To be fair, it might actually be citrix that is the problem rather than windows but I see them as all part of the same problem.
that's definitely a citrix issue. I have never seen this issue while using RDP, I use dual 1440p monitors at home to remote into my work PC and it flawlessly connects and changes scaling to an appropriate resolution (1440p). I'm then able to administer Windows and Linux systems just like I'm at my desk at work.
windows takes 15+ minutes to login
That's definitely a broken environment. They've either overloaded the SAN/Storage (for things like vSAN/hyperconverged storage) if it's a VDI/TS instance, your local PC has a completely broken enviroment and needs to be wiped to the default OS (i'm leaning this way with stuff like cygwin installed) or your entire IT infrastructure team is completely incompetent and needs to be replaced by first year college students for superior job performance. I have desktop PCs running 3rd generation i5's/8gb ram/7200 rpm drives that will sign into your desktop from the login screen in about 20 seconds that are applying adequate security policies. 15+ minutes is broken and is your IT team/upper managements' fault, not windows.
Classic consoles originally output 240p, so it gets the output of the pi looking extremely close to the actual console output. Also gets rid of flickering from an interlaced resolution. It's kind of impressive how much better 240p looks.
Why yes it can actually: https://github.com/raspberrypi.... It works really well for snes and nes emulation but you have to tweak settings a bit in the retroarch config to get it pixel perfect. I'm really enjoying 240p on my Trinitron CRT using the zune av cables. I've preordered a Retrotink-C hat for component output but the composite output is just fine if you're feeling nostalgic.
How about being stuck on a road in a snowstorm without communication? There are reasons why we shouldn't disable people's phones. I would argue for nagware - every hour, have a message pop up telling you there is a safety issue and asking you to return your phone to a Verizon store for a free replacement or something. Seems like a good balance between keeping devices safe and people losing critical communication.
I would argue (as someone who had the Note 7 and returned it over 1.5 months ago) that the time for minor annoyance popups is over. I think it should be more like you get a permanent popup that asks you to return the phone and that only the phone dialer & contacts app works on the phone so you aren't stranded. I get wanting to keep the Note 7 (best phone I ever owned other then the whole fire issue) but at this point you are putting others at risk because you don't want to give it up.
I recently was trying to work on a project for internal use at my company and we were using MySQL as the database for testing purposes. We started looking at the MySQL license and realized that we couldn't make heads or tails of it without getting legal involved. We then went to postgres because of licensing only. Might be cool if you passed on that the licensing for MySQL is getting too complicated and no one wants a legendary Oracle audit due to it.
I have pretty much missed this on a regular basis since it was discontinued. I own a Note 4 and can use the google search app but some times I want to be able to do it hands free and S Voice is way more awkward then Goog-411 was.
Speak for yourself. I run both Windows 8 and Windows 7 machines, and my Windows 7 machines are demonstrably more stable and less buggy than my Windows 8 one. (Note: I say one because I've had such a piss-poor experience with Windows 8, which rapidly degrades in performance to the point of near-unusability. And even straight out of the box with a fresh install, it likes to do things such as take multiple *minutes* before task manager appears on a core i5 machine with 8GB of RAM and 50% CPU utilization or less. There's no way I'm buying another machine with Windows 8, let alone installing it on one. If I could downgrade to Win7 without needing to pay for an OS when I already paid for Win8, I'd do it in a heartbeat. And no, Linux is not an option for people who need to use real software.)
Windows 8 is a total dog, and has been from the day it shipped, even before one takes into account the absolutely godawful UI.
Something is horribly wrong with your install. You either A) have a hardware fault somewhere on the workstation, B) have installed some kind of horrifically incompatible driver/software (windows XP-era, is that you?) or C) have managed to get a root kit/malware/adware/virus/trojan on your workstation. I have a ton of windows 8 machines in my house, everything from a surface pro to a hand built desktop to a gaming laptop and they are fast and have no visible glitches. all of my roommates are on 8 as well with no issues.
Healthy long lives are a result of the combination of active lifestyles, good diet and the ability to remove sickness with the least amount of permanent damage. You can eat a genetically pure diet with perfect amounts of nutrients and still end up getting skin cancer. Medicine should not be your first stop to trying to be healthy but at the same time, It's necessary.
You're right. NASA should totally fund an expedition to disprove the existence of the magical pink unicorn that many people have theorized lives on the dark side of the moon.
You're absolutely right. If NASA happens to be going around the dark side of the moon with a satellite and then fails to detect said magical pink unicorn beyond a reasonable doubt, then continuing to believe it is ridiculous. Remember that it wasn't so long ago that everyone "knew" the world was flat and you were a whackjob if you believed any differently.
what android phone are you using? did you get a cut rate device from someone like pantech or are we talking flagship class device? the problem with android is everything from a toaster to a desktop pc can run android so you can have a poor user experience because they try to get all of the features to work on a piece of junk
It's the difference between running super low wattage ARM tablet processors and desktop class processors with better power management. You don't see iPads running crysis 3 natively yet, so why is it surprising that the much faster processor take more juice?
possibly, I believe it would be better to spend the money on something that we can all dream about instead of F-35s or doomsday devices. There may not be a habitable earth left by the time we have superlight technologies.
They're going to be stuck in the same position that Palm was only 3 years further down the line in technology. QNX is pretty slick but they're going to have to encourage (bribe) developers and keep pushing the way Microsoft has with Windows Phone if they want to have a prayer... Every day they wait on hardware is a slightly smaller chance of any kind of success.
How does one make money with a mint-diverting banshee?
put it in front of a girl scout troop selling thin mint cookies. Banshee steals cookies as people buy them and offer to return the cookies to them for a fee:-P
it's not religion or faith that's an issue. It's a totally corrupt regime who's been in power quite a while and is trying to implement sharia law for their own personal benefit. if this law goes into effect, it will cause the entire countries IT infrastructure to start slowly imploding. Who wants to paint a gigantic red bullseye on their back?
Issues like this are the reason you need to fully flesh out costs before flipping the switch on a large organization like this. almost every teacher I know has a smartphone of some kind and a lot of them are starting to get tablets. Why offer the service when you cannot fully offer it?
I own an Evo View 4G (basically a sprint version of the HTC Flyer) and it is amazing for notes and drawing. it feels solid in your hand and has very little creak (if any) it connects to Evernote natively in its note taking app and works well. the 7" tablet is big enough to be useful without being so large as to get in the way on small lecture hall desks and an otterbox defender case is coming out that will allow you to use it as an easel.
My girlfriend is Double D cert' and I just pay her to sit at home.
She doesn't even have a college education, I would be amazed if she even has a GED.
Soon as I find out where she got the DD's I'll let you know.

It looks like we are even at this point :)

Agreed. will never use it 100% because of the developers conduct on /.
Why didn't you just use the windows media creation tool and skip all of that work? http://windows.microsoft.com/e...

If you're going to steal IP from a company, uh... maybe... just maybe... you shouldn't use their cloud service to get and transfer the goods?
The point being two moral wrongs make a right?
