If you can't solve a Fourier transform how am I supposed to have any confidence that you are able to arrange flowers in a wedding bouquet?
Or better still, if you are unable to separate skillsets logically or determine the difference between a typo and a fundamental inability to communicate a message, how am I supposed to have any confidence that you have functioning grey matter in your brain at all?
Maybe Russia and China should ban Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Intel, etc., because "Their source of truth is that those companies are bad due to involvement with USA, which in itself can be considered obvious and given the ties to USA also be considered self evident."
You mean like the Chinese 863 Program? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... which among other things lincluded source code review from Windows? Or Russia blocking western services, and their current plan to deploy their own root servers, or their blocking of several of Microsoft's products?
I'm not sure what is so startling here for you. Intelligence agencies have informed their governments of a threat and the governments have acted on it appropriately. Now the fact that the intelligence agencies' recommendations lie somewhere between wrong and malicious is a completely different story.
Oh, there's proof?
Good idea we should check for proof. Who does the government trust to look for proof? How about it's own agencies and those of its allies? It's not paranoia to act on the advice of the very agency you set up to give advice.
Again you're pissed here at the FBI, the AIVD, and the GCHQ, not at the governments of the USA or the EU.
Not everything is meaningful right until it is. That's the problem with defining precisely that is meaningful on a 3D model, you will ALWAYS want more information. I have plenty of cases where we would have saved some significant project time and money: power sockets, not normally shown on 3D models. I have plenty of cases where we actually ended up with massive construction rework: cable trays not being in piping drawings, valves shown without stems only to find they didn't fit in an orientation that was useful. I even have a case that cost us well over $5m: Instruments connections shown, but not instruments themselves or the tubing connecting them leading to construction crews to put them on separate platforms leading to performance issues which shutdown the plant.
As for noise. There's no such thing as noise when you're trying to fit things into a model. There's only detail. If your drafters can afford to draft it, and your model is capable of running it than absolutely any solid object should end up in the model. Hell the best thing we ever did was get a point cloud laser scan of a site I worked at complete with incredibly high resolution 360degree photos from every point source. The amount of money saved by us continuously advancing our model and us being able to see pretty much what was actually on site through the point cloud paid for itself in folds.
I'm not sure what you mean by those words: "will become". Did you make this post in November but the packets got misrouted by Comcast and only just now hit Slashdot's servers?
No you were being a troll by ignoring the fact that this isn't an EU issue as much as it is currently very much a global issues lead in part by people who are also completely anti-EU, and others who are actively trying to leave.
What is the EU supposed to do? It's law makers are at the whim of advice from federal agencies, the agencies around the world they most heavily look to have a campaign against Kaspersky. Their source of truth is that Kaspersky is bad due to involvement with Russia, which in itself can be considered obvious and given the ties to Russia also be considered self evident.
This is nothing more than informed decision making by politicians. Whether or not the information they are basing their decision on is right, that is a different question, but in terms of governing it's the exact opposite of going mad. Going mad would be to ignore everyone and do things your own way, declaring global warming a Chinese hoax, etc.
Huh? Most trucks aren't allowed on normal roads. They leave the warehouse and drive on the highway where the exit will take them right to the next warehouse. That's kind of why warehouses aren't actually positioned in city centres in the first place.
and deal with the vagaries of other road users.
See above: The other road users will be mostly trucks. The last mile problem for trucks is typically more accurately described as the last 200 yards. GP's point is that it's order of magnitudes easier to do this with a truck and they're right.
Even if they aren't all self-driving there's already been demonstrated examples where trucks have gotten from A to B without human intervention thanks to platooning. Just because a human driver still needs to be involved in one vehicle doesn't mean several others can't be autonomous behind them.
The point you are glossing over is that displays are going to have multiple inputs like HDMI and DP
Yep just like my printer with it's non-existent parallel port. Speaking of, I can't currently plug my own display into my laptop without a dongle thanks to it's multiple inputs not being compatible with the outputs on my laptop. So thanks.
You are somehow arguing that there will be laptops without any way of driving an external display, which is retarded.
Errr, no there's actually laptops on the market right now. Or have you not been paying attention to product releases by the fruity majors? But I'm sure you prefer to dongle the dongle dongle to solve all your problems. What a retarded time to be alive.
If a casual user is even aware of the possibility of driving a display with a USB-C port, he might assume any USB-C port will be capable of doing so
Finally you understood my point.
see a laptop that has both micro-HDMI and USB-C
Why would naturally assume they have both? There are laptops on the market right now which don't. Better still there are laptops on the market right now which do, only to have the micro-HDMI or other ports gimped (like mine)
There's probably a good reason why your friends never ask you these things.
Yep, it's called human nature where people don't go out and ask questions they don't know they have about things they didn't know were a problem. Kind of like USB not being as Universal as thought.
Melodrama
Not so much melodrama, as much as : The whole fucking point. But hey, it's such a non-issue that it was posted and being discussed on Slashdot.
But, clearly, you couldn't answer my original question, so that leaves cash or a check as the options.
Check, bank transfer, payment services, online portals, after the fact credit transactions, it's like you've never done business with someone before. Transferring money after the fact is simple, and it is in fact how most businesses operate when not typing little numbers into a cash machine for someone standing directly in front of them, or do you think the coke man stocks up the fridge and then takes $200 in cash back to his mothership?
I didn't answer your question because I didn't think you were serious when you asked it.
Windows 7 deals fine with a swap to identical hardware/mobo
Nope, your specific scenario luckily worked for you. Most windows installations (including the Windows 7 ones I've done myself) tend to nuke themselves.
I mostly use desktop Linux anyway, which doesn't whine about a hardware swap at all.
And you wonder why you don't understand the hardware desires of the common man.
it has the value of the drugs it's being used to buy and money laundering done with it.
No it doesn't because the prices of those drugs got adjusted with varying values of bitcoin. That's precisely the problem, the only thing bitcoin was pegged to was the value of traditional currencies against which it was traded.
I think after renting a game for 15 years I got enough value out of it not to care. Which is incidentally how a lot of the general public approach anything RMS says, not with a gasp, but with a yawn.
Nope, they can pay for the own computers. Just because you bought something at some point does not give you a right to use it at the detriment of others. e.g. like old clunker cars that don't meet emission requirements of cities.
You had imagination? I just work at Microsoft and re-create ideas from the past in less efficient ways necessitating the need for an ever increasing amount of hardware.
On a 17 inch laptop, the difference between 1080HD and 4K is immediately visible.
That isn't exactly a good metric. On my desktop with it's 1920x1080 monitor the difference between 1080p and 4K video is also immediately visible. Many thanks to the subcoding schemes used in compression for every the highest quality of video the difference is visible.
How well does it do on games? Framerate aside you need a metric that doesn't rely on fancy compression to tell the difference on displays. I'm not saying there isn't a difference, just that video isn't a good metric to use to judge.
Sounds to me like the CAD and modeling people need to optimize their shit.
They have. The optimum solution is for every tiny detail to exist in CAD. Just because we didn't have the capability to achieve this in the past doesn't mean it was more "optimal".
What should be done, and curiously enough isn't, is to apply the law and forbid the sales of non emission-compliant cars.
Err did you miss the bit about how the VWs sold now had significantly down rated specs than the same model sold only a few years earlier?
Instead they give a fine. Great.
Yeah that's all they did. All of it. Nothing else what so ever. Certainly the Germans aren't currently prosecuting several of the managers at the time./sarcasm Oh no wait, I have more sarcasm: Certainly they didn't force the company to spend $2bn on electric car R&D the results of which have already born some fruit./sarcasm... one more for good measure: Certainly there aren't several ongoing court cases which could end up costing VW more than $30bn by the time they are finished./sarcasm
Microsoft is not in the business of data mining. Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, all ISP's, and all credit card companies are. You don't know what you're talking about.
So what you're saying is they have no incentive to protect the data they gather from other prying eyes?

Congratulations. I drove a car on a beach therefore all cars should need to be able to drive on a beach to be roadworthy right?
Oh your one of them peoples who'se more concerned, with typose than having a discussion?
Kinda difficult to pay for gas out of town, as my original question mentioned, and get the proprietor to allow you to go get a bank transfer.
It's called business continuity plan. Have one.
I'm out.
Ciao.
Talk is cheap.
Actually talk is worth $15000 a pop in this case.
The way things are going, Kaspersky will become
