I don't care what this article says, this is nothing new. My in-home psychiatrist in the 1990s was great at diagnosing my issues. Perhaps you were a patient of his, too? His name was Dr. Sbaitso.
I'm sure that's the same thought my neighbors dog has while it is chasing the cars passing by.
That's one of biggest misuses of the would "could" in marketing history. I'm sure your dog would come out richer, their claim with no basis on observed or measurable reality is a (cool, admittedly), wild-ass guess. At least we know what's in a car.
Sure, WE know what's in the car, but the DOG doesn't have a clue.
Just like how the ALIENS know exactly what is in that big 'roid that's a'comin.
Plus applicable processing fee, because you just performed a cash advance. And by default the amount is equal to your "available for advance" amount in full. Have fun with that!
The memory industry is the one most abusing the units of measurement as they typically are reporting GiB but label it as GB.
However, according to TFS, I think TFA (sorry, not allowed to read it) is making a point that M$ (and likely others) are displaying storage capacities (aka HDDs and other things that use proper SI / base 10 prefixes) with the numeric component calculated based on one prefix, but labeling them with the other. So it's the same problem as the memory industry -- the numeric component is reported in KiB / MiB / GiB / TiB, however the unit of measure label stuck next to it is in KB / MB / GB / TB. It is a mismatch, and for that they are Doing it Wrong(tm).
With memory, it is a defacto standard, and most people realize that 1GB of RAM means 1,073,741,824 Bytes. And by the same token with HDDs people (hopefully) realize that 1GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes. But when some software company comes along and represents your 1,000,000,000 Bytes of HDD space as 0.9313 GB (when it should have been GiB) you suddenly get 1) confused, and 2) feel shortchanged. The latter is a human psychology issue, can't fix that easily. But the confusion could have been avoided entirely, which incidentally also avoids issue #2.
This is why, when looking at file in Windows and wanting to know the *actual* size, I open up the properties dialog and look at the "Size" field. It tells me in bytes...no prefixes or other stupid calculation and/or labeling errors. Also tells me "Size on disk" which accounts for slack space and matters more for when I'm concerned about the actual amount of my limited resource that has been consumed.
So, leave it up to New Yorkers: as long as they want to pay and are able to pay for defending the city against the elements, let them.
Most people will agree with that statement. However, they are just like you, too narrow minded to realize that those costs would not come 100% from "within" as you suggest.
Part of what you say is true, but that is not the whole story.... Some people don't just WANT large inefficient cars, they NEED large gas-guzzling vehicles.
Take, for example, me. I have five kids (three are adopted, so no preaching about overpopulating the Earth). Add the wife, and I need a vehicle to carry at least seven people.... Sometimes, bugger IS better.
Congratulations, you are part of the underwhelmingly small minority of people who actually operate their large vehicles at or even remotely close to maximum seating capacity.
The more common scenario is the suburban soccer mom who has a full sized SUV with a 5+ liter V8 under the hood, and is using it as personal (as in ONE person) transport to have brunch, go shopping, play some tennis, hit the day spa, and wrap it all up by sitting in front of the school idling (gotta run the A/C cuz it's hot out!) for 20 minutes to pick up the kids because they are too good to ride the bus. And if that's not bad enough, soccer dad drives his 4x4 heavy duty pickup along the highway to go work downtown behind a desk all day.
P.S. I hope that your family also owns a smaller car for times when you need to transport at most a few members of the pack.
You're a disgusting pervert. Either you have a fixation on old ladies, or you have a fixation on older women fucking underaged boys. Either way, it's digusting.
Who said moms are old? Hell, turn on a daytime talk show and you'll probably see some mom who isn't even old enough to legally ## in the first place.
Because it stands for Domain Name System. Often pronounced "dee niss" by people who think 3 syllables of "dee inn ess" is too many.
What you are thinking of is a very similar parallel technology, the Phone Number System, or PNS. And I can imagine that "pee inn ess" is too much, so people will pronounce it "pee niss" instead.
TFA:...an effort to “radically” decompose monolithic vertical applications into sets of core granular services, which the company will then mash into any number of analytics applications.
And then TFA goes on to talk about how it will be faster by using in-memory databases. Well, Fscking Duh(tm)!
Also, one doesn't need Winderz Ate to "broker data between services"... there are already plenty of message queuing systems available that are not necessarily so OS dependent.
Second this. It's the best thing I've ever seen from Redmond. If all their software worked like this their suckometer would read a hell of a lot lower.
If their other software (read: Windows) worked like 'this', then 'this' wouldn't be needed in the first place./smirk
You also have Oracle... in that list that have little to no support for Linux with their software (or other questionable attributes).
Oracle? I mean sure Larry's O-monster is definitely one of the major Big Evil Corporations(tm), but you can't say they have no support for Linux. Hell, the flagship product Oracle Database has been available for Linux (and even certified on several distros) for at least 10 years now -- I was running 8i on a Slackware box back in 2003!
Many years ago, they came out with their own Linux distro (based on RHEL), and now you can even get a turn-key solution that includes an "appliance" server, which runs their software... get this... on Linux! They will fully support you with mission-critical issues, as long as you pay for the support contract;)
Furthermore, most people don't even know that Oracle has dedicated team of paid staff that does nothing but work on FOSS. One of these projects is OCFS2, which I have personally been involved with (as a user & community member, not a developer) for 2-3 years now and has recently become part of the mainline Linux kernel.

Errr, I meant psychologist. Big difference!

In the old days, one could look at the HDD LED or at the CPU load monitor to see if anything was actually happening in the running process.
I used to just listen to the clatter of all those seeks and know that the system was doing something at least. Now SSDs have even ruined that!
I'm sure that's the same thought my neighbors dog has while it is chasing the cars passing by.

If you follow the link on the summary you find an article with title "Artificial Intelligence, Powered by Many Humans"
That about sums up my daily experiences...
Everywhere I go there are many humans with an overwhelming lack of real intelligence.
At least someone has finally found a use for their collective stupidity such that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
