All this tells me is that Netflix has looked at what people actually watch or want to watch and have lessened everything else. Furthermore, the real question is, how many titles do they have in their current catalog. How much of a percentage is 2,500 titles.
Microsoft may pay a license fee to host said games on their marketplace and that license may be per use. Thus eliminating as many licenses as they could may profit them. This is conjecture, but would make this 10% deal make much more sense.
This is like saying that you don't need to lock your back door because the front door is locked. You have two targets of attack that BOTH need addressed. This is addressing one such target. That isn't to say that HOW emails are stored is irrelevant to these parties involved, but the purpose of this proposal isn't about putting a new lock on the proverbial back door, but on the front.
^THIS. Sysadmins and Programmers are not the same thing, and they do not require the same sets of skills. I did programming in college and I know people who still do programming, but as a Sysadmin, I know for certain that the typical programmer would have the most difficult time creating a fault-tolerant system or may have difficulty understanding the basics of the OSI model. Conversely, I may be able to sit down and code a b-tree in C++ after a month of remembering everything I learned, but I have no idea how to create a full fledged application, let alone knowing how to make system calls in C#.
I'm sorry, the definition of open source simply means you can view the source code. It does not render the software free to use, free to distribute, or free to modify. The LICENSE by which the code falls under is what it all boils down to. GPL, BSD, and other licensing all have their caveats. The government may even create their own copyleft license.
Unfortunately, the reality is, an efficient AI can and will learn their opponents behavior, and couple that with statistical probabilities and the opponent is essentially screwed.
First off, Windows has continued to be non-standards compliant, inconsistent in its directions, and has haphazardly dealt with security updates. I shouldn't have to wait for months to have a security vulnerability patched. Have they gotten better? Yes. But this licensing garbage that's tied to the firmware for 8 and up, and Office licensing that's tied to email is a horrendous endeavor to maintain.
If you want to consider Linux a failure of a desktop on the account of Gnome, Pulse Audio, Unity, and SystemD, you fail to realize that each one of those are simply software packages running on top of the operating system. Most of the issues you describe are either anecdotal, or simply a regurgitation of what you've heard. I've never had problems with Pulse Audio, nor has anyone that I know personally. Gnome I've had issues with when attempting to integrate with an existing installation, but that was during 3 Beta, Unity sucks, and is is sluggish, but it isn't buggy. SystemD, a lot of people complain about it, and I understand why, it's a complete overhaul, overbearing/far reaching, but since it's adoption out of Beta, I've yet to have ANY workstation or server have any reliability/stability problems. There have been minor configuration issues occasionally, but nothing that's atypical from normal software upgrades.
It is a logical proposition, and one that's fallacious in it's execution. Slipper slopes work on the premises that (a) is morally gray/lesser evil/not morally objectionable, and if allowed, will most assuredly lead to (b), a morally reprehensible outcome. Therefore, the conclusion is that (a) should not be allowed.
ROFL, I stepped away from the PC when I was writing this. Didn't realize I submitted it unfinished. I was going to say that there are a large demographic of/.'ers that are atheistic and liberal, and will definitely take any opportunity to take a shot or argue with those who don't agree.
Logical? By definition, logic uses a systematic form of of thought to validate or invalidate an idea. You've provided no 'logic' to your conclusion. You've only made a definitive declaration. Your premise and your conclusion are the same, and therefore circular. There was no systematic process you went through to derive the conclusion you got. Every statement you've made is a questionable premise.
You ARE entitled to a particular reply. You don't get to decide what the web server sends as a response to your HTTP/S request unless you host the site. When you type in the URL and your PC sends a request, you have ALREADY agreed to view the content received. You CHOOSE to view the site by going to it.
On April 1st, 2015 Digital Ocena released a statement to announce their new Atlantis Data Center. They saved up to 36% on cooling, unfortunately the cost of diving brought the price back up.
Completely agree with this sentiment. EST is a standard time zone. And especially in lieu of an outage, the last thing Github is thinking of is what time standard to use in a public announcement. Yeah, sure, they could have used UTC, but EST should be noted by the reader as a delineation of UTC. I fail to see the reason for the correction.
QFT. Wi-Fi Routers are very much a real thing as you've said.
If he wanted to be REALLY technical, Wi-Fi is simply a standard and not an AP. In essence it would be called, Router/Access Point combo. But let's be real, everyone knows what a Wi-Fi Router is. It's like 'Dialing' a number, common adage that isn't accurate today but still used with the intended meaning getting accross.
In some respects you are correct. Many sites, if you upload your content, they hold an ownership to it, especially with sites like Facebook. However, with CVS solutions, that isn't really an issue. Think of Github. If you upload to github, you still own it. Is it secure? Relatively I'd say so, is it the MOST secure, probably not, but from a business decision, the benefits may outway the potential risk.
The cloud in and of itself poses an inherent risk, that's true. And we see mistakes happening left and right, but I'd also venture to say that most sites DON'T get hacked, or they don't get hacked in a way that exposes your information.
In regards to Integrity and authenticity, there are numerous ways to address these issues, not the least of which are digital signatures and hashing.
This was brilliant! I literally LOL'ed. I don't think most people realize this. Yeah sure, you have to pay every month for cloud services, but how much would you in effect pay to have a high paid engineer tied up for a couple hours.

I suppose it's a good thing for KIT that the courts are requiring Apple to decrypt their devices.
I've always been under the impression that once a Mac or another Apple product died, you replaced it. Now I know that they are still useful.
I don't even know where to begin with this.

I've noticed the same thing. There's a large demographic of /.'ers who are literal, and if you oppose what they say, you'll get modded down.
OK, I see what you're saying. This is a fair argument.

You were predestined to believe that we do not have freewill. I was predestined to believe otherwise.
You say this so definitively, I wonder how you came to such a conclusion.
We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.
