For those who care to know, the show is shot in South Africa and the outfits were made by Eden Wear: https://edenwearlatex.co.za/

I share your sentiment here. I loved the first season and it was fresh and interesting and then.... flying baby snake? What the actual? Season 2 did nothing to improve the situation and actually introduced even more problematic storylines alongside inconsistent character development and plot progression.

What is a great pity is this is one of a handful of shows being filmed in South Africa which will be a blow to people I personally know who work on the show. I hope they can continue to invest in the local economy by leveraging the expertise and resources they used on the show in another show investment.

I know, right?

I mean, am I so out of touch referencing outdated memes for internet points? No, no, clearly its the children who are wrong! :)

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

News at 11: Author with book to sell attempts to raise profile by scaremongering and bullshitting

Cory Doctrow writes fiction. I would argue, not even very good fiction but that's just an opinion.

Which is what his blog post is. Opinion.

Not the opinion of a scientist, engineer or even specialist in the field of autonomous vehicles but rather the opinion of a man with a book to sell.

Taking this seriously would be like arguing we shouldn't have a space program because he wrote a book about how that will cause aliens to attack!

It's only a fallacy if you are not an authority.

This is not true. Evidence - I run a team that supports both and the additional overhead is perhaps 20% more costly in terms of staff but is more than made up for in productivity as users prefer to work in their 'native' environment.

Office on the Mac is the same experience as office on the PC. I have used both extensively. LO is also fine though albeit lacking in functionality for more advanced users.

I have worked many years on a help desk and can honestly say restricting the users to a single supportable choice makes sense only to the people on the helpdesk who limit their skills to a single product offering.

Whenever I read stories like this, ie. Windows vs. Linux vs. OSX vs. it seems to always be from the perspective of the implementers or those looking to make a point about whether it can be done. Why not offer choice? Why the constant insistence that users must have the flavour of the day foisted upon them?

There is complexity in running an estate with multiple OS on offer but the truth is, any sysadmins capable of running a *nix infrastructure and operation should find supporting and mainlining other OS estates relatively straightforward.

In my personal life I make good use of all 3 mainstream OS and at work I have a choice which is made available all users too.

And with modern browsers offering productivity suites through web based platforms and file storage and infrastructure delivered via consolidated IaaS / AWS / Azure / Google Compute / NEOther why does anyone even care about the opinions techies have in regards to their own preferences.

Use what's right for you and let the technology work with your choice to ensure interoperability, security and information management. That's where the techies should focus.

Have you run out of ideas to improve your product? Is listening to your customers too difficult and time consuming?

Why not do what every lazy marketing department does, REBRAND!

It gives the illusion of doing something whilst actually doing nothing. Who cares if you are doing something as long as it _feels_ like you are!

Someone hired you to take over a development that was clearly in trouble.

If it is your honest opinion that the codebase you have to work with is substandard you need to bring this to the attention of the person who pays your invoice.

You should put your case forward in relation to the codebase you have been given to work with and the issues you feel are pertinent. Make it about the code, not the people.

Your statement that "The person who worked on the project before you is well respected in the company" is a subjective one and should not be part of your argument or decision on what needs to happen to fix things.

If they dismiss you for being honest then that is their problem. You will have done your best. That's what you are being paid for.

- $3.2B Moto's 2011 cash

- $2.4B Moto's 2011 deferred tax assets

- $2.35B Moto's Set-top-box business sold in 2012

- $75M Moto's factories business sold in 2013

- $2.91B Moto's Mobility business sold in 2014

So the "patents, engineering talent, and insight into the mobile-device marketplace" cost $1.56B, not $7.1B

Don't forget :

$??? Perpetual licensing agreement to Motorola Patent Portfolio

That's got to be worth a fair chunk of change too.

First off, a BIOS attack? Really? Welcome to the 1980's!

Secondly, Request for software update to attack BIOS? Have you tried to update your BIOS? It aint that easy and any bios made since the late 80's has safeguards to prevent BIOS updates in the way that's described.

Thirdly, to brick enough computers to ruin the US economy using a bios update would be practically impossible. Never mind that such an attack would have to target people stupid enough to apply updates to systems in locked server rooms. Good luck with that!
