Canadian idiocrats are doing this because they do not expect an organized response from the victims er sorry constituency. Imagine what would happen if a tax on stock transactions were proposed (that is, in addition to taxing gains, tax every single transaction, win or lose).
I won't buy your bridge or move my systems away from Ext4 for the time being. BTW, E2fsck does a great job of repairing filesystems that have been corrupted (sometimes massively) by hardware failure of various kinds. This is an essential trick that ZFS and Btrfs have yet to learn.
Microsoft is still very deep in the hole. The price they paid to buy their modest income stream makes no business sense at all. And here there are with that product end of lived and bound and determined to do it again.
Let's look back a year from now and see who is delusional. I predict that the mobile gaming space will continue to grow like gangbusters and the couch potato lifestyle that supports the console industry will be shrinking.
there is no reason the "volume/RAID" abstraction and "file system" abstraction should not be merged. Separating the two was a solution to a problem that no longer exists
Oh, so true. Indeed, problems like modularity, maintainability and shared functionality stopped existing long ago as we all know.
Bugs are like roaches. If you see one, you can be sure there are many others hiding in the cracks. There is no room for any bugs at all in a filesystem to which you will trust your essential data.
I'll say the same thing I've been saying: "Big console" is done. EA's failure proves it. The growth spot of gaming is indie and mobile. AAA blockbusters will move back to the PC. Which isn't actually great news for Microsoft now that Valve has defected. Microsoft's new XBox means exactly one thing: more massive losses to pile on top of the old massive losses, still far from recouped.
The termination charge is for the phone purchase, not the service contract. Are civil servants specially bred for this elite class of idiocy, or is part of their cerebral cortex normally removed as part of the interview?
Wow, I detected a civil servant with mod points. Look if you don't want to be thought of like that then don't do this shit.
I'm not surprised in the least. T-Mobile is too busy scamming people out of their money to think about things like security (celebrity phone hacks) or actually getting a good infrastructure available (one bar in my apartment, the tower is 300 feet away, clear LOS.)
But to be fair, that same tower also carries Verizon, and they get the same service level in my apartment.
Security happens in your phone. To depend on the carrier for anything beyond delivering the signal and keeping your registration info private is just naive. As far as infrastructure goes... it's true, in the past T-Mobile has suffered somewhat on the cell tower side but has improved lately. The last noticeable issue I had compared to other carriers was a couple of years ago.

I'm having fun. I get a big charge out of watching a morally corrupt organization weaken and wither, to the general benefit of society. Honestly, there are times when I thought I would never see this day.
Apple's product ideas died with Steve Jobs. Tim Cook is a complete limp wrist. Example brilliant Tim Cook idea: make the new iphone too long and not wide enough, because increasing the horizontal pixel count is way too scary.
Wow, Apple cultist spinmods really do not like having the obvious pointed out to them. Get over it. Magic Apple died with Steve Jobs. Sunset Apple has arrived.
And if you have invested your money in Apple stock then I can tell you with some confidence that your investment is in danger. Largely because of Linux.

Technical content is nearly zero. Puff piece for techno bystanders.

I presume that you think it would be a good idea to tax all uses of cash as well?
All seems reasonable to me.
Is there a tax on giving money to your friend? No? Why? And how is that different from giving bitcoins to your friend?
NT is a better system for the transfer of information and data
I wonder where he got that idea?
It's not the "not running Android" that's the problem, it's the locking it down that's a problem.
They aren't locking it down so you can't run Linux. They're locking it down so you have to go to their app store for 3rd party apps.
And so you can't run Linux.
it's not MS that caused Nokia to tank
That is self serving Microsoft bullshit. On the day Elop released his stupid memo Nokia lost 20% and it was all downhill from there. Fact.
Don't worry about it, you're not the target audience after all. :)
Right. The target market is clearly people who prefer poor quality games and lots of bullshit. You?
Ext4 has a bigger, more experienced team behind it and was derived from a mature design (Ext3)

What modularity?
In a business sense there was actually only one successful console in the last cycle: Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft both lost massively.
Microsoft is still very deep in the hole. The price they paid to buy their modest income stream makes no business sense at all. And here there are with that product end of lived and bound and determined to do it again.

Rent seeking is the new innovation at Microsoft.
You're being too kind. It's protection money.
The dividend is the reward for holding the stock for a full quarter.
If you could rely on that then you would be rich instead of just some random schmuck posting bad financial advice on Slashdot.
