Talented creative assholes are still assholes.

He claims opaque walls and doors keep law enforcement from gaining access to key evidence as it relates to active criminal investigations. "People are less safe as a result of it," he said.

Panopticons for everyone!!!!!!

Of course! Now that Windows is a "service", all our files belong to Micro$oft!

Gee, I wonder why somebody suddenly wants to call attention to this outlandish story that alleges the FBI is riddled with corrupt yet devilishly competent conspirators who have been able to conceal the real identity of the most famous hijacker in history for over four decades?

"are timeless" Your verb number should agree with your subject.

If there is, and its use starts to cut into corporate profits, look for the federal government to privatize it and sell it at a bargain-basement price to a huge company in the name of "smaller government". And people who cry "state's rights!" and "local control" and "That government is best which governs least" will shamelessly support this tragedy of the digital commons.

My thoughts exactly. Binge watching can highlight the faults in a show, faults that you might forget about if you have to wait a week between episodes and a year or more between seasons. For example, when I watched the Battlestar Galactica reboot as it aired originally, I didn't take the religious components seriously, and was pissed when they ended it the way they did. A few years later, I binge watched it over a week or so and realised that the religiosity that I had just considered part of the background culture of the society being portrayed in the show was actually the writers engaging in a long drawn out Deus ex machina.

If you can't run a business without immunity for the damage you do to other people and their property, maybe you shouldn't be in business?

I've got an old laptop, around five or six years old, that I refurbished and tried to load Linux on. No matter what distro's live iso I tried, the internal screen would go black after the initial text menu. An external monitor plugged into the laptop would work fine, but what's the friggin point of a laptop that only works when plugged into an external monitor? None of the dozens of suggestions I found on the web helped one bit. This is apparently a bug that goes back years. I gave up, installed Windows 10, and the damn thing works great. Linux is a long, LONG way from being acceptable for the casual user who just wants to use their computer and isn't interested in fidgeting with and tweaking an OS just to get it to load on their hardware, and calling them "obscenely lazy" for it is arrogant, elitist, and pointless.

Why would anybody retire to Pittsburgh? I thought engineers made enough to retire to somewhere worth living.

I was born in the late 50's and I'd have trouble telling you which networks air the programs I watch. Off the top of my head, the only ones I can match for certain are "Game Of Thrones=HBO" and "Orange Is The New Black=Netflix". Does that mean I'm a millennial or stupid, or that the concept of a programming network is outdated?

Plugh!

Funny how people born wealthy seem to lead fulfilling lives without the need to scramble for a living to provide them with meaning and purpose.

Democracy is the sheep getting together and telling the wolves that mutton and lamb are off the menu.

The Dickian "pre-crime" possibilities of knowing everything someone looks at or talks about on the net is so obvious that I assumed that everyone knew it was coming, so my only surprise in reading this story is that Zuckerberg slipped up, even momentarily, and admitted that's what he was working towards.
