Well I, for one, am glad someone is sticking up for Microsoft. On Slashdot, no less. And telling off the little guy. Linux still sucks as a desktop OS and always will.
But you go, defend the megabillion dollar abusive monopolist who held computer systems back for decades and punch down on the little guy. Speak truth to the powerless!
Oh, bullshit. It's there along with all the other buttons.
Hell, even in America it's rare to find a building when originally designed had an elevator with no 13 button. I remember my Dad pointing one out when I was a kid.
In China they execute government officials who do this.
Nobody has been arrested for the California theft and nobody ever will be.
Good guy CPC.
Remember: America innovates,China duplicates and Europe regulates.
OK, explain why the Prsident of France called the US 15% tariffs a "dark day" for Europe.
It makes zero sense. Trump the stupidity president fucked AmeriKKKans over with an additional 15% tax which they will pay, not Europeans. So how's that a "dark day"? I don't get it. Usually when we AMeriKKKans score an own goal(which is often) Europeans respond with a chorus of laughter and mockery. Remember when Trump, during his first term, demanded NATO stop rippping us off by refusing to pay their fair share? Their response was to LAUGH IN HIS FACE! An the laughter was general throughout Europe or the next week or so. "We won't pay and you can't make us" was the attitude. So why aren't they laughing again now? Europe isn't paying these tariffs. Where did the laughter go? I don't get any of this, maybe someone can explain in small words, so all us stupidity Trump voters can understand. Maybe with a puppet show?
Do you realize you just made that up in your own mind?
And then wrote it down?
Or do you not realize that?
This is textbook Trump Derangement Syndrome.
You are arguing with yourself. And losing.
If you think the video footage wont be used for anything other than delivery, think again. That data will be kept for proof of delivery but cloud searchable by every LEO looking for activity in the area suspected of a crime with full facial recognition software, plate readers, and GPS backed by AI to identify potential targets. Amazon already handed your Ring data over, whats to stop it from happening again since there is no more expectation of privacy in the brave new world.

Unless it's a delivery to my residence, I don't want it within my airspace. Keep above the public transportation routes until they reach the destination, whether that's at 50ft or 400ft or even 1000ft don't buzz over personal residences.
You can't even enforce that 1000 ft rule over congested airspace with manned aircraft. What makes you think you can stop it with drones? 1K ft is the FAA minimum for congested areas, and it drops to 500ft in less congested areas.
The best you can hope for is 500ft as the crow flies, and then a controlled vertical drop in front of the target residence.
No. The *correct* way to fix this is to resolve the root cause:
How funding is awarded.
Currently, the paradigm is 'publish or perish', because science funding is only handed out to 'rockstars' by politicians who dont understand the fundamental value of boring replication work.
Politicians? Try college faculty administrations. No publish, no tenure. That goes whether the researcher or the school is getting a government grant or not. This is an academic culture problem, not a political problem.
He was a bomb maker. Not an ethical person.
Enrico Fermi was a great man that accomplished more in his lifetime than you would in 100 lifetimes. Fuck off, troll.
Wtf?
How exactly is the internet connection done? A really long cable?
A series of tubes.
Do you realize that you are having an argument with intrusive voices in your own brain? Or not?
I notice this all the time with TDS sufferers: they invent something and rage against it.
Epstein ran a child rape ring against Americans for Israel. If the truth ewere known, the existence of Isreal would be threatened. Isreal requires an external sponsor to exist. That sponsor is the USA, and if it weren't us, it would be Russia.
Israel has a right to exist!
Don't drive them into the hands of Putin, antisemite.
Besides according to the Left, MAPs are just a sexual orientation like gay. Oppressing them is fascism.
Trump took the EU to the woodshed. They had to drop all of their protectionist tariffs they have against AmeriKKKan goods(I thought protectionism was ad?) and in return America puts a 15% tariff on all of theirs. Moreover they had to write a check to us for hundreds of billions. The tariffs will bring in a shit-ton of money. We can use this to replace the income tax and repeal it entirely.
The usual TDS sufferers are screaming it's a tax on AmeriKKKans but it's not. When's the last time an American bought anything made in Europe? I mean one of us, not the CA/NY American passport holders who write the media articles describing what happened.
Hey, I've got an idea - make things in America and there are no tariffs. It's weird but worth a shot, it could work.
Why is location a factor in pay at all? Is an employee in SF inherently more valuable than an employee in Redmond?
