Because the manufacturer of the device cheaped out, and didn't give each device a unique serial number. The OS can't really tell the difference between different devices.
In which case they wouldn't be able to handle it in the same port either! No, this is MS daftness.
Since nobody uses thumb drives for high performance computing, this change is a sensible improvement.
That may well be true, but Microsoft's implementation of how I can change the option leaves a lot to be desired.
You can change the policy setting for each external device, and the policy that you set remains in effect if you disconnect the device and then connect it again to the same computer port.
I have multiple ports on my machine. I may plug a drive into any of them. I want a device to be treated the same regardless of which port I happen to plug it into "this" time. But MS has decided that I have to set things for each port separately. Why? (and this isn't the first time I've seen that the same device in different ports is treated a as different object).
"Being surprised" by something doesn't mean that you previously thought it impossible, only that you thought it unlikely (or hadn't even considered "it" at all, as something else seemed possible/probable).
This permits passengers -- particularly those on the platform -- to be directed to doors that will be less busy.
That isn't how people work. They want to be by the door closest to where there are more free seats - which is more likely to be the one where there are most people alighting.
Mine was recalled last night. (Well, I say "recalled" - I was told to stop using it and send it for recycling...).
A pity - most other portable charger are significantly bigger (in particular, much thicker). I'd bought mine (the 5600mAh) because it was the most suitable size.
No, that's not why we don't have them. There was a trial for them a few years back, but it was the normal government-inspired mess, so went no further.
Do you really want to bug those user's repeatedly with self signed cert validation prompts...
No - you set up a Web base CA that let's them request certificates (and that CA ensures that they are only valid for local-network names), and publish the root certificates on that site, with instructions for how the users can load them into their systems/browsers.
Then they don't get prompted for locally-issued certificates.
I have Windows Update set to download updates, but I need to install them.
The Win8.1 Update was optional - I had to select it to get it installed (which went OK). Odd for something so essential to future updates.
Anyone updating from 8.0 to 8.1 (now) has it pre-installed as part of the update download for the Windows Store (did that on another system 3 weeks ago).
Sorry - no Ctl needed, just RightMouse (which is the standard way to bring up control menus).
Also, it turns out that there is no need to go to the Desktop either - works from the Start screen as well.
If I hadn't been exposed to all of the different arguments about religion, etc., via the internet I would probably just be another person who identifies as religious but doesn't attend services.
So what actually| changed your mind was the exposure to different views, which made you question your own for the first time.
If you'd gone to the local library, or had a teacher who asked you to question things, the same thing would have happened eventually.
The breakdown includes about $3.1 billion in lost government services, $152 million per day in lost travel spending, $76 million per day lost because of National Parks being shut down, and $217 million per day in lost federal and contractor wages in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area alone.
So this money has all been lost? Completely? Someone burnt it? If not, then surely it is all still available, and has been/will be spent on other things.
Sounds like an accountancy disappearing trick to me.

But it is daft to treat that "new" device differently when it is clearly the same device.

Most women claim to have been doing this throughout human history.
There are no Theaters In London - only Theatres.
Without it you could get better "standard" chip speeds, and it made more sense for the expected workload.

I remember a report about this (or, more likely, something similar) many years (20+) ago. The Brits on the team called it the Stop Cock.
Interestingly the cost is very similar to the UK TV licence cost, which funds the ad-free (in the UK) BBC.

But certificates are given for names , not addresses, and you don't specify any address in the request.
The "right to be forgotten" applies to an individual? What about the "right to be able to remember (or find out)", which applies to everyone else?

One word?!?

It's quite simple to get in back in Win8.1.
Just add a New Toolbar for the folder: \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and squish it along to the left.
It will be called "Programs" and it won't be on the very left, but it will show the familiar hierarchy.

The Internet was not the cause - just the vector.
The UN Charter on Human Rights that says everyone has a right to an education (Article 26)? [And the USA is a signatory]
I don't recall it saying that anyone has the right to be indoctrinated.
And if your code is sensitive to that then you are using the wrong algorithm. So it's the algorithm which needs to be fixed. not the FPU environment.
All floating[-point work is approximate. It's up to you to ensure that the significances are greater than the approximations.
But you would as soon as they asked for your password, or credit card details.
