Honestly, I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic... Both cases sound reasonable to a degree.

Indeed, when the home video/DVD usage was at its peak around the '90s, movie theaters were assumed to be a dying business by most people. Then consolidation and marketing to a younger generation breathed new life into the industry

There was a super helpful Internet jargon list maintained by one of the 3-letter federal agencies, obtained through an FOIA request I believe... I used to refer to it whenever I needed to decipher confusing twitter conversations.

Seems you were downvoted a bit, but I think your comment is hilarious ;^)

Came here to mention that too ;-) Let me at least paste the wiki link for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Bye,_Lenin !

So basically it's a UI bug, not a serious security vulnerability.

Any estimates on the market valuation? Not mentioned anywhere in this article, and the $20B number floating around sounds quite high to me. For comparison, Vivendi/Universal is at $35B (based on its share price) with 20K+ employees in

But Win10 _does_ have an inherently more secure design[1], so much so that sometimes you have to turn them off in order to install stuff like VMWare. [1] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/threat-protection&#

I’ve colocated servers for a long time and even though it’s counterintuitive, the price of power+kvm+bandwidth+rackspace is rarely less than the price of a managed dedicated server in the same data center.

The specs are exciting, but I wish this came with something similar to GearVR or Daydream to leverage that screen.

The quality of the show still depends the writing. Plus, animated characters can take on every imaginable role (as Homer’s multitude of jobs show).

Yep, great business model: collect free photos from users, sell them to companies to use on their social media for $199-$799.

As a counterpoint, XBOX Live subscription is not too expensive, offers a lot of value through bonuses and freebies, and most large studios are now offering their own subscriptions for users of their games.

I'm not currently a user but https://www.smartsheet.com/ had pretty advanced features that I liked. The UI was a bit old-fashioned but the tool is capable.

I've been an iPhone user since 3GS but I'll dispute that. Top Android phones have been first to market with too many hardware/design/UI innovations that were later copied by Apple. I think familiarity with the O/S &

Why didn't they just use a new socket number for this? Even something like LGA1151B would have made this clear and easier to search product.

Rhapsody had the same model (not sure if they still do), and their catalog is as good or even larger than the rest. I'm still not sure why it's not considered the top competitor to Spotify.

Isn't it possible to offer the "Slow Sync" feature on older models like 6/6s? I would assume this would be software controlled... Maybe another camera app has this already?

I enjoyed Seveneves, but found it to be the one of the most depressing books I've ever read, right up to the final act. Not only because of the dark underlying theme, but also because you get invested in so many characters who then end
