I am an anti-Microsoft person. People will use Windows 8, I guarantee it.
Vista was a flop. Many people and corporations avoided it like the plague. It has already been replaced by Windows 7. All microsoft fanbois have already dropped Vista for 7, and all new computers come with 7 installed, not Vista. Yet to this day Vista is used by almost as many people that use Macs, and more than triple the people that use Linux. (according to this site: http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php , YMMV based on your favorite stat site.) While the stats can be second guessed, the fact is that this hated OS is still in use by a significant number of people. This proves that there are a lot of people that either like vista, don't care about their options, or are not even aware that options to change even exist.
There will be people who will refuse to upgrade. There will be people who will install a different OS whether that is Linux or an older version of Windows (with the assumption it is possible.) There will be people that switch to Macs. However, most consumers will not have any clue and buy Windows 8 because they are clueless in regards to the options and they will buy whatever the salesrep is selling, and eventually they will be selling Windows 8. This alone will sell Windows 8.
Many people, especially those prone to the manipulates of sales and market, will simply get Windows 8, and even ask for it, for no reason other than, "Well its the latest, and that must mean the greatest, so why would I ever want something else."
And of course, some people will truly like it and want it...
It seems like the obvious way to block this type of stuff is to pass legislation requiring government agencies to only purchase PCs that are free from such encumbrances.
Unfortunately, in this climate of Democracy to the highest bidder, Microsoft can still buy the best lobbyists/politicians compared to any other OS vendor. So if any law gets created/passed, I would expect it to favor the false god of "security" instead of openness.
Pron IS productive for these people. Aren't they trained constantly to launch their missile and have them explode. Watching porn is no more than a training video.
If we go to war and they are told to launch their missile and watch them explode, they will be ready and perform their duty well.
And if they watched enough "training videos" they will be able to control the timing of that launch and subsequent missile explosion with remarkable accuracy due to all their practice and training.
As much as I value the space program, I am questioning the need for designing a new space suit.
Congress constantly targets NASA for budget cuts...
With its limited budget NASA seems more interesting in robotic flights instead of manned flights. They seem to be using more things like the Mars Rover.
We do not even have a space fleet right now. The shuttles have been mothballed and sold off as museum pieces and we now send people to the space station by buying them passage on soviet vessels launched out of Kazakhstan.
The future of manned space flight seems to be private industry in the US. How come NASA is spending the money designing suits instead of the future space companies?
Most existing Steam users will still want to keep their paid-for Steam accounts on Windows 8. Thus Windows 8 appstore is hardly a threat to Steam, really. But Steam is certainly a threat to the Windows appstore, especially if every Steam user on Windows 8 ends up installing Steam anyway - and that could bring trouble.
What if the person doesn't like Windows 8? Yes, Valve is decrying it because it will hurt Valve's business model to have a competing Microsoft app store. But, love it or hate it, Windows 8 will be fundamentally different from Windows 7, and many users dislike major changes. Many people will not switch and hold off buying a new PC until their current hardware breaks. Most will remain a Valve customer on Windows 7.
But now, lo and behold, a linux version of steam gets released by Valve. Will it instantly convert the masses (or even a large percentage) to Linux? No way. It may convert a few, but I predict most people leaving Windows 7 will go to Windows 8; not linux. (If windows 8 gets a reputation as bad as Vista did on release, I would still wouldn't expect more than 5% conversion to linux, and that is generous figure.)
I actually expect that the people fed up with Windows will opt to go with Apple than linux, because thanks to iPhones and iPads they have learned that Macs are available to replace windows PC's. (Ask a non-geek about linux and many still give blank stares even if they have an android phone.) And while many may threaten to leave for a Mac, their thoughts can change back quickly when they look at the price vs. power argument. (this will happen even if the Mac is more powerful than what they will ever use... just because of the perceived value of the additional power.) Ultimately, I doubt more than 10-15% would go this route even with a poor showing by windows 8.
However, there is one type of person not represented... The existing linux user. It is not unusual for many linux users to either dual boot or keep an extra computer with windows just to play games. Now, if you tell them that they no longer need a windows machine, I expect the majority of these people to drop windows very quickly once they have a selection of games to play. (I expect this even if the catalog is 25% of the size of the number of windows games.) The only thing about this group that is beneficial to Microsoft is that this existing group is small; based on the number of people who browse the web with linux, this group only accounts for somewhere between 1% and 4% of the population. (And I truly believe the 4% figure is a little high.)
I came up with the 25% figure because of an earlier post of someone mentioning the amount of their library working when they moved to the Mac version of Steam. Due to the kernel and OpenGL, I would estimate a similar number of titles on linux.
I believe that 25% is enough to keep the linux users entertained so that they do not need to boot into windows or using their extra machine on a regular basis. Of course they draw of a strong game will get them to occasionally go through the hassle of using windows.
Remember, that 25% will not stay 25% for long... Valve seems committed to make linux gaming work. Most likely they are developing all future titles with code that lends itself to being cross platform. In addition, the humblebumble, has helped indie developers convert their games to linux and mac. (It is common for humblebumble games to be distributed on steam as well, so I am sure they will be made available cross platform through steam.) Then if you add the number of games that can run through Wine(even if not through steam), or in a virtual machine, and the linux geek will finally get rid of the windows box.
Overall, I do expect this to help Valve. They will create a cross platform game distribution system. People that shun windows, or don't want to upgrade on Microsoft's schedule will start
It is not a question of censorship. If you own a trademark and fail to enforce it, you risk losing that trademark. If Jack Daniels did nothing to this author, a few years down the road a competitor could theoretically sell a whiskey bottle with a similar design.
They are not trying to ban the book and even did the nice thing of offering to help pay to redesign the cover. They are doing no more then protecting their trademark and are trying to help the book's author come into compliance instead of sending the lawyers after him.
The business climate in the US is: old, entrenched businesses fight other old, entrenched businesses in a race for the cheapest shit.
Yo are right, but you did forget one point. They also speak with government (local, state, and fed) to get laws passed in order to limit competition and prevent new companies from growing.
Sorry, after shelling out $1,000 for a laptop, I don't want to shell out even more for a hard drive. (and if you look, 2.5" drives which fit into laptops are more expensive than 3.5" desktop drives.)
What I do is use windows' own shrink tool to minimize the windows partition (after removing crapware for extra space) and then install Linux with a dual boot setup.
I've had to ship them back to the manufacturer for warranty repair like this and I never had a problem. In addition, because I never use Windows, I set windows up without a password. When the manufacturer asks me for my windows password, I tell them it is not used, and I do not need to give out my linux password. They can use all their diagnostic tools without any problems. (With dual boot, I can also verify that it is a hardware problem and not OS related.)
(Also, yes, I never buy less than a $1,000 laptop because they generally are poor in quality and do not fit my needs as a developer.)
This is why I stay logged out of my Google account whenever possible and only access Facebook when I absolutely have to.
Facebook is easy... I deleted my account 2 years ago, and I blocked facebook.com fbcdn.net and related sites on my router.
As for google, I use ghostery on my main browser (But I noticed ghostery doesn't work against Google Analytics on chrome/chromium.) When I want to access my gmail account, I fire up a separate browser and use that only for gmail and exit the browser when done.
Any secadmin/netadmin who has hashes available or allows unthrottled passwd guessing is INCOMPETANT. Staff are paid for professional-level knowledge so users do not need to be concerned.
Actually, in most applications you need to blame the developers. (Full disclosure I am a software developer) However, companies would prefer to pay crap wages to people who don't know what they are doing instead of paying people with experience and knowledge what they are worth.
In addition many companies do not want to pay to increase existing security as that money does not provide an immediate ROI. They want developers working on high visibility features so that they can charge customers to upgrade, A MBA does not see the value in security until after it gets breached.
This is somewhat sarcastic, but unfortunately true.
A language succeeds or fails because the company building the language and/or the tools put on a dog and pony show for your company executives. They buy into whatever crap is being sold and programmers wanting a job learn that language.
I wish it was based on merits and how a languages performs certain tasks, but unfortunately the above is true more often than not.
After seeing the other comments, what you most likely want is a combination of noscript and ghostery.
IMHO, NoScript is the best way to browse the web today. It stops lots of video and over the top bloated javascript. For the most sites, some of their internal (same site) javascript is not too bad and these can be easily whitelisted. Allowing just the main domain to be whitelisted allows over 95% of sites to work normally with a bare minimum of tracking/analytics bs.
Ghostery is your backup... It gets regular update lists and blocks all the tracking, analytics, and web bugs (single pixel transparent gifs) Ghostery specifically is designed to block these and will block what noscript won't. (mostly the tracking images, but also the scripts if you don't have noscript.)
That being said this is an article about browsers and firefox... There is a version of both of this tools for other browsers. However, in chrome (and even chromium) Ghostery is not always able to stop Google Analytics. NoScript is only for Firefox (the last time I looked anyway) but you can find Replacements like NOTScript for Chrome. However not script is not as wasy to use or as reliable as NoScript and I am guessing it is the internal Chrome code that is hampering NOTScript.
You can be a complete knuckhead.. and write absolutely terrible code. But if your using java.. it'll still probably work and after a while of hacking out the bugs (with more ugly code) it'll attain a surprising stability.
And with this crap code, people will spend twice the amount of time (or much more time) trying to maintain it or even trying to add a simple enhancement. In addition, the system will be such a piece of crap that it will be short listed for a complete rewrite. A system with well written code does not need a rewrite every 2-3 years... It can last. I have web-based systems that are 10 years now and still do not need a re-write. When a change is requested, it is easy to find the right place to make the modifications and when you go back into a certain block of code, it is easy to understand what the code is doing even if you have not looked at it in over a year. That saves money in the long run, not cheap coders.
We get cheap coders because analysis of the business case shows you save more from the cheapness of the coders than you lose from the crumbiness of the software.
Please tell me where you work so I NEVER apply there.
You get what you pay for, and slop code will always cost more in the long run. In addition, an expensive developer who truly understands what he is doing will code faster and with fewer errors. Depending on how bad of a hack job is done by your cheap coders it may even save money with the initial expense.
Back in 2002, I was outsourced/offshored. I was one of the first to go because I found a new job immediately and left instead of training my replacement. I spoke with my friends/colleagues that were left behind and the first assignment to the offshore company would have taken me 16 hours to complete. They billed a total of 120 hours for the same work. In addition it went all the way into production and failed miserably with a syntax error... They did not even test it!!!
Now the outsourcing company actually told us that money was the only reason why we were offshored. They said that the client rate was $90/hour for us and $60/hour for the offshore help. If you do the math, that meant the project cost was $7200 for the cheap coders, instead of $1440 for the expensive developer. Not to mention, I am sure some MBA is telling the executives that their cost saving plan saved the company $3600 on this change alone and that they deserve bonuses when really, they just lost $5760.
The FBI has control of the DNS servers. Why can't they just resolve every address to point to a webserver instructing people how to fix their DNS settings?
You can also not answer the question "Did you stop beating your wife?" with Yes/No.
You can always answer with "I never beat my wife."
People are told to answer yes/no in order to have a definitive answer that can not be misconstrued. They want to avoid you sounding like a politician with meaningless words that make it sound like you answered but really didn't. The above answer gives a concise and definitive answer without walking into the obvious trap.
the lack of real, tangible, painful consequences from our actions is a big part of the reason why kids today are such little shits.
That was one of the most insightful comments I have read in a long time. Because I already commented myself in this story (and due to not having mod points right now) I am going to leave a story instead.
I was talking with my dental hygienist today while waiting for my dentist... She was a substitute teacher for Cobb County (GA) schools before the economy lead to drastic downsizing. It turns out that teachers there are not allowed to use red pen. According to the school board, red pen draws attention to the students mistakes and that attention traumatizes the students too much. (and yes we are referring to high school students.) In addition, outside of normal gym classes, competition is frowned upon due to the hurt feelings of the eventual loser.
It doesn't take much though to see the correlation between this and the reason why older workers are doing better in the workforce according to the latest unemployment figures.
Normally, I would agree... Lawyers do have a tendency to leech off society.
However, in this case they are probably saving lies. Admittedly it is probably unintentional in cases like these. In their greedy lust for money, the threat of possible lawsuits if an actual bomb does explode, will continue to have the university look out for the welfare of its students and staff regardless of the number of false alarms.
It's not really an invasion of privacy if you hand over the information yourself.
Is it still not a privacy invasion if you haven't been able to pay the rent/mortgage for a few months, your water and electricity are about to be shut off and somebody says "give me your password if you want this job..."
