Why is ZFS such a huge advantage for a home user? It uses a lot of RAM and many features are just not needed for anything less than a massive NAS/SAN. Sure a 787 is great and has a lot of features but it just is not good from running down to the local grocery store.
Not going to happen and if it does guess what? It will be hoards of followers being exploited by some charismatic leader. The would end up being worse off than before. See Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Hitler for reference.
Publix is the same except they never did have any self service isles. Publix is a great store and has been for decades. You walk up to any employee and ask them where something is and more often than not they stop what they are doing and walk you right to it. When you go in if any cashers are not checking someone out they are standing right at the front of the checkout isle looking for people to check out.
1. They are not working for free. 2. Raising the wage increases the motivation to automate. 3. Why all the fuss? Do you us ATMs and online banking? Do you know how many tellers you have put out of work? When automation actually provides a better user experience it is going to happen.
Yes, it was going to happen. Why? Because having to check out is a bad user experience. I do not want to wait in line at the store. I also do not want to wait for the waitress to bring my check, take my card, and bring back my check? Does this mean that people must go unemployed? Not really the staff can be used to keep the shelves stocked, the store clean, and help customers find products. As to complaints that the minimum wage is not enough to raise a family? You are right it is not and was never meant to be. You are supposed to make minimum wage when you are in school or if you have no skills. It is supposed to be enough for one person to survive on or to supplement a spouses income. Frankly, the service that I get from minimum wage workers is already so bad that I do not see the point in increasing it.
No, you are wrong. The police went in after being told that someone had MURDERED his father and was holding his mother and sister hostage. The police went in with the intention of saving the hostages and a male walked out the door and they made a mistake. Had the call been real the officer would have been a hero. The intent of the SWATER was to commit a felony for money and or the LOLs. The officer should lose his job the SWATER should go to jail for a very long time.
The XBOX One + Connect was one of Microsoft's missed opportunities. It could have been an ideal smart home hub as well as a game system. It had very good voice control as well as the motion sensing. The Xbox has standard USB ports so you could have added any interface you wanted to it for home control. Add in the fact that they never really made it a viable Roku competitor for video or ever got a good music service going and it just becomes so sad. Kind of like WindowsPhone which was a good OS but lacked apps. Mainly Google Apps. What can I say if you have a phone OS it makes sense to support people with more market share than you do but not less. Hense Apple supporting iTunes on Windows and Google support iPhone.
Simple OpenOffice and Libre Officer are just not nearly as good as Microsoft Office. I use Linux every day for work but I also have a Windows PC just for Office and Skype for Business, Google Docs, OpenOffice, and Libre Office are just not as good as Microsoft Office. Until it is it people will use OS/X and Windows.
Pretty much. One of the worst to hit FL was in the 1920s. If you point to a hurricane and scream climate change you are an idiot. If you point to a bad winter and say look global warming is a fraud your an idiot. PS this Post is coming to you from South East Florida, Irma is so annoying. On the West Coast and Keys it is terrible.
I think you are mistaken. He supported Pascal and Modula-2 over c because he felt they were safer languages. C++ smart pointers and other new features show that he was probably on to something. He was not a programmer and never claimed to be. He did write some software in S-Basic for CP/M. He was very pro CP/M, Apple, and Atari but did not like Commodore at all. He had his biases like most of us. He would call the Apple bomb error message whimsical but the Amiga Guru meditation error childish. I think that it had to do with Commodore not being a West Coast company so he didn't have any personal connection to it. He would review lots of software and hardware from a users point of view and was always fun to read. BTW I make my living as a C++ programmer and I have used C for a long time. I like them both but they are not for the faint of heart and frankly, if you write an accounting system in it you are doing it wrong.
I wonder how many people said that but replaced Nazi with Jew.
I really do not like the KKK, Neo Nazis, regular Nazis, people that called for G. W. Bush's death, shoot up a bunch of Republican senators, or vilified president Obama. Truth is that as a register they should not have to option to refuse any domain that is not breaking the law. The real truth is that GoDaddy and Google are getting a ton of free publicity by doing this. It makes them look like good guys. However, it is also giving this tiny website that almost no one has ever heard about a lot of free publicity and probably drove up their hits to infinity and beyond.
You do realize that it was a gun toting Sanders supporter that opened fire on a bunch of Republicans playing baseball. http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/... You're holier than thou attitude is every bit as much of the problem. The Democrats put up just about the only person on the planet that could not beat Donald Trump.
"The White House and most if not all Senators and Congressmen have web pages for many years and have never given up the right to control what goes on them." Except this is a twitter feed. The president does not own it. "Free speech does not mean that the government has to publish whatever you want to say. When the president gives a speech he does not have to give up the microphone to you." Except the president has given the mike to people and then jerked it away from anyone that says something he does not like. If he banned everyone that would be difffernt
When he uses it to publish public statements about policy then it is an official communications channel. He is the highest official in the land and is using it to communicate with the public.
Why bother? Just use and FPGA to clone it. The real project at this point IMHO is getting gcc and glibc running on it. I doubt many users will want write software in PL/1 for it.
No, you are wrong. Men, in general, need to grow up and act like men and not teenage boys. Sure I notice beautiful women when I see them but I keep my mouth shut and treat them with respect. Just because they are pretty does not mean they can not be brilliant at their jobs. It also doesn't mean that they can not be friends and trusted co-workers.
In other words, learn to act like a gentleman and not like an oversexed teenager or I am sorry to say like the current president of the the US.
So are solar paved roads and sidewalks. Bridges with wind turbines, and putting water turbines in water mains. My theory is that people make up stuff like this to get funding to study it and if that fails to put it into a book about brilliant ideas for the future. AKA see flying cars.
Yes, there should. The classic yelling fire in a crowded theater is a good example. Asking someone to commit murder is another example. In this case, each nation has a different history and culture. The US has a very different history when it comes to Nazi's and antisemitism than many European nations. We allow Neo-Nazis to say the trash that they say because we believe that evil thrives in the dark and hates the light. Germany is a free democratic nation so if the citizens of Germany want to have those limitations then that is up to them. I admit that I prefer the system in the US where you can express any idea or political thought but we limit profanity and sexual content. Those limitations do not prevent people from expressing ideas they just limit the words and images used to express them. Each free and democratic nation must try and find the balance that works for them.
You are right. Times change. Prices drop on SSDs, ram, and graphics cards improve. So having SODIMM slots and M2 slots for memory is a great idea. Making it easy to add memory or storage is also great. My Macbook Pro has 16 GB of ram and an SSD. I have yet to see any good argument as to why iMacs should not have an easy way to upgrade ram and mass storage. And just to get it out of the way making a desktop thinner is not a good reason. Would a few mm make any difference? Not to me. The Mac Pro was the disaster I thought it would be. It is now dated and you can not update it. The screams of Thunderbolt as the upgrade path did not work out and are dumb. A real high-end workstation needs slots and mass storage as well as DIMM slots. The Pro is an example of what happens when you let a designer set the specs and not an engineer. I have no problem with the Macbook Air being thin at any cost. There is a market for that. There is also a market for an laptop with M2 slots and SO-DIMM slots that the user can upgrade. As a MacBook owner, I want a new MacBook but I want one with M2 and SO-DIMM so I can use it for a long time.
But why not allow 32 bit apps? If an app does not need a 64bit memory space or ints why not allow them to keep running? What about older games and software that you still find useful?
Motorola could have if the had the money. Motorola decided to go with 88000 risc chip for there future. The then dropped that and teamed up on the PowerPC and then spun that off as Freescale. It is really sad that we really only have 4 or so ISAs today. IBMs Power line, ARM, X86, and Sparc. IBM left the low end mass market years ago and Sun never really played in that market. DEC had the Alpha and HP had the PA-RISC but those have all gone away. Intel keeps trying but after the X86 it seems that the only success they had was in making the X86 faster. Not a bad success mind you but if only IBM had used the 68000 instead of the 8088 in h the PC. The problem was the 68008 was not shipping yet and the 68000 was too expensive for IBM to use on what they say as a trail product.
If they are going to produce X/86 desktops then they would be dumb to produce their own motherboard. Lots of companies already make very good X/86 motherboards for both Intel and AMD. What can they do better? Even if the want to tweak the motherboard OEMs can do that for them. Now if they intend to build their own motherboards.... Well that could be the death of the company. They would have to compete with people that make good products already.

An OEM can put on a custom firmware if you really want them to.
