Clippy was annoying, but one of the other options was a claymation Einstein. That one was OK. There was also something else, but I don't remember what it was.
Banning is not the answer. Steer people in the direction you want by making it hurt a little. And at the same time make them pay the bulk of the consequences by collecting the tax and using those funds accordingly.
Stupid government doesn't learn from the past so they jump to "no" and just drive it underground so crooks can profit. Then government faces the burden of cost fighting crime and the consequences of product X.
They use it to switch active application. That's it's god damn job, and has been since Windows 3.1 (and probably earlier). It performs that same function in Linux. Why would we even think about changing that? Because we're Microsoft. (I just figured I'd go ahead and answer that question for anyone who was confused.)
I have no intention to read the article (just being honest), but it seems dumb to punish a person for pointing people there and doing nothing about the sites hosting the content.If the page wan't there people would just get a 404 error, not an unclosable popup. And can't those affected just close the app?

Download the mp3 once. Put it on your devices. Play as often as you'd like. I guarantee that takes a lot less energy than making a CD or streaming it across multiple devices every listen.
Easily the best mouse I've ever used. I would like 2 more thumb buttons near the bottom, but other than that it's as close to perfection as you can get.
I never tried the G400 and later mice.
I've been using it for 8 years or so. I have run into the chunky click on occasion, but it's still going.
Oh, I'm sorry snowflake. For future reference: When using a communication device, period, your conversation may be recorded. This includes using your voice when talking in person to someone.
Exactly. I saw a tweet from Cerberus (a "find my phone" app) that blocking them from SMS was going to make their job more difficult.
I'm not sure if they got it worked out or found a way around it, but "Security Apps" was intentionally one of the things blocked from the whitelist. I don't see a reason why. I would think that whitelisting should be a no brainer for legitimate security apps.
If you're talking about a home connection (let's just say IP address) then you're not talking about one person. I like horror movies, my wife won't touch them, my daughter gets nightmares.
It's bad enough that the iPad my daughter uses to watch My Little Pony on YouTube is signed in as the same account I use to watch Critical Role. The "you might be interested in" can get interesting.
When talking about cell phones it's more likely that it's a single user, but even then my daughter uses my cell phone to do things.
How far do you go with advertising? If I buy some Victoria's Secret for my wife then my daughter borrows my phone is she confronted with sexy ads? That's not cool.
Yea. I'm thinking if you go post download links to all of the latest movies and they can't ban your "free speech" then what happens?
Then the "industry" (mpaa) starts going after the platform (facebook) and hilarity ensues. But I'm assuming that it's still OK to delete posts, but not banish people, which gets little done other than producing busy work for someone. If it's a moderated thing then posts don't show up until OK'd anyhow. Banning someone is just an easy way to filter out the trash.
So if I can't ban them then I just need a way to auto-decline or auto-delete for a blacklisted user. And a way to maintain a blacklist. Problem solved.
China builds Apple's phones. There was no "theft" necessary. Apple taught them how to build the phones.
I assume what's in question here is "Is China building iPhones and selling them in China without giving Apple a cut?"
That's an entirely different question, but quite plausible.
As for DaringFireball's later comment: How would you know? If they technically are iPhones flooding the Chinese market they wouldn't look like "fake knockoffs" because they technically aren't. But if Apple isn't selling the phones or getting any cut then there's still shady activity going on.
Yea. And I noticed a few times where it seems to start from the shoulder. 1:20 and 1:37 of note.
I think that the AI handled the "on highway" portion, which is the easy part. Obviously it couldn't handle the "pumping gas" part. There are a few single lane pieces where I'm not sure what was going on since they're not highway.
Office 365 already has a page that lets you install these things. The problem is that it doesn't "mix" with regular installs. For instance you absolutely under no condition can install your copy of Visio 2016 after installing the Office 365 Office apps (Word, Excel, Access, etc). So we're stuck using local copies for everything because the Office 365 Visio costs extra.
This runs into the same problem that started that whole thing - having a large portion of traffic running through one company (or country as was the case).
If one entity "handles" the traffic then they can abuse users by sniffing that traffic.
I'm not saying there's any good solution to get around that, just be aware. L3 and other entities handle large portions today.

But the government doesn't pick winners and losers, they let the free market speak. Are we still feeding people that line of BS?

A good point. Agreed.
I came here looking for the comment I stuck in the subject. I'm surprised that I haven't seen it.

Why would we even think about changing that? Because we're Microsoft. (I just figured I'd go ahead and answer that question for anyone who was confused.)
They make sense. That's what's wrong. If we don't over complicate the hell out of it then people might be able to understand it.
Sad, but true.
This things is just full of inaccuracies.
If you're a Critical Role fan you might like this one:

Yea, so the solution here is "don't stream".

I notice who's missing from that list:
State employees (state legislature, etc)
Postal workers
Judges

And why would business want it?
Business wants to sell you the "new shiny" every year or two.
They no longer want to build things to last. It would be good for the planet if we built things to last, but we can't seem to care enough about that.

Right now it intercepts the request and says "don't make that one".
Is it possible that the browser makes the request and gets the file, but you tell it "don't load that one"?
So, essentially, the network traffic still happens, but the file isn't active/usable.

MS installs do the most asinine things.
Thank you for answering my question, "What is Quora and why would they have my information?"
What is missing is the NSA collection point.
