Or, what if, hear me out now, what if colleges stopped the campus beautification arms race, and quit spending hundreds of millions of dollars on new buildings, and then passed the cost savings on to students?

I think Salk's polio vaccine was easily worth many times this amount. Of course, he refused to patent it, so that it could get out to do the greatest good as quickly as possible.

Microsoft, on the other hand, DO have infinite money, and they continue to demonstrate why rewriting large, business critical software isn't just a bad idea, it's great for shareholders.

In 1995, a kid in my dorm showed me this new OS called Be. Running on a PowerMac 603 with a single cpu and 16mb of ram, he showed me how Be could play 6 video files simultaneously. Mapped to 6 faces of a cube. And you could spin the cube around via the mouse while all 6 videos were playing. Never any input lag, or dropped frames. It was a thing of beauty.

I for one can't wait to ruin Microsoft by settling for a coupon for $10 off Windows 11.

Why don't they build the ENTIRE PLANE out of USB drives?

Microsoft have been wantonly abusing their customers with these non-consentual updates to Windows 10. This should not stand. There needs to be strong legal action against this sort of thing. Let's start by calling it what it is: #WindowsUpdateRape.

I didn't consent to the upgrade, I repeatedly said no, Microsoft repeatedly re-pushed the same upgrader and nagware to my machine. The best way to describe this behavior is "update rape".

OK but they're not daddies.

I think browser developers could all have gone a little bit further and not enabled their proprietary CSS prefixes in production releases by default. Maybe push those into a "developers only" mode, or an extension, but keep it out of production.

The prefixed CSS rules were supposed to be for not-yet finalized pre-standards versions of stuff the W3C hadn't yet finalized, to give web developers a chance to play with them, test them, and provide feedback so that when W3C finalized their recommendation, they were well tested in the real world and good.

By making them available to everyone early, it incentivized web developers who wanted their websites to look "cutting edge" to make use of the unofficial properties before they were ready. Also, the slowness with which W3C has historically acted to finalize their recommendations exacerbates this incentive. If a web developer waits for the W3C to finalize and only uses W3C recommendations, they're left hoplelessly behind the state of the art.

From that point, it was only a matter of time before a dominant browser emerged with its proprietary prefixes became de facto standards adopted by web developers before W3C was ready to finalize their own version of them. What else could they do?

So, blame W3C for not being faster, but mainly blame browser developers for tacitly allowing and encouraging developers to make use of the experimental CSS properties ahead of itme for production sites.

Maybe people who are planning to commit acts of terror are very likely to study engineering, so that they'll have the sort of knowledge that will be useful in destroying things that engineers design and build?

Still better than a few alternatives I could name, such as:

1) redefine good.
2) redefine good to mean good for google.

Whether or not the system was secure is but one concern. Whether the system was transparent and accountable to the authority she worked for as Secretary of State on behalf of the American People is at least an equal, if not greater concern.

This will result in increased competition. What's the downside exactly?

What I want to know is, what laptop has 3-6 disk slots??? The most I've ever seen in a laptop is 2.

Randomness has a well known liberal bias. This is just another example of how our liberal higher educational systems have become corrupted, and why higher education is not just unnecessary, but actually harmful to voters..
