Microsoft participates in FOSS a lot more than you may realize. For instance, Microsoft is a member of the GNOME foundation
Based on their absence from the top 36, Microsoft participates less than you realize.

It means big pharm will have something to say about it..

The more features something has, the more likely an oversight in the design or implementation will prove to be a liability.
The more features something lacks, the more likely a work-around hack will prove to be a liability.
Just use the right tool for the job and you don't have that problem (in this case).
I'd like an app that'd help me diagnose bad noises my car makes
There are many. Most make use of an obd2 -> bluetooth dongle.
You know, when VR was in the spotlight the first time?
The headsets are slightly smaller. Not much, but slightly. Maybe the name should be changed as with client-server becoming cloud! With a name change everything old is new again.
The police just killed a unarmed, white, middle-aged guy in PA. By the way, this wasn't the first time. I thought maybe you didn't know that, being in your racist echo chamber.
Right but there is a much better chance of the shooters at least going on trial for the murder in this case.
The right to bear arms doesn't give you the right to actually use those arms. Just having the right to carry a gun doesn't implicitly give you the right to commit a murder (whether in self defence or not).
It does if the murdered is black. Just ask any police department in the country!
Probably not. Any hacker with two brain cells to rub together would quietly infiltrate systems in company A, from there infiltrate Company B, C & D, rinse/repeat until sufficient layers of abstraction sit between them & their target, and then use them to attack the real target. If the response of victim X is to nuke the IPs from which the attack came, they are a) hitting the wrong entity, b) potentially destroying evidence left by the real perps, and c) probably initiating a re-retaliation from the victim of their attack.
... and so begins Internet War 1!
Laptops, with the exception of gaming consoles. A high wattage XBox 360 with a RROD is a perfect example.
Never mind the obvious contributions of an insufficient cooling system here.
I dont think telling people you can fix a mac book by baking it will end well. So perhaps a disclaimer saying NOT to do this would be in order?
It's probably the best thing for someone dumb enough to buy and bake the worlds most expensive PC.
Whenever the CIA admits to something, I wonder, what's the bigger lie they're trying to cover up? Or, am I just being paranoid?
Citizens of other countries might think you're being paranoid. To Americans, it's obvious that you are right.
However in this case it might not be so much of a "cover up" as it is an effort to get everyone's mind off of torture.
How does turning them into criminals "do away" with them? Are you suggesting a life sentence?
Obviously EzInKy believes that only the death penalty is a sufficient pentalty for DUI. I say we change that to death by public torture. Then we can charge admission for the good people of California to be entertained!
I really don't think that'll help, mainly because those that are already intoxicated are already not of sound-mind and are not thinking about penalties. Adding penalties isn't going to solve the problem. Unfortunately the only thing that I can think of that might make a dent would be to penalize establishments that serve patrons until they're legally drunk (as there are a lot of places with laws that should make establishments cut-off those that are drunk from continuing to be served) but given that drunks continuing to buy more drinks is what keeps the drinking establishments open, I don't think such penalties will ever be enacted. Remember, it's those 10-20% of consumers of a product that consume it to excess that make the product profitable. Casual drinkers aren't where the profit is, binge or excessive drinkers are.
You're legally intoxicated for purposes of DUI in most states after 1 or 2 drinks. You expect bartenders to serve patrons only one drink and kick them out?
These various silly "extras" that we add on to DUI sentences don't seem to do much to reduce the DUI rates in this country.
No, but they help line the politicians pockets. Which, of course, is what being a politician in America is all about. Why would you even question it?
Oh, so there you are!
