They used to allow this (as recently as a few months ago). You could download any windows 7 iso and then would have to activate after install. They even provide a utility for making bootable flash drives from an iso (presumably for installi

It's hard not to be apathetic when your job description has become so stigmatized that it is synonymous with failure ("go get a job at McDonald's"). A math teacher at my old highschool used to hand back McDonald's a

Ya you're probably right. At least downvotes deal with the problem pretty succinctly. After 2 years, this place is still the best online community I visit so I'll stop complaining :)

Anecdotal at best, but I have noticed a slow decline in % of quality posts per comment thread over the last 3 or 4 months. This problem is also much more apparent when the article is about something that is easy to comment on (non-technical

At least one of Horwitz’s students, senior John Shaw, disagreed with the professor. “Just ridiculous. I had never had a problem in the class. I thought I had done pretty well, done pretty well on the first test, and then I get an e-mail sa

His/her point is that the strawman is self inflicted. There is a silent majority that inherits the stigma of the crazed minority. Of course not all vegetarians are like this, but the few who are give a bad name to the rest.

Yes, (most) protein on this planet was created by plants, but not all protein is equal. Most proteins from plants are not complete proteins and cannot sustain a human being. This is not true of animal protein. Yes you can combine various pl

I think the issue is that many CTO's don't take all of these factors into account when they do decide to switch to or add a new language to the companies codebase. It seems many are shortsighted and simply see A > B without eva

Way to sneak in "(although not to others)". That's the whole argument. When you drive drunk you endanger others who did not make the same irresponsible choices you did. If drunk driving only injured drunk drivers, we, as a so

Yes this has now happened one time. It doesn't happen every season. If you allowed early release of episodes to customers who were willing to pay more, you can pretty much guarantee that those will be leaked early every single time.

Those episodes would immediately be leaked to everyone after becoming available and HBO would lose a ton of viewership on its own platform.

This assumes you know the method they are using. As the post mentioned, a few milliseconds + or - at the end of a scene would not be noticeable and the overall timestamp would still be constant if "self-compensating offsets" were

I guess it's a semantic disagreement but I would still call this a bug. If they considered this use-case when they designed the system and then decided it was not worth designing for then I suppose it is not a bug, but I find it hard t

This is a very serious issue and you should not stop pursuing all available support channels until you get an answer. I can guarantee you that such a glaring bug will immediately get high priority in their issue tracking system. The last th

Well I get off work at about 2:45pm which leaves ~5 hours of daylight after work. I go to bed at about 9pm and feel much better than I ever have energy-wise. You can argue that these were not choices I got to make, and maybe I just have sto

Regarding your critique of 1984, try Brave New World if you haven't already. I think it fits your expectations of the dystopian genre much better.
