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.

Its a movie... For anyone who has played this game (by which I mean, any and/or all of them, but particularly the first few) and liked it, the fact that the game has been made into a movie should be exciting on its own. It is its own unique story; turning any of the existing game IP into a movie...

That's entertaining because if you had read the article, you'd know its actually being sponsored by a republican....

Ars - Link Here has a good explaination on how those who are running Windows 10 Home and may fall into this scenario can generate a new key that only they have (at which point even if the backup on OneDrive is not eliminated, it is rendered useless and as such is technically 'removed'). If I...

At best what you see on tv is a fantastical situation. read - someone's fantasy - not necessarily yours. Absolutely agree that the educational value is generally nil or actually negative. You're reading too much into Hurin's statement. Just because tv/movie sex is the highest on the concern...

Totally agree on all points except the radio one. Not sure what stations you listen to but they've played several BB songs over the years *constantly*. Obviously the guy was trolling on twitter as you'd pretty much have to live under a rock to think they're actually a one-hit wonder. Btw, saw...

This is a great comment (and now just because of Fight Club!). I think we are pretty well tech saturated, and just think about that from a generic device perspective (phones, desktop computers, tablets, laptops, watches, gaming consoles, entertainment centers, audio electronics, lights, cameras...

I've seen this happen in Sanctuary and one of the other 'towns' also. He was standing next to a generator when this happened, so perhaps that's expected. What I would call a bug is that the AI did not move him from inhaling those toxic fumes (but since 1. it doesn't actually cause damage or ill...

Let's hope they add some more keybinding choices, especially for the keys that appear to be hardcoded (workshop, arrow keys, switch between 1st & 3rd person, etc.). I haven't come across too many bugs either, but one that is starting to become very annoying is switching weapons. Both in 1st...

I think we can all agree that the bugs are a problem. The conversations may be a bit one sided or aren't fully obvious to your goal, but that's like most Bethesda games, so only someone completely new to FO may be confused by this. And it can be overlooked. I disagree on the point the author...

Just tossing my hat into this discussion - 7970 running with MSAA edge-detect, vsync, and no problems. To be fair I am not monitoring fps but it is smooth and very playable. I do see the 'box of artifacts' in the bottom right, but its not always there and i pretty much zoned it out when it is -...

People want what makes them happy sure. Were you happy with your old televisions? You want it back with the turn dial for channels because pressing a remote is too different and frustrating? Don't need more than 13 channels? Can't output surround sound but you're OK with that? What's that you...

I don't disagree that in practice a deployment of these portals is generally useless - but I think that the portal's main enemy is entrenchment of business process and workers' reluctance to use something different than they are used to. Just follow this thought for a moment - let's say you...

Sometime I'm shocked at how un-tech savvy some people in a tech forum are :p Then again, I may simply be mistaking sarcasm :D So, as much as I hate Facebook and really thing this new application stinks - there is actually a niche for it. There are in fact several players in this space, I...

Fixed a mistake - in bold.

Yes, you definitely can see a difference between a smooth 60 and 120 - However, you can also see a difference between a smooth 60 and a smooth 75. For me personally, 60Hz was to slow for a refresh and would tire my eyes and hurt after even an hour. But 75 - well that was perfectly fine and...

This. I read over the service offering. If they expect people to pay that price, then they better not have commercials, and provide some better content than just their own. Without commercials, this service should be priced at $3 or $4 maximum. They really just don't bring anything to the table...

CNN....self-explanatory

This is an interesting article with the movie and financial statistics. I've only been to see a couple movies this summer. My personal reasons for not going to the movies so much as in the past are: 1) General availability of entertainment at home. Streaming movies, TV series, Cable, Gaming...

A) Smart phones did not exist as they do today when these systems were developed and built 15 years ago. B) Even 15 years ago developing your own OS was costly. Unless you were a major corporation (read: already having substantial money for seed) your 'solution' for ATM was at first an...

Someone already answered this: Confrontation on an airplane is simply impractical.

I hardly think you have any idea how airlines work. They are owned by private corporations yes, but they are closer to a public service because the government owns the airspace and the rights to operate in it. The airlines are allowed to operate within, as long as they observe the rules and...

Here is my take on Xbox Live - If you do it right its less than $5 a month. For that $5 you are getting access to applications that were developed specifically for that platform - which allows you to enjoy them from the comfort of your living room, or den, or wherever is most comfortable. Sure...

Actually, its not all that far fetched. One of the ACA provisions is that companies CAN drop customers from their healthcare if their existing plan changes (Read: the provider changes the plan, not the customer selects a new one). The OP could have had a plan that is not compliant with the ACA...

Except that it wasn't 1 private company that used all of this budget. It is several companies of which CGI used about 1/3rd (~210M), not 600. Yes there is blame, but not quite of the magnitude you describe. And Google, Oracle, and Red Hat are not holier than thou companies that can just...
