"- We have historical (and current) discrimination to overcome."
I absolutely refuse to pay for the sins of our fathers. This will only perpetuate an eternal victimhood. If you see wrong, fix it, but 'diversity' for its own sake is just racism.
All of those benefits came at the cost of the loss of the First-sale doctrine. It was a bad deal, period. Always connected was not the major issue, the major issue MS was attempting to kill this legal doctrine as it applied to them.
>because we know how to talk to people and you do not.
Says the ANONYMOUS COWARD. Your comment is the epitome of the the mentality we despise, 'All of the power, none of the responsibility'. You are not part of the 'we' that actually did anything.
Google Earth VR in all classrooms. Few things have ever made me feel the true sense of awe that is our world until i could fly across it like Superman.
Amen - posted from my brand new Ubuntu box. I loved waking up this morning knowing my machine would start right away, with nothing in my way. Im stuck with windows for my VR development gear, at least for now, but those machines no longer hold personal information of any kind. I basically turned them into 'arcade installs'. If MS hadnt lost their mind and forgot what an OS is, i might be willing to pony up for Enterprise and LTSB, but all im really trying to buy is trust, and that is long gone.
We are at the point now where things simply refuse to run if you dont update it. Every time there is an update for Geforce Experience, Nvidia purposefully breaks my recording functionality to force me to update their software. No choices, either update or the program refuses to run...Thats where we are now, get used to it.
“By the way, Disney’s live action Beauty and The Beast opens today. In this version of the story, Belle is the inventor instead of Maurice. That rings truer if you ask me. For some more movie fun, ask me something about Belle.”
If this is 'Assistant' speaking, why is it giving OPINIONS on gender? If you read this as marketing copy, its easier to stomach, marketdroids are used to feeding you an opinion. However, if you take it as YOUR Assistant, the message is MUCH creepier. Its like hiring a secretary and them constantly saying 'brought to you by Carls Jr.'
Either Assistant is a servant, or a salesperson, it cannot be both.
"Holocaust Denial is literally a lie, and there are no compelling reasons to accept it."
Bullshit. This is a philosophical problem of communicating information between sentient beings. I am under no obligation to accept your truth no matter how well reasoned and 'truthy' it appears to you. I have no DIRECT personal proof the Holocaust happened, I have only heard from others. There is an absolute, distinct non-zero possibility it was all made up. You cant FORCE people to accept your truth just because you you accept it.
I want to make it clear i am making a philosophical point, not arguing if the Holocaust happened. I accept the common narrative, but i wouldnt stake my life on it.
Intel PURPOSEFULLY keeps AMD around. Intel could crush AMD at any moment they choose. They are not partners, they are not rivals, they are not peers. AMD exists SOLELY to stave off monopoly concerns and was established as a second source of x86 to satisfy of DoD 'two sources' criteria. Intel spends more on R&D alone per year than AMDs entire market cap.
Its not millennials, its apathetic users. People are MORONS and refused to acknowledge we are neck deep into an INFORMATION AGE. So few actually know what a bit or byte is, they dont know what an Operating System is supposed to be. Its all apathy and ignorance driving tech design today, has nothing to do with generations. Grandma who refused to learn basic comp sci is just as much to blame as millenials.
They do this same strategy with pricing across the board. The first book of a trilogy will be $2.99, the second book will be $5.99 and the third $7.99. IM talking about low grade fantasy from the 80s still commanding these insane prices. The example i am using is the Apprentice Adept series by Piers Anthony. A story that i thought was going to cost me $9 to read ballooned up to over double that...for books that are almost 40 years old and cost nothing to send me a copy.
The difference here is that the employer owns the machine and sets the schedule, not MS. I have no problem with companies implementing changes like this on their own hardware...I have a problem with MS deciding when and how my machine updates.

You mean like Selective Service?
Internet connectivity is just as vital as electricity and water in a first world country,

It would show a consistency in my positions....
Because their air-gap was shit.
The difference is i have over a decade of posting on this board. Feel free to peruse my history.
I think you mean the web. The Internet without the web is still supremely useful.

"I had to do this on a computer running security camera software (very inconvenient if it reboots in the middle of a night due to an update)"
Why do you have critical infrastructure running on a desktop????

Just know that you make it harder for all of us by doing that.

Virtual Reality will take over that space with motion tracked guns. I play Duck Hunt in VR all the time.
No this is what is 'forcing' automated cars on us. Humans are shitty drivers. http://www.businessinsider.com...
