Not strictly true. CVS, a US retailer, announced they would be donating $10 million to a charity and would be supporting the charity via customer round-up prompts as well.
In reality, they were including the customer donations in the $10 million, so anything customers donated saved them money.
Notch worked at King before, so MC is directly related to one of the companies on the list.
Microsoft now installs games in an unprotected directory because people were so annoyed they couldn't use the mods made for other storefronts.
Probably just that they have a business license. It's somebody the gov't can find to verify if needed since the company has to keep employee records.
It won't go to SCOTUS because the AG would have to defend it for it to go anywhere.
Here's the Onion article covering the news: https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
It is well worth reading for fans of corporate speak and worshippers at the feet of infinite growth.
No, because an attacker could still make their own network filesystem that does whatever they want. MS needs to update critical auth methods to not assume that the filesystem will play ball.
TL;DR: Things are written to assume that files opened exclusively cannot change. Windows enforces that write protection on files in the filesystem driver. If you open a file over a network from a non-Windows filesystem, that assumption may not be valid.
This allows an attacker to abuse paging to have the system validate a correctly-signed file, then swap out the contents.
Plenty of 60-year-olds play games. They were in their 20's and 30's as gaming matured. The N64 and PS1 target audience was people who are now in their 50's and 60's.
It's an interesting thing to consider. If someone lies all the time, is it inconsistent to distrust the positive things they say but take the bad at face value?
Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren't likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.
It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.
Gotta love the McD hate in this case.
The problem item is onions from a major processor. Burger King had a SKU recalled too, along with most of the processed onions from both Sysco and US Foods, which supply most restaurants. It goes way beyond McD.
Washington Mutual didn't get bailed out. The feds forced Chase to buy their accounts, making it less dramatic than Leeman.
Excel functions are translated. This leads to being pretty much locked out of any support beyond documentation if your system language isn't English.
If you haven't, check out Combined Arms. It is an OpenRA mod that brings in a lot of units and design from RA2, Generals, and C&C3.
It's only connected when you are pressing the spots, and they were painful to use so that they wouldn't get pressed accidentally.
Yeah... That reads as them being ordered to guard the convoys, not bomb them at a whim.
The note reads:

I BELIEVE THAT THE FALSE COLUMNS ARE A MISTAKE OF THE ARCHITECT AND THAT WE WOULD LIVE TO REGRET OUR ACCEPTING THIS DETAIL OF HIS DESIGN.
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE DONORS OF THIS BUILDING IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED THAT YOUR GENERATION HAS DECIDED TO DISPENSE WITH THE UNNECESSARY COLUMNS.
Isn't that just a normal North America plug? Most lawn equipment was set up to use standard extension cords so that cables didn't have to be unique.
The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.
