I've postedthis before but it's still probably relevant. Basically the US ISP's sell a huge pipe to their customer but the pipe to the internet is saturated 24/7 because they have refused to upgrade their back end.
This is exactly what happens and why companies are so dead set against employees discussing compensation. You have to ask yourself if you want to know and if you're being ripped off are you willing to live with it or walk. If you can't answer those questions it's better not to look.
A little off topic but similar in result. I was working for Compaq when HP took over. HP execs were outraged to find out Toshiba was charging Compaq substantially less for a particular HDD they both sourced.
You are blaming the entire problem on half of those actually responsible. Many scientists today refuse to let facts get in the way of their theories. This stems from many factors. Pressure to produce results, ego, fear of failure. But there is overwhelming evidence the scientific model has been superseded by the trending now model.
From the abstract: "Through this pilot project, Roadtrip Nation will lay the groundwork and provide proof-of-concept for a CS Roadtrip, leveraging a combination of multimedia deliverables, an evidence-based educational curriculum, and dynamic engagement strategies(a triple score!!!) that will provide critical connections between students' natural interests, positive role models who align with those interests, and corresponding CS educational and career pathways. To that end, the CS Roadtrip Pilot will develop up to four student-facing videos that feature the stories of diverse computing professionals, appropriate for on-air, online, and classroom purposes, along with the appropriate Learning Guides."
This sure reads like a marketing pitch at an ISV. This should be part of next week's Dilbert run.
If I paid for a product that did XYZ and then a few months after I purchased it the manufacturer said "If you want to keep using feature Z you must upgrade the firmware. Oh and by the way the new firmware removes feature X." I am well within my rights to be butthurt whether I use X or not. And I have never even attempted to mod my PS3.
The cost of a medallion is a one time cost not a perpetual one. The government only makes money on the original sale. What the Taxi "Owners" (there are very few drivers who can afford a medallion.) are suing over is the resale value of their coveted medallions.
Everyone is so focused on BlackBerry's supposed death spiral due to their loss of market share in the mobile phone arena they forget that BlackBerry isn't a phone company. BlackBerry is a secure mobile communications company. To that end they supply the most stable and secure OS in the medical industry (QNX) and are working with NantHealth to supply an end-2-end secure medical communications system. My first real job in electronics was working for a pacemaker OEM. The device we used to program pacemakers back then was literally a wound coil sending unsecured pulse waves to the device. It's why patients couldn't get near microwaves because a stray pulse from the microwave could wipe the entire program on a pacemaker. NantHealth's system is both robust and secure from the hospital to the medicine cabinet at home.
it has no more trouble installing third party software, accessing the underlying filesystems, or communicating with remote systems than a Windows system.
YET!
Have you tried creating a local account on Windows 10? Microsoft has made it damn near impossible and then nag you to death about the advantages of one of their shiny Microsoft online accounts. Microsoft tried to create the walled garden with RT and it failed so now they are using the slowly bring the water to a boil method of gently getting users used to requiring an account. Since Apple is the king of walled garden systems you can bet they are watching this experiment closely and will soon "invent" it on OS X.
Your requests doesn't mention cost but since you mentioned RP I suspect it's tight. However going cheap isn't always the least cost option. Unless of course your time is worth nothing. I have worked in an environment using ClearCube Blade center PC's doing PCoIP to Zero Clients (No OS on client) and it worked really well. We needed high power systems so we had dedicated blade PC's in a 2U backplane but they offer VDI solutions if your needs are more modest. You basically plug an Ethernet cable (Fiber is also available) and power into the client. The CD9742 is a quad DVI client so it meets your intended use goals.
OS/2 has never been out of commission. It hasn't been a mainstream desktop for a while but government and banks were still using it as a desktop until recently. And bank ATM's were predominantly OS/2 until recently as well. Now I'm not sure from this story but if they are going back to an old Warp 4.x kernel then yeah it's been a long time.
Instead of fighting illegal immigration and police corruption in Mexico. The U.S. needs to bight the bullet and annex Mexico already. Mexico is like the weird uncle by marriage. He's odd and overtly inappropriate at times but he's family. And if the military tries to fight us we know we can pay most of them to switch sides.
There are several 64 bit variants available compiled from Firefox source. I have been using WaterFox for a couple of years as my daily browser. It's usually about two weeks behind official FireFox releases.
Yeah, they had a joint venture with Suzuki I believe it was where their ECM was being used in some cross branded vehicles and they didn't want Suzuki reverse engineering their circuit. What's funny is back then the whole thing was a few logic gates and some FETs to drive the fuel injectors. Nothing like what goes into them today.

Thanks for that. I had a good chuckle.
I forgot to mention arrogance but you covered that for me.

MSBC presents less factually based content than any other cable news channel.

So installing a rootkit is OK but listening to you is not. Got it!
Oh look a troll with a Facebook logon!

BTW it was the Air Force that built the cluster.

I knew this was going to happen the moment that teenage chic on the episode of Blindspt last week started dissing the FBI chic over using PHP.

RedHat already did that. They added systemD.

I'm sure there are others I'm not aware of.

The allergies are so bad where I live meth dealers have been turning meth back into pseudoephedrine.
Amazon hasn't ever made a significant profit. What point am I trying to make? I have no idea but it's an important one!
Keep drinking the kool-aid
iOS users are definitely not safe
