I'm to the left of center I suppose. I don't think convicts should lose their right to vote. This is a Jim Crow law remainder. Don't let them people vote on that thing that put them in prison.
While the interface was unusable on a desktop it worked well enough on a phone.
I never understood the animosity to the Windows 8 start screen. What is the use case for the cramped start menu? You are doing one thing, you are looking to launch an application. Why constrain that function to a corner of the screen? One thing, full screen, maximum real estate given to do that one thing. I am not launching an app and also scanning my desktop for some other reason. I switched my Windows 10 back to full screen start.
As for the Windows Metro UI apps, they are still in Windows 10. I have no problems with those either. Cant resize it? Again, what is the use case. You can tile them on the screen. Dock them to the sides. Arrange them to see multiple apps at once. I don;t see the issue.
Unity uses over a quarter of the screen for the launcher, is someone bitching about that? Not as much, because it's "Linux" and we are used to it being schizophrenic in UI design. *SMH*
And yes, I own and use a Windows 10 phone as my primary communications device and it is better by design. I don't need your stinking 'droid apps:P
These companies don;t just do business in America. If the U.S. Government gets it, then other governments will likely follow suit. Blanket refusal is the only answer to protect global civil rights.
Unfortunately you are (not so eloquently) correct about a large portion of the homeless problem. It is mostly to do with self medicating persons with mental health issues. You can't force them into rehab or to take prescription medication since it is also a civil rights issue. And around and around we go...
1. The market ranking has exactly jack shit to do with how useful a product is. 2. The app ecosystem for Windows is sufficient for every day work. It has mail, calendar, browser, Cortana (if you care), texting, Skype, and phone. 3. See #2 4. See #2
And for your final comment, I call more bullshit. I have scrapped more Android hardware than I have Windows phone hardware. Many of my android devices stopped getting the latest updates due to either hardware limitations or vendors not shipping updates. My windows 8.1 phone I ditched a year ago after 2 years of use. My windows 10 phone I have had for over 1 year and still receive updates.
The Windows device is uncluttered, organized (by sane categories) and predictable. My experience with Android is that it is cluttered, unpredictable, unorganized and has an app ecosystem I have to filter through endlessly to find one decent app. My experience with Apple is far less, but my limited interaction has left me unimpressed.
Not written from my Windows 10 1709 phone, but from my Linux desktop running Google Chrome. So, go ahead and call me a MS fanboy.
Whenever I see "analysis" like this, I always question the matching criteria. Quite often it is naive and not validated.
If you use first name, last name and birth date you can produce THOUSANDS of _false_ matches. Throw in the address, maybe a few hundred. But then if the address is not correct on either side, you miss the match.
Problem 1: Why would you use the registry to find an app path? What happened to using the system environment path which is already secured? Registry. Pshhh!
Problem 2: Auto Elevation. Microsoft introduces UAC. People get annoyed with it. Microsoft introduces Auto Elevation. Guess what, still annoying and now possible security hole.
I am fine if Windows asks me to enter a user and password to elevate. It works on my *cough* Linux desktop. Annoying? Yes. Secure? More so. But really, how often does one use admin functions?
MS Enterprise Agreement Licensing is expensive and confusing.
An EA operating system license gets you unlimited upgrade rights for $80 per year per machine. This is unrealistic for government agencies who upgrade OS maybe once every 5 years. Also unlimited upgrade rights on Office for just $300 per year, also upgraded once every maybe 2 to 5 years.
The only benefit is yearly licensing can be budgeted. Where if you upgrade every 5 years, the money will not be in your budget.
Quantum computers are built for specific workloads. Citing this as potentially the worlds fastest computer is misleading. It more than likely will not be a general purpose computer.
Vandal: I do not think that word means what you think it means. He exposed a vulnerability and reported before going public. He in no way defaced or destroyed the website or data.
It is nice and all to keep me from spending $100 every 2-3 years on a new OS. But that's not where the money is. Active Directory and Client Access Licenses are the money makers. Too much money. When ReactOS performs in the server space, then my pants will get tight over the new version.
Problem: I have a crick in my neck from craning to see a single screen of any size in conference rooms, people turning the resolution down to 800x600 to get the fonts bigger for people in the back, and the constant projector focusing.
I want a solution using cheap (~$60) personal tablets that interconnect and share a single screen from a presentation PC. Yet I cannot find this that integrates well with Windows applications. 15 Chinese androids and one presenter laptop. Why is this so hard?
No, let's build on the broken model of everyone sharing a single huge expensive device.
The assumption in all this is that twitter is ISIS' command and control center. It's not. Any direction provided by twitter most likely requires confirmation and attendance in a training facility before deployment.
To discount an enemies intelligence is a fatal position to take.
Anonymous did the the best they could do. Embarrass them and make them look incompetent. Stone age treatment for stone age ideas.
Yeah, I tried that. Verizon prices their DVR at $20 per month rental (California). TiVo DVR = ~$99 plus $15 monthly fee (For what, I don't know) + $5 month CableCard from Verizon.
Coincidence that both = $20 per month? I think not.
Just cut the cord, buy an OTA DVR for $50 and subscribe to Netflix or Hulu for the rest. Sorry about Walking Dead, but you will be a season behind.

Word 2013+ has built-in export PDF (Save As). Word 2016 opens PDF files for editing. Albeit the editing part is not entirely 100%.

"The time to harden a lock isn't after it's sold."
A physical key is still allowed. At that point, you can't harden the lock through firmware updates. A physical key will always be a vulnerability.
So umm, just send out an email to all the voters telling them to reset their password???
... bring back vinyl and by BBS!!!
At least I know it won't be able to read my lips. You see, I speak American, not English.

"new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.Ancient.Bad.Idea')" I think I've seen this exploit before. SMH. It's time to kill ActiveX in the browser already.

It's the sound of inevitability. It's coming on/before the year 3000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Or just put up a sign: "Go solve your own problem, don't bother me!"
And when they make a rubbish solution, then it's your problem doubled.
Out of how many million? Raw numbers without context make for headlines in 99% of selected online publications.

My wife got her debt written off and we then had to claim the write off as income. So at least they will have to pay taxes on it :/
Who is walking by a bathroom to peek at weeners anyway? My guess it is someone who could walk in in the first place.
So no doors, just urinals in the hallways. Yes you will get the occasional weirdo who drops his pants to the floor, but, well... just butt.
