Is there also a control panel again with settings in their own windows, or are some of settings now in that full screen "PC settings" crap?
It doesn't have the individual folder/file like icons if that's what you mean. But it definitely isn't like the insane whack-a-mole setup that Windows 8 uses. If you can administer a Windows 7 system, you'll be able to work in W10 easily.
Working in W8X was a nightmare, and there are a lot of websites telling us how to do basic operations to prove that. It was so illogically presented that I had to go to the web to find out how to do a lot of that basic stuff.
I'm a long time Window basher, and I find the telemetry they are trying to ram down out throats unforgiveable. I mean, despite some folks trying to weasel the definition or claim that Microsoft won't use it, there is a keylogger in the OS. Plus a few other intrusive goodies, like allowing people you don't know to access your wireless via social networks. All turned on by default via their express settings.
But as for usability and maintenance, it's not bad at all.
Hell, as long as everything is majick we could just grab a passing asteroid and mine it for metals to make the spacecraft.
And if we ignore the costs of getting to the asteroid, and the mining and refining - it's free!
Last night, I watched a National Geographic program on building the Skywalk over the Grand Canyon - the glass bottomed horsehoe shaped walkway that extends some 70 feet over the edge of a 4000 foot cliff. Pretty well done program and explanation of a lot of the engineering involved.
I would suggest that these folks glossing over their assumptions that are at least as difficult as the presumed Mars trip, watch that show, then come back and breezily dismiss the costs of constructing and operating a moon base and fuel processing plant. The comparisons between a lunar base and a cool walkway supported on only one side aren't direct, but just to show the interesting engineering challenges and expenses in a realistic way - as in if it's this much work to do a simple walkway, imagine developing said moonbase. Glossing over that shows a fundamental flaw in the writers ability to assess much of anything.
And don't get me wrong, folks - I'm in favor of both a moonbase and going to Mars. I just don't connect them together, unless we don't plan on getting to Mars for around a hundred or more years from now.
I find the high earth orbit assembly area, followed by a space tram that the martian landing and housing modules hitch a ride on, then return on the same. The tram would be more heavily built in order to better shield the occupants from radiation.
Build the tram in that High orbit, nudge it into it's Earth to Mars orbit, probably taking materials for a martian base on a shakedown cruise, and end up with a re-useable travelling space station. No need for moon water, very possibly made of unobtanium, or not in sufficient quantity to do anything with.
You're confused, there is no easy access to full auto weapons here.
What we learn from this is that there is rational basis for U.S. gun owners to want high capacity magazines, concealed weapon carry, semiauto rifles with features for convenient combat use. So when the shit comes here, we have the tools for dealing with the shitting scum.
You want to be a victim or have a chance?
Since the second amendment specifically states militia, it appears that gun owners should be able to own everything the regular services do, correct? You are the militia, You gonna do well with your assault rifle against a tank or staring down a Warthog dropping cluster bombs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?....
The only cases of windows 10 update in our customers is the accidental updates in smaller customers. In most such cases the thing has failed somehow(that is something vital does not work) so we have had quite a lot of work from the reverts and in some cases reinstalls of computers to windows 7 after the revert did not work.
What were the specific problems? The worst thing I have seen is Windows 10 thinking that some sound drivers that are not compatible, are compatible.
A quick trip to the soundcard's website support and a driver install made it all better.
The group developed a model to determine the best route to Mars, assuming the availability of resources and fuel-generating infrastructure on the moon.
Well isn't that handy? So as long as we assume that the cost of setting up and staffing and running a moon base is zero, and the cost of building the generation facilities and producing the fuel is zero, generating the fuel cost is zero, It's financially much better to make fuel there.
No doubt the time involved in setting up a completely peripheral side project is also assumed to be zero. Why not, it makes just as much sense as assuming everything else id free?
MIT should be ashamed that such drivel came from anyone related to that institution.
Québec wants to maintain its own identity and not become just another place on the globe that's just like every place else. I don't see anything particularly wrong with that. It's different than the melting pot style policies that the province is surrounded by, but it doesn't "defy all reason". You could argue whether or not that's a noble goal, but the reasoning seems pretty clear to me.
I remember when touring through Canada, where the identity seeking Quebecois mandated that bilingual was the law. Okay, I guess that is alright. Seems a little clumsy. Certrainly if I was living in a country where a language was spoken, I'd learn what was spoken rather than demand everyone placate me. But, whatever
Touring through Ottawa was pretty nice. Loved the architecture. Liked the very casual atmosphere, considering it was the capital of a country. Enjoyed the cathouse outside of Parliament. The bilingual signs were everyhere, just like they were everywhere through Ontario.
Well - Hull looked like an interesting place, so we hopped in the car, and crossed the river. Suddenly, no English. That's odd. Why would everything in Ottawa have to be Bilingual, but once we got into Quebec, no English? I speak a little French, so I could get along there. But apparently there's a double standard somewhere.
In the end, we just figured that Quebecois just didn't want English speakers in their province at all, merci beaucoup. So we and our money just avoid the place.
I am task-oriented, and want to get it done well. I really can't function on any other basis.
If there's things that come up occasionally that require me to work extra hours, I understand that and will do so. If the job normally requires extra hours, I'm not interested.
Moreover, if the development job typically requires in excess of 45 hours a week, the employer is not getting its money's worth.
Odd. My employers had no issues with my productivity. I didn't specifically get paid for working OT, but I made much much more than the other employees in my department. Most had your outlook
After that point, employees tend to burn out and are overall less productive.
Especially if you feel very put upon. For the most part, I felt rather appreciated. I also rode through the occasional downturn while some folks got themselves a lot more free time.
Regardless, just my outlook and attitude, seemed to work very, very well for me.
By the way, given that I retired at 55 on my own terms, and that typically people retire at around 67, that's roughly 24 thousand hours - assuming 2 weeks of vacation per year - I won't work - that many will.
It's partially a zero-sum game. If everyone worked as many "lot of hours" as you, then chances are you wouldn't have been able to retire at 55.
His eyes wide open!
Everything is relative. And I'm not even telling people this is how they should act. Merely a little bit about effort, attitude, and rewards. There is enough laziness and fear that someone may take advantage in most people, that I'm not even worried about sharing this knowledge. Most think my approach to work and career is stupid. Good for them. I'm certain that they reap the rewards of their smarter outlook. I dunno, most of the posters here seem pretty miserable, or brag how they only work 40 hours a week as if it were the core of their job.
To your accurate point of the concept of the effect being destroyed if everyone did it - a restaurant analogy
I am a big tipper, as in a really big tipper. And I almost never get bad service. The same with my wife. In the places we frequent, our drinks are often ready when we enter the dining area. We're not overly demanding, we're pleasant, we respect the staff, and we tip big.
Now if everyone did that, it would destroy the effect. In the meantime, I'm taking advantage of it.
But just like my approach to career and my work habits, I know that will never happen. Most people simply cannot comprehend it.
Yes I know all about Microsoft's use of their telemetry tools and it's not at all what you've purported it to be. Most people hear "keylogger" and think "zomg Microsoft is recording everything I type!!!111" when that's in fact not true. When you read all resources and not just some vague article on the internet on some silly tabloid site that says "Microsoft is using a keylogger to record all of your typing" you realize that it's not that at all and that people have blown it out of proportion.
Umm, I didn't read a thing from some vague article on the net, or some silly tabloid site. I read it directly form Microsoft sites. I even provided them for you, . Which you completely ignored.
To be precise, I didn't write what you said I wrote.
Well...
[...]allowing people who you allow access to your network to share your password with everyone on their social network , and a couple other things I had to turn off on all of them.
I fixed that for you. Sorry DavidIQ, you seem to have an issue truncating sentences to make people appear to say things they didn't say, and deliberately take things out of context. and refuse to take actual citations directly from Microsoft.
Hint. When quoteing, use the persons whole sentence. If not truncate for length only, and provide the three dots that indicate truncation. And never ever try to change the meaning in order to serv some other purpose. That sentence was plenty short enough to use as is, and your quoteing only part of it was a textbook example of deliberate misquoting. Bad form indeed!
What really caps it off though, is you then quote it back to me, the entire sentence, with only part of the sentence in bold. Jeezus man, that's just sad.
And after all that, your reply to my citations is boils down to Microsoft won't do that.
Whats more, after you - in a previous message - tell me And I quote form that message:
A keylogger???? Shares your password with everyone???? BAHAHAHAHA!
And now suddenly you "Know all about" them - to wit:
Yes I know all about Microsoft's use of their telemetry tools and it's not at all what you've purported it to be.
You're a liar! And a very poor one at that. You lie to people in that face of them being able to document and refute your lies. Good day DavidIQ, I do not deal with liars.
People who have time constraints they place upon their employer should be working non-exempt and punching in and out on a time clock.
There is a difference between being flexible and willing to put in extra hours as truly necessary and just being taken advantage of.
Sure. Problem I see is way too many slashdotters think that putting anything other than a bare minimum is being tasken advantage of.
I worked a lot of hours, had a lot of fun, went to a lot of interesting places, met a lot of interesting people, went to a lot of meetings - the least fun part - but still worthwhile as a learning instrument, and was paid pretty well. Then got to retire 10 years early at 55 on my own terms. If that's being taken advantage of, sign me up.
I worked for a Director once who didn't understand the first thing about software, and it worked well. He knew what he didn't know, and trusted us to know that instead of him.
Well now, that's a different kettle o'fish. If a person knows what they don't know - that's a basis for a constructive work relationship. I had a similar relationship with my director(s), and the folks directly below him and the department heads.
It's when you get an MBA who is clueless, but doesn't think they are - that the problems develop.
Why don't you put a few more question marks on that? You are really going to hate what comes next, chachalaca.
From the Microsoft website at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/e...When you interact with your Windows device by speaking, writing (handwriting), or typing, Microsoft collects speech, inking, and typing informationóincluding information about your Calendar and People (also known as contacts)óthat helps personalize your experience. This information improves your deviceís ability to correctly recognize your input, such as your pronunciation and handwriting. You can turn the Speech, inking, and typing setting (which is called Getting to know you) on or off in Settings.
Unless you are going to resort to some sort of semantic mincing tap-dance "typing information", is indeed recording what you type on the keyboard, and sending it to Microsoft. Keylogging.
Shares your password with everyone???? BAHAHAHAHA!
To be precise, I didn't write what you said I wrote. But to my actual point, Windows 10 has a feature called Wi-Fi sense. And here is another reference from bing.com:
Wi-Fi Sense in Windows 10 connects you to more Wi-Fi networks. You'll get connected to open Wi-Fi hotspots that Wi-Fi Sense knows about. And if you share access to a Wi-Fi network with your Outlook.com contacts, Skype contacts, or Facebook friends, you'll get connected to Wi-Fi networks they've shared using Wi-Fi Sense. You and your friends get Internet access without telling each other your passwords.
Do you read that? Do you comprehend? Here, I'll just put the expressly relevent part of the statement:
You and your friends get Internet access without telling each other your passwords.
Why, that sounds like exactly what I wrote, Microsoft is sharing your wifi password unless you don't allow it. If you do allow it, and your so called friends allow it, it's out there, and since you won't have any control over it, you could have a real six degrees of Kevin Bacon wifi router. Your friends and their contacts might not specifically know your password, but then Microsoft does. I mean if you have a password login, it has to be looked up from somewhere. Then again if they are keylogging you, they do have it anyhow. Oh pardon me - "typing information"
If you're going to bash on Microsoft at least try to sound more intelligent and believable.
If you are going to contradict what I write, at least be prepared for the cites I'll give. This is not bulllshit, this is settings that I have had to deal with in several W10 setups.
If you do an express setup, and most peolpe will, you'll have all the telemetry goodies, the key logging, and share your password. This is information that is freely available on Microsoft websites, this is without a doubt, and with provable and admitted actions that Windows 10 performs. Its a spying system that you have to opt out of, if you don't do the work to opt out, it is what you get.
GP said that you need to find out what your working hours are up front, not to make sure it's an 8-hour day.
Might not be a sound strategy if a person demands to know exactly how many hours they will be working. You somehow figure that when they demand that as a condition of working, they aren't demanding a 40 hour week?
Someone asks me that in an interview, it's over, thank you very much.
I make it clear in my interviews that I do understand the concept of limited crunch time, and will work longer hours temporarily as actually needed. If they offer me the job after that, I figure they've agreed to reasonable normal working hours. I may have lost some offers because of that, but I really didn't want to work there anyway.
Yup, and I wouldn't want you working with me either, so it's a match made in heaven. I much prefer professional people who will work to get the task finished. People who have time constraints they place upon their employer should be working non-exempt and punching in and out on a time clock.
Yeah - I worked a lot of extra hours. Along with other people of the same bent. We were a team, and we enjoyed the heck out of it.
Incidentally, you seem to be rather pissed about my comment. Why did you not take your own advice and simply not read it?:)
Au contraire, mon frere, I'm not pissed, I'm agitation engineering with someone who is posting AC caliber stuff while using an ID.
I have no intention of not reading your stuff, it gives me mirth - showing me someone to make fun of for their pettyness.
Now to drop to seriousness for a moment, if the posts from Nerval's Lobster were the self serving stuff posted by say, Microsoft shill propagandists, maybe there is a reason to take umbrage.
But this? Work-life balance for tech pros? Hardly even qualifies as clickbait, such as the Women in STEM stuff.
I hope you are a pretty old fellow, since people tend to get crankier in their old age. If you aren't old, I forsee a future of chasing those consharned teenagers off your lawn in your golf cart, while shaking your cane at them. Drive careful now.
I'm talking about when it was owned by Geeknet. Any time they posted a link to, say, SourceForge, they would mention that SourceForge and Slashdot are both owned by the same company.
Keep workin' it RyoShin, you're more annoying than moo cow guy at this point. A little more, and you'll be on the same level as hostfile guy.

Might not be a sound strategy if a person demands to know exactly how many hours they will be working. You somehow figure that when they demand that as a condition of working, they aren't demanding a 40 hour week?
Someone asks me that in an interview, it's over, thank you very much.
I make it clear in my interviews that I do understand the concept of limited crunch time, and will work longer hours temporarily as actually needed. If they offer me the job after that, I figure they've agreed to reasonable normal working hours. I may have lost some offers because of that, but I really didn't want to work there anyway.
Yup, and I wouldn't want you working with me either, so it's a match made in heaven. I much prefer professional people who will work to get the task finished. People who have time constraints they place upon their employer should be working non-exempt and punching in and out on a time clock.
Yeah - I worked a lot of extra hours. Along with other people of the same bent. We were a team, and we enjoyed the heck out of it.
Who the fuck puts bad in quotes?
"Me"
If you're not a drug trafficker, they can make you into one instantly by planting something in your luggage. And a first offense there is death.
But since you're in Indonesia, that's not much of a punishment.
And let the crocodiles man the call centers.
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.
astroturfing,
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Incidentally, you seem to be rather pissed about my comment. Why did you not take your own advice and simply not read it? :)
Au contraire, mon frere, I'm not pissed, I'm agitation engineering with someone who is posting AC caliber stuff while using an ID.
I have no intention of not reading your stuff, it gives me mirth - showing me someone to make fun of for their pettyness.
Now to drop to seriousness for a moment, if the posts from Nerval's Lobster were the self serving stuff posted by say, Microsoft shill propagandists, maybe there is a reason to take umbrage.
But this? Work-life balance for tech pros? Hardly even qualifies as clickbait, such as the Women in STEM stuff.
I hope you are a pretty old fellow, since people tend to get crankier in their old age. If you aren't old, I forsee a future of chasing those consharned teenagers off your lawn in your golf cart, while shaking your cane at them. Drive careful now.
I'm talking about when it was owned by Geeknet. Any time they posted a link to, say, SourceForge, they would mention that SourceForge and Slashdot are both owned by the same company.
Keep workin' it RyoShin, you're more annoying than moo cow guy at this point. A little more, and you'll be on the same level as hostfile guy.
If your company has a "first to leave is a slacker" culture, don't expect me to show up before noon.
I wouldn't expect you to show up at all.
