The answer to the question is easily obtained by following the link to the original question thread. There were a mere 48 questions if you count everything that was down modded. Filter out the hogwash and you're pretty much left with these (pretty good) questions.
We could speculate wildly on the exact reason that/. articles are getting fewer replies than a few years ago, but I prefer not to beat a dead horse.
Thanks to J.C. for the excellent replies. I learned a few new things about one of the only real artists I care to listen to!
The bugs are in the Centum CS 3000 software that controls the SCADA system, not Windows.
When these systems were first being introduced, there were multiple competing standards on design and everything was proprietary. That model hasn't really changed. Some manufacturers, like ABB, do offer an upgrade path to transition from an older model to a newer model. If you wanted to transition from one manufacturer to another though, you're SOL. So, if you bought into a system that is now defunct, you'll have to reprogram your entire process from scratch. If the toolsets are different (and they will be, it was all proprietary) then you're going to have a bad time. That's why ancient systems are still running, bugs and all.
When I enlisted in '96, I was asked why I didn't inform anyone that I was pulled over in 1995. I was questioned as to why I was pulled over and what happened. I didn't think anything of it.
I was not issued any citation for being pulled over as it was a case of mistaken identity. Still, the Navy had a record of it.
Using 100% of my current daily limit, it would take me 16 days to download this game. Taking into account what my wife and kids use on average daily, it would take over 30 days. I have to bring my PC to a co-workers house to download stuff after a Steam sale is done.
Also, thanks for releasing all those tracks for Ultrastar DX. My son was absolutely terrified of the Creepy Doll song and my kids love to sing RE:Your Brains (They're 6 and 5).
There are plenty of people who do 1:1 backups of movies and music. It's extremely convenient. I don't handle any physical media more than once. It keeps the house tidy and the disks in pristine shape if I ever need to re-rip.
Around 6 months ago I had a similar problem to the story. My media drive died a sudden death (Seagate drive, never again). I had all of my family pictures, home movies, music, and movies on that drive. I had done backups and stored them remotely and was able to recover most of what I had. A few re-rips of some movies and I was done.
The time investment necessary to rip a 1:1 copy for a large collection is not insignificant. I probably should setup raid + parity at some point but right now I'm only doing a clone of my stuff. I don't have bandwidth capacity at home to use any sort of cloud storage.
Some guy at Microsoft named Paul Cook (yep, that guy), wrote this. Microsoft is simply doing the right thing in an effort to limit the spread of infections. They can see it's not legit, they just don't care.

Read the sections on "information we collect" then read the section on "information we share".
Those two sections are not mutually exclusive. The information collected is the same as the information they share. You already gave them permission to do so.
I'm not disputing the fact that they also setup API's to allow easier targeting for ads, that's also part of their business model. It's just not their ONLY business.
We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google when we have your consent to do so. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information..
So Google does "share" data with advertisers as part of their money stream. A very specific subset is opt-in, but everything else is opt-out. If services get updated and you're not careful, you can miss an opt-out. See Privacy and Copyright Protection
I'm not sure how anyone can read that and not understand that they're selling your data. They're just calling it sharing. Everything in the EULA you already agreed to in order for you to use a Google service grants them the permission they need.
This is exactly what I was going to bring up. I use the form (full_name_no_periods)@gmail for regular things. Any other variation is set to filter to spam.
You're assuming there are no medical conditions that are treated with birth control. Women I've known have had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis, both of which can be treated with long term birth control.
The total lifetime cost of paying for treatment is not insubstantial.
I would be fine using my own Windows machines (I have an 8.1, a 7, and a Vista at home), so yes. In the last few years, all of the compromises to my credit cards have been due to improper server admin somewhere in the "cloud", the latest being Target.
I'd also be fine using a Chromebook, but they don't do enough for me to even consider one.
If it's on my MP3 player, right click the folder and select 'create playlist'. Everything on my MP3 player can just be copy/paste from the PC. Since it's already in a folder list by/artist/album/ it's easy to find.
If I'm on the PC, right click folder and 'add to VLC media player playlist'.
If you want to save the playlist for multiple playbacks, save the playlist with VLC.
I've checked a few places and it seems as though you can expect a 70% power efficiency with this type of inductive charger. Some of the higher end models reach as much as 85%.
It strikes me as odd that in a time where we want as much energy efficiency as possible, we'd push towards something much less efficient with the potential to be so widespread.
As an INTJ personality type, I applaud Google's attempt to automate human interaction. If they integrated this with Google Glass and I could automate pleasantries, I'd buy one.

This would seem to be right up your alley.

1920 x 1920 IPS panel. Seems like it would fit in nicely for a number of situations.

Hi Jon. Have you been approached for Portal 3?

That's a false dichotomy if I ever saw one.
You're not 100% right, but you're close.
Some guy at Microsoft named Paul Cook (yep, that guy), wrote this. Microsoft is simply doing the right thing in an effort to limit the spread of infections. They can see it's not legit, they just don't care.
Contrary to the assertion in the story, I've never been there.
Very entertaining.

Hory. Fucking. Shit. I just raffed out roud.

There's actually a list of GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) at the FDA Website. To my knowledge, GM foods fall under this listing.

and here's a short listing for GM items listed under GRAS.

I bet Brian May could help Icecube. They should collaborate.

Why must you re-open that old wound of mine. I'm going to go cry now.
My electric heat is powered from the nuclear plant ~5 miles from my home. Then I go to work at a wood burning power plant.
There are fewer coal plants being authorized for building and many existing coal plants are being converted to biomass or closed.
