The establishment has to answer the many complaints from the taxi unions despite (in France at least) one of the crapiest service in the world. Less working taxi leads to unemployment. And, to be fair, the requirements to become a taxi - would such requirement be relevant in the first place - are extremely heavy. All of a sudden Uber blooms everywhere and offers a service which is, actually, illegal in many countries. I'm glad Uber comes to balance the taxis monopoly, but all the aggressive and legal reactions against it were predictable.
Why? More expensive. DNS changes (new subdomains records, not updates, ie no cache interference) take ages to be taken into account. Their DNS sucks (once, their 3 servers were down at the same time!) and is slow. Seriously. Why? Namecheap updates their DNS tables instantly, is faster, is cheaper.
First, determine what are your needs exactly. Domain rental + DNS hosting? + web hosting? + mail hosting? You usually need domain rental (obviously) and DNS hosting (convenient to setup specific subdomains, have the mail handled by google, etc... and the major ones all offer DNS hosting for free (and a few emails). And if you need web hosting, a separate offer will not be much of a hassle - just setup of one or two IP addresses in your DNS - but could be more expensive.
Once you know what are the needs, check the various offers, check the reviews (from independent sites) and take the cheapest. Some people keep this wrong belief in mind that if you pay more you'll get more, more reliability etc... That may be true for other things. Not for domain hosting.
1and1.com is $0.99 for the first year for a.com, then it's a yearly $14.99. So why the hassle of having to migrate to another registrar after one year? $14.99 is expensive.
Tried a few and basically among the serious ones you get the same services for a different price. So I chose the cheaper, namecheap.com, and have been happy since.
Speakers of the two languages put different emphasis on actions and their consequences
The important part here is how it is understood. A native English speaker who is also fluent in German will catch intonation and emphasis differences, and may conclude that the Germans don't express the same way an American does. But how a native German understands the same phrase will remain a complete (unknown) mistery for the native English speaker. Often the problem is the translation - even sometimes in professional translations, in books for instance. The difficulty being to find out how "sticky" must be the translation of a phrase from A to B. Basically - and very few if any people can - an interpreter has to go deep into his/her feelings to transcribe not a text, but a raw feeling.
Could they have picked a worse name? "Windows Hello" reminds me of all the awkward conversations I had with nontechnical Windows users about their "My Documents" folder. "Open My Documents." "Your documents?" "No, your My Documents." "My your documents?" "NO!..."
Microsoft Cortana is an intelligent personal assistant developed by Microsoft for Windows Phone 8.1,[2] Microsoft Band,[3][4] and Windows 10.[5]
It is named after Cortana, an artificial intelligence character in Microsoft's Halo video game series, with Jen Taylor, the character's voice actress, returning to voice the personal assistant's US-specific version.[6]
Cortana was demonstrated for the first time at the Microsoft BUILD Developer Conference (April 2–4, 2014) in San Francisco.[1] It has been launched as a key ingredient of Microsoft's planned "makeover" of the future operating systems for Windows Phone and Windows.[2] As of 2015, Cortana is available as a beta to all users of Windows Phone 8.1 in the United States (US English), China (Mandarin Chinese), and the United Kingdom (UK English). Users in certain countries can also choose to opt-in to the alpha for the English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish versions of Cortana as of August 2014.[7]
Microsoft expects Cortana to be available globally by early 2015.
Slashdot Mirror
The only software that crashed on it was MS Office.
I second that choice : a Macbook Pro.

Easy. Do you have a mirror?
Ubuntu has been doing that since the beginning - free upgrade from any version to any version! Even for the pirated ones!
Does win 97 in a VirtualBox qualify as well?
Didn't know slashdot is capable of printing ß's (not that I know how to use that character!)
Avoid them like the plague.
Usually their pricing is enough to scare away most of the normal human beings.

That's fine. Windows Hello is for the same users.
Apple Pay is for stupid people.
and comments like yours make /. for stupid people too.

Feeling better?
I use more than one tool to accomplish my task (Google, Bing, and Yahoo plus a few obscure search engines for specialized searches)
Bing is used for one thing, its porn videos.
Just do that and go directly to Stockholm (Sweden) to immediately receive a Nobel prize.
Seemingly I have a job you have no idea of ... ;-)
I bought a Shuttle barebones Pentium 4 with a heat pipe, hoping that it would be as quiet as the Mac Minis of the time. It was disappointing.
So I'm inclined to ask, what's the Mac Minis secret to be so silent?
