For AI is the same, don't worry soon it will outrun, outpace,... and make you completely useless. But it's ok.
On car topic: I can't wait for this to be a safety feature, Imagine, you drive full throttle down the road, but you miss-judged a corner, the AI, with light-speed reaction time understand that you can't make it at that speed and applies the little correction you need to make it through. It's the same, with traction-control, ABS,... this will just be the next logical step.
I understand, you need Windows to operate the main system, but... you can isolate this servers from the rest of your network. Make them accessible only via Remote desktop and have all the other PCs on Linux.
Yes, it costs more and you need to train your employees to use different GUIs. In the end is your improved downtime and security worth the cost?
Unless they have categories for "warez" and "pr0n", I can guarantee that the feature results are completely irrelevant for what 95% of the world uses bitTorrent for.
And this is different from the rest of Internet in what way? Warez, pron, spam and viruses are 95% of the Internet traffic.
We already gave up space exploration to AI, it's time we gave up driving to them too.
I consider myself one of the best drivers out there (who doesn't:), but I can't wait to give up driving. I'd rather play driving games while the AI drives, rather then wasting my energy in traffic.
I'm a sysadmin, not only I have to keep track off you just siad, but I have 40+ accounts at work with security policy to change them every month.
PITA? yes. But security comes at a price.
I pay 33E for my optical 20/20MB (5ms to my ISP, 24ms to google, 0 jitter or packet loss, static IP free of charge) line and I exchange 800Gb data per month.
In my country (Slovenia) not a single person has ever received a letter of complaint from the ISP (ISPs got several from US, but they trash it instead to harass their users), no one was ever throttled and the line always, without a single exception, delivers the promised speed.
Only people living in rural areas experience internet problems due to old infrastructure, in towns the downtime are limited to a couple of hours a year and it happens only during the night.
P.S: I live in a town of 10.000 people, so size doesn't matter when it come to Internet prices. So if you pay more and get less you only have to blame the greed of your ISP provider.
Security questions are completely pointless. They were implemented because idiots used the same username / email adress and passwords across different websites. So once a hacker got all the info from a poorly secured website he was able to access all the user accounts.
All you need is a username and password, if you want a 2nd security check use the email you can't replace in 5 min within the account (put a 2 months delay). If the user is so stupid to use the same password on the email let him pay the price, don't force people who use secure logins to suffer the mandatory secure questions as it is not needed.
Can't be arsed to check the article but I guess it would be through web browsing or installing the application.
Anyway, we are safe, the web browser on BB suck so much no one is using and the app are so shitty not one is worth your time to installl it for free, let alone pay for it.
Still, I didn't trade my free BB for a free android (comes with the job), since android devices would need a clean format before I'd dare to use it. oh, and wouldn't touch Apple with a pole, cuz I just hate corporate policy to lock the user.
Yap and idiot. Having insecure passwords over multiple different services is moronic at best. The fact that he has no backup when using cloud services is priceless and I bet he didn't even encrypt the data before putting it on an unknown server.
P.S: WTF is daisy-chained, saved passwords or same password across different accounts?
Use your passwords wisely and never let the OS save them if they are for important services, yes it takes more typing to access the mail, but this is what you do to be secure.
VR has been there for quite a while, and the reason it is not widespread isn't lack of imagination but its prohibitive costs. And since Google Glass still costs an arm and a leg, it won't start any revolution.
The real reason VR is not here is technical limitation, not cost. The best glasses for now only offer 720p@60Hz (700E) and still weight a little too much. Wait 2 years and you will see VR in hardcore gaming rings.
If you need a gun or armed security to feel secure something is deeply wrong with your country. And the fact that you only think how to solve this particular problem instead to focus on the reason it happened is even more tragic.
Shitty web browser, shitty GPS offline maps and shitty email support (deleted mails do not sync), very good bandwidth optimization and keyboard.
Still, I have turned down a free android phone over my BB, cuz when I saw all the shit installed on the phone I realized that I need a clean install. And rooting the phone would take time I don't like to spend on the phone.
In about 1 or 2 years the new generation of VR helmets will arrive. The current one are ok-ish, but not hardcore enough to get the attention from hard-core gamers on triple screens setup.
Once we have 1080P@120Hz, 180 filed of view and some other details I can't be arsed to google right now, we will forget about screens.
No, it's right that we see what happens, rather then closing our eye and screaming hopping that the problem* will go away.
The whole IP scene must evolve, the money is there if the service provide more to the user.
*I don't think this is a problem at all, it's just a problem for distribution companies, and I hope they all die in pain.
OH, another thing, it's not only about ABS but also about electronic brake distribution. So every brake gets the maximum force before locking up. No way you can do something like that with only 1 brake paddle in your car.

Do you have any benchmark link? If it wasn't for DX11 I'd still use WinXP.

Why would anyone knowledgeable enough to build his own PC install Windows 8 on it?
I understand, you need Windows to operate the main system, but ... you can isolate this servers from the rest of your network. Make them accessible only via Remote desktop and have all the other PCs on Linux.
Yes, it costs more and you need to train your employees to use different GUIs. In the end is your improved downtime and security worth the cost?
You got infected by a generic virus. In this case it seems the attack was specifically designed to target this company.
On a side note. Let me guess, another Windows IT infrastructure.
Think of the kittens! Curiosity killed the cat!

Ms. Slashdot, add a custom mod option where we enter what we wont.
I tried it too and it was faster on Linux, but .....most of the graphic effects were missing, so this might be the reason.
science that is applied for dubious rather than nobel goals
Yeah, all scientists should have a nobel as a goal, not money
This is why we need a troll-funny mod option.

And you got a nice proof that piracy lower the games cost.

Let me be the first to come with a car analogy: What is a driver's life worth?
Not much, considering that Saab, one of the safest cars of all time, went bankrupt.

Then for your could look for a professional ABS system + EBD to gain the upper hand on the competition. :)
OH, another thing, it's not only about ABS but also about electronic brake distribution. So every brake gets the maximum force before locking up. No way you can do something like that with only 1 brake paddle in your car.
