I'm guessing the old CPU was simply defective, and they needed to replace it to install any os.

I never heard of that, and I doubt it happened. Apple won't touch anything with a GPL license.

I was on a date with an Asian woman years ago, and she decided to order Chicken Fried Rice. I don't remember what I ordered, but it was something less stereotypically "white".

They gave me the fried rice, and a fork. We just laughed, traded dishes, and asked for another pair of chopsticks.

I think it's trying to say that you could feasibly use solar-generated power at night and when it's not sunny now, because it has become financially viable to buffer it in a huge battery.

With the Lingua::Perligata module you can write your perl in Latin instead. My coworker says it's more readable that way if you know Latin.

Service Level Agreement. It's when you have a contract requiring a certain level of service, like minimum 99.999% uptime or (in my example) a maximum 30 second response time on support requests.

This is something you typically get from an enterprise vendor (although 30 seconds is exaggerated) in return for paying them a lot of money. It's not something you can expect for free from volunteers.

One of two things happened:

• They implemented it just now, and it's nice of them to ask Or:
• They've been doing it for years, and now legal told them they need to ask

This is what the kids are referring to:

Pretty sure it's always been upfront with that it still tracks you? I always thought of it as a "don't store history and cookies locally" thing and nothing more. Maybe I read that disclaimer with more cynicism than most?

Different goals. The goal of Apollo was to make a good app. The goal of the official reddit app is to show you ads and siphon money off you.

I guarantee you a good chunk of that R&D money is for making ads more profitable and other monetization.

The secret ingredient to get on the front page of Forbes is fraud.

A lot of services these days support multiple forms of authentication. Did you sign up with a separate password? Did you use Google or Facebook auth? Is this a corporate account where auth is via their SSO? They don't even know whether they should ask for your password until they know who you are.
