Promotions should be based 100% on skill and actual merit and 0% on duration of service in the military. Until they fix that, people who aren't great at their jobs are promoted all the time and terribly skilled lower level recruits are held off. That's why I never joined.
In the very old game, Mordor, you could create a dummy character and trade negative 1 million gold to the. They get negative, you get positive. Then you delete them. This is just barely one step past that (and at least 15 years past that, lol)
Everyone using it just got banned from everything everywhere. Everyone is behind one giant router that assigns sub-IPs privately but to the open internet, you're all on the same IP address. So one of those thousands people starts ranting on a forum, you're all IP-banned from it since you're all on the same IP. If you've ever used a common proxy or TOR exit node, you'll notice you're basically banned from everything everywhere. That's exactly what will happen here.
Please, come back to reality. You're making open source software users look like idiots again. Here we need to run an app that only runs on Windows. That is not uncommon. The end. Calling me lazy just proves how ignorant you are.
What planet are you using Windows Update on? A huge amount of drivers are held in the optional section under hardware in Windows Update. The older a system is and the more common the parts, the more likely it is to be carried in Windows Update's driver database. I think basically all Realtek sound drivers are there. I know virtually everything Intel ever made is there. A lot of Nvidia drivers are there. Even chipset and a TON of monitor drivers are there.
That's funny because every illegal copy I've seen come into my shop is virus infested because it's missing basically all updates and at least 1 major service pack. No crack has a long useable life and never touching Windows Update is beyond stupid from a security standpoint. Then people like me refuse to work on it so you can never get your illegal PC serviced anywhere. So good luck with your half-working crack disaster.
Amen to that. A long time ago I tried to set up a Runescape box for a friend. It was a P4 with 1GB of RAM but it screamed on Ubuntu. It took around 2-3 hours to install Java though. All those command line file paths I had to type manually because they didn't implement a root login or UI options to "run as root." Ugh, I'd rather talk to Microsoft tech support.
If we have $1000 to spend and that buys a crappy mac or an ungodly fast Windows PC, then no, it's not the software's fault that $1000 bought better performance on a Windows PC. It's Apple's ridiculous pricing that caused it.
There are very few reasons why a key won't work the first time and they all tie back to the user (this author) being a moron. First, use the correct disc. Second, use the correct CD key for the disc. Third, don't activate until all the devices are installed instead of marked as "unknown device." Fourth, actually activate Windows in the stated time period instead of ignoring it. Fifth, don't activate it more than once per year. And if all else fails just activate it via the Microsoft robot on the phone. It takes approx 4 mins 32 seconds to do.
I have never, ever had to talk to a rep in India ever in 10 years in business building and refurbishing computers. So who was he even talking to on the phone and why? Probably a license vs disc-used discrepancy. Definitely, without a doubt, USER ERROR!
I've activated over 150 PCs I built, XP through 7, so if this guy has had nonstop issues activating all the OSes there were, he doesn't know what he's doing. Don't activate THEN install 10 device drivers. That will cause a hardware lock morph that unactivates it. Everyone knows that. Don't download a fucking crack for any OS. They all fall apart eventually. What a complete idiot. Buy a real copy of Windows 7, put it on, activate it, the end. I have never, ever, ever had a problem with a non-big company OEM license ever and I rarely have problems with them either.
Ummm from my own recorded numbers, my close ratio is quite good. That means when presented with a computer from me vs a computer from anyone else (usually HP), I win the vast majority of the time. So yes, I'm crushing them. I didn't say anything about scale but I'm still crushing them.
I saw the numbers for OpenCL vs CUDA and it wasn't a real pretty picture. It beat CPU rendering significantly but also lost to CUDA significantly in most cases.
Your cells can only divide so many times before those little barbell-shaped molecule thingies get too short so really you need the mental control over processes, the cognitive capability breakdown problem in the brain, and the cell division problems all solved or it's not going to go so well.
I run a computer repair and custom builds shop and this is the same reason I crush HP, my #1 competitor. By the time they're done ordering, testing, writing documentation, assembling, shipping, and then reselling their PCs, it's like 6+ months later. I use SSD drives that just came out. They're probably just shipping Pyro and Vertex 3 drives in their laptops and PCs, lol. Oh wait, they're HP, so it's probably Adata, SSDNow, and Sandisk. They're very anti-good parts over at HP, as a company policy.
I build a computer order to delivery in about 4 days so customers get the latest, fastest everything. Take that, bulky competitors! Unfortunately, there's really nothing like that in the car world.
Yeeeeah, here's how the SDLC really works. You submit 3 CRM suites so your bosses in a presentation. You heavily favor the best one with the best reputation, widest support, and overall least pain in the ass to the IT department long term. Then your bosses pick the cheaper one anyway and quit and make it someone else's problem. Then I got hired on to replace him (yes, this is a real story, lol). Now the company behind the CRM got bought out, we never renewed our support contract anyway, and we haven't updated it in 3 years because they just want us to buy the new post-merger hybrid version that fully supports all browsers for approx 75% the cost of the initial suite.
I proposed we switch to a legendary CRM that also has a point of sale interface, stable database underpinnings, great support, great price, and getting a contract for updates and support. They bosses declined it. Now all the users and the IT dept is pretty pissed that the old CRM can't talk to our new Exchange 2010 server that we just got about 5 years later that we should have (due to budget reasons and bosses).
This is how IT reality actually is so put down your college textbook and welcome to how the IT world really works. I just got done with a contracted project at a call center that just migrated off of pentium 3 desktops with 2GB of PC133 and they chose Dell laptops that had a RMA rate of 1/5th of them in the first week. So this isn't even as bad as it gets. Also, their head IT manager just quit so now it's 1 IT to 500 employees instead of 2:500.

Potassium isotope decay and electromagnetic cell phone radiation are completely and utterly different types of radiation, dude.

Reading everything, it's actually Windows 9/Windows 8.1/Windows Blue/Windows 6.3. I kid you not. It is called all of those officially by MS.
You have got to be kidding me.

Because we have applications that only run on Windows. I hear that's not uncommon.

I only care about uninstall speed. I remove it from every system that comes into my shop unless someone uses it. So far, nobody uses it.

IE10 and Chrome 26 are both faster than the last Firefox ESR so then why use Firefox?
Almost zero macs ship out with Nvidia cards and CUDA runs unstable and inconsistent on Macs. You are an idiot and should stop posting.

Am I the only one that doesn't want a car that needs software updates?
You're missing out on all the pre-patching, best testing, out of control Prius going 88MPH on the highway adrenaline rush though.
The hardware may be 4 years old but the software and RF security is at least pre-1980's, lol.
There is a place for Windows 8, but I think many are missing it.
Naw, I'm selling used Windows 7 laptops like crazy now. I found and not missed it just fine, lol.
