Humans - and you in particular, it seems - lack the capacity for analyzing catastrophic events that occur with very low probabilities.
There is a 100% probability that the nuclear waste at Hanford is going to cost untold billions to clean up, if ever.
I take it your familiar with Hanford, taken out of context "the 2014 estimated cost of the remaining Hanford clean up is $113.6 billion" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., this is after billions have already been spent.
There is a 100% probability that the Columbia river will be heavily contaminated with nuclear waste within a few years.
When the fight was on to restart N-reactor, the Oregonian (Oregon Newspaper) did a study of the radiation in the area. Where the Columbia river turns just after the reactors, high radiation levels were found on the shore of the far side of the turn. Three cities are located just down river of the reactors (older and the first reactors released primary water directly into the Columbia river (after the water was held to cool down first)). I can't say there's medical problems caused by this, nor say there aren't.
There is a 100% probability that the US taxpayer will end up paying over and over and over again to dispose of nuclear waste.
Taxpayers are already footing the bill for Whoops, this for reactors that were never finished, (three at Hanford alone, their foundations can be seen using Google Earth). "Due to over-commitment to nuclear power in the 1970s which brought about financial collapse and the second largest municipal bond default in U.S. history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The monies footed for Gable mountain (Hanford) for waste disposal, then abandoned for the Yucca Mountain waste disposal site in Nevada which itself was recently abandoned I can imagine only imagine as being vast.
And that's just the beginning as a federal law called "The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982" states "a waste disposal site must be in place" yet the time table has been passed long ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It's fairly CPU intensive, something you'd run at night or downtime; yet the same thing as as malware detection, if you don't have any, you don't know what it's suppose to do when it finds it.
For windows it's a command window so a redirect to a text file is easy to do; as the only thing reported was "file fine" after each and every file.
It contains the the hashes for what it's looking for, and what virus programs look for, it would show positives. The same thing will happen with a safe key generator, or some debuggers.
Both NVIDIA and AMD have methods of capturing directly on the GPU, making for a blissfully lag-free experience compared to, say, FRAPS.
Hopefully Windows has created a standard interface for these, and not just reimplemented FRAPS.
Nope, it's a service that is required to be running to stream video (NIVIDA), one of four I disable, making FRAPS the program of choice.
EVGA has PrecisionX which will do screen captures or snapshots, I've found disabling PrecisionX stops a lot of video problems, including screen freezings and games just going away, leaving one staring at the desktop.
Additional: I do agree though that removing media center was a dick move. One that seems idiotic given the small devices and the increasingly common appearance of computers in the living room.
Never used Windows media center, had used the PS3 till it quit, now I use a spare laptop and VLC connected to the HDTV, which I control with an very old trackmouse (Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless). The distance the mouse works across is really what makes it all work out. Sure beats streaming to the PS3.
Yeah who wants to bet this can be activated remotely.... Win10 looks like a real joy.. Mandated Updates No MediaCenter Now this Screen Recording Tool . The Exploits are going to be really interesting
Windows screen capture, don't need it, being a gamer I've always had Fraps at the press of a button. I do wonder how this will affect alt+prtscr (only the selected window). As far as I'm aware Fraps has never been exploited. But there is no indication it's recording and I have many games recorded because of that, only when I get an out of disk space do I clue in.
Yet on the other hand, I get some of my better (Youtubeable) selections when reviewing what I hadn't intended to capture.
I actually have a Windows 95 Release Party TShirt
I LOL'd, just yesterday I found and wore my "The ProWriter cometh" tee shirt, (It's been many many years since I have) it came with the very first printer I purchased (dot matrix).
Nope not upgrading.. not now anyway
I'm in the same boat; upgrade, why? All of these updates to make the change from 7 (in my case) to 10 easier - that's just marketing. I plan on buying or other the stand alone CD as I always have. I figure past practice has shown a version updated OS is just a problem, not to mention windows need of a clean install of the OS every 6 months (Win7 has been different, I haven't needed to reinstall yet).

I'm retired and have few outside needs, groceries once a month, and appointments. Two cars, a Mazda MPV I'm working on with little success, and a Chevy truck I gave to my son so he could use going to and from work. Being nothing is close, I saw the bus system as my transportation.
A bike isn't a requirement (and I don't have) but sure makes it easier if one doesn't have too much to carry, a back pack holds what I need. The buses have racks to carry two bikes at a time and a monthly pass is just over $20 (U.S.) - cheap.
While it maintains regular routes, some buses that travel between the cities (and longest routes) do so on the quarter hour, so different times, some even needing to be caught away from the transfer points. There are three cities all within miles of each other, or even a sign marking the boundary where two cities meet. Each city large as this area is still growing at the rate it always has, be it an apartment complex, or a new store (three Walmart super stores are located here).
If one has a constant destination (from home to school and back) the buses work fine, but making different appointments takes planning and 2-3 hours of free time included for transfers and the extra time you give before an appointment (Almost always 30 minutes and up to an hour before is as close to a specific time one can get (here)). The routes and times always changing according to the need. Groceries I don't mess with the buses, calling for a ride for those. My Son did have my truck and felt unduly obligated.
It was too much for me time wise; taking a full day for a Doctor visit, prescriptions filled, and back or even an Eye appointment and back, very few times was more than one need met due to the distances between each. The truck now free I took it back and don't plan on using the buses on a regular basis anymore. For me this could change if more than one or two transportation options were available (overlapping schedules and different routes being covered) but that won't happen here.
There is a Dial-A-Ride option, if you can prove a disability or an inability to reach a bus stop. It's advanced notice and door to door service. I never felt right trying to exercise that option (a couple of miles walk is no big deal for me, a mile the longest I've had to make, as that buses route was temporarily down). A disability isn't defended by law but proof is required or a Doctor's expressed need; a 10-15 page request being sent with the fore mentioned item(s) for approval a prerequisite for Dial-A-Ride.
I can say as one who has tried, free dedicated transportation won't work removing drivers from the road (as the article itself proved), and if so only temporally, yet great for kids and school.

That is not the only alternative design. This above/below pod design fits in more seats while actually increasing personal space. Even economy seats would fully recline.
While that would work for the facing backwards part, the aisle between 2 and 3 defeat the spacing or packing requirement.
This subject showed up in a lot of submissions, but do wonder about the timing; not the immediate future but good enough to cause concern, not far enough in the future to forget about. These cycles coming together for the first time since the 1600's.
Not solar output falling 60%, which would lead to completely frozen Earth, but solar activity, i.e. the 11 year sunspot cycle. Predicting levels near or at those found during the Maunder minimum. This does imply some reduced level of solar output.
About plus or minus 0.1% change in total solar irradiance between solar maximum and solar minimum:
It's not just the solar cycle but two cycles matching each other, the solar cycle and the flipping of the It's magnetic poles. Not about to claim what the Suns output would/will be.
The cynic in me wonders whether that was calculated marketing sleaze as opposed to laziness, maybe they're targeting people who try searching for Game of Thrones. The various app stores all have auto-suggest, so you start typing in "game of" and get other suggestions including Game of War.
