What we need is a site that simply pulls all content via BitTorrent with seamless streaming. Video streaming via BitTorrent has been possible for a while, and in a closed implementation it could easily be made to work. Just need yet another bloated, permission-fucking JS library to integrate that into a browser window and force all connected viewers to upload. The site itself could be nothing but minimal html/xml and magnet links. Even the layouts and static content could be delivered by magnet links and cached. If a new version is posted, the user gets the option to fetch the site layout, or keep the old one.
The 5K iMac has specialized internal hardware and drivers to drive that 5K screen.
5120x2880 at 24 bits per pixel and 60 frames per second requires less than 20 Gbps.
DisplayPort 1.3 gets you over 24 Gbps. DisplayPort 1.3 was done in September of 2014, and Apple certainly had their hands on the specs well in advance. DisplayPort 1.2 got you just over 16 Gbps. With 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, you'd be able to drive 5k a 60 Hz.
You don't need anything special to drive 5k, you just need the bandwidth. Older solutions involved sending the signal via two cables. It's nothing special.
Dear developers: Please ensure your site is functional in browsers other than Chrome. I first noticed the odd animation on https://open365.io/ on Pale Moon, so I checked it in all the browsers I have installed.
Chrome shows it as it's intended (I assume) Pale Moon shows the animation but it's not as smooth as in Chrome Mozilla shows it as a herky jerky mess that eats up your CPU IE (11, latest version on Windows 7) doesn't even render the background properly
I wouldn't dare to load it up in the pre-4.4 Android browser (Dolphin?).
Just started a new gig -- full-time, exempt, over the threshold by more than 100% -- but I had to read the employee handbook that covers overtime rules for non-exempt employees.
Yes, we have to give you overtime pay if you work more than 40 hours per week.
No, you're not allowed to work overtime without reporting it.
If you work overtime without prior management approval, you'll be reprimanded. If you keep doing it, you can be terminated.
Now, you've been assigned a certain duty on the production line, and you're not going to be able to finish it in the 40 hours you've been allotted. Which rule are you going to break?
I'd suggest you break the whistle blower policy, which is almost certainly "come to us first so we can sweep it under the rug before firing you", and blow the whistle.
Everything with separate user and device CALS I've ever seen lets you choose whether to buy a user CAL or a device CAL. Some things require you to license only one way or the other. For an RDS service you can't mix user CALs and device CALs. It's one or the other, so you have to determine which is cheaper overall. For server software like SQL, it was per socket for ages. Recently they started charging per core, and a typical license allows you to run on 2 cores, so you need to buy packs of licenses covering all the cores you need to run on. For Windows Server itself, you've got a similar situation as above, but you get to run 1 physical and 2 virtual instances per licensed copy of Windows Server. I believe you have to use their visualization shit, but I'm not sure if virtual instances have to run in the physical instance or not. We use VMware and our Windows servers are virtual already, with virtual CPU allocations mapping to physical CPUs. We're already virtualized, so I see no need in running additional virtualization layers.
Making sense of MS's licensing schemes is a nightmare, especially when they keep changing them. Their sales people don't know what the licenses actually grant you, can't tell you what you need, and have no chance in hell of ever linking you to a place where you can buy a license that matches the name of what they said you should buy. The whole software industry is like this though. I can't buy a software license for an Adobe product and get an actual description of what I'm buying. Buying Acrobat DC got me Acrobat 2016, and I have no clue what type of license it actually is. It installed though, and I gave them money. If they want to audit anything they can read the email logs between myself and their own sales people.
How are you generating, distributing, and storing the one-time pads? If you're doing it inside the blockchain, then lol. If you're doing it outside the blockchain, then the blockchain piece of the project is pointless, as all security has to cover the generation, distribution, and storage of the one-time pads.
In before Neil The Quack Tyson announces that our universe is a simulation run inside a black hole in a larger, parent universe. Every black hole in our parent universe is an instance server for another simulation. Every black hole in our universe is an instance server for a simulation one level below us. We didn't build them, so aliens must have, thus aliens exist and are simulating universes. We can then conclude that it's most probably true that the people running our universe's simulation are also aliens and thus it is most probably true that we are not the focus of the simulation. The aliens running the other simulations in our universe are the focus, thus nothing we do matters. Ultimately, nothing we do matters, so we can all forget about how bad remake of Cosmos was.
Non-relational databases are absolutely retarded. If your data has any value, it must have meaning. If your data has any meaning, it can be modeled in some way.
"Big Data" retards just take in information and shit it all out into one dump, hoping to extract meaning and value later, without caring about integrity, correctness, or completeness. You end up searching for nuggets of gold in a mountain of shit, with no way to verify the nuggets you find are actually gold.
And traveling back in time is impossible because whenever someone invents a time machine, it's eventually used to go back and prevent the invention of the time machine.
For the past couple of months Youtube ads have been unavoidable on my phone. It's not to the point where I'll update the hosts file to find out why, but that's probably because it's easier to just skip watching Youtube shit on my phone.
On my PC, the ads are blocked with my current block lists but Youtube will now sit and wait for an ad to load and play for about 10 seconds before just giving me the video. So I get to stare at a black square for 10 seconds before the video loads whenever they decide it's time for another ad (seems to be about 1/4 of the time). I just switch to a different tab until I hear the audio kick in, or I skip the video.
Even content I do care to watch I play at 1.5x speed by default just to save time.
My network-fu may be a little rusty, but why would that matter? MACs are burned into the network controller's ROM..
MACs have been editable on consumer shit for ages. My old ass nForce 2 chipset from 2002 had an option to define the MAC via the BIOS and via the driver, for example. Any NIC supporting virtual interfaces (such as for VLANs) will do the same thing. Then you've got VMs. Then you've got the fact that my physical interfaces are many (2 wireless, 2 wired on my main box), so even if I want to stick with the default MAC I've got 4 to handle.

Pretty much. "Self-destructing" and "blockchain" don't go together.

Microsoft always looks backwards. They never innovative.
Looking backwards is the only way they can see the competition, because:
A: MS is so far ahead of them!
B: MS is going in the wrong direction!
