Try Australia - unless you have the NBN (*Government Business Enterprise* funded fibre) a business fibre connection is $1,200+ (yes over one thousand dollars) per *month*, thats for around 20/20. 1GB isn't even available.
Private enterprise has completely failed telcoms in Oz. Labor stared a visionary fibre to the home infrastructure project but the LNP/Murdock killed it.
How does this impact me or most other people in any significant way? I don't think it does.
I'll get modded down because this is an unpopular question to ask. But it needs to be asked. Shouldn't we put our resources to better use, like stopping global warming? Can anyone give me a good answer? I'm doubting it.
No you'll be modded down because its an idiotic question to ask, not mention flamebait.
And learn from it. Secure your networks, introduce user training, a decent enterprise virus checker and lock down PC's. Also setup a disaster recovery system.
We got hit by a rootkit ransom ware virus a couple of years ago and I admit our virus checking and control of user pc's was piss poor - it took out nearly everything, proved impossible to remove without destroying the pc setups.
Fortunately we had virtualised all our workstations a year before (Proxmox Cluster - kvm) and had full image backups of everything with a 6 month rolling history, plus online data backups. We were able to rollback the whole cluster two months and restore data from online. Took a weekend but saved our bacon.
Since then we have rolled out webroot to all the VM's and forced firewalls plus windows defender via group policy. Haven't had a problem since.
Just the way you support your scum bag government which bombs civilians at will round the world and destabilises legitimate governments. Which makes *you* a legitimate target.
Xamarin provides a rich mobile development offering that enables developers to build mobile apps using C#
Oh. Here I thought that Xamarin was specifically intended as an alternative to Microsoft's proprietary implementation of C#. Oh, well, shows what I know. I guess we've always been at war with Eastasia.
You thought wrong. Xamarin (and MonDevelop) are IDE's + libs for the.NET platform, on windows or mono. Additionally Xamarin enable creation of cross platform mobile apps using C# I presume underneath its Mono on Android and iPhone.

"And why haven't terrorists used large passenger planes successfully for killing thousands by collapsing multibillion dollar landmarks such as the Twin Towers or the Pentagon, if there's such a risk from them?"
Actually a number of people were considering exactly those scenarios, including Tom Clancy and the people who warned Bush (who ignored the warnings).
deduplication takes an insane amount of RAM and is really only useful for static rarely written datasets, its strongly recommended against for VM images.
OTOH enabling lz4 compression is recommended - cpu/ram usage is minimal and the compression levels can be quite impressive, plus it can actually improve disk i/o as less data is read/written from disk. I have many VM's with compression enabled, compression usually reduces the image by about 30%
Not quite - zfs needs to contact the destination zfs fs to compare with the last snapshot, but that is a very quick process. Once done zfs already knows whats blocks have changed since the last snapshot, whereas rsync has to scan the contents of each file at *both* ends which is where all the time comes in.
Word. I'm deeply distressed that KDE seems to be going down this path. Flat widgets, low washed out contrast, tiny fonts, reduced options. Possibly the most butt ugly default wallpaper in the history of wallpapers. The ridiculous rebranding/renumber of libs/apps/plasma, so no one can figure out what version of what they have.
The moment you try to engage with any of the devs/designers re this, no matter how tactfully, they become very hostile. Its pointless
I keep retrying with new releases, but can't tolerate it.
But not Islam - Muslims were literally dancing in the streets on 9/11.
Bullshit - video of an entirely different celebration repackaged for western propaganda. That you and other various cretins still spout that nonsense along with crap such as "Iran called for Israel to be wiped off the map" (never said) os a sad indictment of the critical thinking skills of the typical slashdot/libtard reader.
Me to, I'd love to know these alternatives too, since I'm setting up extra storage for a VM Cluster. The checksumming is a must. Easy addition of drives for mirrors and spanning as well. Simple integration of SSD caches too. And a large set of logical easy management tools.

I think I'll go watch some Space1999 now...
For a *really* cheesy English 70's series its aged very well. Have the DVD Box set. Always wanted my own Eagle for commuting to work.

But my Cerebellum committed suicide half way through.

Well Optus have a 50GB plan but its speed capped to 12 Mbps.

Unless they get a call center in Kentucky. Now that would be irony! :)
And no, "You'll know it when you see it" isn't enough,
I foresee an uptick in cases of children being ripped from their parents because Mummy or Daddy took a picture of their child playing in the pool.
Also there is no such thing as a :"Queue" or a "Queue Jumper"
Should be entertaining.
nature's nutrient CO2.
Please, shut yourself in a room full of "Natures Nutrient" and survive on that.
buried and managed for the next million years
Also, learn some basic physics. And the meaning of the word "Hyperbole"
If by "no one" and "anyone" you mean "all the other kids in my parents basement", then yes, you are probably right. If none of them are gamers.

Which you completely blew when you referred to meddling with "the natural order"
So a Windows phone is somehow going to be better?
Yes, updates are direct from MS rather than the carrier.
And personally I find the interface a lot nicer than the android one.
"Only Android devices are affected, iOS users are safe"
Ah, Android, is there anything you don't fail at?
Windows phone - regular updates direct from MS and a lot smoother than the laggy Android experience.

I forgot to mention transparent and fast compression, that actually speeds up disk reads/writes.
