If the current Windows 10 updates are this evil, imagine what they'll be like when users have no alternative.
You mean like the growing user base of Mac, Linux and *BSD? And Android... They are going to push a lot of people away. And even if it is only 15% that will change the landscape in ways they can not imagine.
However, I don't see the need to get a laptop from an inch thick to 1/4-inch thick either. That comes from the pursuit of the new shiny toy that looks cool, not from a functional reason.
Actually, small is good for some people. Essentially, all they need is a Windows tablet with a real keyboard, and they do not want to lug around a lot of weight.
I believe it was mainly forced on everyone for introducing DRM crap and to sell expensive cables and VGA would do well enough. Digital is not always the best.
This! And it is the reason they are trying to kill VGA.
Who the fuck wrote this piece of shit revisionist ignorant blurb?
Not to mention a total BS premise. They have been saying the serial port is dead for DECADES! And I can't tell you how often my USB floppy drive has been a life saver at a client with critical data on floppy and no floppy drives to read it!
And does the moron know that the DVI ports that are now on most motherboards HAVE FUCKING VGA BUILT IN?!?
Because I think it would be fitting if everyone were to forward him big packages containing all the unsolicited mail they've received recently. After all, that's "content" too, right, so if you don't want to receive it, you're "subverting freedom of the press" that allows anyone to send advertisements unsolicited to whoever they want and regardless of how annoyed they might get, right?
Nah... Just wander into his house at random times and tell him how you feel directly. Make sure you stand in front of whatever he is doing while you do it. And dance. And one in a while, try to hack his computer...
Agree... Something for a 10-15 year old. I would try an antique graphing / programmable calculator. You get math, graphs, rudimentary programming, and that antique cool factor.
If it's so easy to track then how do coin thieves get away so easily every time?
You are confusing "simple" and "easy." It is simple to track, but it takes work. Like it is simple to clean out the garage, but it takes work. Not every LEO will do a lot of work for a simple pot bust.
And today it wouldn't be a problem to drop the printed money and only run coins. At least it would be more cumbersome for robbers and drug traffickers.
Well, that and a popular stripper's bottoms would look... disturbing.
Don't build any software on top of a 3rd party library unless it's open source or you have a permanent, non revocable license. Failing that, have a contingency plan for when they shut you off. This advice goes quadruple if planning top build a business off said software
Now this I totally agree with. When your business or project is totally dependent on the behavior of someone else, it is not "your" business or project. Not totally anyway...

I need Azure powershell for work. Too bad ps will not run in linux...
Really? http://superuser.com/questions...
Yep. They just made all those alternatives (Android tablets, chrombooks, Mac, Linux...) a lot more attractive.
Hiding does not work. The update the patch and that "un-hides" it.
And after all they work of training users to keep systems patched, Microsoft goes out and makes patches a bad thing. Nice move!

It's very confusing how Mucrosoft says they want everyone to upgrade, but they block Vista and all Enterprise versions.
Well, that does make Enterprise worth the money...
Only DVI-A and DVI-I ports are compatible with VGA via an adapter. You'll never connect anything VGA to a DVI-D port.
I have yet to see a motherboard with a DVI-D port that did not have a VGA port next to it.

No, they replaced that with Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, Thunderbolt and USB-C. All of which are very small.
Not on anything I own... Other then the tablet which I do not plan on hooking up to a large screen any time soon. (ever)
I want well ventilated, repairable devices. At least the VGA plug isn't as flimsy as some modern connectors.
But soldered on memory that you can not upgrade and non-replaceable batteries are the future!
Um, WHAT THE FUCK???
CGA? EGA? MDA? Hercules? NTSC? PAL? SECAM?
"and is by far the longest-lived port on the PC."
Serial port?

I wonder how he would feel if I came into his home and started randomly shouting my opinions at him and hacking his computer?
lol, you really do not know 10 year olds do you?
I know some treated like 5 year olds, and some treated like 15 year olds. Which ones do you think are more mature?

Well, you could use an exchange, but there is a good chance your BTC might be swiped, Mt. Gox style.
Or third party swiped Cryptsy style. So many ways to get robbed here...
Lol!

Strippers do. Trust me, never try to "make it rain" with dollar coins.

and give the finger to google.
Because porting a stable and working project takes no time or energy...
Symantec is not on the list. Lucky surprised me.
Must have been filtered by their antivirus...
$50,000 per class member because they feel like they were forced to make a what, $200 upgrade at this point to a 5 series?
But after the attorneys take their cut, that leaves only a $50 iTunes gift card for the users...
