The difference there being that Chromium is FOSS. IE was not.
To me the difference between Mozilla and Google today is their approach to privacy and user's data. Rendering is a "solved problem". If Mozilla are using Electron just for rendering, while still building a user experience that follows their core standards on privacy and data, I don't see a problem here.
In crude Windows-speak, Docker is equivalent to just one instance of C:\Windows (the kernel) running on your host computer. On top of that you run multiple lightweight containers each having their own C:\Program Files and C:\Users. So container A and container B run simultaneously, share the same kernel, but can't see each other's apps & data.Right now you would have dozens of Windows services running as 'system' in both your host and your VM. This avoids having two lots of all that stuff.
To answer your question - Linux has always had its kernel separate from the user-space hence container evolution naturally started there. But it appears Windows may be working to catch up.
the Nexus line fails by not including such an essential feature.
With respect, that's just your opinion. I started out in the beginning with the HTC Magic on which I never used the microSD slot, and have since had a Nexus S, Nexus 4 and now a Nexus 5X - never once missing the lack of a microSD slot. I keep all my data in the cloud which is the Google way. I think Google have made the right choices in their design.
A decade or so ago the company I worked at had to repeatedly advise customers to use FTDI or Silicon Labs based USB-serial converters with our products. It got to the point that it was the first question on the tech support script. The cheaper converters based on Prolific chipsets were incredibly unreliable but customers kept buying them because on ebay one converter appears much the same as another.
Not to wholly defend the touchscreen design approach - you make a lot of very good points. But you do also make the assumption that touch is the primary input. In many of the new systems voice control is designed to be the primary input, PARTICULARLY when the car is in motion. Now whether they've been successful with that yet is another story, but I would argue we are going to see a little more evolution in this relatively new type of control mechanism.
Linux already has far more games than PS4 (460) and XBone (290) combined. There's 1450 titles on Steam alone, plus exclusives on other stores and then there's a mountain of open-source games, more than a few of which are commercial quality. I've been gaming on Linux for years but its really taking off at the moment. So you could always check it out now:)
I was animating sprites on an Amstrad CPC664 to re-enact the Macbeth scene "is this a dagger I see before me?". Got extra credit for it too. Kids don't need stinking expensive schools to do this stuff.
When Apple wanted to double down on their iPhone platform they kissed Google off and built their own Maps and Advertising solutions. Regardless of whether they were good solutions or not, it's clear the aim was to create a complete ecosystem.
Microsoft followed a similar tack for several years, investing heavily in their own Maps and Advertising systems. Now that Microsoft are selling them (or part thereof), this indicates that Microsoft is no longer interested in a complete ecosystem. Therefore this raises questions about their plan for Windows Phone.
I've been with my employer for 12 years and have a lot of specialised knowledge. In that time I've diligently shuttled information from various sources including e-mail into a wiki. Anyone in the company can access and edit it but I'm by far the biggest contributor. Time and time again I'm able to send people a link to answer their FAQs, heck I even use it to discover my own (forgotten) memories. Thanks to the wiki I anticipate a straightforward handover should the need arise.
I remember this too. The Google-Twitter collaboration was discontinued in 2011 - it was never explicitly stated why but the general impression was that Twitter wanted users to come to their site & apps to search for content. Now that they're buddying up to Google again it makes me wonder if they're seeing a drop off in user engagement.
Android 2.3 rolled out in Jan 2011, it reached 10% six months later in July 2012.
Android 4.0 rolled out in Jan 2012, it reached 10% six months later in July 2012.
Android 4.1 rolled out in Aug 2012, it reached 10% six months later in Feb 2013.
Android 4.4 rolled out in Dec 2013, it reached 10% six months later in June 2014.
Android 5.0 rolled out in Jan 2015, it reached 10% FOUR months later in May 2015.
And Lucian Armasu of Toms Hardware thinks there's a problem here? This is business as usual. In fact Google have already improved things in recent years by moving more and more features into their Google Play Services app which can be updated from the Market just like any other app. There's very little actual difference in functionality these days between a Kitkat and a Lollipop phone.
My Australian ISP (Internode, now iiNet) was one of the leading promoters of IPv6 and was one of the first to offer such connections, years ago. Many customers used IPv6 with no issues for several years. Then Netflix came to Australia. Netflix, in addition to some Australian digital TV channels and a few local mirrors is excluded from the ISP's broadband quotas. But it turns out, quota exclusion only works for IPv4. So people set their account back to a IPv4 connection.
Because of this, valuable momentum in IPv6 adoption has been lost.
Just riffing here but what about the idea of a "noobgit" client that checks out a given repository and every 5 minutes in the background it does a git pull, performs a permissive merge with some additional smarts (e.g. for Word docx it just keeps both versions of the conflict section and inserts a Word comment at that point), and then commits the new file? For all intents and purposes it would just function like a multi-user Dropbox.
This could even use the same git server as the engineering team (though obviously not the same repositories).
My global F500 employer upgraded 100,000 employees to Win 7 last year. It took them 3 years to plan that rollout.
They ain't doing it again anytime soon.
The Browse Basin is within Australia's 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone. The cynic in me wonders if Australia signed away a nominal lease on the region while assuming there would be income from the port facilities & import/export taxes. Now instead of pumping the stuff onto shore Shell can load directly onto ocean-going ships. I for one hope the Australian contracts are water-tight (pun intended).
The market has dictated that this is in fact the level of price and service that the majority of people do want. There is a product that meets your needs however - the luxury taxi or private chauffeur service.

I can't wait to see Guns N Roses streamed live 360. Axl has aged really well.
Did you mean: AC/DC

Is this just for the *nix folks?

At time of this posting the botnet is still trying to punch through the same Gentoo install that it was doing yesterday.
You must have been visiting the detox university. 0.25 BAC is enough to ward off death adders but won't save you from the redbacks or the drop bears.

The launch is only days away. Coincidence?
As long as I can burn files with this extension.

All this means is that the Feds can now go to a judge and say "normal investigative methods have failed, we need a wiretap on Cory Doctorow's phone".

Eliminate homophones and heteronyms. Strip back the synonyms. Make antonyms consistent. Remove homophenes that cause confusion for lipreaders.
Re-establish phonetic spelling. Nation and national, ration and rational should NOT have a different sound for their first syllable.
In short, undertake behaviour like Edward Scissorhands on this pile of faeces.

And even with the luxury of choosing his own strawman, he still only manages to conclude that it's a tie between the two approaches.
