About 5-years ago I was telling my friends that Blackberry needed to port their stack to Android and be the "enterprise" version. Instead "tablets are cool"!

The article mentions this is based on sites compromised, I wonder if this list isn't to some extent self-selecting towards bad passwords. Lower value sites are more likely to be compromised than high value sites like Amazon or Google, and on low value sites people are much more likely to use garbage. Personally I use a pw database but still use junk passwords on sites when its irrelevant if the account were to be compromised.

Wasn't there a paper recently about how walking for 30-minutes countered about 4-hours of sitting?

All collapse eventually.

Lots of manufacturers have professional grade workstation laptops, why aren't you buying those? (Or as others suggested desktop PCs)

I've advocated to people for quite a while that they'd be better off buying a season on DVD once a month rather than cable subscriptions. Seasons are typically 20-50$, if you trickle it out over a month you're saving money, plus a year or two later you still own the content and can watch it for free if you feel like it.

Given Intel offers SKUs with higher performance graphics parts (iris) they are effectively competing with the lower end of the discrete GPU market, and probably over time hope to keep raising the bar.

I still use my ~25-year old Sony Dream Machine alarm clock every day!

I suspect unlimited will function like a current libraries, much like Netflix is an alternative to blockbuster not the theatre or purchases. Similarly Unlimited probably won't have the latest and greatest, rather slightly older books and series before a new one is released. (Series often sell for $1.99 or even free to promote the newer books)

From some of the stories we've had in Canada, its probably less tech companies and more banks etc. replacing their IT groups with a third-party contractor that only hires imported workers.

Sorry but your reasoning is bullshit. Before the internet people blamed cable tv, before cable it was music or tv or radio, the reality is that you're choosing not to read.

I'd say there is logic in not bothering to make the change, it takes effort and brings no value. My experience has been that gendered pronouns are often used in documentation, though usually they use a mix of the two genders.

That said there isn't logic in attempting to revert the commit when another committer merged it (unless the rule was that documentation would use a gendered pronoun). Though I also don't think the tone and content of Joyents post is appropriate either.

I question whether the author has any right to release it at all. Sounds like it was done as a work for hire thus she doesn't doesn't own the copyright.

I believe the point is that the drop down menu includes all the search providers. Personally I would like this, seems like I always have Wikipedia selected when I want Google and Google selected when I want Wikipedia.

This doesn't work. The issue isn't a node connecting to the network and having access to all data, the issue is that any user's home node explicitly has access to anything the user has been granted permission to.
