I stand corrected. Looks like he stepped down last March.

Technically he's at GameStop now. Bowser took his job.

But everyone I've met this past year born in that decade are in their 90s, so it must be true. QED.

Half the point of the laptops is "technological literacy" isn't it. What better step than teaching students basic computer setup and troubleshooting skills by having them walk through these steps. If our population can't even managed figuring out how to connect the red plug to the red hole, then we're in serious trouble.

I think most of it was just lucky timing. Facebook caught the market just as the moms and dads were joining. Kids will move on to the next thing, but the parents won't. MySpace came too early, Google+ was too late.

This is Germany so I don't know the applicable laws, but in the US, a death during the commission of a high risk crime, whether intentional or not, can in some cases be treated as murder.

These chips have already been in development for awhile. Contractually, they're supposed to be ready come April next year.

NASA uses old technology for multiple reasons. Reasons include 1. the stuff you use in your systems wouldn't last more than a few months, if not weeks, in since. 2. There isn't a large market for RAD hard stuff so getting it since rated costs tens of millions of dollars. There RAD hard Virtex 5 I heard sold for $100,000 a chip and that was after the government ponied up cash to get them made in the first place. 3. I believe the system specs are locked in early in the design process. A 10 year development time frame means your chip will be 10 years old by the time it flies. NASA tried to stay pretty up to date on technology and even leads on some fronts, but when you're in a unique and customer limited market, you have to work with what you have. And no large semiconductor manufacturer is even thinking about the space market when they're making their design decisions.

Looks like you're probably getting your browsers mixed up. Looks like Opera was sold to a Chinese company prompting it's CEO to quit and start up Vivaldi. I can't find any evidence that Vivaldi was also bought by a Chinese company. https://www.reuters.com/articl...

Wouldn't it be the US electronic network or USenet?

Really, the only metric that matters, at least in terms of saving lives, is the excess deaths. Taking measures that prevents people dying from covid doesn't really matter if your policies cause more people to die of other things. It's also easier to hide covid deaths than total deaths. By that metric, the US is right in line with much of Europe. Obviously, things may change but as of now, the US isn't particularly worse for wear than most other nations.

Maybe not directly, but if it doesn't affect the death count, why are we eating money on it then?

If you're not happy with these lawyers, you can always opt out of the settlement and pursue your own.

If I remember correctly, the lawyer fees for the settlement are fixed. It wasn't a large settlement and any money not going to "victims" is scheduled to go a charity of some sort. Fact of the matter is I doubt many people will honestly qualify. You have to have had a Google+ account, have used the account, and have sent a private message on it all between 2015-2018. I far as I have followed things, not many people were using Google+ by that point . Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on something though.

Now if only you could maintain a consistent message within a thread, let alone an entire article.
