WinRT is a stripped down version of Windows that does not include the desktop or related functionality. Windows on the desktop is a superset of WinRT and includes "the interface formerly known as Metro".
If you seed from 5 sources, and only one is truly random, you still have a good seed. This is why the linux folks try to use as many sources to seed urandom as possible; they posted on this recently regarding the intel CPU hardware RNG.
then people should be well within their rights to show up with a wheelbarrow, right?
And the restaurant will gently (or not so gently) remind you that it is a private establishment with every right to tell you to take your patronage elsewhere, that you are abusive and they dont want you there.
Availability is a loaded word in this case. Go buy condoms as a 14 years
Clearly thats something I should subsidize.
in an area where religious people want to burn people who use contraceptive on a stake....good luck (of course IMO they shouldn't need it at that age but the reality is different). You may also be in an area where your doctor will try to convince you not to get contraception. They'll prescribe it if you INSIST....
No hyperbole detected here. And contraception requires a prescription?
Heres a wild question: even getting out of the whole "why should I pay for behavior that I dont approve of" issue, why should anyone be on the hook for someone elses recreational behavior if they cant afford it?
I mean what if instead of sleeping around at 14, my vice is taking vacations in the bahamas. Should taxpayers be on the hook for that? Why is personal responsibility demanded in one area and not the other?
It most definately IS worth curating your inbox. One of the toughest issues ive seen WRT backups and email performance is absurdly large PST files. Guess what: that PST file is marked as "modified" every time you open outlook, and most online backup systems will mark it as needing to be re-backed up each time leading to some absurd bandwidth usage. Theres also all of the issues with potential for a single file to get corrupted, difficulty in repairing it (ever tried to scanpst a 25GB pst?), performance indexing it, etc... all because people cant be bothered to keep their mailbox under control. And of course when you finally decide to move to provider like Outlook.com / exchange / gmail, you discover they have a 25GB limit.
Source: Been there way too many times with clients. Hoarding is never the answer, and is often the problem.
They probably dont have strict limits, its more of a "we know an abusive customer when we see it." Having a strict policy probably isnt necessary till they see the outliers consuming disproportionate resources, and then have to deal with abusive jackasses. 20TB is so far above the clear intention that its silly anyone would even have to point that out.
All-you-can-eat does not mean "unlimited food". Im fairly certain this was tested in court and the ruling was "quit being a jackass, you know what they meant."
To your points, it seems to me that one could argue that its only bloat if youre using QT and GTK and Aura, which many users will not. On the other hand, if someone made One Library to Rule Them All and it hit all of the requirements for all of the projects, that too would be bloat that everyone had to deal with.
And I kind of get the impression that Google is happy to donate to some things where they like the direction, but theyre not about to change their course to cater to or help out another project. If GTK isnt going to do what they need, Google is going to create their own (see also Webkit/blink).
My comment about "not listening" was based on the terrible feedback every GTK3 project seems to have gotten by anyone who cares, and the relative lack of action from the GTK folks. As I say though Im not really following the politics that closely.
This problem isnt unique; most people have trouble curating their data. That doesnt change the fact that the problem is mostly self-created, and the best solution isnt to find another place to stuff the 20TB. Its to take the time to cull it down to a reasonable size and then back it up.
And this, folks, is why an "everyone gets their fair share" system like communism can never work. 1.8TB for a homeuser seems like theyre trying to take advantage of pricing that they know isnt sustainable.
Theres no storage system in existence that will store 2TB of data for $5, let alone maintain it.
LTO5 tape drives will run "just" $1500 or so, and the tapes are $25/each.
When you hit this quantity of data theres not much thats really competitive. OP may want to get an autoloader, which ARE a bit pricey at $3k/each, but once youve spent the initial money the actual storage is cheap; you could populate it with ~25TB of storage for under $200.
Or he could spend some time determining how much of that data is truly relevant, and whether he isnt creating more problems than he needs to avoid sorting through it (as is almost always the case).
Ive used Crashplan for years at clients, friends, and personally, and its generally been good. They have 2 options that may work here.
The first is their all-you-can eat backup service, but they may well balk when you tell them its 20TB-- they might shove you to a $120/year business plan.
The other is buying a pack of Crashplan ProE licenses, which let you host your own cloud backup service. You can use any PC as the "server" (just make sure its reliable and on 24/7) and it handles diffs like a champ. It also verifies backups to avoid bit rot.
Why it really matters whether Google uses QT or GTK or their own stack. I mean for a GDE or distro like Ubuntu, I can see that "make another one" matters because it impacts all sorts of other projects. For Chrome, though, it doesnt really affect anyone else that I can see, and its really just Gnome folks being upset that Google didnt want to use their stack. At the end of the day, isnt it just more work for Google? If theyre happy to do it, who cares?
And-- though Im not privy to all of the politics-- Ive gotten the impression that the GTK3 folks werent terribly interested in hearing other people's thoughts.
Id be interested to know some specifics about federally funded welfare that the US Government provided during the articles of confederation and beyond. Care to elaborate?
They were instituted a full 150 years after the country was founded. Trying to label them as one of the fundamental reasons for our government is a bit of a stretch.

Thats not correct. Windows RT is an actual product name for an OS.

"Fixing a PRNG" if your primary business is not crypto seems like an incredibly bad idea.

Just because there are nefarious things going on doesnt mean that people have stopped making mistakes, or that the two are somehow mutually exclusive.
Yes, you should still want proof that this is malicious or subversive.
Theyre going to Kentucky because the shipper sent it there. Louisville is a major shipping hub.
Im pretty sure Newegg does not determine the route your package takes.
then people should be well within their rights to show up with a wheelbarrow, right?

Thats some bizarre doublethink. Regulations are too onerous; conclusion: its the fault of the guys favoring deregulation.
The solution isnt to offload teenage poor decision making onto society as another burden; its to discourage the risky / bad decisions.
Have you ever heard the term enabling?

Only catch with these local backups - it seems to be that when CP goes offline (bankrupt), even the local backups won't work anymore
Im fairly certain that is correct, but they offer an enterprise version without that issue.
A 2 way mirror is not a backup. Treat it like one and youll learn some pretty valuable lessons eventually.

Its like an all you can eat buffet. Show up with a wheelbarrow and both the other customers and the restaurant owner are gonna get pissed off at you.
Theres such a thing as "common sense". Being super pedantic and hyper-technical in real life is a pretty good way to alienate everyone you meet.

Double-post, but why is this in the news now? All of the linked design docs are from Dec 2011. This stuff is 2 years old.
