It's funny you say that, I grew up with that very system for decades before streaming became a thing. We had multiple choices of entertainment to watch on TV for completely free. Yes, that's right! Completely free! The only cost w

I did not recall agreeing to opt-in for the studies and there it is under Privacy & Security as checked. I have the pug experience study active and I don't recall the browser asking about it. From the studies about page linked from

What do you mean by "browser support"? What functionality do you expect to go away that would prevent you from viewing an old HTML file in a modern browser?

I keep plaintext passwords, but I reverse the string to prevent the hackers.

Silly; it's impossible to stop all murders, therefore we shouldn't bother with making it a legal liability. If the criteria is that it must be possible to stop all instances of an action to make it a legal issue, then we should ju

In that article, and the snopes article it links to, it is implied that it is illegal to even take the picture. But then I fail to actually see where it is implicitly stated that it is illegal to take the picture. I can understand the copyr

Just a note: since this discussion was had the lady in question has admitted that a portion of the yearbook entry was indeed forged by her. The portion that a great number of people online claimed looked suspicious that was also looked at b

Roy Moore's camp is also asking the yearbook be handed over to a third-party for analysis but so far the request has been ignored.

I think a clear photograph of the person committing the misdeeds would be useful, but not for everybody it seems.

What police interviews are you speaking of? As far as I know the Moore accusations have only been made to the press with no legal aspect to it at this time.

The problems Microsoft had at the time went way beyond having IE already installed with Windows. Besides, without IE already installed the casual computer user would have a more difficult time downloading a competing browser.

That's an interesting thought to compare such things to traditional brick-and-mortar situations. A store that dominates its market tends to cause competing stores to close. Which creates the problem in that customers get fewer choices

To be fair, there's no way for the website to know you already have Chrome installed. The annoying popup is just bad UX.

I give you a magazine for free with the stipulation that you not cut the ads out; you are correct that I couldn't stop you from doing so with the magazine you currently have but I can certainly refuse to give you another magazine. &#x2

I've read about it and I'm still waiting for the definitive proof that his denials about sexual misconduct are false. Although, I understand the standard of proof required for the court of popular opinion is much lower than an act

Not quite the same thing.

A more correct comparison is a store recording how people shop in their locations to better optimize paths and locations of products. Your comparison is more like an app that watches everything you do on your computer outside the context of

Yes; just get a lockbox to put near your door and clearly label it as for packages. The idea of a mailbox and the laws regarding it tend to be rather specific. For instance, stealing from a mailbox is a federal matter but stealing packages

by talmand 9y ago
The postal service won't deliver mail to your mailbox or just packages to your door? I can see they see a difference but if they deliver mail to your box then I fail to see why they would refuse a package to your door.

Reminds me of the time of websites only using -webkit vendor prefixes in the CSS even though the same properties were available to other browsers. Available either as other vendor prefixes or just the standard property. It got so bad that o

Yet again another example of one good use for MS browsers, installing a different browser.

Well, I'm fairly certain that treating them badly doesn't guarantee that employees will stay. I'd rather try the huge assumption.

I would agree, but I would say Venezuela was considered socialist because everyone I know of that I trust to know such things said it was a good example of socialism in action. Not because of seizing property, but because they said they wer

by talmand 9y ago
Sorry, but any example of a government seizing private property is not a government that respects and protects private property. That is a fiction often pushed by the government to convince the people they have private property rights. If y

by talmand 9y ago
I would think most people say socialism in this case because it was put up by many influential people as a proud of example of socialism back when times were good. It's the same thing when socialists point to failing capitalistic syste

More stringent regulation from the very people that are encouraging it? How does that work exactly?
