There's probably technical reasons for this but I am sure they also don't mind the ability to get greater visibility of the store and additional revenue.
I thought the whole point of the data caps was to compete with Netflix and other streaming services. Obviously their services would get a free pass on the limits.
The problem is if they are stupid, the extension showing probably wouldn't make a difference. I think technical people are more annoyed by that setting because they realize that even though something is an image it could be an executable or something else.
Likely not going to happen, because MS is going for more control not less. You now have forced AV, forced updates. (By the way you should be able to disable everything including Windows updates through group policy.) Once they get everyone on the same OS it saves them money in supporting/maintaining Windows. Also they get a cut of all revenue for Windows Store Apps. It also can help them to enhance mobile where they're struggling. They have more builtin security so it enhances the security of the Windows ecosystem. It's easy to see why they're aggressively pushing W10.
Sounds like social engineering. There may be a technical glitch but I think it's more likely MS has engineered the install Windows 10 dialog in such a way that it is difficult to refuse.
Unfortunately a lot of people without medical problems also have bad reaction times and shouldn't be driving also but don't realize it. If a person has to drive so slowly to be able to maintain control they actually create a hazard and shouldn't be driving.
It drives me crazy when a driver will suddenly press their brakes for no reason. Traffic could be reduced if people followed some basic principles. Don't press your brakes unless you're going to stop. If you need to slow down take your foot of the accelerator. Maintain safe following distances. Don't weave in and out of traffic.
Drive with the flow of traffic.
People tend to mixup programming and computer science. There's a reason the degree isn't called programming. Programming in some ways is a byproduct of computer science. Basically the applied science. Computer science is focused more on the science and theory of computation. Understanding what problems are solvable and the best ways to solve them. Software engineering is also something different.
And CS is not only programming it is also about inquiring customers, deriving requirements, features, planning, software design, combined with topics like continuous integration and delivery, software evolution, product lines, version control, documentation (real documentation not the shit most people write which contains the same information as the code) etc.
And you should understand the application domains you code for.
I think you're mixing up CS with software engineering. CS degrees generally don't cover those things in detail. That's the kind of thing you mostly learn on the job.
That's pretty much the definition of cargo cult programming. If you have to cleanup after some cargo cult programmers it can be frustrating. The code may have seemed to work but then when the codebase changes it stops working or creates new problems.
Of course cause that knowledge is always easily remembered. Unless your creating standard libraries probably not. I will agree, thought, that the interview shouldn't be your first introduction to computer science fundamentals.
They typically don't allow you to use std library functions on those questions. That's why it's a good idea to refresh up on your sorting algorithms before the interview.
If drivers were more disciplined there wouldn't be as much slack space needed. I wish more drivers could figure out how to drive at the minimum following distance and only press brakes when necessary. Alot of times taking the foot of the accelerator is good enough to slow down. I don't think many drivers understand what effect their actions has on the traffic around them.
Their doing their part to increase PC sales. How else can you increase new PC games without having software that requires the newest and fastest hardware?
I use plain cruise control all the time and it's pretty much useless because no one knows how to maintain a constant speed. I am all for more self-driving cars.

Never heard of Internet2?
It would have been cheaper for Google to just have bought Sun. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Oracle would use Java for patent trolling.

There's a solution for the endless loop if you use adblock plus that blocks the checking code.
Which EULA? Windows 7? I am find it hard to believe MS can upgrade users without getting them to accept the Win10 EULA.
I kind of side of with the beta testers. With all the telemetry, MS built into Win10 the tester probably felt MS was already getting all the feedback.
Exactly. It's the system call that kills the performance. Any decent kernel cache will have the data cached and even read-ahead in the background.

In the same way a child/moose can't get in front of a car in 0 time. The car should begin deceleration before the object can get in front.

What's helped me is to realize the lesser than looks like an L.

Sure tap water is drinkable, but the taste is usually the reason people buy bottle water or filter it.
There's better support for this scenario in the latest Visual Studio. Unfortunately it greatly increases the size of your pdbs.
