    600 megs???

    I just opened MS I afterburner and don't see any of this.

    If that were the case Macosx from 2001 has gpu acceleration on intel 3d chips (not cards) with no video ram run fine. My Mom's 2006 era integrated intel 940gma runs aero fine. He'll my 2010 galaxy s1 runs 3d acceleration fine.

    To top it off window 8 uses wdm and 3d acceleration anyway but emulates 1980s colors and styles. No gains

    Win 7 was awesome at this stage and solid enough to go head to head with Vista and XP. Just Mere weeks before feature freeze it does not look good.

    Why do you think clouds and BYD are so popular?

    Because those annoying cost centers keep getting in the way with their change controls and tickets

    We don't have time for that! The big boss needs this done now and will get his way in the end. We can focus on change management later etc.

    Why is Hillary no different than any other boss who can't afford to wait on IT?

    Right now I am in a dilemma? Our policy is to leave our computers on. No one follows it. We have a big update tonight and this app will throw an exception if it is matched with the server update. So I come and stay til 1am turning on computer every DAM time!

    So I am tempted to give them hell and not do it tonight because SOP are to be ignored unless it is ITs fault. Point being people do not respect IT

    I think software by nerds is for nerds.

    Not Joes. Apache, linux, freebsd, samba, cordova, openssl, and others are invaluable but are for developers.

    Ceos make stuff for people in the private sector. A nerd won't get the colors or calibration right for the gimp as he is not a ceos who speaks with customers or a photographer. Many startups for from those specialized in a field who know a little programing and a guy from work who does code as a partner. Jobs did with Wazchniak. The Open SourceCPU is no Apple as a result.

    Well lets hope I am wrong.

    FYI let MS know in the feedback app on your netbook on the shop?

    I love Google Now and as a kid I wanted a computer like LCARS in Star Trek TNG where I could ask things and get a result. Google Now I use to ask it when CVS closes etc? Cortana can have some use ... however damn it I do not want to bing power options when I just want to launch power options in control panel!

    My suggest would be an instant windows 7 like search and a Cortana search too. I am not discounting Cortana but think MS is experiementing when in 120 days it needs to be RTM!

    But anyway those icons are hideas while Windows 7 is gorgeous. I do nto like the flat theme. My Samsung Galaxy s5 is flat and colorless too. BAH. It is what the elist art professors say and teach gui designers who work at Microsoft, Apple, and Google and flunk those who do things the wrong way with skuemorphism.

    Nadella I can not like as besides metro love the new Microsoft. windows 7 was awesome. So is Azure, VS 2015 which has Android and MacOSX support, Outlook.com, skydrive err onedrive, and other things.

    If the icons have themes I am still in on Windows 10. Let's wait and see?

  23. I feel it in Houston on El Nino Has Finally Arrived, Far Weaker Than Predicted · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It has been one of the coldest and wetist winters in awhile. High around 39 should not be a common occurrence on the gulf coast but it feels more like Seattle than a subtropical place. It got in the 70s only a few times last February.

    El Nino was supposed to be big as a big surge of very warm water up to 150 ft deep and almost 1,000 miles long headed east. However the winds picked up and chilly Antarctic current which cools west South America mixed in for a few months so it is not so warm anymore.

    Weather is complex and last decade (no I do not deny global warming) had a solar null which means cooler temperatures and more la nina events like those in the mini ice age from 1400 - 1840 which explains colder temperatures and dryer conditions. California hit a 500 year drought where the climate actually changed from mediterranean to desert. Same in Chile and Peru.

    No need to get personal.

    FYI you actually slow performance down when you turn off aero and other 3d effects due to the fact that GPUs accelerate the load off the cpu. :-)

    Going flat uses the exact same GPU in Windows 8 as it is accelerated anyway so you use all those precious cpu cycles to emulate the early 1990's. No gain what so ever.

    Yes in 1984 the mac was slow due to graphics but our computers are literally 180,000 more powerful (not even counting the cpu). The mac had 1 mips. An i7 has 130,000 of them! It just doesn't make sense that even your cell phone can do gpu acceleration effects with full color without draining battery at all in good old 2015.
