If Emacs is more capable than vi(m), why did they need to write a vi emulation plugin for it?
You being serious or funny? If serious, Emacs can easily emulate several different editors, so users of those editors can transition to Emacs faster. And they're "modes" (written in LISP) not plugins. It's arguable that Emacs is probably the most powerful editor on the planet, but not for the faint of heart.

Adding a new edition to the Windows line up: Enterprise, Professional, Home, Body

Now let's figure out what we'd like to cut from Government. Defense? That's part of the constitutionally limited responsibilities (CLR). That's roughly half of discretionary spending (about $600 billion).
Of course, not all of that is for proper "Defense". Do we actually need aircraft carriers to defend the US? No, we need them to protect our foreign interests and commitments. I imagine the Defense Budget could be trimmed quite a bit if we limited it to actual Defense.
Everywhere that has socialized medicine has to deal with health care rationing.
All health care is rationed as it's not an infinite resource. It's just that in non-socialized settings, those with more money/ power/ influence get to go the head of the line regardless of actual need or urgency. People don't like waiting in line and many only care about "fair" when it affects them.
After a bomb exploded in Manhattan, leaving 29 injured, people leaving the scene discovered Uber had doubled their fares.
People called an Uber driver *into* a disaster area and/or potential terror/war zone for a ride home and are pissed that the rates went up? Hazard pay people. And private companies w/o public supervision can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, take a taxi or the subway, or fucking walk. First-world problems for sure.
Six years of unlimited Oracle software and technical support included in the deal will save the state hundreds of millions of dollars in years to come...

No, the beauty of the deal is that if you do choose to take full advantage of the free software and modernize you systems, then you'll be on the hook to Oracle for even more money for licensing and support *after* the six years of freebies runs out -- unless you then want to scrap your Oracle systems.

If the pictures were of her being naked it would be considered porn and her parents would have had to remove the photos and probably be facing criminal charges.
Simple (or non-sexualized) nudity -- even of minors -- is usually not considered porn or illegal. Haven't seen the photos in question, but context is important.
... Edge opens quickly, browses quickly, and utilizes very little memory.... they definitely improved their web browser pretty substantially.
And with all the security features, like NoScript, in Edge (or IE)... oh wait.
I never use IE to surf the open web and I imagine the same would be true for Edge (if I ever had to use Windows 10). I only use IE at work for internal sites that require it. Faster isn't better if you're just getting f*cked in the ass -- okay, isn't *always* better.
But then the FAA would have to issue a warning against bringing washing machines onto a plane with your carry-ons.
They stopped me from bringing my own food on-board. I told them I hadn't had barbecue in quite a while and the hibachi would fit under the seat, but noooo.... (apologies to Steven Wright)

My Kyocera Hydro VIBE (released in 2014) is certified water-proof to 3m for 30min, has an exposed headphone jack, user-removable battery, SIM and SD card (back cover has a gasket) as well as wireless charging, bluetooth, etc...
So that all isn't hard to achieve, just takes a little courage.:-)

Blaming the victim is easy. Try to live a month in their boots.
Blaming the oppressor is easy too. Try living a month in their Gucci jackboots. (they *really* pinch your little piggy, until you break them in)
How would those laws be applied to military robots designed to kill? Replace "human being" with with "American"?
They wouldn't be, obviously. Robots don't have to obey the three laws unless we build them that way.
From Alastair Reynolds:
She snapped her attention back to the snake. “Are you Asimov-compliant?”
“No,” the robot said, with a sting of indignation.
In case anyone is interested, that's from the book "Century Rain" by Alastair Reynolds. Not a bad read.
And if you make games so bad as to inspire 100 people to send you death threats, maybe you should re-evaluate your chosen career...
Good thing Larry Ellison doesn't make games.
Shouldn't he have been cheering Uber on, since what they were doing is pretty much following Trump's business playbook?
Following that playbook, the lawyer would have declared the ride unsatisfactory and not paid the driver.

Emacs releases an upgrade and vi has to do the same. Ooh.
Vim != Vi
Pedantic? Yes, but there is a difference. Vim is a lot more capable (though I'm still primarily an (X)Emacs user, which is even more capable.)
Working mostly in a Windows environment for the past 25 years I never got into emacs.
Emacs and XEmacs are available for Windows and have been for a while (though not 25 years).
... "a full-featured WebKit port that can allow you to browse the internet and watch YouTube inside Emacs."
As a long time, fairly hard-core, Emacs user (since the '80s) have have to ask: Seriously, why?

"The report notes that Carl Hancock on Twitter was able to activate the Home button using gloves made to work specifically with touch screens."
Are those wireless iGloves from Apple at $150 a pair? First people were holding iPhones wrong now they're touching them wrong?
Having a barometer built into a phone is more useful than you would think, especially when measuring elevation changes.
If a "barometer" measured the quality of the bars in which I was drinking, then I would agree, but I don't think it does.
