Sorry buddy. Would you want a surgeon who doesn't know everything and rely on experts?
The presidency requires someone who can make instant decisions that can have a profound impact at any time. Sounds insane and unrealistic? It is!
Look at George W Bush as an example of a president with an above average IQ but not top end? Iraq war and certain decisions were disastrous?!
Yes if you are too dumb to know the leader of North Korea then God help us if you have the keys to the white House.
People keep voting with their gut and not heads. An average Joe Six pack knows better than to hire another Joe Six pack for surgery. Why does he not have the same concerns for a president.
I think its more than just thinner devices. Keep on adding parts and whatnot is the culprit. Apple right can do it right, but Samsung is running into problems trying to do what Apple is doing.
It is open source and part of it was able to compile in Mono under Linux. What happened? Slashdotters would take it more seriously if they could run it on Linux. I wonder if it uses some proprietary.NET SDK that is not in Mono.
44/4 = 11 movies per week or around 1.5 a day. Yourself, kid, and spouse watching 2 hours per day is 6 hours per day! Now you're over.
Do they run Windows 10? Since updates are cumulative they can exceed 900 megs easily. Last month MS released 3 of them 900 X 3 = 2700 X 3 = 8 GB. Now let's say you are a geek who works in IT? You then probably have VMS each running updates as well and you download Isos right? Most geeks use VMS not just for running Windows but also to experiment without hosing your host . This means frequent reimages with more updates too
So if your a 26 year old millennial in an apartment with a 1080p TV who doesn't work in IT then no biggie. If you're a 45 year old programmer project manager with 2 kids and married who has income for 4K TVs and tablets and pcs for the kids then it is a mighty blow!
Tile mobile apps? Yes, I run them and tiles are active and give notifications for email and news. Not to say I am a fan. It is just I just I do use these tiles (not a cell phone) on my hybrid.
Still trying to figure out what you need to shoehorn a phone interface on my desktop and make it difficult to change it. But I think they are getting the point... Otherwise we would not be seeing this now.
I will bite. On my Surface Pro 3 I run Netflix and Hulu on a plane in addition to scanning ports in Wireshark and running Office.
On my PC at home I use my Surface for training videos while I use my other monitors for the real work. Sometimes I will have Star Trek TOS playing on my desk on NetFlix while I do work on my other PC
Dangit gotta warn me when you are posting... now I'm going to have to replace the troll detector again. And two rooms of the house where it was sitting.. and a cat.
Oh yeah, that is a module in SystemD you can call... well sometimes that it... it can be on or off. You change the results by viewing the binary logs
He used 2 of the worst brands on the market which are Crucial and OCZ to cut costs and his experience shows they are crap. He is right they are! I always ask someone in the service department which drives are the worst to get. They point to those 2 brands getting the most returns and replacements.
OCZ might have real capacitors now which the CEO took off to cut costs so they do not fry so easily and hopefully do not use Sandforce anymore.
Hold on there buddy... did you say Crucial and OCZ??
SO you used a sandforce based and the OCZ drives have defective caps on them to cut costs are no caps where they should be which makes them fry with even a slighty off voltage.
Those 2 brands are like comparing a Yugoslavia and Tata cars for reliability.
I only use SamSung Pro drives these days and my Surface Pro 3 has a Western Digital for OEM's.
I have booting on ssds since 2012 and raid 0 booting since 2013! Only problem I had was a bad low end Sansdisk. I replaced it and all has been good for 2 years.
Out of 5 ssds only that one sansdisk displayed any problems. I have another raid 0 which I trash 100 gigs of virtual machines and recreate them every 2 weeks for the past 2 years. According to some tools the older Samsung pro 840 in the raid 0 had over 19 TB of data written to it. Still works like a charm:-)
Sorry I do not buy it... coming from someone on a MS Surface that is a 1.5 years old with Solid State Storage with 0 problem as well.
Sanforce controller SSDs are so 2009 and that buggy firmware has been replaced years ago. Intel and Samsung are very solid and the only bad SSD was sandforce based.
SSDs are reliable and my real world usage shows it. MEanwhile I went through 2 Seagate hard disks since then.
Citation? If your ssd is corrupting it has a faulty cache or ram module. Throw it out! Out of 5 ssds I purchased only 1 which was a low end Sansdisk displayed any problems. When it did it was constant as in reinstalling the OS and it would go corrupt a reboot later problem.
I highly recommend buying a pro grade drive if any geeks here do anything important like SQL work, server storage arrays, or make money money compiling code which would pay for the premium easy in productivity.
I only use Samsung Pro drives. I do have another mid grade Sansdisk Ultra II from 2013 that I gave to an exgf for her laptop. As far as I know it still works with 0 corruption issues. But I am an IT professional so $80 extra over an Evo is worth the piece of mind not to mention I tear the shit out SSDs with virtual machines every week creating and testing labs
Slashdot Mirror
Dude no.
The average slashdoter here is more qualified since we can at least know who the freaking leader of North Korea is?
Does he even watch the news?

Easy we grew up!
We have families now, hate newer technology like win 10, SystemD, and those who want to tax us more.
Most of Trump supporters want low taxes or are religious and think they are following God by not voting for liberals ( in the south really)
I think its more than just thinner devices. Keep on adding parts and whatnot is the culprit. Apple right can do it right, but Samsung is running into problems trying to do what Apple is doing.
Oh you mean like this?
But but the users are the testers. Just ask Microsoft?
QA is a cost center that adds no ROI or any business value and takes away from shipping our product to the customers for Christmas.
Does it support Parrot?
Hey I know this is slashdot where using old win32 tech and bashing ms is cool, but PowerShell is a worthy and modern CLI.
In many ways nicer than bash as it's object oriented and digs into azure, VMware esx, and wmi.
Why can't someone port paint.net which is open source and MIT licensed to mono?
A good chair that won't flat your butt is a good $600!
Not everyone wants to pay for that when you have 3,000 employees
You know boss that Niff guy is always late and calls out every Friday?!
Are you sure you want to lay me off instead of him? What does he do again?
I at least come in at 8am sharp every day!
All managers care about is how cheap they can get it done in their version of productivity formula.
If they drive top talent away then good as productivity goes up by an H1B1 because they are cheaper anyway etc.
Oh wait do you mean shit about deadlines? That's the project managers problem.
Unix port?

While that sounds impressive it is not.

What cell phone?
Tile mobile apps? Yes, I run them and tiles are active and give notifications for email and news. Not to say I am a fan. It is just I just I do use these tiles (not a cell phone) on my hybrid.

Because some of us like me run Windows 10 on portable tablets and hybrids like my 12.3 Surface Pro 3.
No one really buys bulky desktops anymore besides gamers and geeks and we are not the majority of users anymore since the 1990s

Well you all shouted the year of the Linux Desktop right?
Well you got it. Insert Tada (windows 3.1) wav file sound
Unfortunately not exactly as we meant ðY'
ReactOS seems a btter implementation but is immature kernel wise.
Perhaps using reactOS on a linux kernel in userland an idea?
What about porting ReactOS to a linux kernel in userland? There is some success there in that platform and be a better solution than wine
Could something like ReactOS be ported on a Linux kernel in userland to run win32 software?
