I think a iZombie Jobs presentation would be awesome to watch. see him start chewing on tim cooks head as the crowd screams. if only there were an app for that.
Jews and Christians DON"T riot, attack embassies, and kill people entirely uninvolved over a "sacrilegious" youtube video. Jews and Christians might maybe complain in a letter to the editor or post a nasty comment. Perfect example is southpark. if they were that thin skinned the creators of south park would have died a long time ago.
These morons are killing innocent people because someone was being offensive on the INTERNET. We are just lucky that the Muslims have never discovered 4chan.
sounds like the old mainframe vs x86 commodity server argument. small mobile tech will take the place of much of the current PC's because grandma doesn't need a PC to check email, facebook, play solitaire, and watch netflix, but the PC won't disappear just like the mainframe didn't disappear because it still has many more use's. in fact there are more mainframes sold per year now then there were in the pre-PC era. what we will see come from this will be a continuation of the trend toward less and less expensive hardware at lower power. facebook for example is trying to move to arm based server farms to decrease their energy costs.
FTP which on windows workstations is handled, by default, by IE and to get a ftp client like filezilla you will probably use a browser, - chicken vs egg
or you could pop out the old linux disk and have any non IE/safari browser you want with a simple apt-get install, or simply while live booted grab the windows version of Firefox, Chrome, Konquerer, Opera, Seamonkey, elinks, whatever copy it you your windows partition reboot into windows install the new browser set all web related stuff to be handled by the new browser and kiss IE goodbye.*
*until the next windows update when it resets the default program for hyperlinks to IE again.
Oh, I'm sure they'll offer a "business class" of service for those needing to work from home. You'll pay a lot more, but at least you will have unrestricted (as long as it's legal. No hacking allowed, etc.) access and bandwidth to use. Generally that's the case with all business class offerings.
What if your job is pen testing will they ban you for hacking/cracking then?
well most distros are aimed at difrent targets or are built for a specific perpose
debain - is for people who want free in every since of the word and stable ubuntu and mint - are for average users redhat oracle and suse - are for the back room server and enterprises cent - is for people that don't want to pay for redhat fendora - is for redhat people that want a desktop tiny core linux, and danm small linux, and puppy - are for people with limited space, ram or live boots gentoo and linux from scratch - are for Sadomasochists/dev(they are the same thing right)/performance junkies arch - see gentoo but not everything else - pretty much niche, old/dead, research or wanabies or for people that refuse to let very very old hardware go to waste
if you want a 800 number to call and yell at because your Linux computer is not working you could go with any of a number of commercial distro's (redhat, suse,oracle) or any of a number of other firms that will provide support for non commercial distros (canonical). In fact debain keeps a page devoted to paid consultancy firms around the world that will let you scream at them for a set rate $ per hour. http://www.debian.org/consultants/
he probably means it will be crap because it will be broken to the point it looses all of it advantages just to help dumb people. just look at the backlash at the gnome3 guys or th unity devs, they made "user friendly" gui's aimed straight at the average Joe six-pack that were nearly complete trash that no one liked. To gain market share by changing the workings is ridiculous. Average Joe is already happy with his windows/OSX box and does not want to switch (at least until he sees windows 8 than he might look around (unfortunately he will probably be looking around for a copy of seven or xp)) And breaking our system will not make him want to come to ours, so all you would be doing is alienating your current user base. what Linux needs to do to get mainline support is; get games, better graphics drivers, improved wine/virtualization+direct3d acceleration, fix what ever the hell is wrong with the audio, quit fearing drm to the point it keeps us from getting streamed media, not yell "thats not free code at newbies" and get commercial distros to target niche software markets. while thats seems like a lot most of it is easily doable.
audio isn't fixed because most non-phone embedded doesn't need it, and servers don't need it and that is where most Linux development is. wine is chasing a moving target so will never work completely, but virtualization is getting better all of the time already, hell on osx vmware has direct 3d working via vmware fusion line, they could probably have that on Linux if they really wanted to. Games are on their way just look in the ubuntu software center and you can find some EA games (lords of ultima for example) and valve is working on porting their portion of steams catalog and the steam client to linux. while they are at it valve is working to the graphics driver situation and improving performance. linux desktop despite the craptastic gui's of late is doing better than ever. and will atract people as it get better.
I did just that right after I read your post it took me about six clicks but I am using mixed and matched DE with bit from gnome xfce kde ubuntu and mate so mine results may be different than the norm, because i have the monitors setting penned to my panel for switching between multiple monitors (hd television screen) to single laptop monitor.
lets hope that some annons start filing take downs of all political speachs and ads the election season that would get them to fix the dmca takedown system really fast.
(note i am not suggesting anyone do this.( just in case it does and is tracked back to me))
or hypothetically file take downs for ALL political speeches for the rest of the election season, then it will hurt those in power. Those people WILL fix it then.
Neil Gaiman, did create that content it was what he was being given the reward for. Obviously being the creator is not enough to be protected from take down of your own content. the system is broken. It needs rebooted, put our original copyright terms back with added explicit fair use rights, and painful penalties for erroneous takedowns.
yeah I'm sure thats what the Hugo Awards want to associate themselves with, besides I think that even they have limits on what type of content is posted so as to insure that people find what they want there, aka porn only. The Hugo's would be best off hosting the stream on their own site on maybe something along the lines of a amazon ec2 instance so it can handel all of the requests.

yeah you can write the code on it try compiling it on devise though... oh wait.

+5 insightful to you sir
exactly my first thought, it looked like a bunch of corporate buzzwords and clickbait. Did a actual person write this or a HR/marketing troll?

so a script that simply creates a copy of itself when executed? not all that impressive.
Eventually bad shit will happen. Eventually, someone might actually get a model that accurately predicts it.
Except once knowledge of the accurate model is wide spread it will change the outcome events, in sort of a societal uncertainty principle.
The fart app I great but I perfer the police siren app when your a passangger and you pass a cop you can have lots of fun.
gerrr slashdot killed my less than sign.
$2.50 == 250c
250 cents \ 31 days != $0.1

*Linux damn spell check
Linus is free. Support isn't necessarily. It hasn't lost that edge just ask redhat.
because we all now there is only one use case.
well most distros are aimed at difrent targets or are built for a specific perpose
debain - is for people who want free in every since of the word and stable /performance junkies
ubuntu and mint - are for average users
redhat oracle and suse - are for the back room server and enterprises
cent - is for people that don't want to pay for redhat
fendora - is for redhat people that want a desktop
tiny core linux, and danm small linux, and puppy - are for people with limited space, ram or live boots
gentoo and linux from scratch - are for Sadomasochists/dev(they are the same thing right)
arch - see gentoo but not
everything else - pretty much niche, old/dead, research or wanabies or for people that refuse to let very very old hardware go to waste

they would simply have some mechanical turk or equivalent call the number or read the captcha.
