Not surprised really, Atom seems a bit redundant between Core M and Core i3. Interesting to see which one pfSense goes with.
Since pfSense is software (as well as M0n0wall, SmallWall and t1n1wall) that can run on an x86 CPU, they will "go with" whoever makes a sold and cheap fanless Mini-ITX board. This market used the be the Via Technologies, and seamlessly moved to Atom, and it will seamlessly move again.
Funny enough, 16.04 was the first Ubuntu release I have looked forward to since 10.04. And I had a lot less trouble and bugs then I expected. (And I run Gnome Flashback, not Unity) And so much less trouble then installing and updating Windows!
The majority of corporate desktops are Windows with many Win32 legacy apps. There is no way to run any of these on Android or iOS. An Atom phone running full Windows would be the ideal choice for this but no one seems to be interested in making one.
A lot of them won't run On Win7 or WinX either... Hence a lot of companies with Virtual XP desktops for them, or old Windows Terminal Servers... And a smart phone does RDP just fine.
No, because I can go exchange my cable box or modem to time warner any time it breaks or a new one comes out
If I buy and it breaks I have to buy another one. And 30 years of open windows and Android has shown me that open standards mean slow performance
In Houston, ROI on a cable modem purchase vs rental is 5 months. And my cable modem is 2 years old. And as far as exchanges go, Mircocenter has shorter lines than Comcast, and Amazon delivers...
They've already tried this with CableCard, and except for TiVos and some in-TV setups there wasn't a big debut of third-party yes-you-own-it-outright equipment.
They also did it with cable modems, and it works very well. I am using a Motorola Surfboard 6141 that I bought at MicroCenter right now. So it can work...
Yeah, those cable customers are going to drop their cable TV service to watch Netflix... on their cable internet connections.
Obviously this is something they do not want or they would not be trying so hard to get me to add cable to my Internet. And if enough people do this, there will not be enough money in "cable boxes" to make the fight worth while. The ironic part is that Comcast (and many other cable companies) allow you to use your own hardware for Internet already and the world did not end.
Trump, and Bernie, and Cruiz, yes. All are very anti-establishment. All establishment Republicans were decimated early. Hillery is ahead on gaming the system more then votes, and people are noticing.
You don't think this is actually about child porn, do you? You can't be that thick, can you? You must understand, even at a very basic level, that kiddie porn has been, and always will be, a lynch pin in the restrictions of your rights and freedoms.
We must outlaw encryption because.... TERRORISM! But... the terrorists didn't use encryption. KIDDIE PORN! EVERYONE HATES THAT! I've called this so many times. In fact, if you go through my post history you should find some posts on the Apple case with the FBI, where I literally said this exact this is going to happen (unless I posted as AC, depends on the computer i'm at).
They've used this to fight piracy and boost copyright laws. They've used it to completely destroy usenet. And they are using it now to destroy encryption.
And the best part of all of this? The NSA and any law enforcement agency that bothers to ask, already likely has access to the network these images came from. This isn't about stopping child porn, and it's not about protecting kids and putting pedophiles in jail.
It's about outlawing, or neutering, encryption because it takes slightly more effort to spy on you if you use encryption.
It has never been about child porn. Ever
And not moderated +5 Insightful or Informative yet? Must be early...
Between "No child left behind" and no discipline allowed, there is simply no way to teach many students today. And because they are not removed from the classroom, the rest of the kids that still have a chance are prevented from learning. It does not matter what curriculum you pick. If they refuse simple instruction (like take this quiz) there is no hope.
Actually, Google *doesn't* allow you to use any service on any platform you want.
Never said platform... The fact that your phone does not run the things needed for Youtube is not google's problem. But you can watch youtube videos with more then just the google web page. And you can use many different programs for gmail, or google voice, or google maps, or... You get the point.
If there's one thing that should be clear by now, it's that normal users and advanced users don't want to use web-based UIs! They always give an inferior experience to native apps, regardless of the platform.
Most people want more then one tool in the toolbox. Native apps are not the best for distributed use. Personally, I want a choice.
People don't use services like GMail or Google Docs or Office 365 or Dropbox or Facebook because of the web UIs. They use them in spite of the web UIs! They want the unlimited email storage, or the ease of sharing files, or the ease of sharing private/personal info with advertisers.
You know that Google allows you to use almost all of it's services with whatever app you choose? I have two gmail accounts and I use Thunderbird. This allowing of user choice is one reason they do so well. (Even if they did totally screw up imap...)
This is where the web technology advocates really strike out. Users don't use web apps because they want to; they use them because they want the back-end service, and there's often not a native client provided. When native clients are provided, we typically see users opting to use them instead of the shitty web front ends.
And these guys offer a native client as well. But when you want several people working on the same document, it has to be non-local for someone.
Collaboration... And easy way to work on documents together without having to install additional software. A conference call discussing the scope of work document while you all work in it can make a several week process into a one hour process.

For embedded boards, Atom was a fucking godsend. Also for small low power servers there is nothing that even comes close to it.
This right here! I am going to miss the small, cheap, and fanless Mini-ITX boards I used for storage servers and firewalls, and I doubt I am alone.

Windows Server doesn't run on bare metal? Are you sure about that?
Oh, it CAN, but no one does... I have even virtualized single server installations because it makes backups and snapshots easy.
No, because I can go exchange my cable box or modem to time warner any time it breaks or a new one comes out If I buy and it breaks I have to buy another one. And 30 years of open windows and Android has shown me that open standards mean slow performance

one of the few govt agencies that is actually trying to do consumers some good
..by doing what, inventing the cable card again? Ignorance.
Yet it seems to work well for cable modems. I do not rent mine from Comcast...

Nor is insulting the monarchy. http://www.theguardian.com/wor...
Unless you live in the US, where you can insult the monarchy. And in Switzerland, you can share copyrighted works.
It's OK. I have Karma to burn if I need to post unpopular truth. It is funny when you look at my post history... All the -1s are unpopular truths. :)
Corporate heaven?
Lackeys, not heaven...
You are now a target.
These days, if you are not a target, you really can not be trusted.
Or, Hollywood insiders tell bought and paid for US government spokes people to call Switzerland...
The world in general needs to grow a pair and tell the corporate-owned-US-government to go fuck itself to death.
So do US voters. And I think they are finally trying. It may not work this cycle, but when change still fails it will piss off a LOT of people.
Depends on who you are. Personal rights always look bad to people in control. Just ask China. They call the US a heaven for improper speech.

Most of the people I share documents with are not in the building. If they were I would walk over and look at it on one screen.
Disaster recovery. Collaboration. Probably remote access.
Of course, he is not alone in missing that... :)

Only two states have locations that far south, and southern Florida real-estate ain't cheap.
