I'm openly critical against the whole NATO thing and DSA but you're just being silly, ignorant, a troll or all of the above.

I'd rather be a part of the Western military industrial complex than being Ukraine since 2014.

If Russia just could stop aspiring to be the premier asshole of the northern hemisphere, Sweden would still be "neutral" and democratic neighbors of Russia wouldn't be forced to put huge amounts of tax money into arms instead of healthcare.

Russia essentially attacked the guy sitting next to them on the bus because they felt the guy was sitting too close.

Of course everyone on the bus gets scared of the idiot attacking people!

Ok my god. I had an Samsung Omnia 7 and I loved the Metro UI.

Remote Desktop to a Windows 2008 Server and try to open the Start Menu by clicking a single pixel in the left lower corner... Shoot me.

Going public introduces shareholders that prioritizes return on investment as opposed to making technology and knowledge about technology accessible for many.

It doesn't always end this way but often enough to worry about it...

Just curious... What are your expectations for sanctions that have been in effect for a year or so?

You have an impression about what they don't talk about on TV based on that you don't watch TV?

They are extremely toothless in the sense of making continuation of the war less interesting.

If it was "toothless", Putin and his propaganda machinery wouldn't bother commenting on it so often.

In many cases it's doing business and not just the payment!/compansation that the sanctions is about.

Apple could have tried to work with them and said something like "We'll pay when the embargo ends"

.....aaaaand that would most likely be trying to circumvent the sanctions by essentially receiving credit from Kaspersky on delivered services.

Not saying the situation is optional, but the sanctions would be extremely toothless if it was that easy to circumvent.

So Microsoft is essentially doing what Google and Apple have been doing for years and we think Microsoft are anti consumer because of this?

I'm pretty sure they essentially are "one time use" only.

Extremely simplified:

They run for 20-30 years without refueling, which means the reactors/system could be built more compact, a higher level of safety and require less maintenance / monitoring / fine-tuning.

All those parameters are connected in an equation which means if you want higher safety you have to make another parameter "worse". By making the system "one time use" you set the "refuelability" and "repairability" parameters to the lowest and can therefore up the other parameters.

Also, military requirements are very different from civilian.
