Go on to 4chan and tell me whether all of those folks on/b/ are sociopaths, or whether it is remotely possible that growing up in this always anonymous age tends to break down that brain filter that would tell you what lines not to cross.
When everyone knows there is a problem and is wondering why youre not doing anything about a problem, you get minimal credit for finally saying "yea, there might be a problem."
Will give them some kudos for having the guts to suggest maps.google.com.
This speaks of a company that is lacking in confidence and perhaps has jumped the shark and are unable to compete in the post-PC era.
This company that has jumped the shark is the largest designer and producer of micro-gadgets in the world, has 100,000 employees (roughly as many as Google and Apple COMBINED), and made a cool $12bn last year.
You might want to simmer down and a bit and reconsider the idea that Intel is somehow struggling, especially when they are absolutely dominating the desktop, server, and laptop markets, and their chips are rapidly approaching the low-power territory.
Care to give some big examples? Im currently at a loss as to why I would stick Win8 on my work laptop, which I use for testing, coding, documentation, virtualization.
If there are useful workflow / productivity improvements, Id love to know about em; so far all I got was "you need to relearn how you relate to your desktop" which isnt terribly appealing.
Even with translucency off, the glassy grey of Vista/7 is kind of nice. Honestly, Im debating whether I like it better than translucent.
The new color scheme looks odd; maybe its because Im used to aero, but I dont get the urge to constantly change things up, if most people are happy with aero.
You HAVE to have the book based theory planning if you want to ever do more than guess. Ive seen a TON of troubleshooting that took way longer than it had to because the engineer simply didnt understand basic things like ARPs and how packets traverse switches. And Ive made my share of boneheaded decisions because I didnt adequately understand the theory.
You can look at the network from an abstract high-level view (treating switches as dumb junction boxes and routers as magical subnet connectors), but you will end up missing things that could have a critical impact on your network.
This isnt some field where things work different in practice than in the lab; enterprise-grade equipment behaves in the real world EXACTLY like it does in the lab, and the better you understand that behavior that behavior the better you can plan a deployment. People who learned exclusively "in the field" tend to not understand WHY things work they way they do, and consequently have a limited ability to troubleshoot them when they break.
Yes, it is less intense than a 4 year CS or Math degree, where you learn things like mathematical theory, and get exposed to much more advanced problems.
Planning a network out can get pretty darn complicated, precisely because there isnt a single answer that will make all the numbers add up. Theres also a zillion unknowns, and generally incomplete requirements. Its all down to judgement, critical thinking, and how much of the theory you know.
Not a math major, so I cant speak to the issues they have to deal with, but I have a feeling its a different sort of "difficult".
FWIW, Ive heard noise that Avast 2012 is faster and more accurate. Just downloaded it on my laptop, not sure if I notice any difference over MSSE / Forefront.
Compromising design and SD cards are a relic from a time when you wouldn't just stream your media.
What if you don't want to eat up your bandwidth if you have a data cap? What if you don't have a signal? Loading from SD is just faster than streaming. Being able to expand local storage and stream as well is a clear win.
You are both unbelievable. Neither of you can think of a use case for an SD card that has nothing to do with signal or speed?
How about "you have a camera and want to upload your photos from the ski slope"?
With a scratch-prone lens, as opposed to our high scratch-resistant sapphire lens.
Oh good grief, are you for serious? I have a craptastic Blandroid with a plastic lens cover, which I've had for a year and abused the heck out of, and its not scratched.
What the heck are you doing that needs a saphire lens cover, and how does that help you when your picture quality is poorer to begin with?
Part of growing up and getting past fanboyism is being able to say, "yes, that is a failing that the iphone has" rather than blindly trying to defend something with "Yea, but the crappier lens is harder to scratch!"
But a fast dual core processor is going to give you better performance hands down in a phone while also giving you better power performance.
Someone tell that to Intel. They seem to be under the impression that if 2 cores are idle, you can shut them off, decrease the TDP, and ramp up the remaining cores.
But who are they to talk, they only design the things.
Theres no way AFAIK to do swipes or many of the commands with the keyboard. There are a LOT of things that simply require taps and jabs. And I havent found the keyboard shortcuts to be terribly good.
I fail to see any significant difference between IOS and Android from an IT perspective. Both support activesync, both support encryption, both support SSL, and both can be centrally managed to a degree (doesnt IOS have security profiles that can be deployed?)
Theyre also inferior to BES, but if BES goes kaput I dont see why Android becomes the only option.
Android simply isnt designed for hardware keyboard use the way Blackberries were. RIM could try to do something with android, and it would still be a touch device first. It would also lose all of the benefits of BES that make RIM different and desirable.
Im really not clear why anyone would get a RIMdroid.
Don't forget that Android devices are ridiculously easy to lock down and set up with full encryption....
is currently the only real choice for corporate america.
Correct me if I am wrong, but you need to get a third party product to manage that centrally (would be interested to hear how youre doing it if not). Blackberries are STILL a good choice for corp america, if you really care about security.
You really cant compare Android's email security to BES's; Android can be tricked into disclosing email with ANY legit-signed SSL cert with the proper FQDN-- even if it was issued by the DOD or one of China's authorities. You CANNOT fool BES devices in the same way-- you must either crack the AES encryption on a per-device basis, or grab all the per-device keys from the server.
I get the whole "Oh noes BES is dying" thing, but they still have superior management, and they still have superior security. Perhaps thats not what is in vogue, and failing to adapt will kill BES, but lets not go overboard by comparing Android security to Blackberry.
Apparently they dont like a 30 minute server setup process, followed by no-hassle user adds (user needs to enter their email and the activation password) and device wipes.
Yes, Im sure something smart pushed them to WP7, but darned if I can figure out what it is. Oh wait, Im gonna go with "someone higher up doesnt care about email as much as he cares about 'slick' and 'can watch netflix'".
Slashdot Mirror

My understanding from the apology was that there WAS a 5 second delay, and the guy in charge of The Button didnt press it in the 5 second time.
Fallacies? On slashdot? Im astonished I tell you.

Windows 7. Windows Server 2003.

Yes, because historically Linux support for wifi, Blackberries, 3g/4g modems, and webcams has been absolutely fantastic, right?
Someone hasnt worked with linux for very long.

On the list of things worth spending time on, a 100-level course's easy-factor is pretty low.

Because the problem of starvation isnt one that can be solved by just dumping food near to those who need it?
Im pretty sure we've tried that and continue to try it (north korea, anyone?) and it just doesnt work.
I was wondering if anyone was going to bring that minor point up.
