No, it's always been the case. I remember even during the Job's era, I had to use a mac at the library because all of the PCs were being used. I stuck a USB drive in it, and the mac just froze. It didn't even give the pinwheel of death, it just plain stopped working. Meanwhile the USB drive worked fine in every other machine I put it in afterwards, including a Linux PC.
I still remember Jobs excusing the iPhone grip of death by going on stage and showing other bugs in competitor phones (which weren't as bad, by the way, in that you could at least talk on them and still continue doing most things that required a signal.)
You realize that these solutions are unrealistic to the typical home user, right? Especially this gamer who likely doesn't want to use wifi. There really is no option to both have updates enabled AND make it prompt you before installing them.
No, it doesn't. With Pro you can only defer updates, you can't outright refuse them. Only Enterprise has this feature, and even then you can't do it on an individual basis, it has to be done via a domain setting to tell the OS to only update via a local WSUS server. And even that isn't reliable enough, typically in an enterprise setting it's also necessary to block access to Microsoft's update servers at the network level.
Just to elaborate on that point, the biggest barrier to space exploration, by a mile, is how much it costs to escape Earth's gravity. This goes a long LONG ways towards lowering that barrier.
And ultimately, space exploration is the key to our long term survival, and may even be the short-term future of our economy.
I personally doubt that Microsoft will actually follow through with that, which would obviously stipulate an end to the forced 10 upgrades. Since when has Microsoft been known to stop doing something incredibly annoying once they start?
I'm not saying he'll be able to accomplish what he wants. Far from it in fact. What I'm saying is that what he wants seems to line up really well with what he says. The Muslim thing can't happen for example; there's no way it would fly once challenged in court due to an obvious first amendment violation.
This gamer should be setting the time to not when he's streaming.
That's by far the wrong answer, enough to the point that the term 'gross incompetence' comes to mind. No well working software should ever automatically do anything that has a high risk of completely trashing your system without i.e. giving you the opportunity to back up your data. (And worse is that this thing sets you up for two high risk operations, in addition to deleting software you have without asking you.)
Actually, depending on your windows update settings, windows 10 can fully automatically install without any user intervention, and in fact does so. What happens though is it upgrades you're machine to 10, boots to it, and then shows you an EULA, which if you decline, then it downgrades back to 7.
This is really not a nice thing to do to your customers, and even automatically uninstalls software that it deems incompatible with 10.
Unless you're doing something retarded, chron shouldn't be interfering with anything you do. Might consume background resources depending on what you've configured, but shouldn't ever pop any surprise windows or prompts, ever.
No....I'm not really a fan of Trump, but he pretty much seems to be an open book. How many politicians do you know of that will have reservation against a certain religious group and openly speak about it? With Trump, what you see is very much what you get. Obama can't claim that (compare his campaign promises vs what he actually did) and Hillary will make Obama look like a saint in that regard.
No this isn't the US government, it's individual state governments, which are separate entities. The US government doesn't care about sales taxes one way or another.
You need Harvard to help with crawling into upper class, but you do not need tit to become a normal middle class coder.
Eh...not really. I know a lot of people with >120k/yr salaries who have nothing more than community college degrees. Hell, at the rate I'm going, I'll be there soon-ish, and that's all I have. (I'm at about $80k only two years out of community college.)
Artificially cultured beef could, in principle, but healthier and tastier. It's not clear that it could even in principle be cheaper. What might be cheaper is genetically modified lizards. Modify them so that they taste like beef rather than "like chicken". Being cold blooded they could, in principle, be a lot cheaper to raise. And some of them can live on vegetarian diets, supplemented by whatever insects they can catch. These could, in principle, be cheaper and more ecological than chickens.
We already get everything you stated here out of Ostrich meat. And it's slow twitch muscle, so tastes very similar to beef, and by most accounts even tastes better, in addition to being more lean.
Putting things in space has been getting cheaper, actually, much cheaper in fact. Also, the only reason something might get older as it ages is when demand for it falls, thus you lose the ability to take advantage of economies of scale. Examples of that are parts for older cars.
It's a given that everything is expensive when it's new, so I think the unspoken (and kind of obvious) point is that as manufacturing technique improves, there's a very long way that price reduction can go. This will never be true of rare natural resources, however.
I've been a member of W.CD for about a year, and that's not the type of site it is. Most torrent sites that host music haven't the slightest clue how to make sure it is a decent quality release. Similar to how TV and movie torrent sites have extensive rules for quality (similar to what scene releases have,) W.CD has its own rules that can guarantee you aren't going to waste ratio or time on a crap release. But they don't go to those silly analog extremes. For example, 192kbit VBR MP3 (aka LAME v2) is a perfectly acceptable encode there because it provides audible transparency. What won't be accepted is i.e. having a 128kbit CBR MP3, or having anything that is up-encoded to fit the rules (and yes, you can empirically measure when somebody has done this, W.CD even provides guides for doing so.)
I personally am not an audiophile, nor am I a music enthusiast, but it's a nice site. In addition to music, it's also a wonderful site for college textbooks (I personally have uploaded several, including ones I've scanned myself.)
The annoying thing about paypal is that they default to billing your checking account instead of your credit card, and it's impossible to change it without deleting your bank account. The lame thing about deleting your bank account is that if you ever need to receive funds through paypal, they make you go through an aggravating (and sometimes several days long) process to verify your account. I rarely receive funds via paypal by the way, but when you sell on ebay or swappa it's rude to make the buyer wait several days for your account verification.
Paypal always argues that it costs you money to make credit card transactions, under the premise that you'll pay interest and whatnot, but it's a load of shit. They just want to avoid the merchant fees that they have to pay the credit card companies. My credit cards cost me nothing (I've never had to actually pay interest) and even include 1.5% cash back, so effectively my credit cards give me money rather than the other way around.
I'm of a mind to think that both of them are in for a rough time. The DVR industry is beholden to cable, and if you keep up with current events, cable has been pricing itself out of the market mainly due to pressure from content providers always demanding more money and getting their way. Streaming is the future, and who the fuck needs a tivo (or any DVR) for that?
It's entirely possible to restructure without laying off. Restructuring and laying off would be orthogonal things is management was competent.
No, Intel is a pretty big company that is having to deal with a pretty big industry shift. No matter how you slice it, the reduced desktop sales IS a problem that Intel can't fix with the marketing BS it used to pull years back (and believe me, they tried that already.) When you're in Intel's position, you can't just hold on to your existing expenses and expect things to work out. This isn't a management problem, rather it's a changing business landscape that they need to adapt to. The people who lose their jobs over this are dealing with frictional unemployment, which invariably happens at some point.
It's not all bad though, and this is actually a good time to get laid off because the economy is still in a growth period. I myself just got laid off from a really big tech company (who happens to be an Intel partner, by the way) only two months ago, and I just got hired by another company (in the health care industry, but still doing tech work) for almost twice what I was getting paid before. With the severances that Intel is giving their employees, they shouldn't have any difficulty sustaining themselves while they find new work.
No amount will really do anything to maintain US market share. There's no escaping the fact that it's a global economy, no matter how you try to implement mercantilism. Sure, you might stop US customers from buying, but even though you raise the price in the US, there's nothing stopping say Russia or Japan from buying their steel. The only way you can do anything about dumping is through diplomacy, and by that I mean treaty organizations that provide sanctions that not just the US follows. As you can see, they really don't give a shit about US sanctions alone.

I think it's meant to imply a pro version of a bro-grammer.
You forgot to mention that it will be powered with web 3.0.
No, it's always been the case. I remember even during the Job's era, I had to use a mac at the library because all of the PCs were being used. I stuck a USB drive in it, and the mac just froze.
