This reminds me of the old grammar exercise "Woman without her man is lost," the meaning of which changes dramatically based on punctuation. E.g., "Woman! Without her, man is lost." or "Woman, without her man, is lost."
Since the "majority" has not a faint idea what hacking is, or was, i refuse letting them assign new meaning to words they dojn't understand.
IOW your argument is stupid.
Connotations change and denotations follow. Get over it.
The important point is that the law says you are not allowed to see it on YouTube. Its a right that you had yesterday that you do not have today. Part of the massive, slow and irreversible erosion of our rights.
but you miss the point - the unix shell works, and still works today. So why try to break it by changing it in the name of "progress".
Powershell is an abomination that makes WMI look good (which is it BTW, it doesn't look pretty though). But hey, Microsoft likes changing things for changes sake,. Maybe one day they'll mature.
PowerShell may not be perfect but, oh my goodness, is it better than anything Windows has ever had before. It is a good thing specifically because Microsoft wiped the slate and started over with a unified shell environment. It's object-oriented, discoverable, and has really awesome remoting built in.
If you really prefer WMI over PS, I have my doubts as to whether you've tried to use either for much. Oh, and by the way, you can access WMI through PS.
Stack Ranking only works on a short term basis where you want to trim the fat.
If you do it for too long, two things happen (a) you start cutting into good performers (b) people will not collaborate to make others look good
What Adobe's talking about shouldn't be revolutionary. They're just formalizing good management technique. I'm fortunate to have a great manager that already provides and accepts this kind of ongoing, timely feedback. That we have to also do the annual, stack-ranked review process is, well, unfortunate.
It has better spam filtering than gmail, and ten years ago, when I started using it, way better than hotmail. Also, it was a great place to play chess.
We'll never be satisfied. We're freaking technophiles who always want more neat technology crammed into everything. You're just in denial about it.
I'm ambivalent. On the one hand, I think you're dead wrong: Once there is a decent baseline VR headset, it will be a wild west of experimentation and creativity on the software front. We don't know what kinds of experiences we want better headsets for because the point of reference doesn't exist. The sky is the limit. Actually, the sky sounds trivial to overcome in VR.
On the other hand, I'm a little bit worried about people isolating themselves from the real world even more than they already do. I have a wife and kid (soon to be two). When I'm 70, I'm not going to wish I had only played more games at this point in life. Side Note: I loved Ready Player One, but think Ernest Cline never really wrestled with the implications of everyone withdrawing from the physical world. The film Inception does a much better job of tackling these issues.
My dad bought it off my uncle, who apparently had buyer's remorse. They keyboard must have been the revision, because I don't remember any issues with it. Then again, I was about five, so what did I know?
I learned to spell playing King's Quest I, which is still fond in my memories. My mom wrote down a list of the words I would need to interact with the (frankly, pathetic) parser in the game, and left it to me to remember and figure out which word was which and how to use them. We bought several other games, but the only other star among them was Jumpman.
No, they pick up a fossil and say "this must be the sole explanation that does not rely on introducing multiple additional non-testable hypotheses"
I'd like to see the tests for leading hypotheses on the origins of life. Not a toxic pool of amino acids, but life. If you're only going to teach what you can test, there's a lot that shouldn't have been in my biology book.
I will be sure to tell the auditors that when they ask how the cleaning staff found out the contents of our quarterly report a week before it was released.
"But I turned off the monitor before I left the buliding! And sprinkled lemon juice on my keyboard! There is NO WAY that anybody could have intercepted that information."
If you can afford a cleaning staff you can afford to pay for VPN. I was thinking of the home or home office.
Important note - Chrome Remote Desktop works by default as a screen scraper, so that anyone physically near the computer you've remotely logged in to can see what you're doing on the monitor.
Just turn the monitor off before leaving the house/office.
I don't think may homes are going PC-less, they're simply realizing they probably only need one or two instead of four. Also, why is Apple excluded from these numbers? They sell PCs that happen to also run OSX in addition to other OSes.
I'm woking in a large university where you find a larger percentage of Mac and Linux systems. It's hell keeping all operating systems updated properly.
I never realized an operating system was required for proper stir-fry.
If you could move the rudder aft of the prop, you'd gain thrust vectoring. I'm not an engineer, but I'm guessing that would mean better low speed control, but it would be dependent on throttle? I'm sure it's designed the way it is for simplicity, but I'd love to tinker with this.

Not if you're deaf dumb and blind. It conveys visually information auditorily.

There's no right to view a video on the internet.
You missed the big one.

This depends greatly on the size of the boat.

If it was an electrical fire, it's still big news.

Just because you think all large companies are evil doesn't mean everyone else does.

Viva la Steam.

Discussions of racial issues anywhere by anyone always say more about the people making the comments than they do about the issues themselves.
Always.
Just ignore me. I see Apple failed to place worldwide, but shows up on the US numbers.
