I'm not sure I understand Microsoft's Ukrainian centric tactic, but we'll see if it pays off.

Software has moved on. Is there anything that Winamp is good at that VLC can't do better already? Winamp isn't just old, it is completely irrelevant. There are newer better products. Work done on Winamp would not improve it over other products; at best, it would help them catch-up, slowly, while they continue to improve.

Just let it die, and focus energy on existing, better products.

So... that's just a complete load of crap. The national geography of the Middle East is a result of European imperialism. In that sense the British are partially responsible for the *national boundaries*. However Saudi influence predates the English by decades and decades. In fact, the Saudi tribes' ascendance predates English interference by well over 100 years. The Saudi's allied themselves with the Wahhabis to gain political supremacy over competing tribes. That started in the 1700s, while British intervention of the nature you're talking about happened in the 1900s.

The crazy thing is, you actually acknowledge the Wahhabi influence, but don't seem to understand the timeline. The pact between the Saudis and the Wahhabis took place in 1744.

Quit making up crap.

So its City of Ember for adults? Pass.

You don't need to. He admitted it.

Dear Sega,

Please use the proceeds to make a new Sega console.

Thanks.

I bought a Nexus specifically because it was vanilla Android. It long ago stopped receiving updates, but overall has been a great experience, with the OS working exactly how it should,, having a dearth of bloatware, and integrating with Google's cloud. But while Android are terrible with support, Apple intentionally cripples their phones after a while, but at least you're secure for longer.

Unfortunately, the phone (and OS) I loved most was a Windows phone. It had great support and a brilliant interface.

I think people just have to get used to the two companies that run the market engage in a planned obsolescence program.

Perhaps the news story should focus more on the battery than the plane then. It seems to me that the plane designs aren't revolutionary, but new battery tech is the enabler.

I can do it as well. I just imagine the room being brought or dark and they change instantly. Took a bit of practice to get the hang of it.

The problem is that the cracker didn't present that finding in isolation. Rather, the result was substantiated by a) the other result being so far away from being a random result and it using the same method, and b) the name matching an existing suspect.

As much as I like Reddit, I always come back to Slashdot as, time and again, Reddit mods and admins prove themselves entirely feckless.

Sales man sells things by talking them up. More news at 11.

It's a good Trump impression, but this topic is only peripherally related to Trump. I think you would have done better to imitate Lindell for the joke to land properly.

Unless this is part of that "infrastructure bill" (spoiler: it isn't) then Biden is almost definitely not driving this. Give credit to his administration by all means, but lets not pretend this is Biden's doing.
