Not in this case. Rust (and similar programming approaches) prevent accidental interference between threads (of the same application) at the code execution layer - i.e. they prevent bugs due to programming errors. This attack is happening at the hardware level - the threads in question could be completely different applications and could be written in any language.
I'm a European living in the US. American's are strangely willing to wait (a long time) for tables, and while reservations are a thing at most mid to high end establishments (opentable.com is very popular, and generally works well), you often still have to wait at least a few minutes because frankly they have no idea how to run a reservation book. Chain and casual restaurants are extremely popular here, and never take reservations, and when people decide they want Olive Garden or Outback or whatever they will literally sit outside for an hour waiting.
Huh? Which is the usable mobile OS that's more free/freed/open (using any definition you prefer) than Android? iOS is much further from free than Android, and yet this type of malware simply doesn't exist there. Say what you like about walled gardens restricting personal freedom to tinker (and they certainly do) - from a security point of view Apple have shown themselves to be great guardians of their devices (and, by extension, their users).
This is reminding me why I pay extra for an Apple device every few years.
If your system relies on a specific machine being up at any given time it will fail. You say you don't want to intentionally reboot, but since you're guaranteed to unintentionally reboot it's better to design things so that doesn't matter. In which case, intentional ones don't matter either.
Within the limitations of the law. Harvard does not get to decide that Murder is OK on their campus, because that's illegal everywhere. Same goes for smoking in a bar, it's been deemed in many places that that should not be allowed given the adverse health effects on staff and the public - if you disagree with that feel free to exercise your democratic rights.
The bakery question is, I assume, about bigoted people not wanting to sell cakes to people of certain sexualities. Sexual orientation, in this aspect, is a protected class. Harvard could not legally exclude someone for being gay, or black, or Christian. Likewise the bakery cannot refuse those people service. Harvard can exclude someone for being an offensive moron, and I'm pretty sure the bakery could refuse those same people service for the same reason (IANAL).
For most people, I totally agree. The prints from those places are fine for general use and certainly cheap. I happen to be a photographer and for decent quality printing on good paper you're looking at a more professional lab, where a large print is at least $10, plus shipping, and turnaround time is more like a week. It costs me maybe $1-2 in paper and ink to do the same thing at home, and I can tell right away if the color matching is off and try again.
I will say though, they sell a good number of those polaroid style printers that connect directly to a phone and pop out little instagram sized prints. I have no idea why but I'm not the target market:)
Sure cheap lasers are great for text, they don't do a good job of photos though;) I personally have a brother laser sitting right next to my large format inkjet photo printer.
Core i5 is good for games, sure. But most CPU intensive apps work just great on as many threads as you can throw at them. I spend a lot of time in the Adobe apps, as well as things like Handbrake - my (old) i7 gets plenty of exercise and I'm certainly interested in 8 cores or maybe more. We'll see what happens to the pricing...
Americans have chosen high government spending over time off. Maybe not consciously, but as a consequence of their aggregate voting patterns.
They mention France in the summary. Employees there are guaranteed a minimum of 36 days off per year (including public holidays). They have basically free university education, free healthcare, and many other perks. There's no way you can persuade me they have "low government spending" - and their tax rates are suitably high to pay for all that.
Tell me again how "high government spending" means you can't take time off?
There's no doubt that linux game support has improved, but they're still a tiny minority. This is the list of 2016's best selling games in the US:
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Battlefield 1 The Division NBA 2K17 Madden NFL 17 Grand Theft Auto V Overwatch Call of Duty: Black Ops III FIFA 17 Final Fantasy XV
I have used Zenefits, it's fine. Certainly better than most of the in-house benefits systems that I've used at larger companies (from an employee point of view). Nice slick web site which lets you do pretty much everything you need in one place.
"not culturally compatible"? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
I've worked in technology for 20 years now, in several countries, and I've worked with people from many nations. I've seen good and bad from here and overseas - there's no pattern.
And yet you said yourself, they're not on H1-B. F-1OPT is specifically for people in their position - who have studied here and want to get practical experience in the workforce. If you don't like them, blame whoever hired them.
For anything expensive, sure. But this isn't for that - the buttons are for things you already use, already have decided you like, and don't want to have to think about running out of. I have one for trash bags, for example. I don't need to spend time thinking about trash bags, I just need more to magically appear when I'm nearly out.
It's worth pointing out that iOS doesn't allow apps to access the MAC, IMEI or any other persistent unique ID field (for just this reason). There is a unique ID field designed for apps to use for device identification but it is generated by the device on a per application basis, so it cannot be correlated with other apps. It also changes if you reinstall the app. Both of these facts make it fairly useless for nefarious purposes.
How on earth would Microsoft "thoroughly integrate" something so that "you can't uninstall or or disable it" on a platform owned and controlled by Google. You know, their competitor? Feel free to continue using your phone of choice but at least have a basic understanding of something before jerking your knees so hard you knock the table over.
Console games are $60 (at least in the US). It's also easy to get them for less than that, as an Amazon Prime or Best Buy subscriber you can get them for $48 on release day. I'm also not sure where your $40 figure comes from, everything I can find points to the prices being considerably higher. For example, this article looks at game pricing over history and concludes they're cheaper now than ever (adjusting for inflation).
You are right about phones, but I'd say that the specs of the top end phones have also gone up way faster than "inflation" (whatever that means in these terms) - so comparing "top of the line" then with now is not necessarily fair.
Your numbers are crap. Yes, the Wii outsold basically everything, it was a huge hit. It was also TEN YEARS AGO. Yes the DS/3DS sell great, no doubt. But in the current home console space Nintendo are failing spectacularly.
According to Nintendo themselves, the Wii U has sold 13.4 million units worldwide. Sony and Microsoft don't publish hard numbers, but most estimates have the Xbox One at around 25 million and PS4 at around 49 million. Or a total "not Nintendo" of 74 million. This is despite the Wii U launching a full year earlier than the Xbox One and PS4.

Impressive, seeing as the 8 doesn't come in Rose Gold.

And now every client needs both. Yay?

Sex Trafficking != Prostitution
The latter is legal in (parts of) Nevada, the former certainly isn't. The former also cannot, by definition, involve informed consenting adults.

I can use this to thaw my steaks without accidentally cooking the edges in the microwave? Nice!
They're in stock at canakit right now. Stop arguing and go buy one :) And yes, you have to pay for shipping, but when isn't that the case?
In stock right now. They have the new one too.
You're welcome :)
And interrupt 27h to terminate stay resident :) The fun we used to have with that one in my school PC labs...
