2016 was the year Intel laid me off. Coincidence?

Disney is just an example though, CBS has their own streaming service, NBC is launching theirs in 2020. ABC is owned by Disney so I imagine their stuff will get rolled into Plus eventually. HBO, probably other premium channels have their own.

And as the GP said, they all are starting to realize that their back catalogs are probably worth more than just spamming them all day on MeTV and such so they don't want to license anything to NF while they figure out what to do with it all.

Mind you, I'm in the US so my perspective may be different than yours...

Any weight-loss article on Slashdot should refer to "The Hacker's Diet," a free online book by John Walker, founder of Autocad software. (After reading this book in 2013, I lost 40 pounds and have kept it off for six years now.) It is weight loss with an engineering/management approach: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdi...

Didn't administrations before Obama act the same way as well? Wasn't this the whole thing is that basically every few years on cue the gov't tries to fight encryption as if it's a bad thing? Wyden has been at the other end of the spectrum for years. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techdirt.com%2Fartic...

When Intel bought our chip design group at Cray, they moved us to another town 16 miles away. I was surprised to discover that commuting became the best part of my day! This is thanks to most of that distance being covered by off-road paved bike trails. If there's a safe way to bike to work, I'd highly recommend it -- great way to start the day! https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leadertelegram.com...

Considering how long zcat and other z* text tools, plus the fact that web servers have been serving gzipped files since the nineties, I'll raise my hand and say, yes, a gzipped text file is a perfectly reasonable text format.

That's what I've done. That or OpenBSD. But I used Debian for decades and I'm glad there is a distro out there catering to the crowd that just wants apt without systemd. Devuan wasn't ready when I decided it was time for me to ditch Debian but I may revisit it next time I have to set up something new.

I believe the correct wording is that it's a mechanism to charge people *of* color

I believe the rationale is that the article in question went beyond protected speech when it targeted Heather Heyer specifically. Espousing one's beliefs is one thing, no matter how repugnant they might be. However what they wrote is probably considered defamation and therefore illegal.

Basing my opinion on what I've read about what prompted the take down, I have not read the article in question.

IANAL

Pasta is about 90% pasta and 10% sauce. I wouldn't even suggest putting them together.

That's like calling pizza a vegetable.

I find it hilarious - here is apple having tried to force a proprietary standard, so everything existing is not compatible (lightning).
Now we have apple finally adopting everyone else's industry standard and everything they had previously is incompatible (USB-C).

Isn't this what happened to Firewire?

Maybe one day they'll catch up to headphone jacks.

Please. It's something they do because they want to charge people more for the same service. It has nothing to do with customers not paying bills. That's what *contracts* are for.

Actually if we're talking a camera, why couldn't people replace it with their own?

Probably not all that complicated.
