99.9% of all Windows users would happily type in their password if an application popped up an authentic looking fake full screen windows login screen with the cursor flashing inside the password box. They're not going to press CtrlAltDel because it is already asking for their password.
Unless companies are educating users that they must always press CtrlAltDel even if the password cursor is blinking (which most won't bother) the whole CtrlAltDel requirement is just bullshit. Passing it off as a security thing is well and good but only nerds are going to understand this and maybe be aware enough to press it in the above example. I can honestly say that I'd probably be fooled by this type of trick if done on a busy day.
This is a side effect of a digital cultural culling taking place right now on mainstream social media. If you take your fingers out of your ears, open your eyes, and fire off a few brain cells of critical thought you will see what is actually happening.
Exclusives were probably less disastrous than other factors, but it was indeed a factor. iPhone was exclusive for a while and they did fine but they excelled in every other aspect.
PalmOS certainly was ahead of its time and would have done very well on decent hardware. Every Pre released had too small of a processor and RAM compared to other flagship devices. It was incredibly frustrating waiting 10-15 seconds between simple tasks like adding something to calendar, bringing up the dialer, while every other device did this seemingly instantly. Had Palm charged $50 more and bumped the specs up a bit and not run the worst marketing campaign in history, they would most likely be in a 3 way split with Android and iOS.
They were perfectly positioned to compete and screwed it up almost as epically as RIM.
The entire train is encased in a vacuum tight tube mostly underground. You'd need to wear a space suit, have access to an air lock, and disrupt the magnetic field of the 'track' that the train hovers above.
Not saying it's impossible but it would be much easier to put a bomb in some luggage and send it on its way.
There will certainly be non-terror disasters along the way to 2000mph in the form of learning opportunities, much like air disasters are learning opportunities for safer aircraft.
Transportation has never been without human sacrifice. Until a race of highly advanced aliens transmits all of their knowledge to us we will have to pay the price.
Do you ever stop and think that at any given time of the day there are 5000+ commercial aircraft in the sky and how rare accidents actually are? We got this far with air travel, I see no reason we cannot do the same with hypertrains.
I took the plunge and pre-ordered the Note 8 to replace my four year old Note 3.
I've found that for me 4 years is the limit. Not so much because the phone is broken but more that newer apps won't work well on such old hardware. I had the Droid X 4 years prior then the Palm Centro 4 years prior to that. All these phone held up well and I still have them. The only thing wrong with my note 3 is a stuck menu button that I had to disable via root.
I think it's more than that. I was 24 at the time and the excitement for me was always the newness of it not so much the actual game. Quake was pretty groundbreaking. So much so that even Cox Communications had dedicated Quake servers back when cable modems weighed 10 lbs and had actual heatsink fins coming out of the top. There was another startup called TEN (Total Entertainment Network) that created a IPX to TCP/IP plugin for Duke Nukem 3D. There never was anything more fun video game wise for me.
I used to wake up a couple hours before work just to be a LPB and it was glorious. Always something to look forward to in the morning.
The reality of it was that we were all nerds. The masses were still using AOL. When they arrived and their money entered the mix we didn't matter anymore. The stuff that was fun for us wasn't necessarily fun for them. The talent followed the money and were where we are now.
There really isn't anything new today on the PC that is nearly as exciting as it was back then, PC's haven't really changed much. They just got faster and that's about all. From 1990 to about 2000 there were major advances that were truly exciting. Everything since then has been incremental. The smartphone being the only exception to this.
Well, you could just get out and hail an Uber. But that is the least of my worries being in an autonomous vehicle. I'm more worried about something like this happening.
Yeah because MsMpEng.exe consuming 100% cpu during simple file operations is better. Windows defender is the TSA of antivirus. Target everything and anything for scan regardless of how impossible it is to be infected with anything harmful in the least efficient way possible using days old definitions that can't target zero day threats.
Some commercial products really are much better IMO.
No kidding. Especially if you're trying to run commercial-grade audio production software. Windows 7 doesn't mean a thing for security unless it's the original release without updates.
Not only that, but it would have had to have been directly connected to the internet without a firewall for someone to "search the internet for computers running older versions of Windows"
Musk did a proof of concept not too long ago showing that this was possible. His robot swapped two model S batteries in less time than it took to fill up a ICE sedan.

Of course building out a traditional charging infrastructure is more important. Given enough time though I can see this as being a premium option.
Microsoft broke Windows Update on Windows 7 soon after the Windows 10 Upgrade windows closed with some botched updates. Windows 7 computers that didn't take the update were treated with a runaway svchost.exe processes that consumed 100% of a core and near a GB of RAM while halting future updates at the same time. The only way to get performance back was to disable Windows Update. Even reloading Windows 7 from scratch didn't solve the problem. Updates would never come, and svchost.exe was stuck at 100% and massive amounts of memory. Microsoft let this problem linger for months probably in the hopes that users would upgrade to 10. Others here have suggested that it was due to MS not releasing roll-up updates and letting the library grow beyond what Windows Update was able to process. Since the April 2017 security patch Microsoft has begun roll-up updates to solve this problem.
No, but they can budget for and hire a reputable IT service provider that does, most of which can be done remotely. Problem is many of these small businesses don't see the need and pay as little as they can get away with or do it themselves. They have no problem paying for proper preventive maintenance on their fleet of vehicles but heaven forbid they give IT similar focus.
Bankruptcies are a method used to reorganize a business in financial duress. Businesses that succeed only do so by taking risks. These risks don't always work out and often times lead to restructuring and trying something else. Without bankruptcy this would be much more difficult and less businesses would take risks. Someone that has a controlling interest in 500+ businesses with only 6 bankruptcies tells me that they are extremely successful and knows much more than most what they are doing.
Part 2 would have been fine if they did a different part 3. I was convinced and excited at the prospect of a layered reality. We had the kid give the bendy spoons to Neo, Agent smith downloading himself into someone living outside of the matrix in Zion (HTF is computer code supposed to run in a human brain anyway?). Then at the end when lightning bolts shot out of Neo's hands and destroyed the sentinels there was no way at this point he was not still in some type of matrix.
Sadly when part 3 came out all it did was double down on a stupid plot. Both movies on their own are good if the other had a different plot, but instead they both ruin each other and do not exist IMO.
If I travel in a Uber car, a paying fare, I am not covered at all, not even by the local mandatory third party insurance. A potential disaster.
Uber does carry insurance for passengers covering them as you say every way from Sunday. It even goes further by offering unlimited coverage for injuries or death.
I'm no fan of Uber, I think their corporate culture sucks. But they have covered their asses very well as far as insurance for passengers is concerned. They don't give two shits about their drivers though.
PS/2 ports use a dedicated hardware interrupt. USB is shared among many other devices and can get backlogged. I connect my mouse to the PS/2 on this motherboard just so my cursor doesn't bounce around when I'm rendering something on all cores in the background while browsing the web. I'm sure some gamers find this useful too.

We need a way to opt out of this madness.

With the recent firing of James Demore I'm terrified of any technology developed by Silicon Valley based tech companies
I don't think anyone that participated in OWS knew what OWS was.
Yeah because MsMpEng.exe consuming 100% cpu during simple file operations is better.

Right. It has nothing at all to do with choosing to live in the most expensive area on the planet.
No kidding. Especially if you're trying to run commercial-grade audio production software. Windows 7 doesn't mean a thing for security unless it's the original release without updates.
Not only that, but it would have had to have been directly connected to the internet without a firewall for someone to "search the internet for computers running older versions of Windows"

Oh good grief. Who's the fascists here? Think about that for a bit and get back to me. I'm curious what you come up with.

Just like Twitter, some youtubers are more equal than others.

This is 100% Microsoft's fault.

Such a great movie. Very thought provoking and the entire premise is talked about much more seriously now.
