That's stupid. They should put the nukes on the dark side and then detonate them all at once to crash the moon into Russia. That's so much more direct and efficient than launching the missiles themselves from the moon at Russia.
So they're doing more work to make the same amount of total money over time and at the same time pissing off all IT departments everywhere by making their job impossible due to compatibility problems? Awesome.
Also, unless they get rid of metro, nobody will buy it. This just means 1 more additional year and release before they get a fucking clue. There goes the Microsoft "every other version sucks" pattern.
Apparently the programmers never played Mordor 1. They had a glitch where you could create a real character and a dump character and then trade the dump character a negative money amount so their balance would be heavily negative while you actually got the positive opposite. I think that game came out like 12 year ago, lol.
Too bad this isn't a military project instead or it'd have been cancelled, reinstated, cancelled, reinstated, cancelled, reinstated, cancelled, reinstated, cancelled, and then reinstated as a missile.
For the record, any underfunded IT dept run by unskilled people can have a virus rampage regardless of the OS. There are mac and Linux viruses and just generally undesirable software and if the computers aren't configured properly, they will find it installed.
Just because it's on the internet and not "irl" doesn't mean we can't go to war or at least start sanctions against a country attacking a company in the US. I'm suck if the government just ignoring it.
It's a joke based on the fact that Apple maps has no idea where you are, where you're going, or where your destination is and since he designed it, he'd be using it after leaving the building.
It's actually what Albanians use as life preservers on boats cuz they can't actually afford real life preservers. They actually did throw him off a boat in the middle of the Baltic Sea in the middle of Oklahoma, thus making him the "escape goat."
Making stupid, impossible to execute decisions and then having everyone under you fail to do them properly is definitely the way Apple has done business in the last couple years. That or refusing to properly fund the department despite record profits.
Some people tried to take a photo with their iPhone 5 of him leaving Apple headquarters but there was a huge purple flare over most of it so you can't even tell who it is. They must have been holding it wrong or the sun in that part of the US actually is purple.
I'm fairly certain he was hosting the content himself. If I spent all my money to make an expensive show and then someone ripped it off and started streaming it for free and stealing my viewers and making money off my work that they paid nothing for, I'd fucking kill them. The fact that Hollywood companies are rich, greedy assholes is irrelevant. Stealing content is stealing content and making money on someone else's work is wrong. If someone ripped off Libre Office and started selling copies for cash and violating the GPL, everyone on slashdot would be going apeshit over it. There is no difference.
I know SO MANY IT workers that are 40+ that haven't kept up on the latest technology because they're too lazy and tired of learning new things. That pretty much explains the entire top end of the IT department at the hospital where I worked. A lot of them were around 50 and they didn't even have a basic understanding of computers that would work in modern society. They got some cushy management job and stopped caring. I know other independent repairers like me who use outdated virus removal methods and keep pushing Phenom quad core chips and XP because they don't want to research and learn new stuff.
If old IT workers want to get jobs, more of them have to stop being lazy and keep their skills up to date. I'm 25 and I've already had to go back to college for 1 class and read 2 more textbooks cover to cover. Now I get to learn server 2012, yay. But I do it because I have to if I want to stay employable.
So that this makes any amount of sense, I work 25 hours as the head IT manager for a medium sized company half the day and run a computer repair shop for the other half and I've been doing repairs for 10 years but my 2 associates degrees are in software programming with.NET and website and graphics design with MCSE and A+ training as well.
I am more concerned about that, as all of our Samsung printers have broken at my work. If you've never seen a laser printer's fuser blow out after 50 prints, buy a Samsung, and get some damn popcorn lol.
I agree to a certain point. If it doesn't launch at startup, I don't care about it. But then again, they implemented ads in their weather app so that'd be crapwear whether it loads or not. It seems like every basic windows app has had ads injected into it which definitely certifies it as top level crapware. So the list may be slightly worse than you're imagining but definitely could be trimmed slightly.

They mistranslated it from Swedish. It was supposed to say snafuck lol.
Forget the tools! I've never seen a server room without anime character figurines on top the topmost servers. Definitely hit ebay for them.

Looks like the school district leaned a valuable lesson ... oh wait!
Yeah, spellcheck your press releases! lol.

But they also offered him a cookie bouquet, an iTunes gift card, and comp'ed the buffet if he stops in the US for just a liiiiittle bit, lol.
Amen to that. I tried to get a .NET 2005 programming job and was denied because I didn't have enough experience and I learned it WHEN IT CAME OUT.

They better watch out for those radioactive bears (as seen on slashdot)
It's a trap! Don't do it!
What about the Samsung backdoor into your phones?
I am more concerned about that, as all of our Samsung printers have broken at my work. If you've never seen a laser printer's fuser blow out after 50 prints, buy a Samsung, and get some damn popcorn lol.
The Hyatt says Onity didn't provide a fix until after its break-ins, forcing the hotel to plug its locks' ports with epoxy
Well, at least they issued a patch.

Slashdot said it like a month ago. Just search "newegg"
