I haven't check lately, but when I last tried it MS Office still launches faster under WINE than LibreOffice on the same Linux computer. Ergo it's not just Windows preloading that accounts for the difference in launch times.
The stock market of the 1920s was very different from the stock market of today. Back then, the market was infested by greed-crazed slimeballs and get- rich-quick speculators with the ethical standards of tapeworms who shrieked "buy" and "sell" orders into the telephone with no concern whatsoever for the nation`s long-term financial well-being.
Can someone explain to me how the Seagate ST4000DM005, of which they had sixty running and a single failure in a quarter, equate to a massive 29.08% annualized failure rate?
They make an attempt to explain that case at the bottom of the page but it makes no sense to me. With a single failure causing such massive spikes I'd be leaving them off as "insufficient data" or at least introducing some error bars.
Incompetent? You realize their mission is not to keep you happy, right?
Their mission is to keep you (the product) using their service and to manipulate the content you are exposed to in order to maximize exposure for their customers (the advertisers).
They just have to keep it entertaining enough to keep you below the threshold of annoyance below which the cost of leaving exceeds the cost of staying.
Slashdot Mirror
+1 for this, and the Lightning CalDav plugin, for which there is no viable replacement (except perhaps Evolution).
2) Facebook sticks ads in the middle of videos. I suppose YouTube could do this sooner or later, but right now they don't.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?!
I want to know what locale does not yet have YouTube inline video advertising.
The rest of us have had it for years. Well, before we all installed adblockers, that is.
And YouTube should go back to being a dating site.
A good reminder for us tech-savvy folks to keep an eye on our gkrellm windows when browsing.
A steep climb in CPU usage or GPU temperature could be a sign of one of these jerks using you as a mining rig.
So do they perhaps mean "F-35" syndrome?
Tesla is really going places in 2018.

And heating up the planet. How many gigawatts-hours of energy have been invested into mining these things?
Dave Barry summed it up nicely:

Whereas, today they use computers.
Do they understand what net neutrality means, or is it just sloppy reporting?
Yep, that's pretty much chucking a bowl of them into a microwave oven on low power for a bit.
So they're a payment aggregator, yes?
Our shareholders aren't happy that we're haemorrhaging market share so let's make our subscription based cloud offering look more attractive.
[1] Well, several in fact, but my experience is that heaping praise upon a good company often leads to them being swallowed by an evil behemoth.
Notice how Windows 10 adoption slowed down significantly about July 2016, when the forced (sorry, "free") upgrade period ended.
And as for the trend in Q3 last year - how easy is it to even buy a new computer with Windows 7 now?

MS not actually following the fake standards they published.
Dirac is a very small scale stuff. Mainly pushed by the BBC and hence only used in their echo-system.
This is possibly the best pun I have seen in a long time.
That wall of babble serves as a great example of why we need royalty-free codecs.

Yikes, sorry I asked.
Also I shudder at the thought of trying to move a window on a laptop, by title bar or otherwise, while holding it in one hand.
... within the next nine months, before it burns up in the atmosphere.
Sputnik blinked? I thought it just beeped, or moo'd or something.
Of the three today so far, this was the easiest to determine the answer.
Yes, even easier than the woo-woo "Do particles have consciousness?".
Do you have only one working hand?
