No, what I'm saying is that you can't install it on something that the license doesn't allow it to be installed on, same thing as macOS. No antitrust issue with either case. Same as you can't install an OEM version on multiple computers, or migrate it to another computer. Eventually, with their move to always-connected and intrusive data mining, any attempt will refuse to run. This is perfectly legal, just as it's perfectly legal to enter into agreements with manufacturers to sell locked-down computers that cannot boot another OS.
It's not as good as "real" native code. The performance is shit in comparison. Do a search for writing android apps in c/c++. Even Microsoft supports this for Android in their free Visual C compiler. ART is a bit better tha dalvik, but it's still terribly slow. Think of it - we had better response on a 386 single core 40 mhz with 8 megs of ram. And nothing;s going to fix that, including "compiling sections to native code".
Java is slow. Android is even slower. Using the ART as a shim to go between native code and Android is shit. Considering that Android only supports a small subset of Java, major fail!
Not true. The licensing model can dictate how the product is used - they have the right to not sell it to anyone who doesn't agree to their terms of use, same as any copyrighted product.
Your antitrust argument is total bullshit - ask Apple.
Even with wifi on, if you had updates turned off you didn't get hit. I turned them off in January, and only manually updated last week, and totally avoided the Win10 upgrade. It's not like there is a rush. You can still install 10 for free, even after the deadline, even if you never downloaded it or installed it. The deadline was fake, to "encourage" people to do it sooner rather than later.
A lot of people are saying that usb boot works - but they never tried it and are full of shit. I tried 5 distros to find ONE that would boot off a usb key. That is the state of free operating systems today. It sucks. That's why you need to keep an external DVD-rom around, or keep trying distros until you find one that boots reliably off a usb key.
So all those Fortune 1000- businesses and government agencies that refuse to roll out updates the day they come out are ignorant? Also, bullshit on needing to keep up-to-date or lose support for small businesses and their software. Most of the time, it's the other way around - businesses don't fully support a new OS for quite a while (and the old OS is still supported for 10 years from initial release date).
So why not grow up instead of making up shit?
As for businesses stuck on Windows 7 either updating before the deadline, or paying retail after, you should have read the terms. You could update and roll back within a month, and still keep your update rights. Just like you can still update for free today even if you never tried it.
And let's be honest for 2 seconds here - any business that was stupid enough to update to 10 deserves what they get. That "anniversary update" that is causing so many problems was purposefully delayed until after anyone who upgraded couldn't roll back. 7 is still supported until 2017. So is Vista, if you want to get ugly. What's your rush?
Oh, right - all those Fortune 1000 companies are morons and you're the know-it-all genius. Again, bullshit.
This story has NOTHING to do with audit trails. Why? Because your stupid voting machines were purposefully designed so as to not provide an audit trail. Other countries manage to do paper ballots and have a winner within hours of the polls closing.
Ask a kid. Ask google. Ask people on Facebook or Twitter if you spend all your time posting selfies. If they can't do that, they shouldn't be using a computer anyway.
Unfortunately I recently had to go through 5 distros to find one that would properly install on a usb key and boot. Kind of sucks. Many of them claim to support uefi boot, but don't.
There is no way that nobody around him didn't recognize the similarity. Why nobody called him out on it (or if they did, were ignored) is the question when it comes to prevention.
Don't underestimate Hanoi. They have working IRBMs (Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles) and they're working in an ICBM that would put the US within their range. So far this year, they've gone from an estimated 7-10 kt to 20-30 kt. To put that into perspective, Hiroshima was 15 kt and Nagasaki was 20 kt. Those 2 bombs immediately killed about 100,000 people, and an additional 100,000 in the aftermath. Tokyo has more than 20x the populaton of Hiroshima. New Taipei has more than 10x the population. Pyongyang has less than 3 million. Do the math.
Lynch-pin of stability? You've got to be kidding. Look at the Middle East. ISIS is the result of Americans meddling. 5 years of giving arms to anyone who said they would fight against Bashar al-Assad just increased the instability in the region. Russia achieved more in 1 month. Most of this could have been avoided if the US hadn't insisted on ousting Asaad, with no clear replacement. In retrospect, Asaad is still in power, the EU has been destabilized over refugees fleeing war, and Putin looks stronger than ever.
Aleppo is going to fall soon enough, and then it's just mopping up. Sometimes it's better to deal with the enemy/devil you know. In the instance of Syria, that's how it's turning out anyway, at huge cost.
1.5% of Cubans are below the poverty line. 14.5% of Americans. Cubans have more doctors and dentists per capita than the US, and medical and dental care is free. And all this is despite the US trying to grind them into dust after both a CIA-backed invasion and 2 CIA-funded attempts to kill Castro with the help of the mafia.
One of the consequences of the trade embargo is the dropping of imports of sugar made from sugar cane. So now we have high-fructose corn syrup, and an obesiyy epidemic. In the end, the embargo harmed more Americans than Cubans. Welcome to yet another example of the law of unintended consequences.
Where were you the last decade? The US has been quite good at destabilizing itself without outside help. Increasing inequality between the 0.01% and everyone else, jobs that become more precarious with time, hyper-partisan media, deteriorating value of an education, etc. Trump vs Hillary is just a symptom.
Yes, yes...I'm sure Mr. Trump wants nuclear war...
Why would Putin want nuclear war? He's getting everything he wants, including land grabs and projection of military force, without it. Would he want the Crimea if it were a radioactive sheet of glass? Of course not.
And they've got years of "new features" that will be installed, not just ads on the start menu. Dynamic wallpaper ads, popups saying "I saw you were on such-and-such a site, or typed such-and-such keyword. Here are related products and services I found to help you." "I see you're angry about my helping you. You can order Xanax at one of these pharmacies, or weed online at these dispensaries." "I see you're depressed. Do you know that most firearm deaths in the US are suicide? Here are the most popular guns you can order."
Do you believe businesses just blindly patch their systems when Microsoft makes a patch available? No. They run unpatched until they've verified that the patch won't screw things up. If they can do it, so can you. Then again, if you were stupid enough to not have blocked the "upgrade" to 10 in the first place, given all the problems, then you're probably also stupid enough not to have a Linux boot dvd or bootable usb key hanging around just in case a patch bricks your system.
Unpatched doesn't automatically mean less secure (especially nowadays, where rushed patches seem to cause more problems than they solve). The worst that can happen with an unpatched system is you might catch some malware. The worst with a bad patch is your system might get permanently bricked.
All you had to do was turn all updates off. Not just deferred updates. For greater certainty, you could have googled and found this to turn off windows updates in Windows 10.
Their next OS will be Internet-based. No net connection, no workie. You'll buy an annual, non-transferable, non-portable license tied to the hardware. Enjoy, or switch to something better. There are a few free options out there, you know.
And it's still BS, because it's compiled to the ART runtime, not pure native machine code. Otherwise you wouldn't need the ART runtime. Think for 2 seconds - how many different SoCs does Android run on?
Slashdot Mirror
Or did you not read this story? Totally locked down, unable to boot another OS.
No, what I'm saying is that you can't install it on something that the license doesn't allow it to be installed on, same thing as macOS. No antitrust issue with either case. Same as you can't install an OEM version on multiple computers, or migrate it to another computer.

Oops. Pyongyang.

They're still releasing patches for XP Standard Embedded. You can obtain and apply these patches to ANY XP with a registry hack.

In other words, if the compiled code needs the ART, it's not completely native code. Thank you for playing.

That's what happens when you suck up to SJWs. They specialize in dog-whistle politics.

Nope. Windows 10 has a specific EOL according to Microsoft. Mainstream support ends in 2020, extended support (security patches only for desktop systems) is 2025.
Their next OS will be Internet-based. No net connection, no workie. You'll buy an annual, non-transferable, non-portable license tied to the hardware. Enjoy, or switch to something better. There are a few free options out there, you know.
