A $60,000 SUV is being sold below cost? What a nice guy!

You could get Microsoft Word for Unix and it would run on things like an AT&T 3B2 using dumb terminals.

It was horrible. A group I worked for tried to do a document in it and they ended up having to use a file per chapter (or less) and could never get the auto indexing stuff or even page numbers to work properly. We ended up using TeX for the inch thick book.

Former - Sure, you can solicit them AFTER you are not on the payroll.

Soon to be Former? Not so much. You can tell them you are leaving BUT you cannot initiate a conversation about possible positions for them at your destination in an effort to get them to leave with you. The restriction is on you recruiting... Now you CAN discuss possible jobs for them if THEY bring it up upon hearing of your intention to leave, you just cannot bring it up.

Practically though, let's admit that it's a hard sell to take a former employee to court over something like this. The distinction is a very fine one, but what's over the line and what's not easily described and certainly not easy to prove, even in a civil court. Employers rarely try this in the courts, it's just too expensive for most companies and doesn't really get you anything.. But in the case of Apple, who has money to burn and apparently a score to settle, it might be worth the expense to get the FUD Train fueled up to run over the fledgling company with PR.

AMD has security issues also, they've "burned" us too.

They aren't the saviors

intel sat on there ass with raid keys and other rips offs for years when they Where better then AMD till zen.

but asian brands are all over the place here

more pci-e lower price the mac pro is DOA with intel and it's high price.

An AMD threadripper an smoke that thing at more then half the cost. With 64 true cpu pci-e lanes.

If I could stop myself from snacking between dinner and bedtime,
I would lose a couple of pounds a month.

yeah it's actually most of them only affect Intel CPU. the few that affects other CPUs such as spectre affected ALL out of order CPUs including Arm and Power.

I particularly liked how they could take an old rusty hunk of junk and make it look almost new.
I wonder if gas torch could do as well.

Its the embrace part of embrace, enhance, extinguish. The ultimate aim of this is to make money for windows. And, another observation, is the needed server , running on Linux?

Are you talking about that country which lasted for 73 and had fallen apart 28 years ago?

Hehehehe. Unfortunately, I keep these emails because of just one Yahoo breach (account disabled years before that) and one empty password where I have no idea where they got that from. So not reliable, unfortunately.

nagging you say your password is over used will just lead even more remember my password.

No Dumb rules and forced changing leads to passwords on post it's

Because the default position of the anti-science left is that freedom is a threat.

You know the saying: "If you aren't paying for the product, you're the product being sold." Step 1: Offer service for free to build trust to weed out the viruses, Trojans, spyware, and ransomware. Step 2: Worm your services so deep as to manifest symptoms and problems. Act like a virus. Step 3: Embed other services and recommendations in the guise of something useful. Act like a Trojan. Step 4: Record browsing and general computer habits to on-sell to anyone willing to pay for it. Act like spyware. Step 5: Locate any competing malware or "services" to the above, identify them as threats, and offer to remove them, but only if you first upgrade to Premium. Act like ransomware. My bet is Step 5 will start as early as 2020. Happy New Years!

HOAs are also job security packages for lawyers. In my state, it's legislated that all new subdivisions have HOAs. It's also legislated that all HOAs have legal representation at mandatory periodic HOA meetings.

You wanna guess who lobbied for those laws? Hint: it wasn't concerned citizens. It wasn't the developers or the contractors.

Oh right, the solution is so simple! Why hasn't every single third world country just improved their economy so solve their overpopulation problem! It's amazing how simple this is!

Except reality sort of gets in the way. Our planet's population problem is largely in third world nations and we're well over a half century past colonialism and they still haven't gotten their economies together. It's great you can site obvious trends but you've completely failed to provide an actual solution. You've just stated what everyone already knows without providing the crucial in-between. Your post might just as well be a plan drafted by South Park's Underwear Gnomes.

That one is simple: You can implement that with a post-it on your monitor telling you that Google does it.

Amen. But rather than depending on "rule of law" to eventually punish censors, let's get a global satellite Internet working. You could only censor it by shooting down satellites faster than Elon Musk can send them up. Good luck with that.

The fact that you're resorting to puerile insults shows everyone except perhaps yourself who's having the better of this debate. That you can't see that your supplied statistics about small Delaware and populous Pennsylvania prove my initial major point....

And sends them to Google? Excellent! Never wonder whether your passwords were stolen, be sure they were! Also be sure that any cop, customs official, etc. has all your passwords!
