Technically, for many people, their primary computing device has changed from their desktop to their smartphones/tablets.
So, you could make the argument that many people HAVE switched from Windows to Linux (and *nix since IOS is a version of *nix..basically BSD with a Darwin Kernel).
If this results in a mom testifying in front of congress that she received a $10,000 bill from Comcast because her son was playing Fortnite 8 hours a day for 6 weeks then I'm all for it.
Maybe we'll get some legislation outlawing data caps.
Looks like the only reliable cross communication messaging platform (that I can get people like my wife's parents) to actually load on their phones (and no, they are not going to install signal) is going to be SMS.
Hangouts looked like it was something I could get all my android and iphone friends/family to get on board with.
Back to SMS it is..:(
They don't have to give you the product until you give them your tender. If they don't accept physical cash tender than they simply don't give you the product.
I know this will never happen (It's about as likely as adopting Stardates...) but UTC for everybody would solve the problem.
Fact of the matter is, people do things at different times (like eat Breakfast) at different times (actual time, not clock time) around the world. The clock time should reflect that.
I'm a bit biased because I deal with international video conferences and UTC would make things SO MUCH EASIER.
Yea, If I were a big movie star I'd have my face detail mapped when I was young (or immediately to retain as much youth as possible) so that in my later years the accuracy would be there.
I wonder if some big actors are voluntarily doing that yet?
I think it's not unreasonable to find more de-aging being done (like in Ant-Man and the Tron Sequel).
Actors better have good estates that can defend (and license) their likeness because it's going to get easier and easier to replicate them as technology gets better and better.
The money involved would be crazy.
Imagine if Terantino got Clint to do voice over work for a new Spaghetti western style flick where the actor is being played by a stand in that is manipulated by CG to look like Clint from the 60's.
If it was done right and believable people would line up at the theater to see it.
Dear Microsoft,
Thanks for releasing version 2.0 of MS-DOS.
But COME ON. Just release the sources for ALL of the versions of MS-DOS. I can't imagine that the last version of MS-DOS is making THAT much money for you that you couldn't release that as well!
You've got that straight.
Though there are several infrastructure project to fix the Fredericksburg corridor.

I live off of Route 17 so I understand your pain.
I bet somebody from the US Forest service is calling somebody at NOAA asking "So...how did you guys finally deal with people asking you to take care of hurricanes with Nuclear weapons?"
I don't recall secret agents on TV or movies (like IMF members) politely doing software eject on USB drives while on missions. They usually just yank them out (after getting the data they need) before of course escaping with guns blazing....
People hate UTC because then they would have to track what time for instance breakfast is when going somewhere else.
My response to that..is that the time is different because PEOPLE EAT AT A DIFFERENT TIME THAN WHERE YOU ARE FROM!

Actually, there are probably open cases in DOJ about most or all of those.
It's the Verizon/Comcast version of "Unlimited" You can use it any way you like as long as it's how we say.

My wife and I had just about removed all instances from the rokus. It's all gone now. Trust is violated. Not sure how Google gets us back (if ever)
You must hate a huge swath of scifi.....
So if you are in an environment with lots of flies would wearing clothing with black and white stripes help for humans as well?
Try another TLD like .info, I had the same problem but found that my last name was available under .info
Good luck AI. My son loves to just play with Alexa, half the time Alexa can't understand him.

It's not Linux. The Linux Kernel is not run.

Wow Amazon! Big of you to pull a quarter out of your pocket and plink it into the donation jar...

YES! UTC for everybody.
Ellison was a curmudgeon and often acted like a class 1 ass and a jerk. I loved everything he wrote. Rest in peace.
Actually itâ(TM)s not the lack of regulations, itâ(TM)s the lack of GOOD regulations
