A lot of software require specific hardware to run in any usable way (3D, high end gaming), so what would be the benefit of running it on underpowered hardware?
In the old days when I had to deal with this (sending EBCDIC encoded data to companies using mainframes), I did not have to deal with the conversion tables, as OpenVMS had system subroutines to do this.
Sending EBCDIC data on half inch tapes.... those were the days...
False comparison. If there were a hundred idiots standing around the crosswalk making noise with their kazoos, then the signal would pretty much be useless for the blind, and could be turned off. That is how quite a number of discussion boards are today.
I have not used the imdb message boards, but a quick sample of comments there unfortunately confirmed that most of it is negative noise. Little of value will be lost.
The problem here is that Facebook want newspapers to publish on Facebook. Zuckeberg knows that Facebook need more than cuddly cats to survive long term. So maybe it is in his interest to listen?
...on how you rate the innovations from the various eras.
The development from mass starvation to beinga ble to feed the polulation is obviously more important to most people than the iPhone.
So the question cannot really be answered, as each era haas had its innovations which were really important at the time, while may seem trivial now.
It is also important to note that most innovations depend on previous innovations, so you rate one innovation without knowing what it is based on.
> Whats the total life of a kindle? Do they trade them in/up? can you swap the battery like a smoke detector?
I have a Kindle which is close to 10 years. No problems with the battery. And as the Kindle cost less than a decent bookshelf (and a fraction of a decent phone or tablet), what is the problem?
And, btw, how many free books can you pick up in physical format? There are literally thousands of classical books out there at no cost in electronic format.
When I want to read a book, I usually want to read it NOW. Which I can do. Buy on Amazon, turn on WiFi on the Kindle (usually off to save on the batteries), and a few secods later, it is there. And a few more mouse clicks, it is on my wife's Kindle as well. And I do not need extra space in my luggage to carry the book. Or all the other ones.
For this scenario, there are continuous backup systems. Any change made to the file system is also written to the backup system. The backup system can then build virtual full backups offline.
The buzzword here is that they use solar power to extract and convert CO2. Sounds nice for those not into the pysics of energy conversion and chemistry.
It is a lot more efficient to use the solar power to reduce CO2 emissions by replacing the burning of fossile fuel with solar energy. Pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere is extremely costly on the energy balance, and should be avoided, except in the form of planting some trees.
Actually, in many countries, the pager infrastructure has been shut down. Where I live, the pager infrastructure was turned off around ten years ago. Nobody cared.

It is actually management who hace failed by not ensuring that the people that run their IT systems do it in a secure way.
Microsoft still support XP. Just not for free.
And how would they get users to upgrade?
Look at all the resistance to get rid of XP, and even (for Win7/8 users) getting people to do the free Win10 upgrade?
If that is typical, may i suggest checking out what is available outside of the breakfast room? Lots of nature and nice people.
One question is if this really is desireable...

I guess that is another thing everybody knows (or should know): "Temporary" solutions tend to become "permanent temporary" after a while...

So there are probably more people commenting on this article than are actually puchasing cassettes.
The price quoted it pretty close to a business class ticket on a traditional flight, so the market may actually be there.
>But some fans object to not being able to disseminate and see live shows via videotape..."
So they copy the shows from their phones over to video tape?
How interesting...
There are a few videos on Youtube where some pretty experienced people try to find what is a real tube amp and what is a Kemper emulated amp. They fail. Not just fail. They FAIL. And admit it.

Why cannot the moderators take 20 seconds to check the source of this rubbish?
Yes, it has to be shouted at whoever let this pass through moderation.
Do people still use checks? wow...

I think you sort of describe teaming, which is standard stuff on the server side.
...use McAfee? Wow...

I am not confusing it with analog cell service. That one was shut down here 15 years ago.
