You don't consider the GRU/Africa Corps to be neo-colonialism at the least?

What is there to review? There's an entire team with VAR who already decided that dismissal was proportional to the misconduct. That's how it works.

And if you haven't already realized it, FIFA only cares about money, so of course they did this, so the event is more "exciting" for the advertisers. It's pure corruption.

And if we're still both 32 bits dating, instead of getting married into 64 bits, we'll have some problems in January 2038...

Only nerds want idempotent build results, it's so fun debugging slop...

You give them an inch, they'll take a mile. There's no real desire to make stuff efficient when people just accept it.

A different example is that if you said 15 years ago that all of your desktop programs would actually be running each in their own individual web browser, people would look at you like you're crazy. Now it's somehow normal.

Not surprised, he's the kind of guy who blows his paycheck on several automatic boxes of fireworks and lights them all at once. "It's going to be huge!" but you can't see much and it's over after a couple of minutes.

Not directly, but it still does matter to me. I'd rather my CEO buy a new car instead of giving even more money to Microsoft, as weird as that sounds.

The real problem is that it makes it even more appealing for C-suiters to cut costs -- and C-suiters usually choose to reduce licence counts (read: firing people) instead of migrating away from Microsoft.

You're forgetting the 12% exception, but they'd probably need an even larger amount than that.

It feels like EU Directive 2014/109 chickened out in comparison to those pics. Especially all the warning labels regarding children or fertility... a large portion of the imagery is almost comedic, showing that your balls will explode, and that babies will mooch your cigs.

The figures come from Surfshark, one of the best VPNs on the market,

It's just an advertisement piece.

They're not thinking about the hardware in any way.

Yeah, but that's also because Apple doesn't even inform the user that their version of macOS is EOL. So unless you're an active follower of Apple news, most people won't care -- at the least simply because they wouldn't even know. Same thing with Android, etc... whereas Microsoft makes it annoyingly obvious that you're running an unsupported version.

 

Probably one of the "longest" hotels I've been to. BW in Linköping.
