Is there some reason that they can't say women's skirts??
Is there a reason you specifically are suggesting that non-women don't wear skirts? Person's skirts is not only politically correct, it's also pretty damn accurate given what pictures are available on the internet.
So is oxygen. We're just good at living with just the right amount of it. Breath pure O2 for several hours straight will render you blind, unable to go back to breahing normal air, followed by nervous system shutdown and then death.
That's a nice conspiracy but reality is far more practical. What is the market? And who are your competitors? Firstly every damn TV acts as it's own DNLA endpoint these days. For those that don't Chromecast is incredibly cheap and so is a fireTV and the countless of devices that act as a wireless device as well as an endpoint renderer.
Chromecast isn't popular because it's approved by some mythical God, is popular because it's cheap and it works for nearly everyone. You're delusional if you think Google share viewing data with anyone other than Google. The reason it has no competitors is that no one in their right mind would try and compete with a device that cheap, in market where they are sold as a loss leader by entertainment providers and where DNLA and Miracast are already supported by every man and their dog. There's no reason to do this via USB dongles.
Microsoft put the check in place for compatibility reasons. Yet they have clearly said in the article and the original announcement that the reason they are dropping this flag is because their vendors did exactly what the registry key was designed to do: Get vendors to update their software or admit they are leaving users at risk.
Vendors chose to update their software, registry key is now superfluous. That a backtrack doesn't make.
and well, all other OS users ever been so glad as not to be a part of the Mother of All Cluster Fucks that is Windows.
Not sure what windows has to do with anything. Are you glad because you're in the minority of no interest and don't run anti-virus software, or are you glad that kernel updates would break your software and no attempt is made to keep your software working after an update?
The last time this shit was posted, we established that the prerequisites for those "vulnerabilities" were ridiculous, requiring *at least* admin access
All of which has nothing to do with TFA or TFS which is all about how perception can affect stock market changes. Take a breath, read the summary, participate in intellectual conversations and wipe the froth from your mouth.
Which one? There's about a million models, all with pros and cons. You see anytime anyone says something is better than something else without asking details about the application for a device this versatile they are instantly wrong.
That is the difference between Real Linux Users (who CHOOSE whether to wait or not, and who understand that their decision is a CHOICE) and those who have learnt about the package dependency hell and upgrade problems caused by self compiling large and critical packages within the distribution.
Cool link bro, doesn't say anything about computers rebooting randomly while typing for anything other than "admins" who can't figure out the reboot settings. Guess what, the forced windows updates (of which I received one) still prompt you to reboot to install updates.
And apparently that doesn't work because as I was typing that, the machine rebooted on me, and installed updates.
That means you're not qualified to make any comments on Windows at all since that is a simple setting you are in control of and is actually obeyed just fine.
Assuming "fucked" means it's harmful in some meaningful way beyond the complainant not liking it... My first reaction is it's childish, not "fucked".
What specifically happened and the way words were changed is indeed childish. But the fact that it happened, and the fact that the person did it in the first place is truly fucked even by your definition.
I like touching young boys
You're a horrible person for saying that and you deserve the hell that is coming your way. And I hope you see what I did there.
So, after you destroyed business privacy by embracing the open-floor plan, your answer is to build obscenely priced closets?
Well yes. I'm not sure why you think that sounds strange. The companies where the open floor plan concept have failed are the same which don't provide private areas for situations that need it. Are you surprised that the optimum solution is a balance?
We need to dress up the images of humans with huge pointy teeth, porcupine spikes, eagle claws and a nasty Stegosaurus tail.
Given what our general view is on how aliens look in the media, I'm not sure if you're going with "Not tasty" as much as "major turn-on". Do you want to be probed? Because this is how you get probed!
No you're now conflating two different issues. The outcome and the handle. You didn't mention what to do with daylight savings in the post I replied to, you only mentioned that you think it makes more sense trying to convince a very large group of people to change something often in ways that society makes incompatible with another group, instead of say moving the thing that is common to them.
I didn't say the outcome made sense. I said the handle makes sense. The outcome, well, that depends on how you implement democracy. As for asking everyone to pick their own time, that's how you implement anarchy. I need to go to the bank. Can I go to the bank? Fuck knows, depends if the teller prefers sunlight or not.

A chrome what? My 5 year old Samsung acts as a wireless DNLA receiver just fine no additional device required on either the laptop or the TV
Permitting the OS kernel to be patched by third parties,
I don't think you understand what is happening here.

You know that warranty clause in software
Nope, I'm not autistic, I don't read software EULA clauses.

Hahhahaha, Australian here and daily cyclist commuter, your complaints make me laugh, harden up.

FTFY.
I'll wait for something stable thanks.
can i run windows 95 on it?
yes
What you're building a $35 file server and expecting commercial level performance or something?
Cool link bro, doesn't say anything about computers rebooting randomly while typing for anything other than "admins" who can't figure out the reboot settings. Guess what, the forced windows updates (of which I received one) still prompt you to reboot to install updates.
couldn't use 1709 because for some reason it broke about a third of my installed apps
*cough*bullshit*cough*
Sorry. Hay-fever.
And apparently that doesn't work because as I was typing that, the machine rebooted on me, and installed updates.
That means you're not qualified to make any comments on Windows at all since that is a simple setting you are in control of and is actually obeyed just fine.
I have no fucking clue why they installed those crappy Internet-of-shit operating systems in there by default in the first place.
Then you should start by reading the manual and going over the years of history of what bulk customers have been asking for.

I can't imagine why any of this information should ever be given to a damned website.
So what you're saying is you lack imagination?

Well yes. I'm not sure why you think that sounds strange. The companies where the open floor plan concept have failed are the same which don't provide private areas for situations that need it. Are you surprised that the optimum solution is a balance?
Why not show a picture of a monkey then?
Really what we should be showing is the most likely form of first contact.
We need to dress up the images of humans with huge pointy teeth, porcupine spikes, eagle claws and a nasty Stegosaurus tail.

If the asians were just a tiny intelligent, they would do whatever they could to REDUCE their numbers
Actually if they were intelligent they would reduce YOUR numbers given you could sustain two of them for the resource consumption of one of you.
