Hey, if female authors don't want to be torn to pieces on the 'net, they should just publish under a male pen name, like female authors have always done!
No, "rape culture" is not completely imaginary. I grew up in the 70s, when getting women drunk and/or high in order to make it easier to get into their pants was considered all part of the game. In fact, some women would flirt with men in hopes of getting the men to turn them on to drugs, but that's more akin to prostitution than rape. The real problem we have now with rape is that without physical evidence, it becomes a "she said/he said" argument. We need to make victims strong enough to immediately show up and let evidence be collected. Accusing someone of rape 20 years after the fact is kind of bullshit; it makes you look more like you're looking for a payday than looking for justice or looking to protect other people from becoming victims!
At one point I calculated it would take a full month of 24/7 listening to go through all of my 80GB of audio files, so yeah, we are talking several weeks worth of music here.
If I'm going over my monthly data cap because an app it using up my bandwidth, can I ask them to reimburse me for added data costs? Seems fair to me...
California as a state imposes way to many taxes and regulations on business. If you decided you were going to try and start a business in California you might as well just flush your money down the toilet instead.
I left California for Oregon in '95, since it was apparent even back then which direction it was headed. There is a very good reason why even California businesses are moving employees out of California, and your analysis of the problems is spot on.
Yahoo shouldn't be counted in the statistics; they don't have a viable business plan or even a clue (which won't keep Marissa Meyer from getting her $55 million golden parachute.) All Yahoo jobs should just be written off. On the bright side, if this keeps up, people in the Bay Area might someday actually be able to afford housing again! Or at least, the few who still have jobs...
If an overseas company sells DVD decryption software downloaded from an overseas server, how can the AACS force them to comply with a court order issued in the US? Or is that one of the provisions of the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership?
Simple explanation: borderline autistic men and women have been gathered together in the Silicon Valley to work on tech projects, and they are now having sex and breeding. Get the autistic predisposition gene from both parents, and you tend to be much more autistic. Like most syndromes, it is a continuum, and only truly considered "autism" when it becomes bad enough to be disabling. Minor autism is actually an _advantage_ in writing software, as is minor OCD. I think I just have the OCD trait, Unfortunately, I appear to have passed it on to my daughter.
Equally hard for each, but the burden of proof is on the citizen, not the city. On the bright side, I got a ticket for "exceeding the maximum speed on a rural highway" thrown out on appeal by hiring a lawyer to challenge the cop in court to point out on a map where the "rural area" begins and ends. He couldn't, he just said, "We've always won these cases before!"
Wait... will autonomous cars just drive around the block until somebody leaves? Ever been on a street in San Francisco that turns from "No Parking" to "Parking" at 6pm? By 6:05, literally every parking spot is filled. It's truly a wonder to behold; people start circling the block at about 5:50, then it's a giant musical chairs game!
Why on Earth they would be using Yahoo accounts while on the job is a mystery without a responsible answer.
It's congress, obviously they have too much spare time on their hands! It's not like they spend all day enacting useful legislation, is it? Hell, they can't even pass a budget plan!
failblog,com has been putting up a "You need to update Adobe" trojan for several weeks now... they really need to be more selective about who they let advertise on their site!
Agreed, they are accessing their personal accounts from work, but they are only allowed to do this because their system administrator is too incompetent to block access to sketchy sites. And yes, Yahoo Mail is a sketchy site!
Simply answer to "why doesn't Yahoo do X?" is: because it would cost them money, and they don't have any. They will have even less after paying Marissa Meyer her $55 million golden parachute! Their new company slogan is is "Somebody buy us... please!"
Hotmail had a vulnerability a couple years ago where it would send a trojan to everybody in your address list, so I had to apologize to lots of people for spamming them.
Right, because everybody needs to read their home email at work! I'm a Comcast subscriber, and I don't even know the password to my Comcast email account!
Ignorance of the law is an accepted excuse for law enforcement's mistakes, but not an acceptable excuse for the mistakes of people being punished by law enforcement. That's fair, right?

The only thing Hillary doesn't pray for is for The Donald to be miraculously cured of his foot-in-mouth disease!

Obviously, it you disagree with me, it's because you hate me! (I'm pretty sure my teenage daughter uses that same logic...)
Nuclear power is a "gateway drug", it leads to nuclear weapons in the same way that smoking pot leads to heroin addiction, obviously!

Touché!

LOL, educate members of the House of Representatives?!? You can't educate people that are already certain they know everything!
