With the way the updates have been lately that isn't a good thing. With Android 9 Google broke Bluetooth, fast charging on the Pixel XL, wrecked battery life, accidentally changed battery settings for apps, and numerous other problems. Android 8 was constantly a battle of them breaking Bluetooth every other week. At this point I think half the reason the other manufacturer's hold back on the updates is because Google tends to release them haphazardly and break stuff.

He may have stepped down because he was simply fed up with all the social justice behavior and the attacks on him for not being nice. Effective forcing a see how well you do without Linus situation.

We all know the kind of people that move in loathe to give up power and absolutely would never want him back. He might have more power and control now because he's demonstrated that the project needs him and has shown people who takes over if he leaves.

I'll let those people take over again is a pretty big gun he can now pull.

I disagree here. Netflix's system is a recommendation engine and not a rating engine. Yes, you are correct that a lot of morons misuse the 5 star system, only voting 1 or 5. However, a lot of people also use stuff n the middle. I think for recommendations you could get away with three levels.

0-2 can all be summarized as bad/didn't like. For recommendations, I don't see a lot of value in differentiating between complete garbage and bad stuff I don't want to watch. That could all be boiled down into thumbs down.

However, 3-5 has more granularity than just liking something. There are things I like and will watch, but am not too excited about. Then there are things I really liked and I would like actively recommended to me. I think you need at least thumbs up and two thumbs up for this.

This seems like it is going to result in even shittier recommendations.

Those attempting to enforce the law will always end up regarding rules of conduct and rights as an inconvenience that needs to go away. It makes their job harder. That's why you always need groups pushing back on them to keep such rules and rights in place.

You seem to completely misunderstand why this is bad. It relies entirely on Arena.net's judgement of what violates the "spirit" of the game. Where is the line. Yes, this did damage to the economy and Arena.net should do everything they can to limit and repair that damage. However, if making money in unexpected manners is a bannable offense where is the line? What about the Forge runs in GW1? What about finding a slightly good deal? This just encourages a nanny culture where players report each other because they feel some "retard" isn't playing the game right and arbitrary bans. What Arena.net actually needs are tools and safeguards to limit the damage events like this can cause. I've seen other MMOs ban people for idiotic things such as standing on top of buildings due to this attitude.

I am willing to bet a good deal of it goes on. Allow a trader to engage in activity you claim you don't participate in, if he gets caught then you play the rogue trader card. It just massively backfired this time.

HP doesn't really have an engineering department anymore. Carly Fiorina fired them and spun off all the people who knew how to make stuff into Agilent. All downhill after her.

This! In this case, suggesting they fix can do nothing good for you and they can potentially try to have you prosecuted for unauthorized access. You know you were fired, the letter proves you know that you aren't supposed to be able to access the systems, and it also proves you accessed the system. They won't have an epiphany and hire you back if you point out security flaws, in fact it is more likely they will shoot the messenger. Best case you get a thanks from a company that thinks IT is overpaid and screwed you over. Worst case they attempt to make your life miserable. Furthermore, if you still have access, how many other holes are still sitting around their network? Who else still has access? They don't need a letter helping them plug up a single hole, they need someone like you fixing their security, which ironically they don't have anymore.

You forget, you don't actually have to build a PC to play their games. Most of the games are available on console and actually look better on console than OnLive. So you can fork out $200-300 and just buy an X360 or PS3 and be able to play 90% of their library and tons of games they don't have. I think the biggest hurdle OnLive has is the changing PC marketplace. It used to be PC was the only place you could play shooters and had tons of big exclusives. Now all the mainstream games go cross platform and many PC games are ports from console. The exclusives for PC tends to be big strategy games like Civ and Total War or inde games (which usually have very reasonable system requirements and pricing.) So that's yet another reason OnLive was a bad idea.

There are other options than Norton and McAfee, Kaspersky can be good in a smaller business.

Problem is a lot of these diseases were unheard of due to the vaccinations, thus people forget about them and see them as a non-threat. They don't think chance X vs chance Y, they think "Autism, I don't want my kid to have that" and don't think about the diseases the vaccinations prevent. You want people to start thinking that vaccinations are mandatory again, you need prominent news story about how horrible these diseases are and how sad it is to watch kids die from them.

Banks make a lot of money, they have access to security. Medical marijuana isn't necessarily very profitable. In some states, it is illegal for them to sell their product and they may only donate it. Many growers do it as hobbyists for little or no profit. It is much easier to rob a marijuana grower than a bank. Furthermore, other businesses are not legally forced to publicly disclose their location. They do so because it is good for business.

If you asked for books on those subject shortly before someone near you was murdered by one of those methods, yes, the police would be interested in that. Remember, the article has "and other incriminating evidence" mentioned. Does searching for poison when someone close to you was poisoned mean you are guilty, no. Does it make you a suspect, definitely.

You have to remember, it isn't his router. Verizon provides the router with fios installations. So you are borrowing their router and usually paying a small rental fee. I imagine the legality is set-up so they can access it.
