Why run Windows binaries under Linux when you can just run Linux binaries on Windows, amirite?? (/sarcasm)
I see no mention of this being a 2-way street. They're right back at Embrace from the 3 point plan they've been running for decades. Ask Netscape how that works out.
I'm at work right now typing on it. It doesn't have this executable, it doesn't have the Conextant audio driver either.
This does make me curious, though, since I recently tested some newer HP laptops/convertibles which had a noticeable cpu eating process called Flow which is also tied to the Conextant audio driver.
We gave them back so I can't check them but it's an interesting coincidence...
This is hitting school districts hard in my state. We invariably have people click on phishing scams and it only takes a couple per building to be a real problem.
My district must have been one of the ones not following the guidelines. I see chocolate milk running down the walls at a high school Monday and they were making loads of whole pepperoni pizzas at a different one.
In my district, any kid, regardless of if they go to the school, can walk in the door and get fed breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and they're working on dinner...
"I dunno how much AIDS scares y'all, but I got a theory: the day they come out with a cure for AIDS, a guaranteed one-shot cure, on that day there's gonna be fucking in the streets, man."
A major car OS update every few months sounds fucking insane for something that can literally kill you and everyone around you. That, surely, isn't enough time for rigorous testing.
complaining about how radically different Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 are it was a Python-level community split and I say that as someone who basically doesn't care. So the people who hate Gnome 3 are mostly KDE people or Gnome 2 people.
I personally hated Unity mostly because of it's corporate bullshit which Canonical I'm sure is still pursuing (ads on your desktop anyone? Sound familiar?) in some form.
The first Linux desktop I saw which actually impressed me was a customized one in the 90's that a friend made from Gnome and Enlightenment.
I'm not a programmer either, I started with Slackware in 1995, I have Linux machines but not as my primary desktop and I am not exactly a zealot.
For the end user, the difference is mostly in the UI/UX and what applications will play nice with what (as far as integrated look and feel you can mostly run whatever); I usually end up installing the dependencies for several to get shit to work or to use some part of something I like over the other. I'm not really talking about package management which you listed (just about everything is a front end for a front end for a front end at this point. I like yum and apt more or less equally (and yes I said apt not apt-get, search is good)).
I have Mint on my laptop and Cinnamon (based on Gnome 3) is decent but not without problems. So yea... some rambling.. maybe some of it is useful.
Oh and yea API/where files go/*everything*, they have their own window managers there are lots of choices and differences between them; you can install them and then use the login manager (for the name) in Mint to try different window managers and find one you like but warning YMMV and some are broken by default.
I didn't see that coming. Anti-gay, Anti-Abortion, Pro-death penalty with a reputation of being "to the right of Scalia" and they had to change the rules to get him appointed to a stolen seat.
E.g. If I'm willing to pay $80k for the position, but I know you make $60k and I offer $70k you will probably take it as it's an increase for you and I pocket the $10k difference because you have 0 way of knowing how much I'm willing to pay to start with.
That's why ALL interviewers ask this question EVERYWHERE and will not proceed with interviews without this information unless prohibited by law.
I have 2. Hilterfinity and sATTan. Hilterfinity is the only real choice since it's unmatched in speed but not in shady business practices (in my area).
I did quite a bit. I've been using AirVPN (based in Italy) for several years without any issues beyond ones I caused myself; and without any love letters from Comcast.

I completely agree but I wager that America will be dead last to figure this out. I live in a midwestern red state where suffering is considered a virtue; especially if it's for work/family.
If you suggest that people ought not have to work, especially for basic survival needs, you're an evil communist/socialist/terrorist/unfavorable-ist-of-the-week.
No one (in American anyway) seems to notice the slavery to their incomes. I saw somewhere, I forget where, someone (probably foreign) pointed out the contradiction of American's worship of "Democracy" while having nearly everyone working and therefore spending most of our waking lives in a dictatorship under some CEO or equivalent.
Our system is broken. Having AI/robots take over everything will eventually result in (probably violent) revolution before people here come to their senses; if we survive that long.
Most people are posting the same 2 view points (with the 3rd probably being simply the experience sucks because reasons):
1.) Home theater systems are so much better now, mine is amazing and/or there are amazing ones available.
2.) People, especially in the 18-24 yo age group, are fucking poor and can't afford to go to the movies (most of these are ignoring the obvious, that they can't afford the home theater system either).
I'm not in either of those 2 categories (more like the 3rd, without the money or inclination for a huge home theater, apartment dweller and not rich with a deep loathing of crowds), but this seems like a poll worthy topic (no I didn't check to see if it already exists) with "Cowboy Neal is my projectionist" as a 4th?
Slashdot Mirror
They call it "telemetry" these days, because it sounds better than "spying" and "data exfiltration (theft)".
Maybe we should be trying to find the EULA for the audio driver? I bet it says they can do whatever the fuck they want =)
But is "they" Conexant or HP or Microsoft or everyone?

The article says which one "can't you live without" and the poll says "which one CAN you live without" (paraphrasing).
So, I predict other people will fuck up their answers like I did and pick the one they wanted to keep and not discard first.
I don't want or own a luxury hand bag either.

There are already too many people.
and you've accurately described my world view.
Holy fuck what an asshole. I'm guessing these are all in the span of half an hour too. I hope never work with you =)
Doing it at all is going to make you enemies in a hurry.

corporation, they'd have been arrested, and would currently be awaiting trial in jail with an outrageous bail set.
So fuck Mitt Romney, corporations are not people, they're clearly better than that.
You are correct, sir. But I'm out of mod points ;/

A fucking shocker, truly. /sarcasm
Duh.

I've worked with and work with several. I'm in the public sector. I have never seen a Hispanic and only one Asian.

so as soon as the law allows they will sell the history for AI farming.
if you're logged in to google account and running an adblocker while watching Youtube videos; they will eventually mysteriously error out.
But, if you're not logged in and run one, they play fine all day and ad free.
