" IE turns 20 in less than a month, which is ancient in internet years,"
No, IE is not 20 years old. IE 11 bears no resemblance to IE8, which bears no resemblance to IE3, which bears no resemblance to IE 1.5.
This sort of description is like declaring the 1978 Saab 900 was anything like the 1994 Saab 900.
There have been 11 major versions of IE. Better to state that the name has been around for 20 years, or a product named that, but then we have to consider that 'Windows' has been around for 29 years. Does anyone even consider 'Windows 1.0' from 1985 is anything like current Windows, and shares the name only?
Around here, RC Planes generally do NOT fly from airfields. The mostly fly form large fields or industrial zoned parking lots. Usually on weekends.
Certainly no reason to suspect drones flying around industrial parks on the weekends, eh? Nor anyone flying a kite t the park or the beach, right? Drones will spot the kite string fine of course.
Drones are going to have to be pretty clever to avoid the kites at the beach while they count the crowd, offer real-time surveillance to the authorities, or tow around some advertising banners.
This is a bit more interesting than it may have seemed earlier.
Long ago, when there was an industry making 'office machines', there was an industry association, NOMDA, that by consensus developed a set of regulations and standards that the members, both dealers and manufacturers, adhered to. Mostly. Among the regulations and policies were definitions for such terms as 'used', so that you could be reasonably certain that the typewriter you purchased as 'new' wasn't actually given to a customer as a demo unit, used for a year, given back, cleaned and refurbished, and sold to you as 'new'. This worked fairly well, but NOMDA never took hold with the PC business, and is pretty much done.
Industries can in fact police themselves, if there is sufficient motivation and reward.
Tapatalk is one of the most common, and seems to me to prove this point:
The mobile app you are being offered doesn't improve your experience as much as it does the app publisher's revenue. Apps will capture your data, contacts, and history on your mobile when better than your browser.
Apps will act as gateways for other apps, eventually leading to downloading something nasty without your knowledge, or masquerading as something benign.
Apps will force you into a mobile view, like it or not. Good for the site, bad when your mobile is a 10" tablet that shows you a fabulous desktop render.
With a self-driving car, it's not them driving it. It's the car. Just like when you;re in it, except they leave trash on the floor.
Self-driving cars take Uber to a new level - no driver, no unavailability. You're not the driver, so why does your Uber client need one? No unavailability except for when you have a scheduled trip (coming home from a concert...).
The only needed human intervention is refueling. Until they self-park on your charging mat, or park and hit the charging plug.
Maybe you don't really buy a car alone. Buy into a consortium, several other 'owners' nearby, so if you want to run out for a pizza you can either have it deliverd by Uber or ask for a local car and get out of the house for a bit.
Did you hear that, Amazon? Skip drones. Figure out self-driving car consortiums. Uber + shared self-deriving vehicles + Jet Amazon home delivery Amazon at all.
"He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service. North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens, a public housing project in Southeast Washington, D.C."
Are you arguing his unjust conviction was fair?
I'm not even sure his fine was returned, but no matter, he did his community service.
Actually the FRA does bar her from federal employment, if she is found in violation. 18 USC 2071:
"Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. "
I'm betting 'office' does not include the office of President, but that Supreme Court hearing would be worth the popcorn to go watch.
The Federal Records Act doesn't permit even accidental deletion. Records are to be archived, without exception. In email, this means that deletion only impacts the readable and usable record, all must be preserved.
And if you know anything about email servers that are authorized for federal use, actual complete deletion is nontrivial.
And this is what we're reduced to. Prima facie evidence of criminal activity, and the justification for failure to prosecute is either that it would be unseemly for the bureaucracy, still controlled by the political party of whom the guilty party is still not only a member, but campaigning for the highest elective office in the land under their banner,to so so, because that party would successfully argue that the opposition was using this plainly and clearly criminal activity to discredit and defeat the guilty party.
And it does not matter why the opposition would work for this person's conviction. She is guilty. Anyone who does not already know this is either uninterested or unwilling to examine the plain facts.
Hillary Rodham Clinton violated the Federal Records Act, repeatedly, That is obvious on inspection. To argue otherwise is to ignore the evidence or choose to refuse to take the only proper actions.
On the one hand, this is entirely proper. The intelligence community should not become the civil investigation arm of the government,.
On the other hand, this leaves most of the nation open to blackmail or extortion. But that is the bargain with intelligence agencies. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Not that any of this matters legally, as he is conferred citizenship by his mother's birth.
The issue only demonstrates his lack of clarity, honesty, and distrust of everyone outside his trust circle. Which is similar to the Clintons' behavior.
At one time many terminals used a special warble to train to 300 baud. US Robotics Total Control pools would train in 3 seconds, which made a 10 second capture possible.
I no longer date my education experience at all, nor employment experience beyond 10 years. The only risk point now is HR, when they get data from you and need a birth date for something or other. Serious corporations make the haring decision before they let HR loose on you, to avoid potential lawsuits for what would, clearly, be age discrimination if they withdrew an offer after your I-9 etc. got filed.
Though this is still a risk if they vet your education and get transcripts. Serious corporations, again do that after an offer contingent on validating your educational resume.

Of course it was open membership.

I abandon them 100% of the time, so far.
Federal Records Act. . Multiple violations, from deleting to failure to preserve, which are different violations but would be plead as one.

"The only rules possibly violated have more to do with to officials records act."
And those are sufficient for a criminal conviction.

They did adequately with Col. Oliver North and Scooter Libby... Apparently your memory or research is imperfect.
Scooter Libby got 30 months in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, and two years of supervised release, including 400 hours of community service.
Fair? Will Hillary face the statutory minimums for her transgressions?
"How about we make this about anyone breaking rules, D or R, gets punished."
Looks like that may yet happen in this instance.
You never had control of your home systems. Windows is not yours to control, and never was.
Unless you think being obsolete or vulnerable is being 'in control'.
Are you sure that's not equally driven by geolocation? Or user search history?
Try once searching for 'storage containers ' and see what happens to your results for the next few weeks.

There are no guarantees.
Illegal? In most states, and federally, I think, IT staff is classified as 'exempt'. Unpleasant, abusive, but not always illegal.
