It's difficult to say, "yeah, we haven't touched this in 30+ years so that will be $1500 for the files" so they're going to fluff out a lot of man hours, mostly marketing and advertising bullshit, and then watch the checks roll in. Mono(poly)type at its finest.
Every time you hear a conversation in a cow-orker's office, or the phone rings, or someone steps up to your cube to talk about who the fuck knows what and then yells at you two hours later because you didn't do anything today (despite the fact you just spent the last three hours listening to them talk about car crap while you were trying to work), share your displeasure with a blast of an air horn.
The NSA... the agency responsible for keeping government secrets actually secret... can't keep its own systems secured. This same government wants unfettered access to all encrypted systems, and already has the ability to tap any phone anywhere in the US from the comfort of their living room sofa. Not scary at all. Nope.
And anybody and anything that half-way looks at your phone. Why doesn't the CFAA apply to these companies forcibly installing unwanted software on my pocket computer and making it impossible to uninstall that software?
Bill Methmaker says, "FUCK YOU COPS. COME BACK WITH A WARRANT."
Wanda Punchingbag-Methmaker says, "HELL NO. IGNORE HIM. SEARCH IT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. HE'S MAKING METH, CHEATING ON ME, AND HE PUNCHED ME."
Guess what, that's consent to search. However, I would really hope that the police would at the very least have the person sign an affidavit consenting to the search. Paperwork is important in a nation of laws.
The fun isn't over until you can get a quarterly subscription to a stack of DVDs or USB jump drives or something containing "100,000 of the best [platform] Mobile Apps" delivered to your door for the low, low price of $125 per quarter.
If IBM were to get into search, it would be an expensive enterprise product. They don't do "commodity grade" anything. They just don't get the business concept.
For the longest time I had a fake facebook account, as did an acquaintance. Despite the fact that neither of those accounts were connected to our real lives, and the fake accounts did not follow each other, Facebook was able to suggest I may know my acquaintances brother...
Facebook is a stalker so dedicated to looking in your windows while masturbating in the bushes behind your house that it not only planted the bushes, but also built the house.
Seriously. This year has been a non-stop onslaught of "YOU WILL EAT BUGS". It's DeBeers diamonds all over again.
Stop trying to manipulate me you shitbags. I'm eating a goddamned steak wrapped in bacon wrapped in a bigger steak, served between two pork chops. FOADIAF.
If I were speculating, and I am, it probably involves an exchange of money, an NDA, and enough hassle that unless you were an established publisher you wouldn't want to bother.
The scared masses will do anything to feel safer, for the children, and their children's children. We restrict the ability of the rabid hordes with just laws, rules, and a system that was supposed to make passing laws at the national level a major pain. Unfortunately that system has failed and we are left with mandatory sexual molestation at airports. But hey, if it saves just one life, it's worth it.
Oh hell no. Listening to raw tracks is a bit like seeing a first thing in the morning. Have you actually taken a song from raw tracks to a final mix? It's not exactly an easy task. If you really want to try it, take a look at http://www.shakingthrough.com/stems and have fun with your favorite DAW.
Yes, a difference is noticeable on many recordings, but most of the time it doesn't degrade the listening experience. On the contrary, lossy recordings played on crap speakers in a crap listening space often sound better than those same recordings in lossless format on proper studio monitors in a proper listening space.

Chronic hacking victim doesn't see what the big deal is.
Netcraft confirms it, BSD is dead.
Too stupid to understand routing, but smart enough to write kernel code? Something doesn't add up here.
Be a shame if something happen to it.
Color me shocked.
You are wealthy when you can live comfortably off the income of your income.

Yeah, that's still a thing, for a reason. They should seriously go the Akamai route... that way access ISPs can tout a "fully-Netflixed network!"
Just what I needed to read on singles shaming day.

Imagine living as a male for 1200 years, and suddenly you are a woman. That would cause... issues...

1) Burglars like to see where they are going
2) turn off your goddamned lights when not needed

Yeah, like I'm letting that machine onto the public internet. Long uptimes aren't about reliable operating systems. It's all about reliable power.
