Well, you certainly could, but that wasn't the argument presented or responded to. The argument you put forth was Technology's advancement was due to IT businesses, and what would the world be like if there were more Unions; but t

>Imagine if unions were strong and IT were unionized. How would you imagine the progress we've seen in information technology? I'm not sure this is really a compelling point. Tech companies have made some cool stuff, but techno

Blizzard? Diablo 2 got a patch just this year. I get what you're saying, it's nice that they're doing this, but it's not really so much a goodness of the heart thing as it is that there is a super critical bug to many ve

I think the person you're replying to is more just poking at potential holes in the parent's post or pointing out common mistakes. I find the incredulousness that the parent would miss on a tiny detail rather odd, since it happens

I'm not really disagreeing with you. I do believe strongly in tenant rights because I've seen what bad landlords can do, and I've have close friends (now basically family) suffer because of the spiral of of homelessness. What

> The fact that they expect the occupants to just leave when asked as if they have somewhere to go is bizarre. Who are these people? Well, I mean, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to ask people to leave the property you

I would agree with this, and also that the 'damage' caused by "Everyone gets a trophy" is overstated immensely. My experience having coached children's basketball was that the consolation and participation prizes di

Well, that's the minimum boundary recommended, and they cite what the Swiss Government guarantees in the shelters. I would assume you'd try to get more, but then your size requirements for such a shelter rapidly grow. I think it w

I can tell you since I work support for a backup product. Lot of people think that naming a folder on a local drive "Disaster Recovery" counts as having an offsite Disaster Recovery copy of backups. The number of large corporation

Most likely something like this. There is probably backup software running but it's either nothing but failed jobs or misconfigured so the backups aren't working correctly.

The SSDs address part of the problem. As noted by another post here, many rooms are build and structured with the assumption that nothing ever moves, so rather reasonably, you lay cable in a manner that has little flexibility, you mount thi

I definitely appreciate your sentiment and agree, that I don't want to be fighting for a room when I'm on vacation - but with regards to the language barrier, where there's a will, there's a sale. In all my experience ab

Heh, so the planet is having a quarter life crisis? I'm not making fun of this it just sounds funny, and I'm sure the always connected nature does have a large impact. Before, "keeping up with the Joneses" meant a fairly

Apparently it was. Just because it didn't monetize well doesn't mean it wasn't doing what it meant to well. Investors were surely disappointed but the userbase got exactly what it wanted and the app served its purpose very we

I'm not sure this is entirely fair. YikYak's undoing was doing away with the features that brought people to it; it was a very popular application, and continued to be right up until the de-anonymizing aspects were brought into pl

At the same time, it's a real "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, isn't it? It is well documented that vulnerabilities are traded and sold freely online at various forums; since this isn't really

Yes and no. Officially, Linux isn't supported, so Logitech could have just sent a link to the Supported Systems page and been done with it. Instead, they sent documentation and got the Dev in touch with Logitech's internal dev tea

I don't think it was ever meant to be a comprehensive solution; it was meant as a start to address the rampant issue of tracking. There wasn't a mechanism short of outright blocking for a user to declare intent. The argument has a

Thank you for your take on it. I won't try to argue it since I feel it unfair to make you defend a conclusion you yourself don't actually know.

I'm sorry but I don't even know what you're referring to, else I'd respond more completely. I can't really see the relationship between what you quoted and what you wrote.

I understand what you're trying to compare it to, but I don't think that this is always a valid argument. If what attracts the core customers is wrong in and of itself, it's not an excuse to continue it. I have fond memories

I agree, but I also think it's an incomplete answer to the situation. I think that it's unreasonable to expect there not to be some sort of acting technology strike force within the US government, on the sole basis that they would

A lot of this is a social issue too - it's IT professionals over-committing with SLAs and being too passive when it comes to discussing terms to set realistic RPOs for fragile systems when the resources aren't available for proper

Uber losing out doesn't mean a complete reversion to "the way things was". Look at Austin - Uber left, and new players entered the arena. The rest of the world has already adjusted to Uber's business model by basically j

Aside from a small outspoken few, I don't think that anyone is really arguing that advertising doesn't work. That's never been the contention, and the goal isn't to be completely rid of advertisements. The argument has b

In this particular and narrow instance, it does seem like Blizzard is making good on going back and updating and maintaining the old code. You can argue the reasons, I suppose, but this seems in line with exactly what copyright is supposed
