The lawsuit is to prevent the possible outcomes you mentioned. They're not inevitable.

See title.

And yet STEM is graded on a spectrum, from zero to one hundred, from A to F.

I think it helps keep Google and Chromium at bay, for what thatâ(TM)s worth.

As if all the hacking and ransomware out there is just for the lols. Come on. There have to be reasons. Such as: make money, cause damage, gather intelligence, do surveillance, do espionage⦠If itâ(TM)s not a gang, syndicate, or group out for money, itâ(TM)s a nation hacking for their own interests. If not those two, itâ(TM)s probably an NGO group that isnâ(TM)t out for money but for activism. If none of all of that, people doing it for the lulz or got the challenge. In that order of likelihood, with the first two - nation-states and gangs/syndicates - neck and neck.

I can count on one hand the number of times Iâ(TM)ve gone to the movies in the last two years. That is down from my usual 2-4 times a month. Meanwhile, Iâ(TM)m not doing the other things you mentioned. Believe it or not, some people can actually moderate their going out and such. In fact, some of us prefer to moderate social interactions. Being goaded into going to the office everyday with 500 to 1,000 people where I work is a lot different than going less than half a dozen movies, each with only half a dozen other people in the whole auditorium.

Iâ(TM)ve been to a buffet three times in the last two years. Each time, the same one, at a quiet time, when there were only two or three employees there, me, my friend, and only three or four other people there. Less than ten people, all spread out. People can truly control themselves regarding exposure.

Itâ(TM)s $3.50 in cash and $6.361 in shares of Take-Two common stock. Itâ(TM)s not leveraged so itâ(TM)s kind of like $12B Iâ(TM)m real money.. The value of the transaction is mind boggling. To put it into perspective, twelve billion seconds is 380 years.

Sounds like it had to do with the DoD IP space which had some stuff start going on in January 21. https://apnews.com/article/tec...

Thatâ(TM)d probably be trademarkable.

I got a deal on an open box configured to order Compaq with ME at Best Buy when I worked there. I remember playing Half life on it and beating it.

HL occasionally had issues with the sound card drivers, but my overall experience with ME was that it was a somewhat better looking version of Windows 98 that even had some touches of Windows 2000 and XP in it.

I think I was done playing games in DOS by that point. Quake ran in Windows, along with Quake 2 and Half Life. I guess I hadnâ(TM)t played Scorched Earth in awhile by then. If I did anything command line back then, Iâ(TM)m guessing CMD or something was good enough for me. Not like I wanted or needed DOS Shell or whatever by then.

Linux was ok back then. I tried it and decided it involved learning lots of things over again. For example, I knew how to make CD-ROM drives work in Windows and how to partition HDDs with Windows and DOS, but trying to get CD-ROM drives mounted and working in Linux on my various computers around then was too much trouble/didnâ(TM)t even work.

I had better luck just SSHing into my collegeâ(TM)s Solaris machines with X and running Xemacs and running stuff via Cygwin on Windows. I downloaded and watched The Matrix, Jackass, Family Guy, and Undergrads on my ME machine.

Back then in the scene, the movies and shows were ripped & encoded or distributed by âoe SMRâ/âoeShadow Movie Realmâ (among other groups). Saved in nAVI or XVID containers with XVID or special nAVI encodingâ¦

Back then, Windows Media Player was tops for playing stuff and VideoLan was still just that - a project for streaming video over a LAN, not a project for playing media files locally.

Skype and SiLK were new back then, having come from KaZaa/Morpheus and Skype had a bunch of competitors back then.

Those were the daysâ¦

âoeIt takes time to redact medical records properly and this is a lot of medical records for more than 44,000 people.â

This sounds like a job for regular expressions to make it go faster. Seriously!

By requiring the parts back as part of the program, they are they are helping to eliminate spare parts on the secondary market by reclaiming the old ones. That is an anti-feature.

Sounds like leasing a tv. I prefer owning my things, thank you very much.

I did not know that and hadnâ(TM)t experienced it despite potentially being exposed to that through Reddit. TIL.

No info in the the article whether the battery operator provided what they promised or whether what the government asked for was reasonable and expected. Itâ(TM)s a shame that the article doesnâ(TM)t even mention the mere existence of the important question of which side might be right. Hopefully the media and Slashdot will post a follow up story on the case or on an investigation into that (which side seems to be correct).
