On Linux people should use QEmu, it's more accurate and completely free.:) On Windows VMWare is probably a good option but that point, you've already chosen poorly.
They think that because cowards like you keep letting them getting away with it.
Why they think it's acceptable isn't related to their peers, it's directly tied to figures of authority. Without an authority figure telling them it's unacceptable and taking disciplinary action, there is nothing their peers can do (within the law) to stop their behavior.
Because the very essence of their sexism means that they will take other men more seriously. Really, its not that hard.
Anything that counts as taking it "more seriously" requires actions not words. Anything less is like telling a media pirate that downloading files is wrong and they shouldn't do it. Words without actions are meaningless.
That "lock" icon in the address bar is generally enough to convince people that what theyre doing with their Visa is sane. now, with letsencrypt, its not so certain.
I do not disagree with anything you wrote but this conflates the idea of a secure connection to a website as being a legitimate website. This has never been true.
if you're not going to at least police fraud or abuse, youre opening the service up to become a haven for quick and easy phishing sites. if you ignore this now, you might as well pack up and leave. Chrome and Firefox will not hesitate to lower their trust in your service
Sadly, this is true and I think some basic safeguard requirements need to be put in place to prevent new registrants/hidden registrants from abusing the service.
if it turns into the.info and.biz of the internet.
Sir, how you denigrate my superbe site, InternetIsSrs.Biz!
If you need your OS/2 apps badly, you can already freely download IBM OS2 Warp 4.0 and run it in a VM or some old metal. As for DOS, FreeDOS reliably runs even on modern hardware though you can also use ReactOS which implements it faithfully. Finally, Win 3.x apps are old hat for WINE. You can SkiFree all day if you want!;)
ArcaOS 5 was going to released March 31 but then you guys slammed the server which caused it to overload and in the highly realistic Hollywood fashion, it began smoking and sparking. This resulted in a fire which burned down the building which for obvious reasons was also Arca Noae HQ and stored all the computers containing all copies of ArcaOS 5.
I am not should be particularly worried because I do not fear losing their jobs to robots because I am higher-skilled workers. See, there is no need for people to fear Face A Higher Risk Of Being Replaced By Robots .;)
It would definitely be helpful if more men spoke out, because that would give a strong signal that sexist behaviour is socially unacceptable.
I could tell them all day long that their behavior is unacceptable and it wouldn't change their behavior in the least. The problem has never been that they don't know other's think it's unacceptable behavior, it's that they think it's acceptable behavior. Furthermore, why would you believe that is must be other men that must assert it's unacceptable? Women aren't invalids incapable of asserting themselves.
If that is so hard for you that you feel the need to deflect when you are asked to do so, I stand by my assessment: you're a coward.
I'm considering the problem as a whole instead of worrying about literally inconsequential details. Also, there are some men that actually are cowardly, what good does shaming them for not being "manly" enough accomplish?
It just depends on exactly what functionality you want, and there's no hard and fast rule to guide you. You literally are forced to try different packages, see which ones are buggy, and then pick the one that's right for you.
The difference is that when you find the software package you want, if it's open source then you can improve it and squish the nasty bugs but if it's closed you are stuck waiting for someone to fix it for you. If you don't want to put the time/money/effort into improving the software then I believe the saying, "beggars can't be choosers" comes into play.
TL:DR: Put the money you would have paid for getting closed source into improving open source and everyone will have much better software. Simply whining about it not being perfect helps nobody.
When your software integration prevents your software from being used in conjunction with a variety of other platforms, you drastically reduce the number of users and in turn the number of developers that will work on it. As you integrate software more and more, you exponentially decrease the number of developers interested in making tools to make operation of your software easier. I'm not saying that making a system that works with everything will attract more developers but I am saying that making an overly integrated system will drive away many developers.
When you have no authority, you are in no position to tell anyone what to do. Management and HR are the ones with the authority.
Are you that much of a coward that simply saying "Dude, not cool" when you hear a co-worker say something sexist is too much for you?
Do you honestly believe that's all it take to curb that type of behavior? If you do then you do not understand the fundamental underpinnings of the issue. All of that aside, it's still management and HR's job to do something about the individual, not mine.
You know, if anyone was going to ditch Windows because of secret backdoors, I figured it would have been the Chinese government. Besides, isn't Linux the ideal model for communism? I know they are communists in name only but you would figure they would at least try to keep up the appearance of objecting to capitalism.
It seems AMC has a fundamental misunderstanding of why millennials get streaming services. Few are getting it to supplement their cable and many are getting it to replace their cable TV subscription. Also, $5 to $7 per month is quite excessive if you look at what you get for your money on Netflix. More than likely, they are going to start hire scumbags to harass people for downloading their shows which means people like me will just stop watching their programs altogether. They're going to actually do significantly more damage to their audience (which ultimately decreases the popularity of their programs among paying viewers) than they'll be getting in return for a paltry few subscribers.
Small short-term gains and large long term losses. That seems to be how corporations operate nowadays.
Please stop putting a "sexism in tech" story on the front page.
It's a major problem in technology that really needs to be addressed if this country is going to be competitive in the future.
I would like to point out that sexism in Southeast Asia is significantly higher than in the US. Sexism has nothing to do with why jobs are being outsourced.
It's unfortunate that it's so inflammatory, but it needs to be addressed.
I believe it's become inflammatory because men keep being told that it's their fault when another man is sexist. I do not tolerate sexist behavior and being told it's my fault is very frustrating because the reality is that it's an HR and management failure.
If you wish to cause the current system of DRM to implode it's actually really easy, you just need to know how to play by their rules. All you need to do is simulate the CDM plugin environment of Microsoft's Edge browser and package it as a single program that can write the output to an unprotected file. It doesn't even have to output an optimized video file, a raw capture will do. They will be contractually obligated to stop using CDMs because they can no longer meet the standard of the "robustness rules".
With any other browser, it would mean only that specific browser would be unable to use CDMs but Microsoft isn't about to be left out of the game they helped fix.
I fully support this idea and I can tell you that their are a handful of multi-billion dollar companies that would rather see the nation go back to using slow-ass DSL before it sees a competitive landscape. They honestly don't care about providing a service, the only thing they care about is that they be the ones to profit from it no matter what the cost to the consumer. As such, you can be assured, the people they bought will kill this bill quite quickly or put in enough legal landmines that only they can makes use of such pipes.
I preferred Gnome 2.x to KDE but when Gnome 3.0 came out, I jumped ship because they took a usable desktop and redesigned it for tablets and then tried to push it to desktop users. I chose something more lightweight and isn't ensnared in Systemd: LXQt. I use Linux so I don't have to put up with people's bullshit, not so I have to put up with the bullshit of different people.
I see no reason why anyone should use Gnome anymore.
I don't know the answer to this, so please be gentle. What about using hydrogen fuel cells for airplanes? The big problem with hydrogen fuel cells is that they require energy to breakdown water and different tubes for refueling. On the upside, it's high density chemical energy and you could safely jettison all of it before a crash which would save lives since (to my knowledge) the majority of fatalities in (survivable) plane crashes are from smoke inhalation from burning jet fuel.
Since power can be derived from Sol and they would be changing equipment anyway, why not use hydrogen fuel cells?
They call it "plugin free" but then what the fuck are Content Decryption Modules? I'll tell you what they are, they are the OS, platform and architecture dependent DRM plugins that Firefox uses. Try putting Firefox on your Raspberry Pi and you'll see it will not work.

Acting responsibly includes reporting unacceptable acts to people with authority of you have no influence on those events yourself
The problem has never been that people aren't reporting bad behavior, it's that HR and management are doing jackshit about it.
It just depends on exactly what functionality you want, and there's no hard and fast rule to guide you. You literally are forced to try different packages, see which ones are buggy, and then pick the one that's right for you.

The standard you walk past, is the standard you accept.
When you have no authority, you are in no position to tell anyone what to do. Management and HR are the ones with the authority.
you should have got used to that way back in school...
That's exactly the type of argument a sexist might make to justify their inappropriate behavior.
You know, if anyone was going to ditch Windows because of secret backdoors, I figured it would have been the Chinese government. Besides, isn't Linux the ideal model for communism? I know they are communists in name only but you would figure they would at least try to keep up the appearance of objecting to capitalism.

If we planned cities properly...
When has there EVER been a metropolitan hub that was properly planned?
True... but that doesn't make for a good headline.
