Or, more likely, the first episode will be watched by hundreds of thousands of Canadians roughly 30 to 45 minutes after the premier on TV via Bittorrent.
A person who cannot do anything because robots and AIs have taken over most of the low and middle tier jobs is not being lazy. What an absurd position, but what can you expect from the idiots and sociopaths that are Libertarians.
Primary reason is EOLs. Many of our workstations were running Vista, and it made no sense to hit 7 at this point. Yes, 10 has ample challenges and is a pain in the ass, but most the problems are dealt and we are now not facing a major upgrade for several years.
I think blocking porn videos in their stores isn't unreasonable. The idea of someone taking their kid to McDonald's and have to sit near some perv watching porn because FREEDOM seems wrong to me. If you want to watch porn, or in general surf any and all sites, do it on your own Interne connection..
Our biggest problem with in place upgrades (other than drivers) was that they tend to toast roaming profiles. In the end we juat learned to delete the server and workstation copies of the profiles and start from scratch, and that largely seemed to fix it. All in all it has worked out reasonably well, though setting up the training lab computers was a real challenge, and even with mandatory profiles the Windows 10 start tiles (which are stored in the local app data store) seem to have a mind of their own. And yes, we tried Classic Shell, but man oh man is it unstable.
Let's be mindful here that probably the only East Asian nations not happy that the US is keeping the South China Sea open to navigation is China, and probably North Korea (if NK even really cares at all). Everyone else wants the US there, even Vietnam, a one-time enemy now quickly becoming one of the US's pre-eminent allies. The Europeans sure the hell still want US/NATO military assets in Eastern Europe because of growing tensions with Russia.
And China using water cannons to attack Filipino fishermen is hardly "peaceful", China violating maritime law and trying to turn a sea mount into an island to extend its territorial waters and economic zone is hardly peaceful, and everyone should be damned glad that the US is now regularly reminding China that pouring a bunch of concrete on an atoll does not an island make.
Newt's ideas would violate the Constitution in astonishingly egregious ways. They would almost certainly be thrown out by the Supreme Court, and it's doubtful that Congress would even pass them to begin with. They are the ramblings of a man desperate for a bit more attention after Trump temporarily resuscitated the dead corpse that was his reputation.
There's no particularly easy way to deal with Jihadism, because, in reality, it isn't a single phenomenon at all. When you have everything from terror cells launching relatively sophisticated attacks like 9-11 to lone wolves like the Nice attacker, you're not dealing with some discrete homogeneous entity like the Mafia. And in reality, what you're often seeing in the lone wolf attacks is people who tend to be rather shitty Muslims, drug abusers, petty criminals, people who up until the moment they suddenly found God, were most notable for being pretty damned bad Muslims. ISIS has recruited all sorts of these people, Westerners of Middle Eastern heritage and even non-Middle Eastern origins who know fuck all about Islam.
Now I think Islam is utter rubbish. But then again, I think Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, Scientology, Judaism, and the whole long list of religions to be a bunch of garbage. Maybe there's a nice or decent message here and there, but it's stacked full of ritualistic and mythical nonsense for the most part. But that being said, there's nothing in the Qu'ran as far as violence, misogyny and plain old fashioned wickedness, and certainly there were strains of Christianity that were every bit as vile as anything the extremist Muslims can produce today. In fact, there are still some pretty bloody awful groups claiming to be Christian, and some of them, like the KKK, within the living memory of many people, waged terror campaigns.
Frankly, as far as lone wolfs go, there are no real solutions. If they are not identified in time, whether they be Jihadist, white supremacist, anarchist, or whatever particular brand of lunatic fringe ideology, they can be so successful precisely because they're not really affiliated with any larger group.
I'm afraid, in a nation that believes in Liberty, you just have to accept some risks. The US and most European countries are hardly strangers to various forms of destructive violent radicalism, long before Jihadism was making the 5 o'clock news.
It should be noted that a lot of these attacks are perpetrated by people who either have psychological issues, often petty criminals, drug users, men with failed marriages. Often they people who weren't known as being very religious at all. One description I've read suggests they may be Muslims, but they're often rather bad Muslims, with poor grasp of the religion.
Or maybe not. If Erdogan is well and truly deposed (and it's certainly beginning to look that way), then he'll probably have more time on his hand to fight the few battles left for him to fight.
The reports state that his plane was refused permission to land in Istanbul, and that he is now apparently requesting Asylum in Europe (Germany has refused). So I think it likely does mean he is no longer in Turkey.
Merkel's revenge. Erdogan seemed to enjoy putting her over a barrel over the Syrian refugee crisis. Well, now the Iron Chancellor has her boot on his neck.
The Guardian is confirming that Erdogan's interview was with CNN Turkey, via FaceTime! I'm thinking he's lost access to all of the instruments of the Turkish state. He's standing in front of hastily drawn blinds that could either be a hotel or an office. Could be a Turkish embassy, could be a hotel, but since he wasn't allowed to land in Istanbul, it's almost certainly not in Turkey.
No, I doubt that greatly. The one thing Turkey has long been is very anti-Russian. The sentiments are very old, dating back to the Ottoman period. Erdogan has been pushing buttons for a few years now, and while everyone thought he had sufficiently emasculated the army to prevent a coup, clearly he had not.
Turkey has been through this before. They know the drill. Keep your head down, wait for the new constitution, and then back to normal. Rinse and repeat.
Perhaps the biggest mistake within and outside Turkey was assuming Erdogan's position was as secure as it seemed.
The fact that this junta seems to be talking about forming a Peace Council to protect Turkish citizens' rights regardless of race or religion suggests that, oddities aside, this is a coup more in the classic Turkish tradition. In other words, Erdogan ultimately was unable to get rid of all the Ataturk secularists in the army, and his own Generals ultimately failed to overawe those further down the ranks.
I've also just read that Erdogan has tried to address the nation via some sort of online service (there's a picture of someone watching his address via iPhone, and it looks like he's standing in front of hotel curtains), and that he had tried to land in Istanbul but had been refused. This would suggest he's probably holed up somewhere in Europe. With AKP's headquarters now under military control, the state broadcaster shut down, and Erdogan blocked from re-entering the country, the claim that is Gulenists is likely false. This is far too big, and sounds like it involves far too much of the military to be blamed on what really is at best a fringe movement.
It might not be the Generals staging the coup, the ghost of Ataturk has taken out another Turkish government.
NATO will decry the unlawful deposing of a democratically elected leader, and then will immediately set about making sure the Army is still on board. I'm sure they still have the procedure manual titled "What To Do When A Turkish President Is Deposed".

So, in other words, American studios are getting fucked over simply because they're not putting conditions like streaming into distribution contracts.
But yeah, it's like totally the viewer's fault if they don't want to buy an entire cable package to watch one fucking show.

They won't have a choice. The alternative is insanely massive and hard to administer welfare, or people starving.
No, it wouldn't. But just because McDonald's can't filter every noxious thing doesn't mean they don't have the right to filter what they can.

Have you used most public wifi? Getting a YouTube video to load is usually a pretty time consuming process.

NATO's combined military and economic assets dwarf Russia's. What an idiotic post.
Historically, and I'm sure it's true today as well, the Kremlin has been deeply concerned about the direction of American foreign policy.

Jesus Newt, you can take off your crazy pants now. Trump didzn't pick you as his running mate.

You have to give Ataturk credit. There aren't a lot of secular rulers who have cast as long a shadow as he has.
NATO will decry the unlawful deposing of a democratically elected leader, and then will immediately set about making sure the Army is still on board. I'm sure they still have the procedure manual titled "What To Do When A Turkish President Is Deposed".
In this case, it looks like they waited until Erdogan was outside the country on holiday.
Mind you, an alternative explanation is that Erdogan saw this coming and hightailed it before they could get a hold of him.
The difference between the two explanations is whether his suitcases are packed with swimming trunks or bars of gold.
