They're industry leaders in churning out Powerpoint decks full of bold announcements about new initiatives to tide us over till the next change of direction.
Wait, let me see if I got this right. So we in the shape of the Federal government are actually paying for a bunch of home schoolers and flat earthers to crap all over the Internet more conveniently?
Can't we save some money and just provide connectivity to Breitbart and Red State and keep these people out of other comment sections?
They can of course do whatever they like once they default and are forced to go off on their own to protect the rest of the Eurozone. I'm sure having a currency of their own again may sound tempting considering their current predicament.
But current cryptocurrencies are popular only because of the promise of easy wealth to early adopters. The concept of taking control away from established capital and the concept of states is only interesting as long as such adopters have not yet become established themselves. A state backed cryptocurrency will not have that dodgy get rick quick appeal so it's hard to see who will benefit from this.
I've had my Samsung S5 (Verizon) complain that TowelRoot was malware.
That's more like a contraindication, though. Like a vote of confidence where the entire floor except for the distinguished gentleman Knox from the state of Samsung goes mf-ing AYE!
Writeup doesn't make sense. The problem is supposedly a fundamental limit in Direct3D 11.2, which would be unable to handle the large nunber of draw calls. Yet the Nvidia 970 and 980 are claimed to offer great ('ideal') performance. Using D3D 11.2. Wut?
Maybe AMD should spend more time optimizing their D3D path rather than spending their limited development resources on the Mantle detour that benefits noone but their own hardware.
A kidney stone attack can have very similar symptoms to an acute appendicitis (searing pain around the abdominal area, vomiting) which qualifies as an emergency. It is possible that an accurate diagnosis could not be performed on site.
Other than that, kidney stones are among the most painful afflictions there are. Patients are best brought to a place where windows can't be opened as some may decide to jump out on the spot. They will do anything to get the pain to stop, and a guy like Bezos just happens to have some resources.
Yes but the Superphone will go further than that. It will channel the qualities of all the Microsoft mobile products we've come to know and love over the years, like Pen Windows, the Pocket PC, Tablet PC, Windows Mobile, the Zune, the Courier, the Kin, and yes of course Windows CE!
Err ok maybe most people didn't exactly love them. Or know them, for that matter.
Without a way to selectively shut it off, (no, keeping your eye closed for long periods of time is not an option, it actually get tiring) it would be very inconvenient.
We got this covered. Why do you think most pirates wear eyepatches?
I reckon it's usually because they're worried that the level of debauchery be unfit for their bionic eye.
Noone wanted it because the version without Media Player cost exactly the same as the one with. So which OEM in his right mind would put that on a PC? Which shop would stock it?
The EU made a mistake in not forcing MS to lower the pricing on the Windows without Media Player.
How much cheaper could Windows really be if your purchase price wasn't sponsoring the programming teams that are working on the 'free' browser, virus scanner, defragmenter, backup program, touch interface, fax and scan interface, optical burn program, media player, movie maker, speech recognition, java clone, flash knockoff and all the other crap that you get with Vista? None of these programs are particularly good, so let's just see some Win32/MFC/.NET libraries for say 10$ and you can keep the rest of the crap. There are better alternatives which are truly free.
You might of course just use any hard drive imaging tool, but this is rather slow and clumsy, and it will use a lot of disk space (which isn't necessarily a problem if you really wanna burn a DVD every time). It might be easier and quicker to use one that supports incremental backups. I like Acronis True Image a lot but it is not free.
If you mainly want to document changes done to a running system over time, virtualisation products might fit your purposes well. Most of them have some sort of ability to make snapshots. The popular free VMware Server only allows a single snapshot, but Sun's xVM is every bit as good and does multiple snapshots easily.
Jerry and his cronies clearly don't want them to fuck off. Look at them, they're now even setting a target for the deal at 33$ per share - which was already offered and rejected earlier. So they've resigned to a pyrrhic victory, and rightfully so, because they know Yahoo is an empty bubble of a company and a shitty buy even at the 23$ the share is supposedly worth right now. Microsoft should take their money and run.
Do you work in the embedded applications industry? I can tell you that Linux is and remains quite toxic to the business community b.c. of the GPL and the perception of substantial legal risk thereof. Cisco for instance is making a push to use a FreeBSD derivate in all of its consumer products--displacing in some cases existing linux based hardware.
Heh, while at the same time embracing Linux for their professional Integrated Services Routers. You may be familiar with the 1841, 28xx and 38xx series? Many people are.
BSD has enjoyed tremendous penetration into the commercial marketplace. Linux is included in a handful of devices--decisions attributable to a wave of linux euphoria which has now mostly dissipated.
Hi! And welcome to this planet. You seem to be a tad out of touch with the current marketplace reality, so let me give you a quick update and assure you that Linux is everywhere.
Yeah me too. Although the default futuristic non-standard UI looks a bit cheapish. But you can switch it off, like the spoken status updates (which I don't mind), and otherwise this is a pretty solid free scanner.
I used to run AVG on some of my PCs but I pretty much switched over to Avast altogether a couple of months ago.

Sadly, you're not wrong, even though many will refuse to admit it. There's a bit of NIH syndrome going on here and also a general lack of understanding why neither X nor VNC are as functional as Remote Desktop.
Sun's Secure Global Desktop (previously known as SCO Tarantella) actually compares really well in the Unix world, but it's payware even if you need just 1 or 2 seats - functionality that is included with the OS with Remote Desktop. Sun, do all of us, Unix and yourself a favor, and give this product away. Sell licenses to compete with Terminal Server and Citrix, not with Remote Desktop. Pretty please:)
I really wish Sun Secure Global Desktop were a free product or had some sort of free edition. It's all the things VNC and FreeNX aren't, and compares well with Remote Desktop and Citrix, but at 100$/seat it's never gonna matter.
We do not know what lies ahead in our nation's fight against radical Islamic extremists I believe he makes an important distinction here, and I would hate to see those cuddly moderate Islamic extremists being lumped in with the bad guys.
This article was rather amusing, at times I wasn't quite sure if the author was serious, with statements like:
One particularly important new change introduced with DDR3 is in the improved prefetch buffer: up from DDR2's four bits to an astounding eight bits per cycle. Woo I think I wet my pants there. But the author seems genuinely excited about this technology. I mean:
DDR3 is very similar to the advancement of jet propulsion over prop-style aircraft, and an entirely new dimension of possibility is made available. Hahaha

are tearing me apart. And breaking my heart.
Yeah, even the ridiculously activist Supreme "corporations are people and money is speech" Court didn't think they could get away with that one.
Try another talking point. Benghazi maybe?

Ng is a consonant pronounced the same as it is when elsewhere in a word. Think of the word "singer", and don't say the "si".
AH so it's pronounced nig-ger then.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Like TFA says, they're talking about market leadership in North America.
It could also be said they're market leaders in corporate messaging devices.

It's always provocative when you hear they spotted a big black monolith in the regolith.
His first response was probably to ask if this meant Jenna was pregnant.
