This exactly. I don't see cord cutting as has reached it peak by along shot. If any thing, it is just now really beginning to take off. Cable TV, as it has been, days are numbered. Even the broadcasters know that. It is why you have Disney and CBS trying to start up their own streaming systems.
I predict that that cable tv's current business model might have 10 years left. Then we are going to see a more networks start off with their own apps on a device like Ruko. Now the question will be if we will have to pay for all those services. My thinking is we will not. I doubt people will pay 10 a month for dozens of different channel apps and subscription service.
I would disagree. I've used windows DFS and found it to be cumbersome and unreliable. I set up a glusterfs between several nodes on linux and it was elegant and reliable.
Of course these are just my experiences, doesn't mean your experiences are any less valid.
It's got nothing to do with systemd. Most users don't know or care if the system is running systemd or init. It's only an important topic for system admins.
The reason that people are not abandoning Windows for Linux is pretty simple. Windows is a much better, and supported, general purpose operating system for the desktop. It has more tools for doing general office work, desktop publishing, and video editing that Linux has. This is just the nature of the beast.
But that doesn't make Linux useless for the desktop. I've noticed that Linux desktops tend to occupy more specialist niches. An this is where the Linux desktop shines. You can completely customize it for the individual task. The fact that it comes with tools to do this out of the box is a bonus.
Severs is a different story. Outside of active directory I really can't think of many things that Windows Server outshines Linux on. Linux simple makes a far better general purpose server than Window Server does. Infact if it wasn't for AD I doubt that Windows Server would have the presents it does.
As one of those people that abandoned Directv Now after my promotional expired, all I can say is good riddance. The DVR service was horrible, 20 hours or 30 days I think, and they only allowed 2 streams. Three if you where willing to pitch in a extra $5. Then they where going to raise the price $5 for the package I had. I kicked cable to the curb for that bullshit.
PSvue is superior to directvnow but doesn't have the history channel. Which is why I left it and went with directv now. But I've found that, for me, nether directv now or psvue are worth $50+ a month. I found that Philo, $14 a month has everything my family wants and is pretty cheap.
By the middle of the next century, many of the world's major cities will be flooded, and in some cases, entire island nations will be underwater. The people who live there will have to relocate. But to where?
I broke my moderation to point something out here. Does any one really think that we are going to sit by and let major cities flood? We have had this technology for centuries called dikes. Many cities are built below sea level and surrounded by dikes that do just fine.
Of course this doesn't mean there won't be other problems. *cough*New Orleans*cough* But I don't see us just sitting around and letting billions of dollars worth of realestate flood when it can be prevented.
Well maybe people would be more on board if you got your stories straight. I just read another article where it said the coral reefs where recovering just fine. Now they are dying off again. Well, which is it? Make up your mind.
You might also have more luck if you didn't let idiot freshman dingbat congress critters write the script.
What about interest? Basically what is happening here is you have provided M$ with a interest free loan here. It is not what it was supposed to be, but it is essentially what happened here. I say if they are going to force a refund on a product, they need to provide the refund with far market interest rate.
But more importantly, you should be able to say "no."
Instead of wondering how to pronounce it, we should be asking "who gives a shit?" This argument was all the rage in the BBS days, in 1989. Today, nobody uses gifs so who gives a shit?
Well I don't need to imagine it. When I use my samsung pay on my phone, a electronic receipt is sent to my phone after every purchase. It should be just as simple for a app to do the same thing when you use your debit card.
Most retailers around where I live now ask me if I want a receipt. Some offer the option to email it to me. I decline and go for the paper every time. I have enough shit coming into my email box.
It's not the paper receipt itself that is the issue. It's the volume. I bought a pack of gum in walgreens. A whole tree was used to print the receipt. I swear the reams of paper that came out of that machine weighed more than the pack up gum. That was bullshit. The receipt shouldn't have been longer than a couple of inches. Don't get me started about the bails of useless coupons....
Can't seem to recall any one saying that. What I do recall is there was a significant effort for everyone to have their own custom processors, PowerPC, Sparc, PA-risc, Clipper, etc etc etc. All of them eventually gave way to the x86.
It is the very definition of hypocrisy. We have endured 2 years of the mueller farce listening to "wait till mueller reports." Well he did and since it doesn't read like they want it to read they are ready to change the rules.
TDS is what you have. It's when you refuse to accept reality. Repeat after me. There was no Russian Collusion. There was no obstruction of justice. Trump won in 2016, Hillary lost.
Now repeat this every morning if you are a US citizen. "Trump is my president. Nothing I can say or do will change that. Trump is my president an I accept that. "
... because she won the popular vote and Trump is a looser.
Except she didn't. Once the illegal votes where removed from the record, it is clear that Trump won the popular vote too. Notice how nether of the parties are harping on that any more?
We saw the King on television obstructing justice on a nightly basis.
If we did maybe you should have brought that to the attention of the Muller team. You could have been a star with that kind of evidence. Oh wait. There is a problem with this. We didn't see Trump on television obstructing justice in any way.
We have been enduring the Muller farce for the last 2 years. All that time Democrats have been screaming to protect it and 'wait for the Muller report to be released.' Well it has been released and just because the out come doesn't match your warped view of reality, you want to ignore it.
This is the very definition of Trump Derangement Syndrone
The police are not on your side, unfortunately. Don't talk to them without a lawyer, you will get burned.
This exactly. You have the right to remain silent. Use it. When sat down to be question say this exactly, only. "I want my lawyer." Then shut the fuck up till you see him.
Mod correction. The parent post should be moderated as +1, Insightful. Please apply your mods bases on factual content and not personal preferences. This way we can keep the mod system working as it is supposed too.
The fact that it is the Huffington Post automatically means the article loses all credibility. As the article stated all the man is doing is correcting articles and it getting paid for it. If the articles are correct and can be proven to be so, why does Wikipedia care if he is paid or not?
Here is my suspicion. This individual "corrected" some article that the liberal writer of this article didn't like. Since the author couldn't change the truth, he has decided to start a smear campaign against the writer.
Yes, It's time to bail. If they don't want people to take advantage of their free services they shouldn't offer them for free. I'll be moving all my crap over to OneDrive, I guess, since I have 1 TB of space there.
The best option would be to set up my own cloud storage system. I think Window 10 has something like that built in but I think I would be better off going with something that runs on a penguin. Any suggestions?
There is no such thing as "artificial scarcity" on the internet. The only thing this will do is drive up traffic to sights like pirate bay. Home of the 24 hour stream.
Being cashless doesn't prevent employee theft. There was a local story in the news today where a woman at a cluck and chuck was using her phone to take pictures of peoples debit / credit cards.
I consider it to be a status symbol. I have at least half a dozen that follow my every post and mark them "overrated." I call them my overrated ducking. I also have one that I will not name that has been trying to troll me for a year now. It gives the ego a real rush.

Sure, except that MS *IS* refunding purchases

demand jury trail!
Demand a trial by combat!
