Right, and OEMs are not allowed to sell machines with Windows 10 Enterprise. So companies have to license enterprise at it's full retail price, which is about 500 dollars a unit. This puts Enterprise outside the price range for most small/medium businesses.
Microsoft is essentially doubling down on an already dangerous precident: You either buy Microsoft's ridiculously inflated prices for the Enterprise version, or you allow Microsoft to dictate how you deploy and manage your computers. First with the telemetry, and now with the app store.
What's the quote? "I have altered our agreement. Pray I do not alter it any further."
As a sysadmin, the computers under my care are MY responsibility. That means *I* control what happens to them, and I will not be forced to almost double our upgrade costs just to satisfy Satya Nadella's "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine" freak fetish.
We've experimented with a couple of machines running Windows 10, but at this point it's become painfully clear that I will never upgrade our machines to Windows 10 because Microsoft has has demonstrated that despite all their hand wavy "I got better!" bullshit, they're still just as monopolistic and ruthless as ever.
This is fantastic news. This will presumably mean they'll stop their asshat nagware campaign, cause they can't have it both ways. If they don't, I bet there will be a sudden spike in popcorn sales as people sit back to watch the fireworks.
Is someone using an automated script or something to post these? I can't believe someone would be so bored as to manually write this comment in every single article.
You then suggested "Fish" at the end of your post, clearly implying some kind meat processing. If you were thinking of vegetable matter, you made no effort to indicate such.
And yes, I did answer the question, because literally ANY source that can be cultivated or manufactured, can be a source of proteins and amino acids. The possibilities are limited only by imagination and production costs.
Algae pools. Recycled plant material. Heck, it's already been demonstrated that in the correct environmental conditions, amino acids will self-assemble all on their own. If you really want specific and explicit details, you should do your own research instead of demanding others do it for you.
How do you think current herbivores and vegans live and grow? There are a bajillion ways to get proteins and amino acids without grinding up existing meat.
The meat they're producing in the lab arn't just hot dogs ground up from animal leftovers. They are pieces of actual living tissue that is grown in chemical baths full of the exact nutrients needed for the tissue to grow.
Personally, I was hoping that they'd call it something more satisfyingly distopian, like "veat" (short for vat-meat). Cultured meat is too boring IMO.
I tried to use OpenIndiana. It hasn't been updated in a couple years, and won't even boot on machines with Haswell chipsets or newer.
I considered using OmniOS and SmartOS, but after having been bitten by bad problems with OpenIndiana, I basically gave up on the whole platform for being too high-risk and switched to FreeBSD (specifically FreeNAS) instead.
Oh! I managed to gloss right over that. That's an excellent point. I guess it says something when you see "someone sues someone else for a ridiculous amount of money" and just assume it's the USA.
Why not? Is there some stipulation that says only megacorps are allowed to sue for absurd amounts of money? If Sony can sue an individual for millions of dollars over a stupid song, then a photographer can sue a company for millions over a stupid photo.
Agreed. Wholeheartedly. I don't need a paper-thin phone. I need a phone that does the job. In the mean time, the iPhone SE at least a step in the right direction. Most of the same tech as the 5S, but with much newer and more power-efficient silicon, and they used the space they saved to include a slightly larger battery. (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/iphone-se-vs-iphone-5s/)
My usage pattern isn't particularly heavy, so take this with a grain of salt, but so far I am typically ending the day with ~80% battery life remaining, if not higher. This is with the usual "check facebook and play a couple rounds of while on the loo" kind of thing.
I'm afraid that this product is just an outlier, but here's hoping that sanity returns to the industry and companies start bringing out phones that are actually useful.
This was the right choice during the first generation of mobile net, when CPUs [central processing units] and the mobile network speeds were not fast enough," Jia said. "However now we're moving into the next era of mobile internet, these problems no longer exist.
..the fuck they don't, you brain-damaged buffoon. We still have massive limitations in battery. The only thing that's changed is that people are more tolerant of substandard crap because that's all they seem to be able to find, nowadays.
There's a reason I don't buy chinese crap unless I'm specifically looking for some cheap widget that, if it breaks, I don't care about.
Meanwhile, I went ahead and purchased a "low technology" iPhone SE. Why? Cause it's made with proven technology, it works, and it has a solid ecosystem.
I like having a phone where I don't have to cross my fingers, eyes, and toes before I pick it up, in case it decides to stop working for no apparent reason. No, it doesn't have the latest gee-whizbang features that lets me pay for my french fries by wiggling my left butt cheek in a counterclockwise direction, but you know what? That's fine. I'm sick of feature-itis at the expense of quality.
Hell, I would have bought a Nokia if only... well... you know.
They arn't trying to give kids opportunities. They want to saturate the market, at the taxpayers expense, so that they can pay bottom dollar for what amounts to digital Factory Workers.
They want quality developers, but they don't want to pay for them. Yet they keep trying to get it both ways, which is why all these H1B-sucking temp companies are doing so well.
People of science are far more likely to be using computers, and have far less patience for nonsense. Add a forced Win10 upgrade into the mix and... well...
I wouldn't say, smug. More like pity, that you were unable to enjoy the pleasures that zfs provide... such as being able to sleep more easily at night, knowing that random bits in your data weren't going to magically flip for no apparent reason, and with no way for you to verify.
Is this a fundamental problem with the packaging system, or because the package creator didn't set the appropriate options? Would it be solved by having snap have a default setting of untrusted?

You HAVE to listen to the dramatic readings... It's absolutely marvellous beyond words.
Just make sure you're in a place where it's ok to laugh so hard you lose bladder control.

I've always wanted a watch that demands I upgrade it to Windows 10 every time I look at it.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I choose to believe the best in people,
Well, there's your first mistake...
Oh! I guess it does. I stand corrected. I can't wait to go up to a cash register and start twerking!
You forgot to mention cows and mooing.
Is there at least decent integration between the pieces, so that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts?
If not, I can't fathom why anyone would be happy with such a thing.

What could possible go wrong?
It's not like they haven't coughed to actively and willfully screwing investors for their own gain. Oh wait...
Change the laws so that drivers are not liable if they hit a pedestrian when it's the drivers lawful right of way.
Didn't they establish that the most recent attacks were done using burner cell phones, and no encryption was involved at all?
People of science are far more likely to be using computers, and have far less patience for nonsense. Add a forced Win10 upgrade into the mix and... well...
Kim Jong is not yet delusional enough to not know this too.
