Ah yes, I guess they weren't *true* Scotsmen either?
In this case, I mean literally... literally. You can find citations trivially. Everyone should know this by now. If you want to talk about Nazis, you should know something about Nazis.
"Remember, Na-Zi means National SOCIALIST, and that's that fascism is."
Remember, the Nazis literally called themselves socialists to fool stupid people, and you also don't know what either socialism or fascism is if you think one is a type of the other.
He wasn't a Nazi but George Washington did a genocide and was named "Town Killer" for it. And before someone points out that was his father, no, his father (who was also named George) ALSO did a genocide and was called the same thing for the same reason.
The situation in Tehran is the result of "a perfect storm of climate change and corruption,"
The current Iranian regime seems pretty "Off with their heads!" for the slightest infraction and they can't punish whatever corruption is at play here? Is it because it's being done by those in religious/political/financial (whatever) power rather than rabble?

You and me both but most people only score feature count. If they've grown accustomed to some oddball feature for a few months they feel they can never use anything else.
That they went their entire lives without it before isn't relevant.
From a market perspective, rushing more features to market makes more people with money happy than getting a good product to market.
NT existed when IBM brought out at least two major versions of OS/2 without such features while NT had them, so... No.
There is no such thing as anti-hydrogen. You have the anti-proton, with negative charge; and the positron, with neutral charge. The positron will not orbit the anti-proton. You cannot make molecules out of anti-matter.
Wikipedia says otherwise: Antihydrogen.
Antiprotons have a charge of -1e and positrons have a charge of +1e.
Sounds like they're also recommending people purchase more expensive HW products to get that feature -- or have it enabled. So the answer is - as usual: greed.
"HEVC video playback is available on Dell's premium systems and in select standard models equipped with hardware or software, such as integrated 4K displays, discrete graphics cards, Dolby Vision, or Cyberlink BluRay software.
It sounds like Nokia, once a great company, thought they would just pay up? But I read elsewhere that a patent troll called Avanci was behind the shakedowns?
If HP and Dell begin to make this more common and could encourage Lenovo and Apple to follow suit, then the "default H.anything" crowd might start to think seriously about moving to AV1 to drop the revenue of the trolls to zero over time. Hardware support for decode is mostly complete with more CPU's bringing encode online recently. I remember when Steve Jobs went to bat against the trolls for h.264 decode; Apple should do it in his memory.
Separately, Google seriously needs to flex against patent trolls when required. Heck, Lou Rossman is more aggressive than Google on defending the community against patent trolls.
Speaking of which USPTO intends to stop challenges to patent trolls and maybe you, dear reader, should spend five minutes to fire off an email to help EFF try to head this one off at the pass.
Even if it is in the largest font size, is the average person even going to understand what the ramifications are?
No, but it would let people who care know, and it would let people who potentially care google and find out.
My question is, why only 10 hours a month!?!? I'm sure that's the only reason it's free, but that should also alleviate some of the bandwidth usage concerns.
I would tend to assume that if you pay you get more, so it's just a trial version, and this is just an indirect slashvertisement.
There really needs to be an international age verification working group that spends the next five years coming up with a system, then pressures everyone to implement it.
I don't think creating a centralized world ID database is going to be a win at this point.
OS/2 had no security features needed for multiuser support. It might as well have been classic MacOS. Citrix had a multiuser version of OS/2 with security tacked on, but it wasn't a realistic solution and was never popular. Building an OS without security was the moronic decision that killed it. Plus IBM never did anything meaningful to promote it so nobody cared. That it was used anywhere (especially in ATMs) was a horrible decision itself because of the lack of security features and has created untold woes. Maybe nobody ever got fired because they bought IBM, but they should have.
