As much as I think the vote was a reckless fault that was mainly driven by old geezers who want their Empire back, I think that voting as many times until we have a result that we like is not the way to go. Especially the young people who are rightfully upset about having their entire lives get screwed up are the ones to blame - they were mainly absent from the referendum vote. There are also plenty who fell for the blahblah of the hopeless losers of UKIP and other ultranationalistic groups rather than spend half an hour and inform themselves properly. If you do not show up for the election or do not take it seriously to begin with, don't complain afterwards!
What will eventually crash the British economy is that the young people will move away leaving the old bastards behind who wrecked their own country even worse than Thatcher did. I guess stupidity in the nth degree never dies...see the US: after presenting the worst president ever (Reagan) the Reps put a dimwitted reality show host up as candidate.
The convincing comes with much better hardware compatibility. I installed Win 10 on several AMD based systems and in random order sound, video, and networking stopped working even while streaming a movie fine for minutes already. Many peripherals that I have are no longer supported in Win 10 although they are only around 3 years old. Biggest issue is the dysfunctional UI. The UI is made for mobile devices and that just sucks on a desktop. I also loathe the ribbons, they waste too much screen space and have me guess what the unintelligible glyphs mean. A menu system is way easier to navigate and stays the same no matter what I do in an app. The ribbon is a shapeshifting nightmare.
The very few advantages that Win 10 brings do not outweigh the many disadvantages. As far as the OP's question goes...I would not count on the NVDA tool to work on Win 10 any time soon unless there is a contractual obligation by the vendor. Win 10 is out for a year now and companies that did not amend their apps to work with the needlessly changed models in Win 10 are unlikely to do so any time soon. It may happen once there are more requests from NVDA users that indicate that lack of Win 10 support will be bad for business.
The biggest impact had air conditioning on the South of the US. It is a hot and steamy place and without AC far less businesses could operate there and attract people to live there.
As far as energy wasting goes, I am still waiting for the industry to make just one window unit that fits a standard size sliding window. Over the years I found that none of them fit right, no matter how much I wiggle them into place.
The UK voters have just propelled their country back onto the trajectory on which they were with Thatcherism: economic disaster, unemployment, civil unrest, and the Empire won't come back. A reckless decision of self-centered nationalistic isolationists...and the beginning of the end of the EU. The many right-wing nationalistic anti-Europeans in Hungary and Poland will attempt the same move. This puts an end to the decades of peace and prosperity since WW II that are undoubtedly caused mainly by the European Union.
They cheated, yes, but look at all the big rigs and construction trucks. They are not subject to any regulations and continue to pollute our air to the nth degree. VW cannot sell that many cars as it would need to come even close to what the trucking industry blows into the air. This issue needs a bit more perspective, or better, some federal regulation to end the massive pollution by trucking.
As if Ford did any better during WW II in Germany. Ford still refuses to compensate the forced labor workers...as does IBM and Coca-Cola. And neither of their factories in Germany were damaged a lot. Also, the Bush clan made its riches by collaborating with Nazi Germany and profiting off forced labor camps.
There is a lot of blame to go around.
Nobody likes being told that they screwed up, but QA is really only a mirror for developers. It is entirely up to the devs to fix things if they do not like what QA reports. Leadership / management also sees devs as "Gods" while QA is that pesky group of negative Nancies that only comes in handy when there is someone needed to blame for the major flaw that was not found. Typically, it was found by QA and pointed out in any which way possible just to be dismissed by developers as "irrelevant edge cases". It is astounding that this cultural flaw is found in every development group.
And I bet in the end it took 10 minutes to do the job. This is nothing but a testament of wrong priorities of project leadership. Fix the stuff that people are already using rather than cramming in more broken features that users did fine without so far. I guess users are fine with subpar quality even in FOSS projects.
As far as we know, that attacker was a US citizen using legally obtained guns to conduct this attack. Likewise, another shooting just a day before in Florida killing Christina Grimmie took also place with, as far as we know, legally obtained guns.
How many more have to die before the 2nd Amendment is repealed? How many more have to suffer until there are effective means put in place to curb the overabundance of firearms? How many more have to get the opportunity to create a blood bath out totally petty reasons? Is it 1,000 more? 10,000? A million? All of us?
Terrorism or not, the fact that access to guns is so easy in the US is one of the core reasons not only for such tragedies, but for a much higher crime rate compared to other countries of the same socioeconomic make up. I doubt Americans are more criminal by nature than the Irish or Germans, yet more gun incidents per capita occur in the US than in any other country in the world, including areas of civil war!
End this madness! Elect politicians who want to remove the 2nd Amendment and make the US a safer place for all of us!
Why? Because Linux and OS X have not enough crappy browsers to chose from? Edge is a carbon copy of IE11 with the legacy support stripped. Microsoft even copied the same bugs over into Edge.Edge is by far not standards compliant. Sadly, none of the browsers available today are. They are standards compatible at best.
....to get the attention of his superiors and others in charge of control, checks, and balances. They all told him to go away. There was not much else left to do than to engage in illegal activities. The administration should have thanked him right away and given him the biggest honors just so that he didn't see a need to leak more info. I think Snowden's illegal actions pale into invisibility compared to the criminal ineptitude and arrogance of the administration, three letter agencies, and above all Congress.
Linux and others could do that for decades. Nice to see that Microsoft is catching up and removes the remaining DOS limitations. I guess it is asking to much to have them backport this to Win7/8.
In which build to they do away with drive letters? And when is NTFS replaced with a modern and performant file system?
The first change that has to come is for parties to organize and pay the primary elections on their own. They will still be allowed to rent schools or other public buildings as polling places outside of school hours, but otherwise are to get zero support, financially or otherwise, by public entities unless they request and pay for it. Or do we really want to waste tax money on charades like the current Republican primaries? All other democracies have their parties fund the process for finding their front runner and candidates. Once determined by the parties, the candidates get a set amount of money to campaign, but cannot use their own money, the party's money, or have representation through PACs/SuperPACs. Final elections will be fully funded by the governments as it always has been, but election day is better moved to some time in May and on a Saturday or Sunday rather than in the middle of the week in November where weather is craptastic in most places in the US.
This will effectively reduce the money spent/wasted on campaigning and at least for the most part takes special interest funding out of the picture. It also will give equal opportunity for all candidates that qualify for the final election. Currently, Reps and Dems get all the benefits while other parties are left out entirely. What the US direly needs is an end of the two party system which is only marginally better than a one party system found in China or North Korea. This black/white, with us or against us think needs to go.
That is one reason, but not the main reason why sales are flat. Those who already are willing to afford a smartphone and the ridiculously overpriced data plans will keep buying new models eventually. Where vendors are hitting a roadblock is with service providers who charge way too much for data service. Provide a decent, low cost, unlimited data plan and many more will be willing to buy a smartphone.
Yes, the texting driver hits the texting pedestrian. I doubt that traffic lights in the ground will make any difference. These self-centered idiots will still run along where they want claiming some right to do so.
The new home should be with the document foundation. Integrating TB with LO will be awesome and I expect the folks at TDF to be more interested in building something people want to use as well as have more technical skill to fix the fundamental issues such as lack of sharing a profile across systems and inability to connect to an Exchange server out of the box. Include Lightning as personal calendar and add a shared calendar and we have a great alternative to MSO in the enterprise.
Are you one of the self-centered delusional Mozilla managers that totally lost any connection to reality paired with arrogance and an unhealthy ignorance towards users? TB is used by quite many for a very long time and is rather popular as it is one of the few open source email clients that work right.
TB has one major issue, it cannot share a profile across multiple systems. That was a complaint voiced half a decade ago by so many and in typical Mozilla fashion it got totally ignored. Instead we get UI redesigns that have zero value. Slapping more icons in a tool strip is easier I guess.
How can there be more competition when there are less providers? If anything, Charter and TWC should be split up and allowed to compete in the same markets using a common network maintained by an independent third party. As it stands, consumers will have the choice between the one cable provider and that exact same provider. There is no competition because the US communications system is inherently broken.
...but inexpensive access to data plans has not. The biggest roadblock to broader smartphone adoption is the ridiculously high price of operating them. Even 50$ per line and month is grossly overpriced for what you get an how much it costs the carrier.
Text to speech, tabbed browsing, mobile browser, online security measures, and and and and....Opera was the first browser to provide all this that many others copied or have yet to implement. Opera is the Tesla in the browser world, the brightest mind with the most inventions and innovations who gets zero credit because other bullies (the Edisons) claim it was their idea.

That works until the next update rolls in and resets all the custom app settings. Another reason to not even bother with Win 10.

Faster and easier to do, just need a pen or pencil and some scrap paper. Notes are needed for short term and are typically for myself.
