That apprehension will fade fast, and folks will get to enjoy that time more.

If not they need any public funding withdrawn, and get the ITT Treatment with regards to student loans.

Goodness knows this one stunk before it ever started.

A %17 pullback after doubling? seriously, that's not hardly a plummet

They need to learn the lesson from World of Warcraft. Take a LOT of that early money, and make more and more content. Also respond quickly to negative feedback/bugs etc.

That's a pretty quotable remark your kid made :-)

A courteous employer, that cashes out unused Time off, provides severance when laying off employees, even gives a heads up that layoffs might come in bad times, deserves an effort on your part to minimize the impact of your departure. An employer who doesn't pay out all of the left over vacation time, or lays folks off without severance, or is abusive, you can still be the bigger person, but it's not necessary.

They are arguing that they will still be relevant, when the vast majority of their usefulness evaporates.

There was a warrant, the fight was whether or not the warrant was legit,and the ruling was 'Yes'. From the PDF on EFFs site: The Court held hearings to address these Motions on May 19, 2016, May 26, 2016, and June 14, 2016. The Court FINDS, for the reasons stated herein, that probable cause supported the warrant's issuance, that the warrant was sufficiently specific, that the triggering event occurred, that Defendant is not entitled to a Franks hearing, and that the magistrate judge did not exceed her jurisdiction or authority in issuing the warrant

Wiretaps require a warrant. Why would a computer be any different? I'm sure this has been settled in dozens of other cases, and will die quickly in appeal.

This is incredible technology, The daisy chain gene drive though is about as hard core sci-fi as you can get. But genetics are essentially hyper complex software, and a lot can go wrong when jumping in on someone else's undocumented code.

Destroy all Humans bzzp bzzp!

Microsoft's move to open source,and set free some very powerful programming tools, carries well into this story. Developers choose Java because it was believed to be free/open But as far as Oracle is concerned, it's not. I really do think .net core can fill this role now.
