And possibly others, because they are too cool to use normal relays. Instead they use only solid state components in their thermostats which have been known to fail closed and burn up peoples AC systems (running the compressor without a fan).
Plus the ecobee's SSRs use so much power they get warm to the touch and cannot accurately sense the temp around them without the remote thermostats.
Bad design, but I guess that is what you get from a company that puts all the "smarts" in their cloud servers...
I want a nice Wifi thermostat, but I _DONT_ want it to be cloud centric. AKA I want it to present its own web interface and only _OPTIONALLY_ connect to a cloud service. I want to be able to pull heating/cooling history/etc from it, as well as remotely reprogram it, and have it monitor remote temp sensors.
There isn't a single product like that on the market for less than $1k.
As much as I think that this is probably the "best" ARM server at the moment, I 100% agree with you. Its not going to make AMD any real money, and the amount of R&D invested would have been better spent upgrading their existing product lines.
I ran a 486 on a MRBIOS based motherboard from ~1992-1994 as a desktop computer.. At which point it was upgraded to a DX/2-66 where it ran as a fileserver until ~1997, at which point it was turned into a linux firewall. A state it existed in until 2010 when I got an internet connection faster than it could handle.
18 Years of continuous activity is not bad.I have a lot of old computers that still work. The oldest is probably an apple ][+ at this point, as I found a good home for my SWTPC a few years back.Those computers from the 70's and 80's are pretty much bulletproof. The ones from the 90's are susceptible to HD failures and the ones from the 2000's seem to be made out of crap (bad caps, and all kinds of other undiagnosable failures).
Before Windows 10 was released I was looking forward to it as Windows 8 done right
Me to, its definitely a step in the right direction for desktop users, but its worse on tablets. I think MS totally has the right idea with the "tablet mode" setting in the charms bar. Its implementation though is 1/2 baked.
The problem is that a whole host of things now suck for tablets. Take the replacement of IE with edge. Edge may be a great web browser for speed/standards etc, but it sucks to use because it lacks an ad blocker. The desktop version of IE had been stupefied so it doesn't understand running as a modern app anymore.
Then there is the fact that modern and desktop apps get mixed, and a desktop app running maximized (a great idea) fails to pull up the keyboard for entry most of the time. So your forced to disable tablet mode to access the manual keyboard icon.
I could write a 10k word article about all the good ideas with shitty implementations in windows, but whats the point.
Frankly, I'm not sure what the advantage 8/10 have over 7 for desktop users, nor the advantage 10 has over 8 for tablet users. 10 is a bunch of half baked crap, maybe 11 will be better.
I'm sort of going to second this too, I have an OpenRD which is using a slightly older version of the Marvell CPU. The docs initially appear open, but I quickly ran into a number of cases where they wanted me to sign an NDA to get the full documentation covering the information I needed.
Basically, all the useful information is not in the public tech docs...
States rights are good when you want to break federal law. But state rights are shit when the state wants to name something in it.
Sounds like business as usual. I live in TX where the idea of "local control" is translated as "local control as long as you conform to the political ideology of the state government" The state government that caps all forms of local taxes (from sales tax, to property taxes). The same state that mandates everything from the education curriculum to limits on what counties/cities can do with zoning regulations, to whether a city can ban plastic bags (ok the latter didn't pass... yet).
The "conservatives" in TX usually manage to pass a couple hundred new laws restricting things that were previously free or the ordnance of local government every time they go to Austin.
Besides what the AC said (which I 100% agree with) XP's real feature over windows 2000 was probably the license model change. Before XP the licenses weren't tied to the hardware, and weren't verified by MS. I've always though that the main reason for the change. The UI color style (which could be revered to 2000's look) was to make people thing they were getting something over 2000.
The fact that it was such a small update over 2k is probably most of what made it successful. All the major issues were worked by the users of 2k. That is basically what happened with windows7 too. Vista users dealt with all the bugs, and when it was finally a reasonable product MS just released it with the appropriate service packs as a new product.
Went to CMU for a month in the summer of '93. He came back with a somewhat professional looking CD that had the source code for linux, the slackware floppy images, and some other junk (maybe it was SLS).
We spent a day or two installing it on my 486sx20 (which actually involved creating a bunch of floppies, and installing from them IIRC).
Not much worked, for sure X didn't. I wasn't very impressed, so I stopped messing with it. Some time passed and I tried again (possibly with another CD). I remember eventually getting X running a few months later. and probably the networking support too. Two things I remember from that time period, was my buddy impressively getting his VGA monitor to run at some resolution far beyond what it was designed for. Which then resulted in trying it on a bunch of different monitors and a number of them strangely dying not long after (the noises they made were quite memorable too). Including my buddies IIRC..
But, I didn't really stick with it other than to show it to people and mess around a bit once in a while. It didn't have any games, the command line wasn't DOS, and the few apps it had pretty much sucked. NT 3.1 which I had at the same time was more useful, but was dog slow booting on the same hardware. Heck it was slow on the screaming fast Pentium 60 we had at work. (which was also installed off floppies... all ~40 of them).
The retail copies of windows (which are outrageously priced BTW) are licensed to move between machines in the way you describe. You may have to call MS but the license should be portable...
OTOH, I have a friends who say they have called MS and gotten them to reactivate OEM copies on replaced motherboards even though its not really allowed.

Recycling Is Dying
·
· Score: 1
That, and most Americans are too fucking lazy to sort, or have any kind of care in avoiding contamination (or even learning what that means).
Why the fuck should I have to waste my $100/hour time to sort some goddamn garbage when the city can hire someone for $10/hour to do it?
So get off your high horse about the recycling BS, and charge me another $50 a month or something for trash collection and sort it all manually. I'm totally of the opinion that things that can be reused be removed from the waste stream. I'm just not in favor of trying to educate a million people sufficiently that they don't make mistakes and wasting peoples time doing things that are much better handled by specialists and machines.
With bad reviews, and then recreate them as clean products without any reviews. I've had this happen to a couple products I wrote bad reviews for. Polar in particular released the RC3 a couple years ago, and there were a ton of bad reviews about broken chest straps, broken buttons, GPS's that wouldn't lock up, etc.. Good luck finding any of those reviews, they changed the SKU (or something) a couple years back and all the old bad reviews (which were close to a 1 start rating) are no longer applied to the product. My review is still in my profile, but it links to a product which is "no longer available" even though you can find the RC3 still for sale on amazon.
I'm not sure about 8.1 enterprise but other versions have allowed this trick 3 time, then you boot from a disk, clear some registry keys and start the whole process over again. Or ignore the "your windows isn't genuine" if you use one of the OEM keys you can find via google.
licensed to operate on the public roadways, not on a race track
Or a farm, where a lot of work trucks/tractors live their whole lives. In fact where I live you can probably get away with driving a truck down the road from one plot to another just with a slow moving vehicle sign, some flashing lights and a headlight (the requirement for "farm equipment on the road").
Well uranium can be mined in a lot of places where people live. There are places in the US where simply walking outside and picking up a couple rocks will net you a few ppm of uranium. Finding abandoned mines and picking up some of the tailing will often net a pretty decent concentration.
I only point this out because getting a decent purity of uranium from rocks is probably the least of your problem if you need a particular isotope.
The whole discussion about making your own guns, sort of reminds me of the day I realized how easy it was to make beer. So easy that any 14 year old can walk into any random supermarket and buy everything they need to make a couple gallons of beer for less than it costs to actually buy the beer (as it should be!).
So all these prohibitions against selling alcohol to people under 21 are all pretty pointless, even kids without friends older than 21 can get their hands on unlimited supplies of the stuff with just a little thought and effort.
So the latest hopla about making guns is sort of a resurgence of the zip gun culture. Only the results are probably more accurate on the whole.
Uh, sort of a bad example. The old control over every portion of the window decoration from the appearance tab on the display properties dialog got gimped with windows 8 (or was it 7). MS still lets you change the color, but all the fine grained controls a gone.
There are a number of howto's about creating a "classic" windows theme for 8, but its just not the same. The result isn't classic mode anymore than the win98 mode in kde looks anything at all like windows98.
Except that Civil Engineering is licensed by each individual state. There is also the requirement that in order to get a PE you have to have a certain number of years of experience under a PE that will sign off on it. Plus, there are basic competency tests required, and continuing education requirements.
That is why my wife who has a PE in CE doesn't work with any H1B's while I do. She does work with a number of permanent residents, but most of them moved here, went to school here, and got their PE's after working in the field here for a few years.
Plus, the requirement that nearly any project of significance have a PE sign off on it, keeps the field vibrant.
Well, besides all the other listed problems with moving into the TV market. I'm sure apple had two major roadblocks for a uber high res TV. The question of who would supply the glass, and who would supply the content probably were insurmountable. Its not like Samsung or LG were going to sign exclusive sales deals to only sell the panels to apple. Then there are the content providers who probably refused to provide custom content for apple devices fearing a repeat of the itunes situation where they became beholden to apple.
And the funny thing about that is a few minutes with google might give you a few ideas on how to get around the _SOFTWARE LICENSE_ enforced 4GB limit! Because even 32-bit XP is running with PAE enabled! Your out of support, why not invalidate your license and just add more ram?
XP is crap. Its driver model and security model are a total joke.
Please be more specific because the whole NT line shares the same driver model (the most significant changes were actually in win2k with the addition of PnP) and security model. And that includes windows 10... The addition of UAC dialogs instead of runas, isn't a security "model" change so much as a implementation detail. The virtualized HKLM aren't really "security model" changes either and are probably the single largest security change to newer windows that actually makes a difference over running as a restricted user in 2k,xp,2k3.
So, i'm curious what exactly you think is crap about the windows security model and what exactly changed that had a meaningful impact.. And no, simply changing the default user to a restricted one doesn't really count because anyone with 1/2 a brain did the same thing to older windows installs. Maybe the largest resulting change is that crap software now actually works consistently in such an environment without having to implement custom policies for busted applications. ASLR maybe? Because that is application specific and there are 3rd party utilities that provide it for XP. Same thing for driver signature enforcement, its possible to set a GPO to reject unsigned drivers. Something ACL related maybe? Because in microsoft's words "The fundamental structure of access control lists (ACLs) has not changed much for Windows Vista".
You should really read this article http://www.windowsecurity.com/... which is a pretty good introduction to the security features of the NT kernel, so that you can communicate effectively about what you think is wrong with windows security model before you start making blanket statements about it.
he 3d technology was too new back then. And they jumped to the technology without much insight of the quality of the universe.
I assume your aware that there is a new kings quest in the making... King's Quest: Your Legacy Awaits, which when I initially saw the screen shots I was really sad. I guess they think 3d technology has evolved, but it still looks like ass in comparison to KQ7, which runs at much lower resolution.
There definitely a place for good hand drawn art in video games. See Machinarium, and a number of fire maple games like The Lost City. I found these much more satisfying then nearly any game using a 3d engine I've played in the last 10 years. Even the old prerendered games like riven/etc look better IMHO. Realtime 3D/polygon rendering is cool for things that need 3D, but this idea that even isometric games (starcraft/etc) need to be 3D takes away from the experience.
I really was excited about the new xcom until I saw the screenshots and found out it was using cryengine. Not that there is anything wrong with that engine, I just wish someone would do a big budget game with something other than that, unreal, or idtech. The use of one of three game engines for 99% of the games released in the past few years means that they all have the same look/feel in my book.
Without demand to prop up economies of scale, will prices of general-purpose computers rise to where they were before the late 1990s?
Maybe my memory if failing me, but I don't think the upper midrange PC is less expensive now than it was in the late 90's. Back then a cheap PC could be had for $7-800 and a decent one for $1500-2000. Sure you could go crazy, and dump $5k, but it didn't get you much over the $2k one.
Same thing today, a cheap PC is probably $400 and a decent one is $1500, and you can dump $5k on a really good one. So, the largest change is probably on the low end where prices are 1/2 to 1/3 what they were. This isn't really the market that people who need a PC are apt to buy into anyway.
The one thing that has happened is that laptops have gone from premium devices to cover the mid range and low end.
Or maybe its all the crap, half baked technology being used over the last few years. I think we are sort of in a time period like the mid/late 90's where everyone was shoveling garbage windows apps out the door before they were done baking (and win9x itself was a pile of crap).
It seems to me, that over half the "web stacks" are just steaming piles of unfinished garbage. Same with a lot of the core infrastructure technologies that are all the hotness (see docker, openstack, etc).
So, its no wonder these things get stressful, someone hits a bug and suddenly they are trying to fix software that is way over their head on a deadline.
Slashdot Mirror
Right, so why not pick somewhere that has land down range?
I suspect that is part of the selection of south texas as a launch site. Launch it from texas, land it in florida.
And possibly others, because they are too cool to use normal relays. Instead they use only solid state components in their thermostats which have been known to fail closed and burn up peoples AC systems (running the compressor without a fan).
