The only way Feinstein will ever be out of office is in a casket. She's too entrenched with the powers that matter (hell with the voters) to get voted out.
To increase profits. A company these days can't be satisfied with a 20% margin, you've got to push to 25%. After your customers get used to that, push it up higher. Higher!
By creating a planetary network, mankind on Planet now has the ability to share information at light-speed. But by creating a single such network, each faction has brought themselves closer to discovery as well. At the speed of light, we will catch your information, tag it like an animal in the wild, and release it unharmed-if such should serve our purposes.
This would have be been also, I did a lot of tinkering with electronic stuff when I was a kid (80's). I even set up clocks that *gasp* counted down!!! Obviously I must be a sleeper agent just waiting to strike again...
This is just sad and pathetic, and then people wonder why kids don't want to go into scientific/engineering fields.
You think if he came back home he'd get a soapbox? He'd get a show trial with the spin machine in the media cranked up to 11.
The only question is whether they'd break him like they did Manning (Edward becomes Edwina), lock him away for life, or find an excuse to execute him under the Espionage Act.
A very large part of Microsoft's business is the enterprise and business world. That's where it matters a lot more than what ordinary people are using to go to facebook and pintrest.
So if enough people don't believe something and flag it false, it becomes "false." Something else for paid shills and opinionated people to do I suppose.
Exactly. Far too many children are coddled and protected far too much growing up. Kids need to learn that not every day is happy sunshine fun land while they're kids. Yeah, it's no fun being punished/disciplined for screwing up, or failing at something, but when you're a kid the stakes are low. I see far too many young people where I work (college) that are on their own for the first time and have never worked at anything in their whole life, never had someone not holding their hand and wiping their nose. What happens? They fall flat on their face and then howl that it's not fair.
Better to learn early how to struggle and persevere and succeed than to coast into failure later.
They can make it a law in Illinois and until someone sues their way up to a Federal court, and the Feds file an injunction to stop enforcement of the Illinois law.
1) Who said anything about micromanaging? Find a server that's pleasant, has some of the same values that you're hoping for (friendly, non-adult language, etc) and point your kid there. If he/she likes it, they'll stay there.
2) If you don't want your kid killing anything at all, there's always creative mode where nothing ever tries to kill you either. If breeding cattle, chickens, sheep, etc and then eating them is "sex & violence" then I don't know what to say. You can only shield your child from so many things.
Bottom line: If you can't go through the bother of finding somewhere nice, and just plop down wherever you find first, you get what you get. Throw a dart at a map of a major city and live where it lands, see how well things turn out.
To be fair, have you listened to some of what NFL announcers say these days? Most of it is pretty damn stupid, even when they're keeping their remarks to football. I consider it lucky if they can tell the difference between a run play and a pass play...telling the difference between 2 gadgets? Nope.
Where are customers supposed to flee to? Many of these companies are de facto monopolies in many areas or at the very least in lock-step with their "competitors." There aren't very many choices for tech companies unless you want to do without, which is unpalatable for many.
Maybe it's just silly, but I'm really scared of someone shooting a laser into my eye. I don't want to be that 0.01% of cases that has something horrible happen.
I don't know who modded you up +5, but buy a clue. When a corporation is being sued/indicted it's that organization that is being taken to court, not it's individual employees, agents, or officers (unless some serious misconduct is happening individually). Therefore the legal entity (i.e. the Corporation) gains some of the legal benefits (4th Amendment) and responsibilities because that is the purpose of a corporation: to create a legal entity that stands apart from the individual members on it's own behalf.
Look up the meaning of the phrase "corporate veil."

Come on Putin, as long as we're rebuilding the Soviet Union, bring ternary computing back for a second go-round!

Isn't it amazing what a company can do when they have way too much money and no idea what to do with it?

I for one welcome our future biologic, ATP-powered Mentat overlords.
A "fair trial" for him ends with him in prison for life, or worse. Stay in Russia and enjoy what little freedom you have Mr. Snowden.
I never thought I could say that goatse was relevant to a discussion here, but I think that sums up the government's stance on encryption fairly well.
Don't forget the Google updater that manages to make systems crawl somehow.

Same thing as every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!!
Does anything ever sound like a bad idea to scientists?

6 years gives plenty of time for companies to change the tune of the Irish govt by greasing a few palms.

So....just like with any other online game, find some decent servers that don't put up with "adult language" or griefing.

Not unless those signatures have money backing them. Money wins elections, not votes.
