I wonder which members of the American government will be directly responsible for the poverty and economic collapse that occurs as a result of Apple going bankrupt and the wider implications that has
Maybe they need to T.W.A.T themselves for causing more terror and damage to the freedoms of Americans themselves than downing the world trade center ever did
A government usually always reflects the will of the people - even a totalitarian dictatorship in some cases.
If the people want such things, they will get it, regardless of whether or not they know the consequences for it.
But right now, this is a pretty dividing issue. A lot of people are opposing this. Enough are opposing it to make a dent, even though they're trying to go ahead with it.
I, personally, want America to destroy it's technology companies
because when America with its over abundance of arrogance goes from being a world leader to a third world country almost overnight as a result of legislation and over-reaching of power the rest of the world will pay attention for at least a few decades
in fact, every computing device I own doesn't have spinning disks
I have a tower of 4 external drives that I backup to though and/or use for additional storage that I don't need regular access to (ie: movies, tv shows)
so... I heard Microsoft was releasing SQL Server for Linux
which confuses me
if SQL Server runs fine on Linux then what use exactly is Windows on servers in... like... data centers?
I genuinely believe I am not all that geeky, I obviously have some tastes and knowledge on various things that would perhaps indicate otherwise but when I hear somebody say "I have WiFi, why can't I browse the internet?" I am unable to stop myself from correcting them
@kalina, how's your weekend been then? did you finish the futile task of explaining networks to 'I need a faster WiFi adapter, I want to download faster'-people?
@SmokeDispenser you know how when men get a lazer pen and torment cats with it for hours just because you find it hilarious that another creature could be so simple as to chase after a red dot
actually, yes it is - Finn notwithstanding, if you pick up a lightsaber without training or Force aptitude, you are most likely to eviscerate yourself before the enemy even comes close.
@MarkBuffalo there are even theories that a Jedi / Force user actually needs to actively control the saber with the force, otherwise it would lose control.
@MarkBuffalo actually not sure that part is mentioned - but what IS mentioned is that the only way a lightsaber can be safely constructed is via the Force.
you know... like when you're 40% asleep sitting in the corner of a sofa when somebody says something and you're like... ding... I'm wide awake again, that's possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard... I have to correct them
