I went to high school in the first half of the 80s and they taught both firearm safety and archery. Now if you go near a school with a rifle or bow you'll be gunned down by the police.
I don't need a phone that can run x64 apps, but I wouldn't mind it if the performance and battery life was acceptable. I have a Surface 3 tablet. I run Windows 10 and Ubuntu on it. It is very nice hardware. If they can do the same with phones I might give it a shot, although I'll admit I have enough invested in Android apps that I might hedge my bets.
There was a time when slashdot had more useful posts than posts from pedants. People make mistakes in an informal forum such as this. Some of them aren't even native English speakers.
Being pedantic doesn't prove anyone's intelligence. It just proves that they nitpick informal communications and make assumptions as to the OP's language skills.
From the article: "Intelligence should be defined by the ability to understand." Of course that opens up a discussion on what it really means to 'understand' something. Still, the directions we've been going in such as expert systems, neural networks, etc. address the processing of information in order to make decisions. They have nothing to do with actually understanding anything. Watson, as an example, was fun to watch on Jeopardy and is a very useful sort of tool, but it is not intelligent and probably never will be intelligent in the sense of being sentient, aware, and able to understand.
Windows 10 is really not that bad at all. I use it on my gaming system. The 'spyware' piece is trivial to mitigate, and you do not have to install updates depending on the version you get. You can defer them with Pro.
The 20th century was an amazing time. What makes you think we'll continue to progress at such an alarming rate? More directly, what makes you think this particular avenue, which has made so little progress, will enjoy the same rapid advancements we've seen in other areas?
What you're expressing is your deeply held faith in continued technological progress. You believe that progress is accelerating and that there is no upper bound. How would you defend those beliefs?
The rate that technology advances has been on an ever increasing curve for far longer than what went on in the 20th Century. The more we learn the faster we develop new technologies. There is no indication that said curve will flatten out.
EMC also owns other properties, such as RSA. The latter alone could be valuable to Dell. EMC would regain business that Dell used to send them prior to Equallogic.

Or they'll just get Juniper to do it.
Unfortunately SRXs also suck harder than a whore at Mardis Gras.

The majority of Americans believe that Satan is a living, breathing beaing who walks around the place, so... this is way down the list of priorities.
Wait...are you saying Mark Zuckerberg isn't real?

Most fads do gain a lot of momentum before they fade.
Fair enough. You care. The vast majority does not. Bitcoin and other 'virtual' currencies are a fad and will vanish in due time.
I came here to say this same thing, only I would have phrased it as 'Who cares?' or 'Who gives a fuck?'.

You're not just a troll, you're an idiot if you actually believe what you just wrote, or a plain liar if you are astroturfing or being a fanboi.
The majority of consumer SSDs are rated to run at 0-70C.
Granted heat is an issue, but will a company willing to buy multiple 1k-2k$ SSDs be skimping out on the high end cooling?
Not to mention skimping out on things like RAID, High Availability configurations, etc.
There's nothing wrong with GOTOs.
Correct, when used wisely, but real programmers use JMP instead (on x86/64).
I fucked up the quote. The last bit, starting with 'The rate...' is a response to the rest.

Those were the days, eh?
It wasn't my attempt, or do you not know how to read user names?
You really do need to get a clue about this site. It was never just about technology, and Tolkien has always been on topic here.
'News for Nerds' does not mean just tech stories. Sorry to break it to you.
Technically we are all African.
You really need to get a sense of humor, or have you not ever heard the crude expression 'bros before hos?' It was a joke. You can laugh now.
EMC also owns other properties, such as RSA. The latter alone could be valuable to Dell. EMC would regain business that Dell used to send them prior to Equallogic.
Why? Because many, many organizations have invested heavily in legacy software.
