I should clarify, Sync is still the base platform, Touch is the touch interface on top of Sync. I have Touch in my Edge. I like it. I'm not fond of the touch system in my Subaru. I like the system that Jeep has in their new Cherokees(no idea if they're in other Jeeps, but it wasn't in the Wrangler I rented).
Wait, since when has Ford Sync damaged their reputation? I've been very satisfied with my Ford Edge, and I've had a few Ford rental vehicles with Sync that I've had zero issues with. I find it hard to drive a car without that type of system in it anymore.
The reason VPN works is that Comcast was deliberately degrading Netflix's data stream and VPN conceals the nature of the traffic.
If this was the case other services operating on Cogent wouldn't be degraded, but they are. For example, League of Legends was a casualty of this problem and it forced them to make changes in their hosting arrangements.
Don't confuse any of this with "Net Neutrality" - there is no evidence of subscriber connection degradation by The Man, no matter how many hipster technocrats publish urgent tweets to the contrary..
Indeed. Any service on Cogent feeding into Comcast has been affected, including video games like League of Legends, who made their own agreements with providers in order to route around Cogent.
A-C connection is saturated is an issue for A or C, Not the client or the server.
A never went to bill the server, A went to C, because C was generating all the traffic, and C said fuck you, so server went to A and said here's the cash that C won't give you. C made it a server problem, in this case. Peerage is based on an even trade.. the problem is the trade isn't even
Comcast is peering with Cogent, and that is the connection that is saturated. This is why people can VPN around the problem, as there are many routes into Cogent's and Comcast's networks and anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of internet routing understands that routes change depending on source.
Err, thier customers get to use Netflix already by having the internet. The problem was that Netflix didn't give a shit about some customers because they paid the lowest bidder to be their bandwidth host. When my company was worried about delivering video game services where latency is paramount, we asked ourselves which datacenters have connections to which backbones so that we can choose the appropriate one, because we cared about delivering our product to our customers with the lowest latency possible. Comcast may be assholes, but they're not necessarily in the wrong position here.
Yep. The Nook already killed the Kindle, but, unfortunately, B&N is in the shitter so it couldn't keep pace after the Nook Color and base Nook models blew Kindles out of the water
Not going to be giving money to a Chinese startup on Kickstarter. It's already difficult enough to determine which Kickstarters are legit, not even going to get into one's in sketchy countries like China
The best technical choice isn't always the best practical choice. x86-64 won out because it was practical and manageable from a cost perspective. Ran existing code natively while at the same time being an upgrade for the future. Technically speaking, it would be great to have the nation run completely on nuclear power, but there are costs to that, coupled with natural disaster risks, so we moved in other directions. It wasn't practical.
Last year I had an R&D budget of $1. This year I have an R&D budget of $100. It doesn't matter what my competitor has, it matters that I can now do a lot more research and development.
Pick and it's descendants are NoSQL by definition. It is not a relational database, it has no schema. It has a master dictionary and a subset of dictionaries for each account defined. Pick databases are accessible over SQL with an API/wrapper. By default, Reality implementations are generally an OS running in a VM process on a host operating system(ADP uses Digital UNIX/Tru64), while the wrapper allows it to communicate with the outside world.
Well, not the industry being referenced, but many enterprise accounting and inventory databases are PICK based because they're blazing fast and completely reliable. ADP is an example of a company that sells PICK based solution. OpenQM is the open source descendant of PICK

This is not a computerized assisted driving mechanism, dickwad. It's an entertainment system

The source determines the destination route. The first router you hit tells you where the next one is, so you need a source to plot a course.

Which is why you use Wikipedia as a source aggregator rather than a direct source of correct information.
Honestly, it just sounds like he's picking at random, like in Die Hard.

Big government always likes people that have physical and/or psychological dependencies. Easier to manipulate.
According to whom?
Please show me where this rule exists
How isn't it?

Yes, and Itanium is dead. Alpha is gone. And I don't even know what IBM did. Meanwhile, x86-64 is here to stay.
