Win2K on a 64MB system would be running really lean. From what I remember, my pared-down boot config was something like 52MB while still having a fully functional system. That doesn't leave much room for running applications.
Is archery or skeet-shooting a sport then? Both rely primarily on concentration and reflexes. I'm not saying all games deserve to be called esports, but there is certainly a level of skill to games and reaction times involved that degrade over time. Similar to a sports career.
I think there are too many untrustworthy parents for varying reasons, to trust giving them a lump-sum cash payment and expect them to responsibly spend that on their childrens' education...
I can't speak to other countries, but the US atm is in the middle of a large wave of helicopter parenting: "The world is a scary place, so children must be scheduled and supervised 24/7. Failure makes them feel bad, so they need to be taught that everyone is special." The end result of this over the last decade+ is we have a generation that can't handle the everyday failures that are a part of life for everyone. They aren't taught the life skills to survive as an independent person nor the problem-solving and critical thinking skills needed to work out issues.
Now that is obviously an overly simplified assessment, but it generally holds true: Kids today aren't allowed enough unscheduled free time in the US, and are showing rising psychological issues with coping with stress, etc.
Want to almost eliminate gridlock? Start enforcing lane discipline in the US. It's all the idiots driving slow in the left lane and then the inevitable lane jockeys trying to shave a few tenths of a second off their commute that cause all of that.
I think one of the most promising parts of self-driving vehicles in the next decade or two are when they are certified to not need someone behind the wheel. It's a frequent occurrence around here to read about rural crashes/deaths/arrests due to DUIs due in part because there are no other options to get home than by car. I could see rural communities pooling tax revenue for a "drunk rideshare" to make sure people get home without being tempted to drive drunk.
Stupid people aren't going to make sure the pictures they look at have a proper paper trail, just like they don't fact-check things now. And groups seeking to spread fake-news either aren't going to use a traceable image format, or they will merely screenshot and resave the image before using it themselves to break the chain.
It's not that they can't it's that they don't want to. If they can't force you to charge it 1-2x a day, you can't become fed up with it fading before you get home for the day and go out and buy a new one.
The real irony is most people buy that and put it into a thick case so its not as light and droppable. Or add one of those grip knobs I see a lot of people using these days.
The smartphone market has been running on bullshit for years now and nearly all their "innovations" are things that actively go against what are the best interests of the consumer. They talk about the look and feel every year, but everyone slaps them into the same cases and now also puts one of those grip knobs on the back too. So much for that look and feel.
I bet the only real reason they keep making them thinner is so they have an excuse to keep the battery small. That way it wears out faster and pushes people into feeling they have to upgrade sooner as most won't bother taking it somewhere to get the battery replaced.
I find it humorous and sad at the same time to think they probably have a whole team of people responsible for the UI changes over the years and this is what they thought was best. Who looks at the stuff and says "Yeah, the UX is very streamlined and intuitive now, let's go with this."
Cut out Skype for Business and how many are left? What defines an active user? Everyone I know used to be on Skype, now if they're even online it just sits dormant for everyone I know 99% of the time. Yeah, it's running in the tray, but are they active on it? No.
A large chunk of the general people 25 and under are on Snapchat/Whatsapp, and basically all of the gamer crowd uses Discord. Microsoft has done literally nothing good with Skype since buying it. It's almost like still being on ICQ. The only thing they have done is ruin the UI and insert a bunch of ads into it.
You see, it was this little thing called ARPAnet funded by the Department of Defense and later the National Science Foundation. Commercial traffic wasn't allowed on it until sometime in 1990. Laws had nothing to do with it. I remember even into the mid 90s.com/net was $200/yr for registration and.org was $100 and you had to prove you were weren't using them for commercial purposes still. (only org)
Because when you get the medallion you agree to provide service 24/7 in all areas at reasonable fixed prices. With Uber/Lyft you might not get anyone to want to pick you up from where you are, or surge pricing will make it cost way more.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say the kid has a mental illness that needs treatment. How else do you explain someone being "out of data" and deciding to pester not one, but two houses late at night for their wifi password? And when shoved out of the house, just casually rides off with one of their bikes as well. Something doesn't add up, that is way too bizarre.
I'm sure they already know this, but the algorithm isn't designed to trip up GOP politicians. It says a lot more about how they choose to phrase their message and talk about issues, than any agenda seeking to silence them on Twitter.
When what you post is designed to be inflammatory and lower discourse and a system designed to combat that properly flags it, maybe its working as intended and you should look inwards? No matter where you stand, there are good and bad ways to engage in discourse. On all topics, with all points of view.
There is this thing called closing the lid and this handy thing called a power cord which allows you to place it inside the freezer and close the door. It should fit in most home refrigerator freezers.
For discussion-sake, let's flip that around: EU companies are already free to fork Android all they want, they just have to abide by Google's rules if they want to use Google's apps. Why don't they do that? Because having Google's apps provides more value to their customers than providing their own marketplace, maps, etc. They basically want the benefit of a free OS provided to them while eating their cake too.
Microsoft still does rule the PC platform. They're also trying to pull an Apple/Google by forcing patches, tying their search bar to cortana instead of being a basic explorer search, trying to push people onto the Windows store, etc.
The problem is those cores aren't very useful outside of the datacenter. Home/Gaming computing is still mostly about 1-2 threads and single core IPC has only gone up meager amounts since 2012.
I agree. I have a very unfavorable view of Trump, but if it takes a Wildcard to deal with a Wildcard, so be it. If Trump can get it done with North Korea so their people can stop suffering, I would gladly welcome it.
To me it reads that they both got subsidies, its just SpaceX spent theirs more wisely. Nothing was stopping Ariane from designing a more efficient rocket before now. They only started doing it after SpaceX started eating their lunch. That is their fault.

Damnit, Moonmoon!
American Exceptionalism goes as far back as their namesake!
