That's not true. Under Linux, I can work without having to call IT every other day for weired problems Also, I have one package manager that covers all software. You can't do that on Windows.
I hear where they don't want me to use hairspray. They want me to use the pump! Because the other one – which I really like better than going "bing, bing, bing," and then it comes out in big globs, right? And it's stuck in your hair and you say, "Oh my God, I gotta take a shower again! My hair's all screwed up!" Right?'
>> They are perfectly capable of and are building EVs, hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
Yeah, not really. The other car makers build EVs in homeopathic numbers and they all say that they will ramp up suddenly after 2020. No one believes them on that.
>> I'm probably missing something here? Yes, 1) Not enough PR 2) Cost of added complexity and certification costs 3) Infrastructure and support costs (you need a big power supply, ground control infrastructure and manpower, communication at long distance, which require attitude control of the spacecraft, tracking, etcetcetc...) 4) Integration onto/into the spacecraft 5) radiation hardening: this is not your typical LEO cubesat. It goes through intense radiation. 6) Communication bandwidth to mars distances is really really small. Divide that by a thousand experiment, and they become useless.

>> BTW: Did anyone find out whether the ammo Steve used was made out of silver? :)
Nearly. It was made of Silverlight
It was nicer with flash, but so much insecure :

it's still a dead end platform from the Software side.
Didn't they pull the plug recently on the server for the "live" tiles ?
Yeah, it's pretty much New Old Stock.
They stocked a lot to inflate numbers, now they "found" them...
Climate change is having more effects than we anticipated !
>> Intel, Microsoft, Dell, HP and Lenovo Expect PCs ... To Ship Next Year
Wait a minute, they expect to sell PCs next year ???
PCs are a declining business.
The US Should rather regulate Guns.
Why should it ? It doesn't have a transmitter.
>> I predict that a few years from now, web browsers will have crytocurrency handling as a built-in feature
Browsers are already slow enough.
If you want to go worse, up to you, but probably most people will not go to browsers with incorporated hooks for malware.
>>Seriously, you have 36 servers and manage each one individually? That's not the most efficient way of doing things.
Yeah, true.
The most efficient way is to put it in the cloud and let Junior Hackers manage it instead.
They're free, so it must be very efficient.
And that's job security
>> It's just nobody ever did a sandbox runtime right
That's the actual root of the problem.
It can't be done right.
It cannot be all of that:
- Fast
- Safe
- Compatible across OS
- Adopted massively by applications
- Efficient on ressource usage
- Complete in features
Basically, it would create in the end a massive bloated shim layer which must be maintained for many different O.S. and Hardware configurations.

Yeah. but it's not.
It's a better software ecosystem with typically one central package manager for everything.

What is it then ?
A golden cage ?

Use Linux.
Use Linux

I wanna use hairspray!
>> The Nissan Leaf is the best selling EV by a fair margin.
Not for long
BAIC or BYD will probably overtake the leaf this year.
>> They are perfectly capable of and are building EVs, hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
Yeah, not really.

No one believes them on that.
>> it always feel strange when we go "backwards".
That's normal, don't worry.
Civilizations all rise and fall, so id the actual western civilization
>> I'm probably missing something here?
Yes,
1) Not enough PR
2) Cost of added complexity and certification costs
3) Infrastructure and support costs (you need a big power supply, ground control infrastructure and manpower, communication at long distance, which require attitude control of the spacecraft, tracking, etcetcetc...)
4) Integration onto/into the spacecraft
5) radiation hardening: this is not your typical LEO cubesat. It goes through intense radiation.
6) Communication bandwidth to mars distances is really really small. Divide that by a thousand experiment, and they become useless.
Better use something like this :

One cyclist ?
It should be thousands !!
Furthermore, protecting obsolete business models is not the role of laws, so yes, at that point it becomes corruption.
