... so long as the girl was above the age of consent and wasn't being coerced or threatened then nothing illegal happened. Sordid maybe, but not illegal.

Android aside the vast majority of Linux installs are backend servers when stuff like how easy it is interact with and debug issues with the init startup and other fundamental subsystems of the OS *DOES* matter. Clearly you have no idea about any of this.

Attached to: Microsoft is Experimenting With a Top Menu Bar for Windows 11
I use a Mac but I still don't like the multi-mode finder bar whereby the menu for the app in focus appears in it. If you want the actual finder bar back you have to click on the desktop first then use it. Not ideal. I can understand why they'd do it in 1984 but there's little reason for it now. Just make main menus appear by default over the main app window like in every other OS.

"Really, try getting a software development job without some skill at integrating an AI assistant into your workflow"
Whats that supposed to mean? Any idiot can type into ChatGPT "write me code to do X". Most idiots wouldn't be able to debug the resulting mess particularly if its a non toy language such as C++.

Attached to: Former Google Engineer Found Guilty of Stealing AI Secrets For Chinese Firms
Anyone with brains would have done all the downloads on the last day and headed straight to the airport never to set foot in the US again. Either he's got a very dim view of Googles security apparatus or he's just an arrogant SoB and thought he was too smart to get caught.

Molds require oxygen , no o2 no growing. So where possible they should store the works in nitrogen or some other inert gas as is done with some foodstuffs.

They're not building those rooms in the basement just to fill them with ping pong tables and a creche.

Always good to have your take on virtually every story these days cut and pasted some cretinous poster who thinks they're being clever.

You do realise they're not directly responsible for the security apparatus, right?

Given how Trump is behaving towards the UK (tarifs) and Canada (tarifs and 51st state comments) right now I suspect that alliance might well be fraying at the edges anyway.

Looking at it the other way - those tunnels make it easy for us to spy on them.

Never said I had a defense. You never taped something off the radio (if you're old enough) or broken the speed limit in your car?

Perhaps he thinks if the human race is going out we should go out in style - completely fuck the planet for millions of years by burning everything that can be sucked out of the ground.
