If an enterprise has locked themselves into applications that run only on Windows, they are stupid and deserve to pay Bitcoin ransom for their stupidity. The writing has been on the wall for many years and most app vendors who are not luddites have (at a minimum) a web version of their software. Chromebooks have no need for desktop management. It's much easier to manage the network that a bunch of malware infested Windows boxen.
Does Google Docs allow you to manage your files and use Office-like features and interfaces offline, and without absolute reliance upon the cloud to perform the simplest of tasks within your company?
They are a very crude tool using broad, flawed algorithms. If you want a real appraisal, hire an appraiser. Real estate professionals know they are wrong but they will be happy to use them as an excuse to try to knock down the price of a house they are buying or pump up the price of a house they are selling. I have no idea of their legal standing but it seems this suit is on shaky ground.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of schools scamming veterans. They offer fairly useless courses and the government pays. Of course it would be good for veterans to learn coding but it should be a properly accredited school. It looks like there is a mechanism in place to properly vet (sic) schools and it should be followed. Pizza and beer do not necessarily make a good school.
Hard to tap this since there will be many (? hundreds) of downlink points scattered all over the world. Not saying that it couldn't be done but it's a non-trivial problem.
OMG! Righteous outrage! This update is only for people who have given Chrome auto update permission. If you give them permission to update your software, you might expect that they will update your software. If you don't want it, don't give them permission.
Don't get your shorts all twisted up, there. This update is only for people who have automatic update so they have given Google permission to update their Chrome.
That's the difficult part. I would start with "non-commercial"... that is, no ads, nobody trying to sell me stuff. That will make a much smaller Internet. All I really need is Wikipedia, messaging, communication and access to service manuals for all of the junk I have. Access to the news is also useful. What do you really need?
The current Li-ion batteries installed in cars such as the Tesla should last at least 10 years. Of course, they haven't been in the cars 10 years yet but some cars have traveled over 200,000 miles with less than 10% degradation.
India just opened the largest solar plant in the world and it only took 8 months to build. Much faster to install solar than anything else. (Coal plants take years and nuclear takes forever) http://www.aljazeera.com/news/...
India just unveiled the world's largest solar plant: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/... It only took 8 months to build it. India will be the third largest solar market this year.
I agree. Except we must ask if anything really useful has been added by all of the monetized services? I have many more options to buy stuff. Is this good? I have many more people telling me what to think. Is this good? I have many more options for corporations to track all of the details of my life. Is this good? Would we be better off with a much smaller Internet which provided only basic services? (We'll never know.)
Colossus was a special purpose calculator built to decode messages. It wasn't a general purpose computer and wasn't Turing complete. "- it had no program inside itself. A person used plugs, wires and switches to change the program. This is how it was set it up for a new task. Colossus was not a general-purpose machine. It was designed for only one code breaking task. That task was counting and Boolean operations. It was not a general Turing-complete computer, even though Alan Turing was at Bletchley Park. This idea had not yet been invented, and most of the other early modern computing machines were not Turing-complete (for example: the Atanasoff–Berry Computer, the Harvard Mark I electro-mechanical relay machine, the Bell Labs relay machines by George Stibitz and others, or the first designs of Konrad Zuse).

Throw out the desktops. Give everyone Chromebooks. No management issues.
Just sign in and you're good to go.
It uses a wonderful feature of Windows called docm which allows scripts.
If you go to TFA, you'll see this brilliant Windows software in action.
Ditch MS Office
Use Google Docs
Workstations are disposable... just re-image and sign back in
Sounds like a good prescription for Chromebooks
Does Google Docs allow you to manage your files and use Office-like features and interfaces offline, and without absolute reliance upon the cloud to perform the simplest of tasks within your company?
Short answer: YES
OMG! Complete, absolute morons.
The management should all be fired.
Are they using Windows computers for sensitive health information? ... morons...
Are they using Windows for mission critical applications?
Sounds like it already is...

Thanks for this information.
I'll try it out on my 4 year old granddaughter.
Quick... tell Elon that his scheme won't work!
I'm sure that some random person on slashdot has better information than SpaceX.

Tesla is a privately owned company, not a publicly owned company.
You can invest,or not, depending on your assessment of the business.
It's not like the Trump family who uses the government to promote their businesses.
That's the difficult part.

The batteries will be in cars for 10 years or so and then they can be recycled for their valuable materials.

We don't need no stinking EPA website. It just confuses people. Too much information.
Let's simplify government!
