Ridiculous. You can run nVidia installs silently on Windows if you choose. I have also seen executable based installers on Linux that show advertisements.
It's the same silly argument where people blame Microsoft for all BSODs when, again nVidia being the majority culprit, bad drivers are the root cause - then people like yourself say "well, Microsoft should build a driver model that doesn't allow for BSODs."
That's kind of funny because I had heard there were problems with vs 2012 - especially the betas, but they'd been fixed by the time is moved to it. That was about 8 months into it's lifecycle. Never experienced your problems - again, on all the OS variants I have to support today. Kind of curious that you're using vs 2012 when it's 2017 and anyone who paid for MSDN was eligible for 2013. If you're using the express version, that's even weirder. I'm not aware of any libraries or frameworks that are stuck on vs 2012. Almost seems unbelievable...
Visual Studio crashes on a whim? Weird, I use it every single day across multiple machines and virtual machines (Win 7,8.1,10, x86 and x64) when debugging Qt applications, and for writing tools for the Windows side of the house - the last crash I experienced was in a 3rd party plugin for Visual Studio 2010 over 5 years ago. I've been using it on the Windows side for decades (all the way back to Visual C++ 1.5 days when I used it and Borland C++) and never had problems with crashing (not that it never crashed, but it rare.)
I guess you missed the "for example." Rather than talk about the differences between 72, 80, and the various flavors along the way and their shortcomings - I pointed out something small but important that counters the silly article's "SmallTalk is the magic bullet!" voice.
I still think SmallTalk is cool, and in 85 it was SERIOUSLY cool (image based persistence? Awesome...) Like all other languages - it has issues.
SmallTalk is cool - and for its time it was incredible really - but it has warts that have held it back forever (including the stupidify of the major players in the market.)
For example - algebraic precedence. When 5 + 5 * 5 = 50 - you're going to have problems with adoption.
In any case - it's a nice shiny hammer. You should have it next to all your other hammers in the toolbox.
I didn't even know what this is, but after some rudimentary googling you can find the actual FACTS. Remember, I wanted Kasich or Rubio.
Travelgate turned out to be nothing more than firing people for the right reasons but apparently carelessly.
Long story short, Clinton comes into office in the early 90's and they find out that the WH travel office is missing millions of dollars in accounting records. The WH tells the FBI to investigate, the FBI finds that the guy running the travel office has been taking bribes from travel companies as well as himself bribing media/press personnel to direct their business to these companies. A federal grand jury indicts the guy. The guy offers to plead guilty for reduced sentence. The FBI says no. Years later the guy beats the rap in court. In what becomes an alleged ethics issue, people friendly to the Clintons become involved in these STAFF jobs. Clinton is later cleared of this by Kenneth Star himself.
I'm not sure why people feel the need to make shit up about the Clintons.
The actual truth is enough to find them distasteful.
Dude, you live in a bubble. There are millions of Trump supporters out here. How do you think he won the nomination?
I'm not sure what your statement has to do with anything I wrote. I didn't suggest that there aren't millions of Trump voters in any way at all. Very 'bubbly' of you to read one thing and your bubble turned it into something else entirely...
The Tea Party faction of the Republican party has been growing in numbers and power since Rick's famous rant in 2009. The 2010 midterm primaries were a warning shot. There were a few more wins in 2012, but we didn't yet have the strength to get a good candidate for the presidency. The 2014 bloodbath showed that we were on track to take over in 2016, and we did. We didn't win everywhere, but we finally got a candidate who was willing to fight for us, and fight he did. And he won.
Lol, I guess you're forgetting (quite conveniently) that the Tea party did not support Trump during the primaries (they didn't think he was a real conservative - which he's not.)
BTW, there are two types of 'tea party' members. Those who were involved early and had actual integrity and grit, and those who came later when it was subverted by the Koch Brothers into what it is today (a loud mouthed group of populists who think they're libertarian but only when it works for them...)
You are mourning the end of the uniparty. The Republican party no longer has the same goals as the Democrat party. Your side didn't win. It didn't help that your team started doing the touchdown dance on the 30 yard line, but the real reason is that we got off the sidelines and started pushing back.
Again, you appear to be creating another straw-man argument. I didn't mourn the GOP's direction (even though candidates I could support didn't win the primaries - that's democracy.) Somehow you've also managed to screw up the obvious fact that I wanted a GOP candidate to vote for (try reading again.) I'm not a democrat, but I am an American and I care what happens to my country - not just myself.
While I'm sure there are many who voted for him without regard for the fake news stories (which generally seemed laughably dumb) - when I talked with people in my own neighborhood that vote for Trump - none of them voted for Trump, they all voted against her in his name - and the reasons were a mixture of the best falsehoods (the ones with kernels of truth in them.) Things that had been repeatedly debunked.
In a sense you can't really blame Trump for being what he is. It's not like it was a surprise. Certain aspects of the GOP have been creating this problem for years. Think about this - there were NINE separate investigations.
One of them was the actual required investigation - which laid the blame on the State Department, Department of Defense, and somewhat on the CIA. This is exactly what you would expect. Clinton herself was cleared of any personal culpability, but as the head of the State Department she was ultimately responsible (and by extension the President.)
Then there were EIGHT more. All of them, one after the other, came to basically the same conclusions as the original - no evidence of 'wrong doing' by Clinton (although Susan Rice - the ambassador to the UN repeatedly came out looking like a dipsh*t - lol.)
That's more time and investigations THAN 9/11!
The best part was the senate and house Republicans were several times caught being dumb enough to admit on camera that these were political attacks on Hillary Clinton (each speaking about their own investigations - not others.)
It is clear an obvious to an objective observer that the entire purpose was to generate as much negative association with her as possible.
I am myself a fairly socially liberal and very fiscally conservative person - but I cannot stand dishonesty (from either side - don't get me started on Nancy the f*cking devil Pelosi) - and I found myself repeatedly having to stand up for the facts (remember those?) when people I know would just mouth whatever they'd recently heard on Fox News that was intentionally inaccurate, incomplete, and often incoherent. I don't subjectively like Hillary anyhow, so that that used to piss me off even more.
OF COURSE fake news helped Trump. It wasn't just Russian//whoever fakes news - it was fake outrage, fake interpretations of real events, fake evaluation of real facts, fake Fox News (MSNBC used to be almost as bad but I avoid both), et cetera.
Now the crazy shit that was coming out during Trump's campaign? It was so obviously fake that at some point you just have to realize that a large number of Americans are stupid. I love America, and I like my neighbors (really), but some of them are idiots. That's just the way things are, and now they're going to get exactly what they voted for.
It makes me sad for America, but we'll recover. The really sh*tty part is that I remember during the primary watching Kasich and thinking "there's a decent, centrist, reasonable man - who would likely be a two term president." I think Rubio could have done a solid job as well (and he would have probably been able to drain some of the swamp with his idealism as well.) To be honest, other than Cruz, Trump, and Carson (wtf?), the remaining candidates (even Bush) were not terrible if not great (although I don't care for Pence much, I think at the national level he'd actually turn out to be less appeasing of the base he currently has to deal with at home.)
Anywho - long story short. Of course the CEO of a publicly traded company will act stupidly unaware of something that's been brought to his attention for months and is obvious to all of us... He's legally required to (in a way.)
Interesting that rather than accepting and realizing the utter hypocrisy of the entire GOP, you blame Democrats. This is why it's so much easier to accept Democrats - despite their horrendous flaws - that Republicans. Their fans.
...they don't know how to manage remote employees. I find this difficult myself, but primarily because I ad hoc manage a few people who are remote - I think if you manage the entire team in a remote fashion, it can be a win.
With a management process built to support this type of team - remote teams actually coordinate and communicate better than physically co-located teams.
We currently have a single remote team (many other teams in-house) at our company - and they're fantastic. That's primarily down to the fact that the guy running the team (also remote) has a great and transparent system for communication that works well.
Now, there are many reasons why it wouldn't work for a given company - but I can definitely state that it can work, and work REALLY well - given the right circumstances.
Yes, because they're meant to kill - of course they're a better deterrent than something not meant to kill...
The numbers you quote, which came from actual studies, are valuable; however, the rather important contrast (you left out for some reason) is that given the average annual defensive firearm incidents reported - the number of violent crimes committed using firearms is astronomically higher (in 1992 for example, 931,000.)
Statistics clearly state that gun ownership is not an effective deterrent to violent crime committed with a gun.
I'm not interested in taking peoples' guns away, but it does get annoying to listen to the bullshit spouted in the name of "guns are good" and "the only cure for a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" types of stupidity.
BTW, not sure where you got the crazy numbers of 2.5 million and 4.7 million given that in 1992 there were fewer than 4.7 million violent crimes of any time (robbery, murder, manslaughter, rape, aggravated assault, et cetera...)
Even the most rudimentary investigation into this story reveals that the hospital didn't decided to take her from her parents, the state child protective services (equivalent) did. There are also some pretty strong correlations between her condition being strongly exacerbated by the presence of her mother (which is the basis by which she has been diagnosed with a psychosomatic disorder.)
I don't doubt that this poor girls is suffering from physical disorder(s), but it's a very complex situation and the hacker seems like an idiot for reacting in this fashion.
It depends (of course, lol.) If they did something explicitly (not implicitly) allowed by law - that would be true. If implicitly allowed (i.e. there's no law that says you cannot do that) then it's certainly arguable.
The EU would likely argue (likely very successfully) that Apple behavior is not explicitly forbidden, but instead implicitly forbidden by other laws (which they will traipse out at that time.)
The whole thing is academic at this point because everyone and their dog knows that this is exactly what Apple was doing, and they were expecting that the EU would just be happy to receive the little taxes they did receive. Solid, but short term, thinking. As soon as the U.S. got pissed about this, the EU knew they had Apple over a barrel.
...at reverse engineering and cracking tend to be extremely 'pragmatic' in their approach to creating software.
People are constantly confusing programming with software engineering. Look at Google for example, look at the design decisions behind golang. Google has lots of very smart people no doubt, but golang was designed around their pervasive weakness - they do not tend to be good software engineers (experience will usually lead them there though.)
