I would but... she has already been using yahoo mail since forever... so the occasional phone call or stop by her house isn't so bad. If I switched her over to a mail client I would have to maintain that in addition to her browser which is basically all I have to make sure keeps working at this point.
I have a 60 something year old aunt... she uses Yahoo mail.... every few months I get a call from her about not being able to figure out how to get the mail client into the right 3 pane view. She used to be a telephone operator up until the 90's can can follow instructions well... but when there is so much on the screen it can be very hard to process it all to even find what she is looking for when she knows what it is... and just can't place WHERE it is in the UI.
These calls mostly occur when a) browser changes due to upgrading itself, b) AT&T/yahoo decides to tweak their UI to fit in more ads c) random computer problem that is just making it not work well and frustrating to use.
I look forward to the developments Andy Tanenbaum is making to help with the random computer problems though fault tolerance and smarter recovery.. but a) and b) are real problems too.
If he was working on it outside of a safe area... he should have disconnected the power, locked it out and tagged it out... anything else would have have been an OSHA violation here in the USA I would imagine.
Someone I know was tasked with catching people at work watching porn. So.. they screen grabbed everyone occasionally and checked manually. That got tedious so an algorithm was scripted to scan the photos for slightly darker circles within larger circles (breasts).... the person that wrote that code no longer has a job there because they just run the program and don't need to manually check X.x
It doesn't have to catch every concurrence of course.. just enough to flag culprits with few false positives. Also, don't code yourself out of a job!
Thing here has really high false positives, most of the time it flags faces as nude.
This is months old and probably one of the first things to come up when you do a google search on hard drive failure statistics. Also the blog linked to is not the original story.
This is where the actual data comes from... https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/
They aren't stacked directly on top they are stacked to the side of the GPU.... sort of like how intel puts a GPU on the same processor package beside it's CPU... just in this case there is an interposer that allows a much more massive number of interconnects than previously practical.
It probably makes things easier to cool than before since the memory now gets cooling it would not have previously gotten... and Memory is really the most important part of the GPU.
Acutally a bunch of Arch users left... when systemd was rolled out alot went to Gentoo a derivative of it as it seems to be one of the last holdouts against systemd. Gentoo is about choice though and there are alot of people running systemd even on Gentoo. and friends.
Costly batteries are only a problem when you want batteries that are lightweight and high capacity for vehicles... Potassium Hydroxide batteries (among others) already solve the low cost solar storage problem for fixed high reliability installations.
The only thing stopping people from switching to solar is themselves... its not even that expensive anymore relative to the cost of a new house.
The question is does this partnership hinge on the exclusion of better solutions and technologies... If not who cares if it does then we have a problem.
SCSI over USB isn't exactly all that new its been in Linux since 2012, windows since version Win8 and Mac OS since 10.8. I definitly heard about it back in 2012 maybe even in 2011.
Eh... I want to read the sequels to Count to a Trillion. Its a pretty far out there SciFi but it read quickly and kept me interested.
One of my favorite SciFi novels is The Excalibur Alternative which happens to be a free baen ebook... I want a sequel to that so bad.
Ender's game was pretty entertaining as well but I don't really have any desire to read the shadow series of it.... since it occurs chronologically at the same time as the rest of the stories I just feel it is rather pointless though I could be wrong.
Well, I hope you recover from nonfinishitis soon.. and whatever you do do not read the Hot Zone (This is the one that triggered ny nonfinishitis).
Yep that trick totally evaded me... I don't doubt that would work fine though.
Now.. what about if it had to be connected to the internet to validate the installation at startup >:W
And the server had to give it's response in a reasonable amount of time ie 100ms and you couldn't fake it on the PC due to encryption. Now I don't doubt that could be broken but it would be a tad harder at least perhaps... maybe:D
Just detect if CPU performance is above a certain threshold.... Bochs is slow dead slow as is anything else that emulates adequately enough to make this vector of attach relevant even FPU x86 cpus are at 486 performance levels these days.
It probably is capable... when it is running Windows:D.... seriously though they may have certified it with a different OS.
I don't really care what OS it was certified with as long as it can read and write the blocks correctly on an SDXC device... and noone should really care about ExFAT its just anohter MS lock in file system.
An SDXC card is a block device.... ExFAT is a filesystem which can be accessed with this open source code https://code.google.com/p/exfat/.
Sure the spec may specify it but that doesn't mean you can't use something else. I am fairly sure Richard Stallman's camera doesn't use ExFAT and probably has the resolution of a potato making the need for SDXC moot anyway since the file sizes won't be very large at all!
And of course you can format an SD card with ext2.... you can even parition the card for smaller FSs if the card size exceeds the max FS size for the given FS.

Javascript doesn't have robust anything....
Richard Burr is a traitor along with the rest of DC as well. A traitor to the foundational rights our country has cherished since it's birth.

I'm sure I could go on

If applied to the hardware that the vendor did not supply a open source driver for... then yes. That hardware is definitely broken garbage.

Motherboard and PSU capacitors going bad.... possibly the CPU going bad but the caps are more suspect.

One thing to keep in mind is that ADA is super verbose... much like its cousin VHDL.
Mainly to aid in compile time detection of errors... I've never programmed in ADA but a little VHDL in school and it looks very familiar.
And let me tell you... VHDL has the potential to be extremely verbose (behavioral models help as do other new features.. but thats off topic realy).
RMS... doesn't like LLVM either.

Urquan-Masters...literally is Star Control 2. They even upgraded it some I think in the sound department...
:D
Now if you mean new material in the style with with the level of cooky inspired awesomeness that is SC2 then yes... totally yes
