So interestingly - that case appeared to come down to three things (ref: WikiPedia which of course has its own sources listed): The court & jury found McDonalds 80% at fault and the lady 20% It was only argued (and supported by some evidence from other chains) that the coffee was found to be...

For those interested in the details (and more about how to fix) I found this article a little better than the originals linked: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/01/11/microsoft-explains-the-windows-7-kms-activation-issue/

Bingo. What you're really asking here is, why don't they just issue their own certificates and not use any 3rd party? This would require computers across the globe to trust the US Government Top Level CA and the associates costs would also be pretty high. So for public facing things, it makes...

Can't tell if serious? :p They basically did that for well over a year. If you have a 7 or 8 license you can pretty much still do it. To be fair, that's not 'free' but most people complaining already own a previous version, so no cost upgrade is effectually free. Not a bad deal. I've never...

This is certainly the case and autonomous cars are right now still an early technology. This is exactly why we're seeing the flaws. They are also certainly part of the future if we can manage to improve our infrastructure to support them and succeed in educating the populous about how it works...

I love how everyone is psychoanalyzing this movie on the basis of critic & audience reviews a day after it came out when the majority of people haven't even seen it yet. LOL.

Actually - you should take a look at how VMs are managed in the various clouds because it is rare that you would "lift and shift" your entire VM collection and data and persist it in the same way as you do in local hosting. What I mean specifically is that your VMs are not running 24/7 for the...

Agree here - I think that if the guy knew about the 'abuse' or 'use without consent' and did not say anything or attempt to say anything - that certainly has bearing on the merit of his argument (diminishes the merit). Now, if he was trying to negotiate and can demonstrate this and that he was...

As Nytegard says, these are pretty much standard at any company. The only room there may be for negotiation or difference is if you are an independent contractor, meaning that you are your own company, and this potentially give you rights to retain IP or share it, etc. etc. That being said - if...

I suppose that remains to be seen in other tests. But I think it is exciting to see that in this test, which is the point of the article and may have relevancy for a larger use case than the single test itself - there is a very viable alternative to the Macbook Pro. Very viable. Sure it will be...

When you say was, do you mean that you fixed it? Upgrade drivers from the manufacturer (Asus)? I wouldn't consider this an OS issue as much as just a preparatory step to upgrade. I think there was even a tool which would tell you ahead of time if certain hardware or drivers were compatible or...

I'm sure that nobody in this forum seriously thinks an 'average' or 'general' person is a computer guru and follows good practices with their data. However, as time has progressed in the age of computers I think that 5% may be too low of a figure for having foundational knowledge - including an...

While I guess not totally different than telling a kid to write a letter to Santa Claus, it is, because its actually something real. But its like saying, please give me something for...having done nothing. I won't even use the buzzword. Parents who do this to their kids aren't teaching the right...

Please stop using the number of vulnerabilities as a blanket measure of security. I'm not a security professional but even I know that this is but one angle to review security of a system. Think about the dozens and hundreds of other vectors there are. Instead of making clearly skeptical...

saw it on Thursday (lucky to be near a theater which got it early) and thought it was quite excellent. I would also rank it higher than FA. The first 15-20 min i was like... ok this is some cliche, but then the story took over and they did a good job. I recommend seeing it.
