I could have written it better. But yes my point is benchmarking a thing tells you nothing. Benchmarking multiple things and rolling them into one result tells even less.
2001 is a prime example of a movie that doesn't age well.
Your complaints about 2001 have nothing to do with how the movie aged. Those same complaints existed from the beginning and that hasn't changed. The movie itself has aged exceptionally well. It still has the same impact now as it did when it was released. And it is equally polarizing.
I agree with you by the way. It bored me to tears and I only finished watching it because I was sick and had nothing better to do. But that has nothing to do with how it aged.
According to Allah you're worshiping a false god and will rot in hell for it. Jesus can't save you from that. You will spend eternity in the hell of my religion.
but properly rotated backups (in my case daily, weekly, monthly and yearly) limit any potential impact, for Linux or any other kind of server.
Can we get a "Here! Here!" in here!
I always like to point to two examples of Wannacry which happened in the largest port of Europe: DHL: Got hit by Wannacry: Completely ceased all delivery operations. The entire business went down for 3 days. Warehouses filled with undelivered packages. Port of Rotterdam: Got hit by Wannacry: Picked up pen and paper and kept on processing containers at the same rate as before. IT in the background recovered and spent a bit of money on importing the paper trail back into the electrical systems, customers didn't even notice.
What you run rarely at all matters compared to how you run it.
Likewise. Who here cares about your rights. We're busy having a technical discussion based on the absurdity of your value equation.
You can't choose to spend nor to waste anything of mine.
Personally I think I'm doing a pretty damn good job all the while pointing out the absurdity of your little protectionism.
You don't know my value equations
Based on your initial post we know that you come up with them by throwing a 12 sided die composed of entirely imaginary numbers. I hope that your browser didn't cache this post on your drive, or I may have just used up it's life expectancy.
No actual fucking involved. You simply extended my reply on an already originally absurd premise to the next level. This entire thread is stupid right back to the original Ask Slashdot submission.
Okay let me rephrase: If you're worried about your drive life then you should get a clue about drive reliability. If you're worried about power consumption: Why are you reading this! You should be doing something valuable with your power like researching drive reliability.
This feature in chrome would cost me major money, in terms of the life of my storage drives -- both HDD and SSD -- as well as the electrical expense, and the fan noise.
If this was actually a real concern than you wouldn't waste your valuable electricity posting on Slashdot. Seriously a virus scan causing problems shorting your disk life? Get a hold of yourself man. Snap out of it.
Why the f*ck is my web browser trying to be a virus checker?
Because the web is the single largest avenue for viruses to enter the system.
The better question would be why the fuck not! It would be far more useful if virus checkers only monitored entry points on a system rather than performing a frigging crippling weekly scan > Mcafee on my work machine I'm looking at you, you're making my CPU fan spin.
Cool story. Tells me nothing. How fast will it encode video? How fast will it run a game? How fast will it crunch an excel table? How fast will it calculated digits of Pi?
There is no single benchmark that can answer what CPU or GPU you should buy without knowing WHY a person is buying it.
And this is kind of the problem. The goalposts for performance move constantly so it's best to force users to research.
However they want because the question is missing an obvious gotchya: Unless you're building a high performance special purpose system most people couldn't give a crap and in general purposes their choice of CPU or GPU has very little effect on the system performance, so they'll go cheap.

You're either living in a bubble as to how your country works, or you're actually in a horrible shit hole of a country worse than other countries your president refers to as shit hole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

*Well not you specifically, your country has a problem, but you really should know about this problem.
They were late with it. The once leading release cycle of Mac shifted to being behind the PC, and then finally on par with it. At least until the Cocoa transition where two whole releases didn't get 64bit support on Mac.
That's pretty humorous considering how many high-level creative and technical professionals use macs.
I would be laughing if that comment wasn't something from back in 2000. Mac used to be *the* platform for creative professionals. Now it's just another choice and often not even a first one. There was a mass exodus during both previous transitions, the bigger one being the Cocoa one because of performance reasons that took several years to resolve.
Right because this was SO SUDDEN a change, in that it's many years from now and
This change is has just been announced on a far more "sudden" timeframe than all the previous ones.
Apple last changed platforms over ten years ago...
Architecture yes, APIs no. Apple has fucked with developers a few times in the past 10 years.
I'd say you're cherry picking history to help your argument, but even the bits you cherry picked are good examples of how badly things go when changes like this are introduced.
When I hear of someone working in those fields, I asked what platforms they use and I'm hearing more say PC whereas the answer used to be exclusively a "Mac".
And there was a good reason for this. Apple forced an API change when transitioning to 64bit which pissed off developers. Adobe missed several 64bit versions of CS on the Mac. What good is an awesome Mac if the only platform that lets you use your hardware is the PC. Many people I know including myself moved to PC during that time.
Creative industries is one of the areas where performance matters, and during that transition period performance was really kneecapped on the Mac as far as many software applications go.
Right, because Adobe would never develop software to run on Apple's processors [adobe.com].
That's no great success. Adobe *used* to favour Apple's platforms first and Windows would get a delayed release. Not only is that no longer the case, but in the big shift to 64bit, Apple's insistence on an API change meant several versions of Photoshop CS products never saw a 64bit release on Mac. This saw a huge rise in PC use for content creation, because who would use the awesome power of a Mac if you can't even open a decently sized photo or video on it anymore.
Now Mac finally caught up with a 64bit release 2 versions later, but just what do you think the few remaining content creators would do when suddenly faced with under-performing ARM chips to do real work, and more importantly what do you think Adobe would do when faced with a platform without any serious users?

We all know gun control isn't the answer. Thoughts and prayers are!
Because of thoughts and prayers!
Given their previous microcode rollouts I think we can all collectively sigh with relief.

Why is this marked as Troll? How about link aggregators stop pushing traffic to sites hostile towards their readers.

Something that is easily solved by requiring copyright to only exist in one country, kind of like real laws.
What the actual fuck.

It was intended to stop the Windows Store in it's tracks.
In that it was quite succesful.
Successful? I would say pointless. Windows Store was always going to be a shithouse disaster without the need for anyone else's help.

They can hire me as a chef, but in between my cooking duties I'll rifle through everybody's office looking for dangerous things.
To extend that analogy the chef is also the only one who routinely brings big knives in through security.
What I'm saying is, scanning for malware by the vector which is most likely to introduce it to the system actually makes sense.
pretty sure Google made the same assurances when they first started scanning everything in your Gmail account
You have a rosy view of history. Google has pretty much said "all your data are belong to us" from the beginning of Gmail.

And, if they have found any, have they let the user know about it or have they just quietly deleted it?
If Google Chrome started randomly deleting people's Documents, we'd know about it.
due to being default
Sticking with a default when free alternatives are available *IS* a choice.
