Will it have the Workplace Shell? Some virtualisation engine for running other OS's under it? (other than the DOS/Windows 3.x bits, which are "thunked" rather than emulated)
These are what I want to know! I would *LOVE* to have workplace shell on Linux, and would run OS/2 again if I was able to run WPS and use other OS's in virtualisation!
People are actually moving from a genuinely reasonable, albeit expensive, platform, to what amounts to a pile of shite on a single sheet of single-ply tissue paper? =O
Pulling the door opener lever on the door of a car overrides the locking mechanisms. This is a fire-safety requirement. The guy was probably just still asleep when the cops found the car.
The first BBS's I logged onto were at 300 baud, and were Commodore 64 based, generally running C-Net. Wonderful stuff.
Later went on to regularly use BBS's running many different packages on many different platforms. The most common was WWIV, but Telegard, WildCAT, Opus, (I think often referred to mistakenly as "FidoNET" which I think is an inter-BBS message transport system, but I could be wrong.), PCBoard (often called PCBoring), Renegade, Synchronet were all widely used. I ran the only PowerBBS system I knew of in the area. It was a native Windows application. (and not a very good one!);)
I ran across this list: http://bbslist.textfiles.com/ Perusing around the area code I lived in back then brings back tons of memories. So many sysops that I knew, including several that are no longer among the living, a few friends, even a few lovers. It's good to see some of their names haven't been forgotten! There's a few there that might be best off forgotten, too!;)
Time to share this article to a few of them!
If the information is available to the cloud provider to do so, then they should.... however... the cloud customer should be encrypting the data in a fashion where the cloud provider has no access, so the cloud provider then just hands over a big lump of encrypted data... then they are not in violation of anything, and are not "interfering with an investigation" etc.., but they also haven't compromised their customer's security... because they aren't capable.
Amassing such a huge fortune based on absolutely shite products but excellent marketing isn't impressive.
If he wants to impress me, he needs to give away about 77.9 billion of that, funding things like the elimination of daesh/isis/isil, al-queda & boko haram, making an excellent education free and safe across the entire surface of the earth, ensuring no-one goes hungry, and getting things like an amendment to the constitution to reverse the Citizens United decision.
When he reduces his wealth so that he here merely has enough for he and his family to live comfortably on for the next 7 generations, MAYBE I'll stop considering him a worthless piece of shit.
As far as I'm concerned, Blackberry was already dead when there were only two mobile platforms, it and Palm OS. It was mediocre tech back in 2000, and never improved much.
The story ended perfectly. A sequel won't add anything useful, and will just be there to make money. It'll suck, but everyone will go because Blade Runner is so awesome. It'll be well and truly sad!:(
I think the closest thing you'll get to "out of the box" for what you're looking for is Apache Cloudstack running on Citrix XenServer for a hypervisor.
With basic networking, you can keep things pretty simple. With advanced networking, you can allow your users to build virtual data centres.
It can be 100% free open-source software as well, although if you get Citrix CloudPlatform, you get a couple of extra features, and support, but you pay for the support.
You could be something similar with other products, but CloudStack actually has a pretty amazing amount of stuff that is just there already, and doesn't need configuring.
That's about 1% of the unemployed people here in Ireland in one fell swoop. This is a big win for the Irish economy!:)
Many of those people will need training, and the knock-on effects will be massive!
It's also jobs for folks who are outside of Dublin. That plant is out in Leixlip.
You could use CEPH to do the distribution, then RADOS to create an RBD (Rados Block Device) and when you mount the RBD as asn iSCSI device, you could then build a cryptfs device on top of it, so the provider of the RBD couldn't read/write the data without the keys stored on your server (or wherever you keep them.)
The difficulty is getting something like this that is product-ized, so that a provider can give enough economy-of-scale to make it really worthwhile.
listen to his concerns, and explain why they aren't valid, or take them on-board if they are. He's trying to make his mark on the team, and assert his position, and may want to be the "alpha" of the group.
It might not hurt to remind him he's a junior memeber of the team, but doing so without belittling him could be difficult.
You could also just tell him you inherited a lousy code base from previous developers or something like that.
This is seriously the newspaper industry shooting itself in the foot. Nobody reads the dead-trees editions, and they don't want people who think an article is interesting to let other people know they think it's interesting.
They're simply going to drive themselves out of business.
Censorship is *ALWAYS* wrong under *ALL* circumstances.
There are *NO* reasons that justify it under any circumstance.
Every human being should have access to the sum total of human knowledge.
The level at which Homo Sapiens are affected by natural selection has steadily declined, since at least the advent of medicine, probably since the advent of the type of intelligence we posses, possibly even since the earliest vestiges of the ability to have empathy for another.
Every generation has more humans who live and procreate, who would have previously perished as children or very young adults. The affect that Natural Selection has on the human race diminishes constantly.
Other animals that are affected by this would be any domesticated animal. Dogs, cats, cattle. sheep etc.. If it is a domesticated animal, we have more effect on their evoution than natural selection does. We decide which domestical animals are "worth" allowing to breed, and keep others from breeding. We decide which ones should be "put down" We decide whether our pets are spayed or castrated.
We also have more effect on the natural selection of plants we domesticate. There are probably house plants that would have gone extinct if we didn't like them. Banana trees are this point cannot reproduce without human cultivation.
The effect we, as a species, have on everything around us seriously alters the function of natural selection. Natural Selection may never have zero effect on human evolution, since new diseases will keep cropping up, and those with immunity will survive to procreate, and those without immunity will die (but only until such time as science comes up with a cure or a vaccine.)
If they're using idiotic twatter, re-twat their twats, followed by a quick explanation of why their twat is so wrong.
If they're using other social media, do something similar.
Those, along with making the fact that support is NOT free extremely evident. include language in the license agreement that outlines that support is not free, and make sure they have to agree to same before they use the free product.
Alternately, take some features out of the free product, and require that they be licensed. (or don't add some new ones.) I don't personally like this option.. but "ya gotz ta get paid!" You could also charge a small fee for downloading, so that it's no longer called "free" product. Again, not particularly likeable, but it'll shut the people who think "It's a free product so support should be free" up. (although the "We paid for this so support should be free" camp would start whinging.)
Someone suggestion of suing for libel above might work if you have deep enough pockets, and the twatter who's dis'ing you doesn't.
Whatever your company decides on, good luck!

Can we say, "DUH!!!!! That's the point!" ???
I'm sure the 7 people who use Microsoft Edge probably care. To the rest of the universe, this is non-news. :)

Yeah, you're probably right, but hearing this asshole's name in the news is alwasy annoying.

A society that gives up freedoms in the name of security will have neither.

If they weren't using Windows on those million servers, they could do the job with about 600,000 servers instead.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. The man is evil.
I have a feeling people who live close to the 10 states where it doesn't apply might very well end up shopping across the border starting tomorrow.

This whole situation is incredibly bad news for Boeing, and incredibly good news for Airbus.
