Seriously, if you have enough cash and connections to even think about starting a company, or even doing one of these new-fangled "startups", then you're better off than 95% of the country and better of than 99% of the world.
Very soon after Minecraft launched, we noticed teachers bringing the game into their classrooms
Often inspired by the passion of their students, they started using Minecraft to design history lessons, teach language classes, explore mathematics, physics, computer science, writing, and more.
Bullshit, bullshit, and more bullshit. I don't doubt that teachers have in fact used Minecraft for these things, but they're certainly not designing lessons, teaching classes, or exploring subjects. They're faffing about with Minecraft and the students don't benefit from it.
because the topics mentioned aren't opinions, they are facts - there is no room for someone to have an opinion on whether "the Earth is getting warmer mostly due to human activity" for instance. Either it is, or it isn't, and facts overwhelmingly point to yes.
command.com and cmd.exe are different, both are NOT DOS, and both are NOT Windows. PowerShell isn't a core part of Windows (yet) and doesn't have anywhere near the coverage necessary to be a true CLI.
These things may be CLIs, but they are not "Windows CLI". There is no "Windows CLI". idbeholda has no idea what he's doing. He seems to think running pulling some strings from some cmd.exe commands let him create strong, hardware-locking DRM.
There is no "Windows CLI". I even told you that when I said "(Hint - there is no such thing.)". Windows is a GUI. Windows does not have a CLI. The CLI you are referring to is a faked, extended DOS environment (to various degrees of fakeness depending on your version and bitness of Windows, cmd.exe vs. command.com, etc. ). It is not Windows. Windows has PowerShell now, but it's not a core part of the OS. In short, Windows does NOT have a true CLI.
Uh, no. The value of Widget A reflects its potential use as a component in Widget B. The value of something is never anything more than the sum of the value of the raw materials and labor required to make it. The price is another matter.
Voodoo economics like the shit you just spewed are exactly why we're fucked deep into an abyss of debt while doing an inflationary spiral.
Or you could wash the wings once in a while. You're on the tarmac for over an hour while:
- Passengers are busy boarding despite their boarding group not being called.
- Crews are not loading your luggage.
- The pilot is working on his second cup of "sober up" coffee.
- The flight attendants are gossiping about who fucked whom.
- Etc.
Might as well have a guy spend 2 minutes hosing off the wings. Impact of build-up during a single flight surely falls below the point where applying and maintaining a fancy coating is cheaper than having Jose hos-e off the bugs.
If total overhead increase of 200KB for compiled application size, and ~3-5MB memory overhead for non-invasive DRM is a joke, then yes. But not as much as MS extending support until 2024 to allow for the "migration to.NET". At that point, I'll have moved onto other things.
Hopefully you move onto something you understand. Do you REALLY think you're the first person to think they've got good DRM?
What, exactly, is "Windows CLI"? (Hint - there is no such thing.) Further, you can fake any and all responses to such queries. It's not too hard if you're admin on the box. Or you can take the easy way out and run the thing in a VM.
Hash collisions happen. The real solution is to NOT use a generation algorithm for keys. Generate strings, then approve only those you actually sell and distribute. Software installation/runtime checks locally against the generation algorithm, allowing for offline installations, bundled installers, old version installs, use in 50 years after all the servers are gone, etc. Updates ask for your key and the server decides if it's valid (an approved string that hasn't been used by thousands of PCs across the net). Allow manual updates from pre-downloaded files for offline use, use after the servers are gone, bundled installers, etc. If you want to be nice, allow anyone to download these updates, perhaps after some time period, or perhaps only when the software is EOL.
From Musk: There was an overpressure event in the upper stage liquid oxygen tank. Data suggests counter intuitive cause.
More info after a thorough fault tree analysis.
(I left my froot-loops in the stage 2 oxygen tank -- sorry about that Elon.)
How about Musk let the actual engineers talk about what happened. Distilling this catastrophic failure into a fucking tweet by a PHB who only takes an interest when he needs to run PR damage control is fucking insulting to the people who are actually working on shit.
Like the Nintendo DS / DSi / 3DS? Or the other decades-old touch screen devices I already own? Why is this news? The resistive touch screen has been around for ages, and it's still superior to capacitive trash.

And if you give your wifi credentials to a guest who needs access to your network, they can opt you in without your permission or even your knowledge.
They could also shout it from a mountaintop. There's no _optout option for that.
Would you say a financially comfortable american with terminal cancer is 'better off' than 99% of the world?
Yes I would.

Might want to look up every single failed "Edutainment" attempt in history.
I'm guessing you've never taught something to someone in an effective manner.

Testing, let alone QA testing or MORE testing, is NOT the Google way.

A Ponzi scheme is a zero sum game.
All economies are zero sum.
The whole Universe is zero sum.

Burned-in MACs? My nForce 2 motherboard's NIC (the nVidia one, not the Realtek one) has a MAC that's user-definable in BIOS.

Elon Musk and SpaceX are a setback for humanity. Our tax money make him rich to recycle NASA tech from years ago, instead of helping us move on.
No, they're failing to recycle NASA tech from decades ago.
These are solved problems. Hire the old guard and learn from them.

> Google illegally copied Oracle's shit. Deal with it.
This would make sense to anybody who has never done any actual programming.
And to anybody who has. They fucking copied shit exactly.
Fucking lawyers just never stop.
Google illegally copied Oracle's shit. Deal with it.
That term you use, Continuous Integration... I do not think it means what you think it means.
And I don't think it fucking means anything. It's fluffy bullshit.
No, we're talking about pressure-sensitive inputs, and retards like you are acting as if it's a new thing.
