Does not matter. Just like Thai laws, for instance, don't apply within the US, US laws do not apply in any country outside the US or its territories. Don't matter what lofty principles they are based on
My experience w/ Charter was pretty good. Never had any issues. Comcast has been okay - don't have cable from them, but internet speeds are often spotty.
Should the generation of cryptocurrency be the function of a graphics card? I thought that a graphics card's purpose is to process the various graphics operations so that they get optimal performance in the latest and greatest displays, such as 4K
For something like cryptocurrency, why not have dedicated DSPs that one can plug into the PCI-E slot of a motherboard? Or, if it's to be hooked to a laptop, have an add-on module that can be connected via Superspeed USB, and have the laptop kick off operations to the module and then go about its own business, while the module continues generating money for whichever entity.
That's what I was wondering. Almost all the apps I use are free (only one I ever purchased was Monopoly), and I never upgrade to the paid pro edition that many advertize. Usually, whatever limitations they build into the free ones, I live w/.
I think the reason they call it app is that it's a lot more limited in functionality, often free/cheap, and can quickly be installed/uninstalled. An application, by contrast, like Microsoft Office or Autocad or Adobe Suite costs quite a bit of money and often comes in multiple DVDs or a USB drive, and takes a while to install/uninstall. Very often, the apps are just extracts of websites, w/ the browser itself removed. Like one could go to wellsfargo.com on one's laptop browser, or one could open up the Wells Fargo app on a phone or tablet. That's the equivalence in terms of functionality.
The reason was that the overwhelming majority of the customers didn't give a crap, didn't replace the battery, and the overwhelming number of devices were replaced due to catastrophic failure or due to not being trendy anymore
Maybe in the US, where free or heavily discounted phones were often dangled in front of customers in exchange for 2 year contracts. That's not how it's done in other countries, where people do have the habit of replacing their phone batteries. Of course, what this means is that only the richest people in other countries would go for such phones.
No, they were encouraged by the Jordanians & Egyptians to leave. The Jews who were there had bought land from them at above market prices in the period b/w the world wars. After the war, the case for a Jewish state was stronger than ever, and some Arabs there left at the urging of the leaders of Jordan & Egypt. Since then, generations have passed and their families have settled in other Arab countries, but due to the desire to keep the issue alive, the Arab League forbade members from granting them citizenship, so that they could be used as a political issue against the existence of Israel as a Jewish state. Otherwise, most of the people are descendants of those Arabs, and have more connections w/ the countries where they've lived, rather than Judea, Samaria or Gaza
There are Jews of all races. Israel is based on Judaism the religion, not on sephardic and hasidic races. So they have all races of Jews, and have all the racial & ethnic diversity that they need. Only thing to check - whether they have the thought diversity that's needed to produce the talent that they need
Why would non religious gentiles wanna immigrate there? And when people talk about those difficulties, they are talking about Pali resettlement into Israel. Palis left Israel in the 1960s, and by now should have integrated into whichever countries they fled to, so they have no business asking Israel to reabsorb them
Not too long ago, I read about high unemployment in an Israeli town that hosts a couple of Intel fabs, despite the high skill of workers there.
Given all the people Israel is getting from aliya, can't they channel a whole bunch of them into STEM? Also, since the biggest influx has been from Russia and Eastern European countries, shouldn't they get a good supply of STEM graduates already?
You may well be right, but from a business perspective, if their last phone was something that caused them untold losses both financial and reputational, wouldn't 'repair' have been one of the things they'd have built into this new phone? Which would mean allowing a battery replacement and letting customers use it as long as they like? Reason companies have removed the replaceable batteries is that it would allow customers who are happy w/ previous versions of the phone to just replace the battery when the phone dies
One of the marketing reasons given, since the above real reason wouldn't fly, was that it enabled the device to be waterproof, which previous phone designs weren't. Uh, usually, if I'm caught in the rain, the phone is in my pocket: I don't get on the phone & start yakking unless I'm either in a building, or in the car. I don't take a shower w/ it, nor do I go swimming w/ it. I do suspect that most people are like me in this aspect, and the percentage of people who would want to wash their phones in that manner are in single figures. So if Apple or Samsung had to come out w/ phones that people could take a swim in, they could have produced niche phones, but left mainstream ones alone.
The real problem is that just as Intel & Microsoft discovered that a good enough past product was the biggest impediment to their newest offering, Apple, Samsung & the others saw that as well, and so decided to make their product non upgradable so that people get forced to buy replacements. If people who were satisfied w/ the iPhone 5s were able to replace the battery whenever it died, they'd never need to upgrade to a 6 or 7 or 8. Likewise w/ Samsung. However, those people would be forced to upgrade if their battery died, they couldn't replace it and the 5s was out of circulation. That's why these phone designs are as rigid as they are.
I'm glad that the right to repair is gaining traction. Sometimes, if I don't need the new features of a new phone, but just a storage upgrade to my existing one or a new battery, I do appreciate not being forced to buy a new phone. In fact, the ones I now have should theoretically last forever, w/ their 128GB storage and all.
One more thing: I could use an iPad keyboard that had a separate numeric keypad on the right: I absolutely must have that, or typing is really uncomfortable
Is Sunderland more interested in the kernel, or userland utilities? If the latter, then you're right. If the former, then this thing uses neither: it uses XNU, which is a few steps up from NEXTSTEP which was a couple of decades ago
Hence my suggestion below - put both Macs & iPads on the same CPU - the A series, so that people can buy Macs and enjoy all the native iOS apps that are out there. OS X should remain the OS, but now would have the capability of running those native. That way, the same apps would work in laptop as well as tablet environments
Apple needs to converge them: base them all on their A series line of CPUs, so that OS X and iOS run the same software. Then introduce touch screens on some (but not all) of their Macs, so that they have a complete lineup.
Honestly, I don't see the point of the pro. I bought a mini w/ 128GB of storage, and am perfectly happy w/ it.
Except that those words do not apply to people outside the jurisdiction of the US government. Try telling fatty Kim that all men are created equal, and that he should give his people enough real food to eat so that they don't have to pretend that grass is a vegetable. Everything about the US constitution applies only to people already in America
Oh, so 'hacking minds' is now a reason to throw into question the legitimacy of the election? That's something that the Soviets, before the Russians, used to do back in the 80s - call on Americans to vote out leaders like Reagan. Never worked then. Why today are Americans more receptive to Russian influences than they were in the 80s?
Translation: I can't refute you on the point you made, so I'll pull something right out my ass and prove you wrong that way
The politician they supposedly didn't like was Hilary Clinton, not Russ Feingold or Evan Bayh or any other Dem candidate. And to topple her, they'd have had to rig the results in multiple battleground states - FL, OH, NC, IA, WI, MI and PA. So the Russians would have had to rig at least 6 of them for their supposed stooge.
Did they hack the election? That's the sob story that we've been subjected to since Nov 9th from everybody - Hilary Clinton on downwards. In fact, even you make that claim in a manner you claim I wouldn't understand
I'd get the point if you're talking about hardware that's very different from the host hardware. Like if you were talking about a Solaris/SPARC VM on a Windows Server. But in the case of Chromebooks, the hardware is a feature subset of the host: it's usually an Atom based netbook running ChromeOS. So the hardware should be rather trivial to duplicate on the VM, even if the OS is very different.

I agree. Why can't they just take SteamOS, and make their computers gaming platforms? Load it up w/ something like LX/QT or Razor/qt or something.

Can't cryptocurrencies be mined in the cloud, so that one can mine them, then move them to whatever expense accounts one needs?

They can do something like Windows 10 - make it iOS when used in touchscreen mode, and OS X when used w/ a keyboard/mouse.

You forgot Singapore. I've heard they're pretty good
Prominent OS in Russia? Isn't it ReactOS? At any rate, I've noticed a few Russians in the dev list for TrueOS
Russia hasn't been Communist for now 25 years
