Take a MS Excel macro made on Windows, and run it in MS Excel on a Mac... The MS folks, instead of maintaining a unique version compilable on both platforms, did a fork, Windows<>Mac, maintained by different teams. Expect incompatibilities and the like, even different bugs on both platforms!
A lot of hardware support is added in a new kernel. That's why sometimes, simply installing or upgrading to a new kernel gets rid of a number of problems, or improve performance. No wrong in this.
Wine is a huge effort to get something windozy running on Linux. Didn't try MS Office, but judging how Wine struggles to get much simpler programs to run successfully, without tons of "cannot do this/that", or crashing, I seriously doubt it would work.
If MS released a linux version of office, I would switch to Linux as my main OS and just boot to windows when gaming.
This is one of the reasons MS is not likely to release an Office for Linux. Office is MS' milk cow. Many users stick to windows just to ensure there won't be any compatibility issue.
On Linux and Mac, Open/Libre office did an awesome job at fixing bugs and ergonomics the past couple of years. Plus, a growing number of administrations choose the open solution to save costs. Meaning, you'll have a growing number of people pushing to work with open/"standard" stuff (Complex Excel sheets are not compatible though). Google docs still stands way behind Libre/Open office.
As for most games, unfortunately, windows is still the usable only platform (Steam on Linux has a few games).
Sony was attacked a number of times these past years, and some of these attacks targeted easy flaws, like SQL injection for instance. Are these bank attacks as dumb as Sony ones?
Read it quickly, and did it again just now. Interesting and documented article, thank you. However sticking to the brain structure, understanding what we don't understand off of it, evaluating its complexity (keeping CS complexity in mind), and, in brief, summarizing why the brain is way above nowadays computers / algorithms (which structure depends deeply upon what the hardware is capable of doing/being programmed) capacities is saying - besides being a valuable observation - "we cannot copy the brain functioning [today]". And this is certainly correct.
But in a way this article proves my point: to achieve human IQ, some people will be interested in copying/mimicking the brain functioning - which is considered impossible today - and say: can't do. Some other people will be interested in achieving a high IQ through completely new different/innovative/revolutionary methods.
There are always clever people to teach us what we cannot do. Fortunately some even more clever and intuitive people find innovative and revolutionary ways to achieve what we were told is impossible to do.
Sounds like adding "secret", "confidential" , "undisclosed" to [insert story or device here] is the trendy way to get something reaching the largest public..
2020, when AI computers capable of real thoughts, with IQ greater than what humans can perform, start to appear. Then it won't take long for human beings to be completely overwhelmed.
It could be better to allow employees not to read a mail, outside work hours. Anyway the bill comes from politics, people who, for most of them in France, never worked in a company and have no clue how the enterprise world runs ; there are certainly abuses. but the bill seems to be too peremptory.
Probably not, but at this young age the mimicry behavior can spread quickly ; thus the authorities want to give a much more dramatic touch - murder-ish - to the turn of events to possibly prevent any new trendy behavior pattern.

My dear and only friend,
you should remember that the Ludovico Technique can be rollbacked!

is it finally time to give linux another chance?

Visit the SQL injection Hall of Fame and search "Sony"...

They put a microphone in my iPhone.
I suspect a bit of snobbishness in telling what the acronym GNU stands for ( "GNU is Not Unix" ).
That's not a very sophisticated argument
Agreed.
You probably didn't even read my link.

Use the Flashcontrol ext
This guy makes a very good argument why that won't happen by 2020.

FF is not that bad, please!
He's an AC on /. and, thus, is completely safe.
And sometimes Ross loses it totally and repeats "We were on a break!"
If something is an OS (mac os, windows, ...) that's Linux!
That's interesting, and close enough! I'm currently studying some IPv6 features!
Really didn't want to go there, but if it's for a good cause, bug hunting....
The real danger is mimicry, other young people doing the same "trendy" thing..
Probably not, but at this young age the mimicry behavior can spread quickly ; thus the authorities want to give a much more dramatic touch - murder-ish - to the turn of events to possibly prevent any new trendy behavior pattern.
256GB ... capable of storing more than 12 hours of 4K video footage, 33 hours of full HD recording, 55,200 photos or 23,500 MP3s
This is where you see it's an ad and not a regular story ; who on slashdot needs to be explained what is 256GB?
