Which rights were stripped of citizens exactly?

Was this reply meant for me? I agree overall!

The USD hasn't been that weak to the pound in quite some time. Quick currency conversion shows that 400 GBP is about 550 USD. The fact that the price is nearly doubled in USD seems very odd to me. Doubly so as the GPB price should be all in inclusive of VAT.

I have over 100 documented accounts between work, personal, and shared with my family. There is absolutely no way I am going to be able to manage all of those in my head forever.

I can easily recall the passwords for these that I used frequently. But not the ones I don't use normally.

There are a few different factors that all added up, at least from my understanding/point of view:

- AMD tried something new (FX series), that didn't go as well as they had hoped (they tried doing something similar to the P4 arc and thought they could do it better than intel). Which resulted in sub-par processors. So people continued to prefer Intel processors.

- Intel having no real need to continue to advance its processors with no serious threat, continued to do smaller iterations on its line, moving from a tick-tock cycle (big improvements, followed by a yearly refresh for additional small improvements) to more of a tick tick tock cycle (more yearly refreshes with marginal improvements).

- Intel also had issues getting their fabs down to smaller processors, which may have contributed to the change in how their cycles were going.

- Intel has also had more issues lately with speculate execution attacks, which due to their current design in how they implemented OoO-execution, has lead them to disabling some of this functionality. This disabling decreases some of their previous performance advantages. AMD has also been hit with some, but not to the same extent with intel, and usually not to the same level of performance degradation.

Has it though?

Consider stuff like wordpress, and other large programs that need an easy to re-use styling language. When you use something like bootstrap, and others know bootstrap, then you're making it easier for you and your customers down the line to build on something.

You can always write your own thing, and in many cases this will work, but then someone else is going to have to learn all of the quirks of your system before they can get up to speed and start using it at scale.

I'm probably about 2 years out of being bleeding edge, but php-fpm&nginx are far from defacto standard. At least when you look at how the web is being served at large, looking at cPanel/WHM.

I don't believe cPanel/WHM even supports nginx yet as a standard option.

How do you suspect they suggest typing mistakes? :) (ps chrome does this too)

They've increased the cost of the cars to offset the 0% rate.

You should get a bigger cash discount to buy the car outright, instead of financing through them.

Don't forget maintenance! Old cars needed far more maintenance far more often. This 6-7k miles every 6 months thing is just absurd.

Cars got oil changes every 1k miles, not 3k or 7k. Just for starters.

Do you like platinum style beat-em-up/spectacle fighters? If yes, then for what it is, its a great little game.

If you do not like those games, then no. I got it as a gift, but I would have gladly paid 20-30USD for it. Even though I'm not a massive transformers fan.

Other outlets were not having the same issues. I suspect a cable or device issue.
