This is a website read by NERDS, not people wearing business suits.
I've been using this site, well for a long time. Clothes do not make the nerd nor does it distinguish a nerd from a non-nerd. Now go back to your mom's basement in your Red Dwarf T-Shirt smeghead.
This is where groklaw would be great. But Algorithms are patentable, without the requisite case ruling it's hard to ascertain why Newegg won this time around, it could be the SCOTUS ruling dealing with it giving the judge more direct clarification in this area. Allowing for windage (lawyers jockeying, filing motions and court dockets) it's conceivable this may be why Newegg won this time around.
I think my OP said if wait but some of us however do have to work with Win 10 not only in the Beta stage but also the.0 release, it's not a picnic but that's what things entail sometimes. No software is perfect, no system is perfect, no organism is perfect that's why we have evolution. It's nice to see a somewhat technical post on SD, not the usual "Why does my toe hurt" thread.
I don't care who you are, I simply do not trust your fresh release of anything, I do not wish to fix your mistakes, and do not believe over time you'll be awesome at not breaking anything ever. In fact, I think that's impossible to do 100% of the time.
Not now, not ever. Because many many years of doing change management has told me that would be stupid and reckless, and I don't work in places which are willing to do that.
Unfortunately, Microsoft seems to be trying to go down the route of pretty much forcing as many people as possible to get the updates immediately.
Either because they're arrogant morons, or they figure it's just easier if everybody else does their beta testing.
There isn't a software vendor on the planet I would accept a first day release from. And I've seen far too many day 1 mistakes from Microsoft and other vendors to ever change that.
But we've all become accustomed to accepting it. You buy that new cell phone for Christmas, it'll have a.0 release of the next gen of the O/S. It'll have bugs, problems, zero day vulnerabilities and as a consumer you'll be happy to wait 6 months to a year for a fix. You like that new Tesla because it's green, ultra cool and preppy. Is your fire insurance up to date? We do this because we want the glitter and in Win 10's case I'm not really too sure that it's revolutionary vs. Win 7 or Win 8.x. All I know right now is I have to migrate code to support it for a few customers.
There's an old joke I know that sums this up.
A little boy was annoying his mom. She then remembered that next door there was some construction going on and she told her son to go over there and watch the men working but don't get in their way. After about 2 hours she called him in for lunch.
During lunch she asked her son if he'd learned anything by watching. The little boy responded "Yes mommy!" and went to his room and brought back a ball of string. He gave one end of the string to his mother and told her to stand up, which she did.
He then order her to "move a little to the left." "How move to the right." "Naw, left a little bit."
wait, Microsoft doesn't have a lock on this kind of shit. Apple, Google, Samsung name a vendor and they have launch problems and it all stems from the complexity of building large systems or software projects. A regression gets missed or weren't there and now there's a quick shuffle to fix it. The measure we have to use is is how effective they get over time at reducing the defects by day zero but to expect zero defects is a false hope. So to your point, taking a.0 release from any vendor is risky but if you have to have it, you have to have it and learn to deal with the consequences.
I wish it would go back to allowing side by side operation of.NET instead of replacing 4.5.X with 4.6. I have Win 10 isolated in VMs and 4.6 is already breaking quite a few things. Nicks got a good workaround for this particular problem but I still can't believe that something this basic missed QA in MSFT because.NET regression tests would be a basic must have including JIT problems.
Wait until the.1 release of Windows 10 unless you have to be on the bleeding edge. Despite the promises made by Microsoft, it'll have bugs, cause problems and third party support will be lagging.
I can't believe the billions of bits that died in the production and subsequent redistribution of this article. We're all dumber now for reading it.
I shall now drown my sorry in beer to see if I can't placate the inexorable struggle of those brain cells trying to make sense of this diarrhea and those others that are saying "WTF, Why did you read this?!? This is another let me share a bunch of drivel shit article. It's like Show and Tell in Kindergarten, just ignore it!"
Yeah, keep believing that. The nice BMW 3 Series today felt soooooo much like a broke-down Crown Vic, Not!. It's a car for hire service, call it a Taxi, whatever it's fucking better than these licensed monopolies.
No, you have $14m in credited assets that the government can seize when there's any indication of fraud. You may have it for a short time, but before you realize it somebody goes WTF and you're in jail.
having worked in the gaming industry, you don't want to even have an air of suspicion around improper tampering of a gaming system, in this case a lottery system. Even if you're innocent you can lose your ability to make a living because you won't be able to be licensed or carried under a licensed gaming manufacturer.
1) I have yet to meet an unsafe driver. These people driving for both services care about what they're doing unlike Taxi drivers. I've been nearly killed more times than I care to count by Taxi drivers who are working a long shift or who got their licenses in cracker jack boxes. 2) If there's a problem, it gets resolved quickly with Uber or Lyft. With a Taxi company I have to deal with a local government bureaucracy who rarely follow up or actually deal with the complaint. I'm talking about you DC Taxi Commission. 3) I travel frequently on business, I get one set of bills and it's concise not scribbled out and also not billed to some third party company you've never heard of. 4) The pricing is consistent and easy to understand, not some byzantine billing scheme where just getting in the cab can cost you an arm and a leg. I also don't get taken for a ride so to speak, you know when the driver pads the meter. 5) Obtaining a ride and tracking it is easy.
Uber and Lyft can be put out of business very quickly if the protected monopoly of Taxi companies and various commissions just started offering a more competitive environment; that's the big threat here. You have a service that comes in and undercuts a cash cow for governments and for license holders. They don't like it because it threatens their bottom line and that's a valid argument but instead of being more competitive, they protest and burn things (like in France recently)
I also agree that whoever is driving me should be screened, a safe driver and the vehicle I'm in should be safe and reliable but I'd argue that a lot of Taxis at least in the US don't meet that criteria regardless of the litany of bureaucratic organizations that are supposed to make sure that it is. I also want these services not to use me as a mined resource for further profit. If I can get all of that from a Taxi cab, I'll use them more.
Companies won't adopt 10 in large groups for quite awhile. That coupled with zero day vuln's which are bound to happen, it'll be patch Tuesday every day! Don't forget a brand new browser too.. After all today MS15-078 another zero day, critical was released out of band. Let chaos reign.

AFAIK here's the Patent

Sometimes you just have to ship the product.
point taken.

i found it quite amusing, quit using the grammatical issue as a club.
Until Mythbusters confirms it, I'll just say it's Plausible.
Paranoia aside, I agree I don't want things linked with new and "innovative" features that mainly enhance the mining capabilities of the provider.
systemd is sooo 1h2015
Buzzkill ...
Here's a notice for people who talk on their phones like it were a slice of pizza, unfortunately for all of us your conversation isn't private.

give it to me in gold then.

So the stock market then?

not to mention the thousands of lawyers looking for class action lawsuit money when it fails.

Actually the strategy is go get rid of "patch Tuesday" Now your systems will get hosed like uhm, whenever.
