Since MS replaced IE with Edge and Edge isn't even remotely feature complete, buggy and extremely crash prone, it's no wonder people are rushing to alternatives.
Firefox has all but given up trying to improve. That leaves Chrome and a plethora of browsers that use the Chrome rendering engine. We're going to see a one browser internet here pretty soon.
On Windows, I use PaleMoon. On iOS, Safari. On Android, Chrome. There is Opera as well. How are we getting to a monopoly?
Maybe it's time for DOJ to start taking a closer look at Google. They're using their browser quasi-monopoly to push a lot of other products and services.
What's the quasi monopoly? On my laptop, I have Chrome, IE, Edge, Firefox and Pale Moon. And there is Opera as well. And Safari, if one is talking about Macs or iOS. If you're thinking about phones or tablets, there are plenty of other browsers for those as well.
27% of microsoft users don't know how to install a program. Err sorry I mean app appiity app.
Pretty irrelevant as far as this story goes, since both IE and Edge are pre-installed on every Windows that comes, and AFAIK, they are impossible to remove
Methinks they should look at automating the back end - the cooking, the food processing and so on. The ordering kiosks are fine, but if there is a barrage of orders, that can be overwhelming on the cooks. Instead, have an order to delivery system where the customer customizes and orders the meal, which is then received by the kitchen and they deliver that beer battered fish w/ french onion soup and baked fries instead of either french fries or mashed potatoes.
That's North Korean. China had something called Red Flag Linux, but that fell out of favor, and now, the Chinese use whatever Linux distros are out there, just like everybody else.
Olsoc's #2) above deals w/ your scenarios. If I get calls from my bank, credit cards or doctor, I do answer the call or call back. But I get a lot of calls from people who thought they were calling someone else, and also, robocalls have increased. I know that robocalls have emerged b'cos more people are afraid of being rebuffed on the phone - sometimes rudely, sometimes not, but if I get a robocall, I hang up. Most irritating are the robocalls that pretend to be a live person - the one where a female voice says, after a pause 'I'm sorry, I was talking to my husband' and then goes on to tell me about the cruise to FL. Which doesn't even make sense, given that 'she' was the one who called, not I
I thought that Moore's law was specific to transistors, so bumping up the core count doesn't affect it.
But response to the OP's one word answer - physics, a second one would be logic/math. As others have pointed out, not only can't all algorithms be parallelized, but also, there is a limit to how much parallelism can be extracted from any operation. Like if you are running a program that has 4 processes or threads running, having a 16 core CPU won't help you. That's different from just jacking up the clock frequency, where there is nothing that revving up the GHz can't do
Uh, Bangalore is not in Bangladesh. FWIW, I was being facetious and suggested that since Uber seems to think little about the need for their customers to understand their drivers. You are a complete idiot for not reading that
Are you talking about the HP9000 servers? B'cos as far as the Wintel servers went, I don't recall HP being among the top - that used to be IBM, DEC, Compaq and Dell
Sounds like one of those Microsoft Windows Phone 8 devs, who would make web app wrappers around sites, and have them masquerade as apps, when all they were doing was opening a new tab in Internet Explorer
As a kid, my parents would constantly torture me by pointing out the other achieving kids who outperformed me in school. Now, my parents are in their 80s, so it would be fun to show this to them and then give them the third degree about why they haven't developed all the apps that are missing from the stores }:-)
Actually, she deserves praise for pulling off what she did, regardless of her age or gender
That said, from/. POV, I think that since she's both, a combination of the two. This is a gold mine - when you have a person meeting multiple diversity checkboxes, thereby enabling just one person to be praised for multiple things. Imagine a Black Lesbian Trannie who developed an automatic appmaker on her own. Not only would it be a remarkable feat, but Blacks, Lesbians and Trannies would all get to celebrate.
Trump won, but his coattails are questionable, and I say this as someone who supports Trump over the GOP. Like in NC, the first candidate who ran in a primary linking her name to his, lost. Similarly, in AZ, Kelly Wirt lost to John McCain, despite it being an open secret of how Trump's last minute endorsement of the latter was more due to Priebus putting pressure on him
In the Congress, the Republicans can claim that they won. Like in the senate races, 2 of the Republicans who distanced themselves from Trump - Kelly Ayotte and another candidate from IL - lost, but other GOP senators and congressmen who ran despite distancing themselves from Trump due to the Access Hollywood tapes, not only won, but won convincingly. The GOP successfully defended every senate seat, but failed to win a few, like Harry Reid's, while in the house, they lost around 5, when they were expected to lose a lot more.
As for CPAC, Trump skipped it last year, and was the star this year, b'cos he came out w/ an even more convervative cabinet than Reagan - forget the Bushes. That, as well as his EOs. If one wins the way he did, one gets to redefine what's Conservative, and what's not.
I have seen Bernie Goldberg make the argument that what media organizations do is simple bias, while fake news is stuff like Pizzagate. Except that media organizations make up stuff out of whole cloth, like the report about trannie suicides going thru the roof since Trump became president.
I'm actually glad that by slamming the MSM as fake news, Trump has blurred the lines b/w your average Michael Moore type of guy manufacturing stories out of whole cloth, vs the MSM doing it. Both have intentions to mislead, and both due to the same reason: their bias.
States do have Secretaries of State, but their role is not foreign policy, the way a John Kerry or a Rex Tillerson would have. The state Secretaries of State are more of custodians of record.

Unless you have Windows 10 Bing Edition, where any browser will be reset w/ Bing as the search engine

As an aside, which Congo are we talking about here? French Congo or Belgian Congo (the bigger country that was formerly known as Zaire)?
Oddly enough, China is not a member of NAFTA. It's their WTO membership that's screwing much of the world
I thought that Brother has had better quality printers than HP. At least, their all in ones have.

Maybe Uber should redo their rules so that any passenger who wants to use their ride must have a working knowledge of Urdu or Bangladeshi.
And that's where Ruby Receptionists come in!

One compelling difference b/w the 2 - not that it counts to everyone who wants to see a moral equivalence:
- Pence archived all his emails, so any investigator who wants to look into that and draw conclusions is at liberty to do so
- Hilary deleted some 33k emails of hers, after being subpoena'ed to preserve them, including any emails about the Clinton Foundation.
In other words, no cover up attempt in one case, vs a desperate cover up attempt in the other
