All juicing does is strip the vegetables of their fiber and ensure that you get an even larger dose of whatever industrial chemicals have been used to grow those vegetables. If you have a good nose, you can just smell the resulting juice.
Contrary to popular opinion in some circles, we are not cows. Tryign to pretend that we are cows is counterproductive. A man's gotta know his limitations. That also includes acknowledging the fact that he's missing some rather significant enzymes.
This survey from Microsoft is far too narrow minded.
One of the key advantages of Free Software is that once a problem is solved, then it is solved for everyone. What has Munich done that can be shared? What can they share with other cities in Germany? What can they share with the entire rest of the planet?
The net gain of their efforts may be worth orders of magnitude more to the world at large and similarly undermine sales efforts by Microsoft everywhere.
> Here's the thing: If you really have such a small organization that one person is all you need to run everything... then you're better off contracting an outside company to run it.
Then you've just trusted your family jewels to someone who isn't really a part of your team. They work for someone else. They have their own boss. They have their own agenda. They will try to "manage your expectations".
You're better off paying 2 of your own guys and have them twiddling their thumbs.
Outsourcing? Really? You must be one of the two Bobs.
On the desktop, I can virtualize an environment for Netflix and it's still usable. Outside of the desktop, it's not clear that you would want to run Netflix on low profile HTPC kit.
You are probably far better off with the $60 appliance and keeping both Flash and Silverlight away from your HTPC.
That actually seems to be the case regardless of OS.
Once you get beyond a very short period of time and the fact that you are now a FELON, those extra decades don't mean much.
You are going to be destroyed either way.
That is kind of the whole point of this thing.
YOU can have YOUR life destroyed over trivial shit if you happen to be unlucky enough to get noticed. All it takes is one jack*ss hoping to make a name for herself.
He was looking at a big pile of bogus escalation. In the vernacular we call this "trumped up charges". If it were any other country, these "patriots" would be crying foul and calling it tyranny rather than defending it.
Single set of facts, first offense, but blown way out of proportion because our system is corrupt and far too many cheer at this rather than objecting to it.
It's like Microsoft. I wish I didn't have to live with the consequences others who are short sighted idiots with no clue. Ideally, these people would be the only ones to suffer from their own poor choices.
> How about doing it with a Steam download that runs on _any_ modern Linux?
Use alien to turn the deb package into a simple tarball.
Then use ldd to see what libraries you are missing.
There's no magic in this sort of thing: Lay down some files. Then lay down some more files to make sure the first set works. Perhaps throw up some advertising and a progress bar.
Chances are that "modern" Linuxen are already going to have what Steam needs since Linuxen are all ultimately the same upstream projects repackaged.
Once man's "hack" is another man's Quality Assurance.
There are a lot of innocent bystanders here. Someone has chosen to be their champion in this thread already. Those bystanders are just as much as risk even if he takes the easy path and keeps his mouth shut
We already have mechanisms in place to regulate public utilities. We don't need to invent any new "neutrality police". You are pushing the "but on the Internet fallacy" which basically claims something to be new just because it's being different in a slightly different way.
It's usually used to abuse the patent system but it works in this context too.
Ironically enough, pigs are actually best suited to modern factory farming conditions. They can eat all kinds of industrial waste and thrive industrial conditions in a manner that other animals like cows and chickens find difficult. If they re-wrote Leviticus today it would be Beef and Chicken that would be unfit for human consumption.
These are modern consumers we're talking about here. They've done their best to make sure they are as far away from the source of their food as possible. They may not even cook. They probably get all of their "food" out of shiny plastic bags. Clearly, most have them have never used a meat grinder.
Hunk of cow goes in... burgers come out.
The ground cow has no problem sticking together by itself in the pan or on the plate.
If you had your life savings swindled from you, you would see just how quickly these prosecutors would be willing to ignore the perpetrators. The feds and their state equivalents will likely just blame you for being the victim and just ignore you and the crime you just reported.
"But they are just enforcing the law" rings hollow when you have been on the other side of the scales and have been ignored.
Justice is a sham and these people are just "career minded opportunists".
Plus there's always context. This wasn't just some teenager worried about not being asked to the prom. This was a kid that was facing having is entire life destroyed apart by the government.
That kind of situation is quite often NOT portrayed as a sign of mental illness when the result is suicide. (even in the West)
Logic like that would have us still using Program Manager.
Not everyone is content to just passively accept what is shoved at them. That was true even in the days of Program Manager. Replacements were available and some of us even tried to use them.
The fact that Linux users are less likely to be passive herd followers should be no surprise to anyone.
It's 2013. "Works better over dialup" is a meaningless title.
Some things are just stupid when taken to an extreme. They are useful when you need them. Although quite often that need is driven by piss poor design choices or some other idiocy more than anything else.
The catch about the cloud is that for it to really make any sense you need to have good enough bandwidth and latency that these "I'll beat you with one arm tied behind my back" arguments become pointless.
If the network is fast enough to move my data around, then X has no disadvantage. Unfortunately, the network can't move my data around. I'm still much better of with local storage and apps running locally.
> That said, even for just desktop use there are huge speed/latency differences between various RDP clients. I've tried several on Linux and haven't found one that works as well as the one built into OSX.
You mean VNC? Are you joking? That's the single worst option possible. Even on a LAN it's unusable.
Linux RDP clients do quite well as the RDP protocol is not crap and modern Windows seems to be built with remote access in mind.
AltOS support for the relevant VPN client would be real hurdle.

They will also likely last more than 2-3 times as long.
It doesn't pay to buy cheap crap. It will just break sooner. It will also likely have higher operational costs.
Finance is a little more subtle than grabbing the cheapest thing available at Wal-mart.

Any storage host in the cloud is a "content provider".
That could even be ME.
Membership in MY cloud might be VERY exclusive but it benefits from the same sort of symmetric bandwidth that any other cloud storage service does.
Robber Baron shills should be pointed out for what they are. That activity is neither pointless nor mindless.
Time Warner abuses the customer and acts like they are above the market and then whine when someone else decides to treat their customer better.
Whatever problems TWC has are all self inflicted.

...or alternately: The Half Blood Prince tweaks the results.
Don't try to kid us. We all know that you're far too cheap to actually pay for a copy of Photoshop.

Yes. THAT.

"But they are just enforcing the law" rings hollow when you have been on the other side of the scales and have been ignored.
Justice is a sham and these people are just "career minded opportunists".
Yes. Because we all know that everyone is presumed guilty and everyone that is ever noticed by the state deserves to be destroyed.
There is some irony that this is playing out in Boston.
That's nothing more than cultural bias.

On the "mainstream desktop" you are stuck eating whatever rancid poo your proprietary OS vendor wants to feed you.
Good luck with that.
Marketshare is the goal of computing devices where the largest ecosystem wins.

Most of those "advantages" are pretty irrelevant for most real world use cases of remote desktops, even when you're talking about Windows deployments.
Gratuitously adding a network to problems that don't really require it just make the problem harder.
Treating everything like a nail just because you have a hammer is just stupid.
