I don't know. I mean I work at a place that requires some form of secrecy in the form of NDAs and only talk to your close family about what you do. My employer regularly looks at employee public facing social media to look for stuff like this because it's a big deal, and every year one idiot seems to get fired or suspended because of this. It's not out of the ordinary. Your employer hires you to do a job and while you're on their property you have to follow their rules. They even went so far as to make their own intranet version of Facebook locally so people could share these things to other employees only... Nobody really uses it of course but it was a big enough deal to consider making their own social media platform for internal use.
Such as a closed circuit camera mic? If the employer owns it and an employee gets close, technically they're using it, could be useful for your next employee review especially if they search for key words, facial expressions, body positions, and watch the highlights
True because the director of national intelligence is of a higher breed than everyone else who has their personal details compromised every day. That's why you should expect heavy consequences for targeting that particular individual amongst all us plebs.
How do they groom all the thousands of people who work for them though, especially the people who truly love computer science? And why does it benefit them to wear these types of reality-blinders? This will inevitably drive a wedge between them and reality, causing them to lose clients by not understanding them.
Don't know about you but when I'm dragged to the theater I always bring earplugs. You hear the movie fine and cut out the noise of everyone around you. I hated sitting through the ads but didn't pay attention (because they're ads) so I didn't know what they were about. Someone I was with said it spoiled who was a good guy and who was a bad guy in the movie.
Anyway I'm usually just talking with people during all that crap and just pay attention when the movie is on. Normally I check those sites that tell you when e movie actually starts and the preroll ends but we were with someone who really had to see the trailers and garbage. (Personally I find trailers are just condensed spoiler reels so I never watch.) Yeah going to the movies blows. I would have rather waited for the home video but by then I imagine the whole thing would be spoiled, not that I heard anything about the movie until I got there. It was fun. A New Hope but for a new generation.
Here comes a new idiot on a crusade to change all our UIs just for change's sake. The reason why I went with Mint Linux was specifically because they are striving to keep the UI *the same.* All the apps I use have had the same UI forever and it's great! I can get work done.
It's being developed for a non-DirectX *nix based platform with common architecture compared to the PC. Makes me wonder why more PS4 games don't make it to Linux? Probably because it costs money, but surely it's easier than bringing PS4 games to Windows. I guess we just need a larger Linux/SteamOS install base.
Sure patent agreements are resolved between companies which still results in preventing other players from entering the market. Even with all the FRAND patents the barrier to entry is insurmountable
Exactly why you don't show the individuals the proof. Instead, like parent poster said, humor them and let them go through test themselves so that they can *witness* this truth.
Who cares if someone's an asshole? They'll be naturally avoided anyway. Does the whole town have to know who's naughty and nice? Then it's about being a secret asshole and keeping up appearances. Assholes are assholes regardless of who is aware of their being an asshole anyway. They'll just make sure they slime their way out of consequences anyway. I know plenty of assholes at work and they're not anonymous. They don't care nobody helps them out, they have ways of preying on the weak and twisting arms to get their way anyway (there are still weak/gullible in small towns too). They don't give the slightest fuck.
Probably because nobody stays at home with the kid all day, kids don't have the security of a routine and less nurturing. They only get some guardian's partial frantic attention since they have to watch 10 other kids, and then burnt out parents at home busy making dinner and getting ready for tomorrow. Then there's those daycares that just tie kids to the bed all day and who knows what the fuck else. I'd be insecure too.
If you're a corporation surely you're not relying on Windows Update anyway? For end users, it should really not be something they have to think about. If video card manufacturers can't push out reliable updates that's another separate problem with QA. Yeah I agree about bios updates but I assume if Lenovo was willing to push one out to end users it must be critical?
Shouldn't ALL of the updating be done through Windows update? Drivers and BIOS seems pretty important! Not only that but there are plenty of apps that have their own updating systems, that each run on their own schedule and trigger at different times and installs happen not all at once. How are you ever sure everything is completely up to date without checking in 20 different places?
And standard cables/connections, standasrd replaceable batteries, standard communication protocols, and detailed technical manuals by request for free.

What exactly does it do in those scenarios? I don't know why you would even want to do that.
I hope they don't have pets

I would love a visit from a distracted walking skyrocket. It would boost my spirits.

Exactly, these things should be broken down into essential parts and voted upon individually. Like *nix do one thing and do it well.

Sony made 7 consoles?

Then reassign all old comments to that user. How fucking hard can that be?

Why does an update erase preferences? That's the stupidest.
So how is encryption a problem when they can't even stop crimes when it's not being used?
"and the role that marketing costs play in fueling escalating drug prices"
Wow, grasping at straws here. Whims set the price of medication, advertising is what, 1% of that?
Why the fuck are people doing extremely dangerous things just to "annoy" someone else? That's incredibly stupid and beyond irresponsible.
