... How 'bout Yahoo eliminates the management structure, i.e., the "Yahoo tech execs", that came up with this idea.
.
I certainly haven't seen an increase in the quality of Yahoo recently, indeed, the mail service's quality has taken a nose dive.
The supposed "success" of this experiment is probably due more to the Yahoo tech execs wanting themselves and Yahoo to look good for the sale of the company than anything else.
It almost seems that Microsoft has intentionally slowed updates for Windows 7...
I wonder if it has something to do with Microsoft no longer doing service packs.
.
Nowadays, the Windows 7 windows update client has to pour through everything since SP1 to find the dependencies and omissions, in order to determine what updates need to be installed. It is almost as if the service pack team didn't tell the windows update team that service packs would be discontinued, so now the windows update process is basically flopping around in a dependency tree so large that is is falling over on itself. If Microsoft were to issue a SP2 for Windows 7, then the dependency tree would be small again and windows update would move more quickly.
.
Windows 10 doesn't have the slowness problem (yet) because the dependency tree is much smaller on the newer OS.
Or, it could be just as you say, Microsoft is intentionally slowing down the update process for Windows 7, trying to put a hurt on the customer experience.
I followed the links to the KB for the updates. One of the updates went to a blank page in the KnowledgeBase. So I didn't install that one.
.
There were also a couple of optional updates that looked as if Microsoft was trying to hide something in their KB description. So I didn't install them either.

I've been seeing really strange agent strings for a few weeks in my web server log files. I was wondering what the target was.

This story perfectly illustrates why the climate agreement is completely useless.
The climate agreement is useless because the US energy industry has purchased Congress and has been seeding disinformation for decades.

this is a beautiful example as to how public school is an epic failure.
Probably more of an example of how local control [by religious fanatics] of education is bad. Look at the parents for blame, not the schools.

I am sure these good town folk will be able to recite all manner of Biblical stories, and the lessons they teach, for you.
It's more a matter of what was taught and for what purpose, than who was doing the teaching.

Well, that's one approach. :)

They got rid of the QA team and made the programmers create more unit-tests (this is key).
The programmers should have been writing unit tests all along.

How is that a justification to eliminate QA?

This.

Maybe a loss of Internet access is just the jolt they need to get off their butt and upgrade.
What if Microsoft taught everything wrong?

Meanwhile, Microsoft's hacked update system is stealing more than half of my CPU time as it spins its wheels trying to figure out what to do.

This extreme slowness is a recent thing, occurring only for the last three four four months. I really takes the fun out of running Windows Update.
Using the word "devops"
.... that says absolutely nothing.
Yes in the sense that there is no (actual) tax advantage or legal need for moving the shares from his personal account to the LLC.
At this point, it is less about the money (tax benefits) and more about the power and control for Zuckermann.
.
The LLC gives him far more power and control than a non-profit would.
When he gives the money to a non-profit, he loses control of the money, he cannot do anything with it that he wants. Hence he loses power.
When he gives the money to his LLC, he retains full control over it, retaining his power status.
It's like a broken record with you retards.

If so, then the cooler makers should follow the spec.
- corollary - if the spec is followed and the CPUs still warp, well then Intel should fix their problem at no cost.
