Teams is an afterthought from Microsoft in its continuing lineage of Collaboration Applications. We recently switched to it for a world wide support team and it's a step down. - No direct quoting, only threaded replies in group chats.

I really hate to sound like I'm defending Elsevier, but is it really unreasonable to assume that a large corporation that has built itself on an entire multibillion dollar company would be opposed to being toppled by piracy? I am 100%

I think Doctorow's point is dramatically different here. He's talking about a change in medium and specifically arguing against the claims about the original experience offered by DRM controlled media (e.g., theatres, ebooks, etc)

Yes. You can have persistent channels with up to 100000 members which operate more or less like an individual chat. The program has separate notification settings for group chats, allows pinning of messages, etc. Content is shared the same

I was imagining somethjng like this as well, but unfamiliarity with iOS made me wonder if possible. Personally I think the issue is slightly overstated (or I'm just not popular enough and get fewer notifications) but my use pattern usu

I would assume it's a perceived sense of lack of fairness in the sentencing; to be clear, I share your position on hate crimes. They exist for the same reason that we have both Murder and Manslaughter charges, because our system of law

It's even more systemic than that - vicariously living through streamers opening lootboxes is a favorite for many gamers. Even just some kid who sets up their own Twitch stream can get an uptick in views if they persistently open lootb

I appreciate you're being catty, but the idea is to not have it installed by default where persons who aren't aware of it (majority of Mac users) may be affected by whatever concern they have. Users who want or need FTP are likely

I get what you're saying, but your point is also self-defeating for your argument. I would posit that someone who goes out of their way to install Puffin for its benefits would also be aware enough of the ability to change search provi

No worries, I'm at work anyways. I think we do agree on a lot with regards to advertisers. In this instance, we disagree on the impetus for YouTube to punish Logan Paul, but effectively dislike the situation in general. I think that Yo

Funny error messages in general are pretty annoying to deal with when it's an actual exception as opposed to something relatively simple like an HTTP 404. I admittedly have a bias since I've worked in Tech most of my life and am u

I do get the frustration on this, but the auto-correct is pretty simple to "correct" in cases where it got over-zealous. I noted this elsewhere in the thread, but my last name is one letter off from that of a fabric and it has on

Well, yes, but I think the issue is slightly blown out of proportion. On my 10.10.5 Macbook Air I tested quick and the issue is simply that duloxetine is not part of the dictionary and fluoxetine is. Even as I write this post I have the red

Strictly speaking, yes, but it's a well known and used term to refer to the practice of somehow hiring an employee away from a company. The term is demeaning to employees, but the connotation is pretty well understood. It's not re

This doesn't really refute what the author is saying; the main thrust behind the website and the blog post the site references is that Safari doesn't adopt new features Chrome does, which is basically the exact thing which the aut

My experience with the test providers is that often they partner with another company that handles the technology side of things, which is often hack-ish at best. Universities often have the choice of directing their students to authorized

While this may be it in some instances, it could be a lot of things I think. For the same reason (geeks/nerds/rejects etc) may feel they cannot by definition be oppressive because they too were oppressed before by the popular ones

Can you elaborate on why you feel this is grasping for straws? From my admittedly limited view point, they see the writing on the wall to compete in the future and know that they will become irrelevant if they cannot offer a competing servi

Well, thank you for the response, but I am not very satisfied with the answers. The crux of disagreement is the method of delivery and the importance of the upgrade requiring this sort of injection. You write: > Available alternatives ar
