Most of slashdot is made up of anti rabid MS users who think 1997 is still present who are now also in their 40s where they do not like change by then.
I saw the same articles on why XP BEST EVER!!!! when Windows 7 was out. Really?? XP was good? When? These same UIDs now say 7 is THE BEST EVER!!
When Windows 11 comes out you will see the same posters say WIndows 10 IS THE BEST EVER!
Notice the same response with SystemD. Init BEST EVER! SIgh. Most of these guys are older than 40 and do not want change. I read up on it and it seems all versions of unix outside of BSD already has switched to an event driven system that is more flexible.
I think running node.js on Chakra will be a nice alternative even if you do not use it. Last thing we want is Google to rewrite standards ala old MS style.
Funny how many illegals built Trump's properties? Why didn't he hire real Americans?
Who was the party that supported outsourcing? Who created a whole department in the White House funded by tax payers to help corporations fire Americans and replace them with foreign counterparts?
You think protectionism and higher wages will force your boss to pay you more if they can't bring in Indians? Or will they give someone in Bangalore an AD admin account or root access to do the work there and just not bother to bring anyone into the office for IT work?
What will happen is if these positions can't be filled they will start outsourcing more and since they alreayd have an office in India now they will just eventually move the whole IT department there for cost savings since they didn't have one pre-trump thanks to protectionism.
I disagree. Yes it is popular to hate the OS as satan here on slashdot.
Windows 10 anniversary over 7 has: 1. Much better battery life for laptops and not just portables 2. Native wifi and NFC printing 3. Native USB 3 and USB type C drivers 4. Stable NVMe (7 is backported with 3rd party drivers that are buggy) 5. Hyper-V (A Must for any IT professional!). Yes you can run native Ubuntu and Fedora with a generation 2 VM 6. Better JavaScript performance (in Chrome) 7. Cloud integration with azure with Azure Active Directory. Some businesses prefer this model over having an expensive IT department 8. Ink works well on MS surface and hybrids for OneNote and Sticky Notes. I own a Surface Pro 3 and yes it is a work tool for me that is ultra portable
You could not pay me to go back on Windows 7. The only good thing I have to say about Windows 7 is it is very stable and has a consistent gorgeous UI with aero. But like XP it is showing it's age with 3rd party drivers that do not work well, terrible battery life, and it does not work as well with modern hardware.
Dude the new AMD Polaris just hit 2014 era benchmarks as it caught up with 9xx Nvidia technology. It is dead . Even the new 1060 low end Pascal can easily outmatch a Polaris 480x
I expect all the changes backported into 2.6 as I do not want to use a kernel designed for teenagers and throw out perfectly good working computers and learn something new all over again
However, I will ask how many starving people he could have fed or provided clothes to school children or how hard his employees had to work to earn the money he took?
I am not hating but sometimes life is not fair. My boss grew up poor and we got into a horrible argument with him yesterday. Another coworker was dating this girl who was broke and didn't have a computer to finish college. He had 2 spare laptops at home. We both argued he shouldn't give them to her as they are Macs and worth a lot. Also it was just 1 date. It got bad as we were accused of being heartless bastards.
If I ever become rich I would prefer to donate money as my boss thinks burning money is the worst sin you could possible commit. How much better could society be if we spent the same amount of money we spent at Christmas to the homeless or disadvantaged?
Next month Edge will have a webkit extension store and will be compatible:-)
I still use IE 11 on Windows 10 to test code. I find IE 11 better than Edge oddly. It is not the same browser at all compared to IE 6. Not awesome, but it is ok and is usable and W3C compliant now.
I just add a line of CSS code to tell edge to load the IE 11 engine for compatibility as I do not want to bother to debug it as it is still alpha level quality and no one really uses it yet.
It is a malware target and Windows 10 is sooo buggy in early builds compared to today. NTFS corrupts itself if you use a builld before the April update.. The update service is the only way to make it stable
If you have a machine that keeps getting bricked it means it is old and tested for Windows 7. Not 10. It is best not to update these machines as newer hardware does not break with auto updates.
But all of Windows does this I would assume as NT uses both a server and a workstation service together. Also MS is known to integrate things for stuff like sharepoint to work better with IE
This is 2016 and there is no excuse to release a buggy browser with no extension support.
Edge is more like IE 6. It crashes and is more of a prototype browser that is unfinished. It shouldn't have been released as IE 11 is better.
Edge and 10 can self corrupt as well and give random RPC.DLL errors too with the earlier builds. It is not enterprise ready yet either. The later builds starting in May seem to prevent this problem.
Corporate users need to keep updates on to fix the bugs which makes them uncomfortable.
I am sticking with Chrome and IE 11 for my work on 10 at home. Sorry, but don't release your shit before it is ready. Vista, IE 6, and ME should have been examples of rapid releasing and fix later and you see how the market reacts
No edge has buggy JavaScript and Windows 10 can self corrupt with earlier builds before 100560.
I kept Windows 8 until last month for these reasons and still use IE 11 for testing code and sites and ignore Edge. It's not ready for prime time yet and you can forge it to render with IE 11 with a specific Css tag. Thats what I am doing until 2017 or so.
That's not what causes battery drain. JavaScript and CPU level threading and usage can be tuned. For example tickless schedulers can make a big difference with minimal impacts to performance.
The 7 loyalists may want to deny it but 8 and later are great with portables due to changes like above. JavaScript can be tuned too.
No the reason why is because of outsourcing and process engineering with automation.
In 1980 1,000 accountants and book keepers making $80,000 a year in today's dollars were needed to run a fortune 1,000 company. Today, about 8 or 9 in India making $10/hr with excel and great plains accounting and Oracle can get the job done. Accounting majors start at Walmart where they are worth more.
Indians are for those with MBAs and 10yeaes experience for those expensive $15/hr jobs.
Robots can do manual labor cheaper. Websites can automate web page design cheaper and the coders for the glue can be in India to cut costs further.
So why should companies pay more? The US government has a whole department to help you outsource and will reward you with a tax break as an incentive to screw their own citizens.
You know it's all fun and games when it's other peoples money.
Put your money where your mouth is? I will cut your salary in half and give it to someone less productive. Now you can be roommates with the guy at the gas station broke together in a run down apartment.
All equal right?
What? That is not fair? You worked hard to gain the education and overtime and training to get where you're at today? But but think of the poor guy at the gas station!
Life is not fair. But it is more fair where we are at now! I can argue since office work is the most pleasant that you should earn less. Fair is fair right?
Think the CEO is greedy? Just look what a bad one can do like the case of Nokia?
It is. 18% interest adds a multitude more of a monthly payment well over a 40% increase in principle price wise. Housing is cheaper than it's ever been!
Anti depressants such as SSRIs are addicting and difficult to quit.
Ask anyone who has lost their sex drives and short term memory why they still take then and why withdrawal creates severe neurotransmitter imbalance which takes 6 weeks to recover from? I am talking vomiting, suicidal thoughts, and psychosis.
All the shooters were on or going off SSRI depressants too.
My point is these medications help people but come with great risks. Google PSSD? Asexuality from SSRI use for years at a time is one such side effects with those from unfortunate gene expressions.
So yes meds are as bad or worse than cocaine as once your brain gets used to certain neurotransmitters it cannot function without them.
I see no difference. FYI I am half a child's dose of Adderall myself and once a week do not take it with some withdrawal effects to prevent myself from being addicted. I know 1st hand.
I ran it in a VM and was disappointed with it's lack of vmware driver support. I won't bother running it on hyper-V as a type1 hypervisor uses more native hardware drivers.

Buy a Nexus!
Pure Google and monthly updates and no lag whiz or carrier crap. I love my 6p

The poloris based 480x is slower than Nvidia's cheapest 1060 card for $75 more. Nvidia just released the most advanced graphics card just yesterday
Dude the new AMD Polaris just hit 2014 era benchmarks as it caught up with 9xx Nvidia technology. It is dead . Even the new 1060 low end Pascal can easily outmatch a Polaris 480x
This is change for the sake of change.
I expect all the changes backported into 2.6 as I do not want to use a kernel designed for teenagers and throw out perfectly good working computers and learn something new all over again
For one stop going to Indian sweatshops and finding the cheapest outsourcer with teams of no real world experience
I do think it is awesome.
However, I will ask how many starving people he could have fed or provided clothes to school children or how hard his employees had to work to earn the money he took?

Most of the IT people you see hear say no to all updates with a smile.
Windows 7 does that too

Updating on Windows is A MUST@!
It is a malware target and Windows 10 is sooo buggy in early builds compared to today. NTFS corrupts itself if you use a builld before the April update.. The update service is the only way to make it stable
If you have a machine that keeps getting bricked it means it is old and tested for Windows 7. Not 10. It is best not to update these machines as newer hardware does not break with auto updates.
Spying of course :-)
But all of Windows does this I would assume as NT uses both a server and a workstation service together. Also MS is known to integrate things for stuff like sharepoint to work better with IE
Seriously I have been using flashblack on Chrome for years now and run adblock plus on IE for a year two as well.
Flash is truly terrible and a risk.
This is 2016 and there is no excuse to release a buggy browser with no extension support.
Edge is more like IE 6. It crashes and is more of a prototype browser that is unfinished. It shouldn't have been released as IE 11 is better.
