Is management. And their inability to adapt to changing markets.
Its often a sign you got too large for your britches and/or became complacent, but either way in the IT market you adapt or die out to make room for someone who does.
I think what amazes me even more than getting Inferno running are the responses here and other place. How few people ( outside of the Plan 9 community ) actually seem to understand what is going on here. Even when you explain it to them.
I really thought 'geeks' were supposed to be smarter than this, but it they look more like regular users that are just wearing a pocket protector to look cool.
You mean the interface is not pretty. I have never "seen" an OS. And that interface is not set in stone, this is just a start to get the core OS running.
Also, pretty is relative. And you are right, java is the reason your android phone is slow as mud.
Cable colors for external and internal network is still a good idea, avoid any 'accidents' if you have 1000's of servers.
I disagree about labeling with server name. Do both name and 'bay code', so that in case your book documentation is wrong you still have one last chance to verify you are yanking the right machine.
And yes, velcro is better for cable if you change it often. Zip ties if you rarely/never change it
Is actually what is being discussed here. Executive should be able to act in the best interest of the company without having to reveal items that could negatively effect said plans.
Being forced to reveal everything you have *planned* to what is effectually the competition would pretty much destroy businesses that compete with each other.
I still see arcade machines out there for sale, much cheaper if they are broke ( even better for this use-case ).
Sure, extracting that code is really complex, but if you have the box in the basement ( even if its dead since i don't think your license gets revoked when a machine breaks ), i don't see a problem with downloading it.
if it is private property, you have no legal requirement to display your license plate
There is if the owners of said private property require it. I know of some that also require parking passes to be displayed at ALL times while on property.
I can make it a requirement to have blue hair or you are trespassing. Thus you are legally required to have blue hair while on MY property.
This just goes to show that we rely way too much on technology and not enough on the actual person.
Sure its great when things work and makes our lives easier and can do more with it working, but if we have to scrub a basic mission due to losing it, then we are screwed.
As long as they don't have DMV record access i tend to think its not a huge deal, even tho its 'automated'. Without that data, its just a bunch of abstract numbers stuck on various makes and models. ( am i happy about it? No. Would i boycott their mall? Yes. But its not a huge deal )
Now that said, if they actually have DMV record access and can tie a plate number to a person on their own, then we have a problem that needs to be addressed by the courts as that is NOT public data in the first place.
While there may be some gray area debate about 'fair use', but if you want to stick with the moral high ground, i don't see a problem with buying the game on a cart at your local store ( be it new or used ) then copying the data off to use in your emulator. ( im also assuming here you have an old console in the closet, just to be 100% legit )
One step further, since you own the physical cart ( and license to use it ) i don't see a problem with downloading it. It's only 'piracy' if you don't own a license.
Also, the actions of your roommate could bring down the man on ALL of you, and you get all your stuff confiscated and have to defend yourself in court.
Not much different if he had drugs mailed to the house, you are all in trouble when the postal service finds out..
If I would have kept up with every single disc I swear i wouldn't be able to even walk in my damned apt, and if scum sucking lawyers like in TFA start using that excuse to make fishing expeditions frankly we're all fucked.
You mean when, not if. We are watching them lay the foundation for laws such as this where they can just point at a street block and shout 'search all those houses'. Or even to the point of the upcoming IPEA ( Information Property Enforcement Agency ) to drive around and randomly searching peoples ipods and laptops.
For the real thing. You cant replace the feel and knowledge that real hardware that you have sweated over and burnt your fingers building.
And if you can tell me 'its the same difference' sitting down at a modern PC running an emulator and actually holding the real thing in your hands.. you are either lying or a sad excuse for a techie.
Will this be a true return with quality kits that actually required you do do something and 1/2 way understand what you were doing? Or more like the later cheapy 'insert chip into this socket here beacuse we told you so' type of kits? ( or worse.. insert card here and pretend you built something.. )

It wasn't this bad in the old days. But i agree, its past time to jump ship.. But where to go next?

Rather disappointing.

Doesn't matter who you work for, if you are on the clock, you are on their time.
Who is going to dare study science or do research with threats like this?

Should have never got rid of that jumper that required a little bit of human protection.
The beginning of the end.
And other bloated tech.. and we will never need it.
Perhaps hes stacking the deck in Google's favor?

Well, since 99.9% of the movie going public could really care less, it would be a waste of effort.
They are first in line to be sued.

Seriously, how many companies make them? It could be an effect of that, or just be ( unwritten cooperation ) price fixing between retailers.
Strong enough to have an effect, depending on the audio you feed to them?
