  1. What is going on here? on Opera Developer Comes With Address Bar Speculative Prerenderer Feature (opera.com) · · Score: 1

    Is this the Opera development news feed now?

    Why is Opera getting so much press lately? Did they hire a PR guy or something?

    Good to see yet another example of the law working out well for those with money.

    It's an acquired taste for sure. But I really enjoyed it. Still haven't seen the latest season though because you have to pay for it still (actually, this may have changed now. I haven't checked in a few months).

  14. If there isn't a free streaming option, most people will either (a) Pay, (b) wait for Netflix or whatever, (c) make appointment to watch live or use DVR, or (d) decide they don't want to pay and don't watch. Probably in that order.\

    My order is b > a (unless it is too expensive) > e (redbox) > d

    too expensive = forcing you to BUY the movie instead of allowing rental.... newp not gonna do it.

    Also, I can count on my right hand how many TV shows I would be willing to shell out for a season pass... that is like 3 months worth of streaming right there...

  15. Why is it always "at 11"? That is way too late to start into a film...

  17. Re:This should be entertaining on Microsoft Says Summer's Windows 10 Upgrade Fit For Business (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Like I said, it's was a limited experiment. We actually use Windows 7 Pro generally, but since Microsoft has decided to take away fundamental controls from every edition lower than Windows 10 Enterprise, I refused to experiment with anything lower.

    But even if we had been using WSUS, what would that have helped? The Aniv Update would have still hosed the machines, no?

    No, as this very article is explaining, they only JUST released 1607 (anniversary update) into the WSUS channel.

    Up until now (or next patch Tuesday), 1607 has not bee in WSUS. If you wanted to deploy it, you had to grab it manually and deploy it.

    Even if it was in there, with WSUS, you simply put the test laptops into a different rollout group and don't approve the update for that group.

    That's all well and good, but where are the constant "why you being so aggressive, bro?" evasive maneuvers when it is a man doing the interviewing?

    They aren't there because we expect men to be aggressive. When women are even half as aggressive we call them shrill or bitchy and try to belittle them by attacking traits which are uniquely (perceived and physiological) female.
