Why patch flash? Just uninstall it. Adobe have already proved they can't write stable, secure software even if their business depended on it.

I'm OK with Samsung putting whatever they want on the phone, just as long as you can fully uninstall it.

Really? You are discrediting and taking the piss out of a guy who at significant personal sacrifice, cost to himself and even threat to his life is trying to rigorously document and shine a much-needed light on government corruption?

You should be f*****g ashamed of yourself.

so that means in 2031

Windows will get it.

>> "Unite has calculated that female staff are on average paid 16 per cent less than their male colleagues"

Sincere question: does anyone know if this was carefully done as a like-for-like comparison? (i.e. both doing the same job and having the same level of skill/experience/qualifications?)

Like they actually didn't mean to leak this.

"Leaking" is just the new way that marketing departments generate buzz, especially around nerdbait products.

Would love to know the real reason why they're politely begging rather than simply telling the US to F off.

>> "The study, which polled 8,000 respondents in the field and used data from focus groups and ethnography, found that in many cases girls lose interest in tech and engineering careers at the secondary school and university levels"

So this report is confirming that women aren't doing STEM/CS by THEIR choice, and because they have a free choice to do something they find more interesting.

>> "Rather than attempt to funnel more women into computer science, the study suggests that computer science courses be integrated into other applicable fields..., where women comprise a larger share of the student base."

...so basically "fix" the problem by removing women's choice to avoid studying STEM/CS. Thats a perfect example of fucking retarded PeeCee thinking that is not only directly insulting to women, but fucking oppressing them. So much for free will I guess

.... and please remind me why "only" 20% of CS grads being female is actually a problem in the first place?

... and if such gender imbalance in the workplace is indeed a problem, then why are none of these PeeCee muppets at least equally up-in-arms about only 4% of nurses and just 2.3% of Pre-K/Kindergarten teachers being male?

As the media consistently demonstrate, Its all to easy to blame everything/anything negative on Brexit in a sensationalist way, and totally without any consideration to what any other costs and predictions would have been as a result of staying in the EU.

For example the statement: "Sterling has fallen 15 per cent down against the value of the US dollar since late June."

True but divisively misleading, since the euro has also correspondingly fallen against the dollar in the same period. It clearly has little/nothing to do with Brexit but everything to do with a strengthening US economy leading to an increase in the value of the dollar.

The VERY suspicious thing is that these are all excessively large downloads for what Microsoft claim are just fixing what would almost certainly be a few one-liners in some system DLLs.

In my opinion, this is just another example of natural selection in action.

Since we've already pretty much removed all the risk of accidental death from modern life. mother nature has had to get creative to continue to prevent the most extremely stupid people from succeeding/breeding. I'm pleased to see she can still succeed at least on some level.

The thing that other phone manufacturers understand, that Google apparently never will, is that a product design that works for customers should matter more than one that works for google.

Trying to force everyone to only store their data in the cloud by not even having an SD slot clearly drives Google's agenda of datamining everything about you that they can get their hands on, but only the most clueless retards will believe their marketing that any storage method that has extra requirements of needing to be connected and uses mobile data, and takes much longer everytime you want to access something is somehow magically more convenient than having it stored locally right on your phone.

Also making the battery not removable even though it uses technology that has a finite number of recharges is great for google's bottom line (since it means the new phone owners will HAVE to buy a whole new phone every few years) but only the worst kind of sheeple (e.g. apple users) will ignore that as an obvious problem.

Still the Google bean counters are probably happy because you can't count potential sales that your stupid product design lost you, so they can just continue to incorrectly assume it must be zero.

> have you considered not letting us know you're female?

This is ridiculous. It is at best a workaround rather than a solution. I'm not even sure it is really that, both because I don't think applicants hiding their gender is practically possible, and also I really question from personal experience whether there is actually a problem here, rather than just a PeeCee perception of one.

I can only talk about my 35+ years as a Software Developer working at many different tech companies all over the EU and US. Honestly at all those companies without exception, they were without exception all VERY careful to be gender-neutral in interviewing. In fact if anything, it was most usual that they erred so much on the side of caution that females ususally got an easier ride during interviews and more forgiving evaluation after than an equally skilled guy would. Nothing I have personally seen in the entirety of my career suggests that the actual reason for a gender imbalance (in software engineering at least) is anything other than womens own choices and prejudices. And any result of free choice should always be perfectly fine whatever it is, not perceived as a problem to be fixed, especially just to meet some PeeCee metric. Let me just nip something in the bud before some SJW calls me an insensitive chauvinist a-hole or whatever. I realise that my actual first-hand experience does not coincide with what the "politically correct" brigade would have everyone think is going on everywhere. And I don't care.

..So now its just another haz beenz.

130k isn't nearly enough.

>> let computers off the leash with unsupervised learning

and so it starts... muhahaha

$200k? Where do I sign?

My ISP is one of the largest in the US (Cox).

According to my modem at least, they haven't even enabled IPV6 support on their network yet.

It comes to something when you can't tell if something is meant to be an art piece or is actually just some equipment left lying around by one of the maintenance guys.
