"Fastest SSD ever in a laptop" short of all the laptops released in the last few years with NVMe PCIe 4x SSD slots with a 960 Pro slapped in them. I have a Sager with a 960 Pro in it, though not clear if Apple is basing theirs on the 960 Pro, 970 Evo, or 970 Pro. As the benchmarks posted put it somewhere around the speed of the 970 Evo, but I also don't trust any of the benchmarks they've used.
You just gave the same reasons to not use Amazon and Google as to not use Azure (that you for some reason keep calling Asure). As once you integrate with Azure, you're not coming back to the data center either (unless you severely restrict which services you use, but the same could be said of both Amazon and Google).
Seriously is this even a conversation? I have caught people doing this, and let them go. And then they had the nerve to come back and ask for the code off their COMPANY laptop. And the funniest part, they had actually used company naming conventions for the code as well, so it had our company name all over it. Company time, Company Laptop, Company Property. Pretty simple concept.
Exactly, you can do whatever you want with Android, just don't expect to use the Google Services (Google Play Store, etc.). Amazon did it, others have done it. This just smells to high heaven to me.
Accounts not Users. You probably need to multiply by 3 or 4 to get a more accurate number of actual people using Netflix due to families, account sharing, etc.
The bill overturned (which wasn't even in effect yet) only blocked ISP's while allowing Facebook, Google, etc. to do it. How about a full privacy bill!
Unfortunately it's still on Sprint's CRAPPY network. What good is having all that unlimited bandwidth when you can't use it. The city I live in (a suburb of Los Angeles) the service is so terrible I couldn't even make a call. And the funny thing is they have a Sprint store there (where they have one of those mobile hot spots, so your phone works inside the store, but walk 50 feet down the street and you're met with reality.
With my in dash GPS system I have to pay to keep the maps updated, I have to pay to get real-time traffic through Sirius (which is literally hours delayed), I have to pay pay pay.. Or I just open my phone and get all that for FREE. Seems like a no-brainer. Though my car's system does have Pandora integration, and I find myself using Pandora exclusively now because of how simple and easy it is to use. So if they could eliminate all the damn costs, and give me the same experience as my phone, I'd be willing to use it.
Agreed, they just called one of my employees 2 days ago. He was like "Comodo is calling about XYZ.com's cert expiring, we need to renew it" and I was like "That's cute, we buy our certs from GoDaddy." Then he was like yeah, but they are cheaper, 5 years for $499 and I was like "That's interesting, 39 months is the max time a cert can be issued for since 2015, tell them to go pound sand." Seriously, Comodo can go die in a fire. They even tried to tell him that we are getting our GoDaddy certs from Microsoft (as if it's a bad thing, we're an Azure shop using Microsoft technologies for everything we do, despite as far as I know it being a completely false statement). *shrugs*
Actually a limitation of free pizzas for the first 100 customers per store was specified in the promotion's fine print. Of course fine print can't protect them from the anger of customers who didn't bother to read it.
Yeah, I know it's there now, but when I looked the first week I didn't see it. I think it was added after the fall out started to happen. And from what I understand, the biggest problem is T-Mobile issued the codes to everyone (I have 4 lines, I got 4 codes each week) and then it was up to Domino's to actually limit the orders. However, when you went to order online at Dominos and use the code, instead of getting a message saying something like "This stores 100 free pizzas have already been claimed, please try another store", it came back with a generic error. So people obviously called or even better showed up to scream about not getting their free Pizza. I got mine both weeks, and I never had to go to another store, but I also ordered them for Lunch at 10:45am each day. Yes T-Mobile could have handled this better, but so could have Domino's. I was a regular subscriber to Dominos prior to this, and I did end up with 8 free pizza's, so I doubt it's going to change anything (though I'm sure I would be on the other side of the fence had I not got my free pizza's), but both parties need some percentage of the blame. I think Domino's more than anyone (they did sign up for this knowing how big T-Mobile's customer base is). I'd love to hear how many people actually redeemed it on the T-Mobile app (vs the 100 x Number of Domino's Stores) to see how big the actual discrepancy was (aka how many people got screwed).
So unless you lived under a rock, most people knew there was a security bug out there (why else would the big cloud providers be forcing a restart of all my VMs?) We didn't know what it was, and because I'm not part of the preferred client group my servers didn't get patched prior to disclosure. So for me, no this isn't sufficient. I prefer the more open way of doing it, versus fixing it in a closed "preferred client" way that they handled this.
If you're really desperate to dump your MBA for a Surface Pro 3, do yourself a favor and sell it in the aftermarket. It's worth way more than the crappy $650 that MS is willing to give you (unless your MBA is destroyed). This is one of the reasons I've always bought Mac they hold their value better (I can typically sell them 2 years later for 60-80% of what I paid for them (try that with a Dell)).
Yeah, I was complaining to them about this exact issue, but they just don't care. I used to get everything with UPS/Fedex and it was great and reliable. Then it went to OnTrac and it became problematic, and now it's all coming via the USPS and half the time they say I'm not home when I am (I work from home, I absolutely assure you I am here), and let's not forget the problem that I haven't gotten a package in the promised time in forever. It's simply not worth the hassle to complain to Amazon every time anymore, I'll just let my subscription lapse (and it's definitely not worth more money (unless they will let me choose UPS/FedEx only for example, that I would pay more for)).
What blows my mind is that this guy doesn't seem to know that Libraries just like Video Rental stores pay MORE for the items than normal retail. And I'm not talking a little more either, it's usually pretty dang ludicrously expensive.
Disclaimer: I also used to work for UltraDNS (didn't everyone?)
Anyway, I totally agree. I actually think the product is useful. But I also agree that the target market is very small.
The amount of redundancy / network footprint they deploy is wonderful if you are a large company who has invested lots of money building a highly redundant web farm / network footprint. UltraDNS provides them with a solution that doesn't require them to have to build, deploy, and operate this piece as well.
But for the average joe user (me for example), if my DNS server is down, so is my webserver. So nothing is really lost (okay maybe an MX record, so I have a second DNS server on another machine and a backup MX host). This is plenty for me.

Reading these responses blow my mind. I truly feel like I'm on Tumblr reading SJW after SJW getting triggered. Grow up!
Cool, guess I don't need to worry about getting calls remotely from my office's SIP phone system anymore. Sweet!

100 million cucks! I won't give them a penny with crap like "Dear White People." But hey to each their own right?
I'm so confused, I mean seriously you don't want to use google search, BUILD YOUR OWN OS. Android is built by Google!
And search, advertising, etc. Basically all the things we all hate about the internet but just accept as "normal."
Exactly, so how does this help me? Why should the developer go out of his way to optimize for a specific chip?

I was about to say just this. This increases transparency.
You have some actual evidence that he had a seizure? That he filed a police report? That is besides some tweets HE made?
I've had good luck with the HP Zbook Studio G3 Mobile Workstation.

Nice, so now I can add xHamster to the list of stuff I won't support alongside Paypal and Springsteen.. Perfect..
