I'd be more concerned if the simulated coworkers were friendlier than your real coworkers.

As a Purdue employee, I can tell you that Mitch having won "nearly everyone over" is not true, Most of the folks who work here think that Mitch is only keeping tuition frozen to maximize his incentive pay and create his own legacy. Students regularly complain about how some services on campus (e.g. mental health counseling) are in a sorry state while Mitch keeps getting paid more and more every year. Most other colleges and universities aren't doing this because it's fiscally unsustainable. We're doing it because Mitch can maximize his own pay, claim victory, and then leave his successor holding the bag.

The IRS Free File program isn't a scam. The scam is that you can only use it if you start the process by following a link from the IRS Free File site or your state's Free File site. This makes you eligible for additional features that you don't get going directly to the vendors' free offerings. I've been using the Indiana Free File program to file my federal and state taxes for free with stock dividends and capital gains.

I bought a Moto G5S Plus directly from Motorola last month and it did not have any bloatware installed. It's possible that they were installing junk and stopped doing it, but my guess is that middlemen are to blame.

Deleting an entry from the auto-complete list in Outlook is very simple. http://office.microsoft.com/en...

Those kind of reports really happen. We had a user contact us because his PC would not turn on. Apparently the fact that there were only emergency lights on in the building and no other PCs on did not give him the hint that the power was out because his first assumption was that it had overheated.

I found the exact opposite to be true. I put forth minimal effort in high school (rarely studied, frequently daydreamed during classes, ignored lots of homework assignments) and graduated with honors. I tried to do the same thing when I started college and I was on academic probation after the first quarter. I learned then that I was actually going to have to put forth a reasonable amount of effort if I wanted to graduate.

That sounds like a great idea! We can call it a Personal Cloud, or PC for short.

Why should the trend change when it's still profitable? It will likely continue as long as there's money to be made by keeping it going. Who cares what happens to the planet in 100 or 1000 years when there are profits to be made now? The people perpetuating the trend won't be around by then, anyway.

There's no way of knowing that for sure, but let's assume it's true for the sake of argument. You're presupposing that a decline in population growth will naturally result in a decrease in demand for natural resources, but that is not necessarily the case. As developing nations continue to develop, there will be an increased demand for natural resources even if the population of those nations remains stable.

straw man

You're right. Given the historical precedent, I'd say mankind will probably find faster, more efficient ways to deplete the planet of its resources in well under a thousand years.

Off the top of my head, the developers of Project Eternity and Wasteland 2 would tend to disagree.

Scratch that. Even though attempting to verify the account gave an error saying that my password was incorrect, apparently it worked but took overnight to finish. I was unable to log in last night (could not find account), but this morning it works normally. This is stupid, but at least it works, I guess.

I was unable to verify my account and I get this when trying to re-register using the same e-mail address: "This e-mail address has already registered an account with Mega."

I had the same issue as OP and tried this. The site did not accept it as a valid e-mail address.
