The reason their are such objections is Windows customers aren't used to Microsoft calling plays.
The reason there are such objections is that the 10% mindless people that just follow somebody else were already buing Apple*, and Microsoft got only those people that had a personal oppinion as clients.
Superficialy, that looks like their customers aren't "used" to them leading. Indeed, if they had positioned differently from the start, nobody would be complaining, but that is because everybody that is complaining now wouldn't have evern been their customers.
* Please, don't create a straw-men with the reciprocate of that. You know logics, right?
I made mayself the same question when I first read the headline. But Acer does probably have some kind of contract with MS (like everybody else) that prohibits them from selling Linux computers. That means that they can only sell useless OSes, and the people that need more will replace them with something more powerfull.
(And yes, altought Android and ChromeOS aren't completely useless, they don't have many uses. Their native software stack sucks - except for social networks, games, drawing, and media consuming. That may change in the future, as there is nothing exactly wrong with the base OS, but it's the current situation.)
The DBA's (with no root access) set up the encrypted database.
And the DBA team is always there when a computer starts to type the encryption key password. You do plan to encrypt the key, right? And how do you make sure the admins didn't install a keylogger?
At the real life, you trust whoever made your hardware, whoever wrote your softwares, whoever have physical access to your computers and whoever installs software on them. There is no way out.
Somebody must be able to revert those backups, fix problems at the file server, replace disks, set-up those encrypted backups (what includes typing the key into the server), and a ton of other tasks that involve access to the machines.
People think that the ones they see and talk to are more human and more important than the others. That's everybody.
The problem is that those managers aren't interest in know the people they are managing. So, they see and talk with a minimum number of people, specialized in talking to them. As a consequence, anybody specialized in doing real work is trated as less human, and not important.
I have no idea on how to make big organizations work.
No, a VPN by itself does not matter, what matters is that you put no resource besides internet accessible to whoever just authenticated into your wireless network. Anything that matters is inside a firewall, that people can traverse using a VPN.
It does not make the attack fail, it just protects everything that is important.
(And about having to authenticate at the access point, and the VPN, well, both are automatic, it shouldn't be a nuissance.)
It is basicaly an opt-in system. Except when the government actively puts money on it, or passively accept externalities from it. Or when the Law coerces people into investing on the coorporation, or a million other situations where our society simply isn't fair. Yet, it's basicaly opt-in.
Limited liability is a subside from the wealthy to the entrepeuner. And the subside is actively granted when the wealthy decide to hold an interest on each entrepeuneurship, it's a completely opt-in system.
That is, except when any government money enters into the question.
Yeah, studying assembly and writting the op-codes by hand are also important. But C gives you another point of view, one that is central to understanding the modern world.
As I already said, one of the key design principles was not to add overhead unless you explicitly ask for it.
I don't think they fullfiled that objective. C++ does a lot of hidden operations that a naive developer won't even think about (I know, I was naive once, and for some idioms I probably still am). You must know quite a lot of things for it to be as efficient as bare C.
So, I for one, when asked by my ISP, will enable this filter, to help protect my children.
Your ISP won't ask, and will push the filter into everybody that doesn't complain... And will certainly mark the ones that complain, for further studies.
Now, do you get what's wrong with it? By my part, as a father of a young girl, I want she to inherit a society that is not completely fucked up... Not that I care about what you do there at UK, but I can not share your perspective.
Remember its Samsung that wouldn't play nice with Apple inspite of a large portion of the BOM cost from every iphone going right back into SAMSUNG's pockets.
You mean "not playing nice" as in "being sued all over the world for no good reason"?
You are missing specialized applications written specificaly for that kind of system. What is indeed an easy thing to miss, because they don't exist, as that kind of system didn't exist until today.
I would have brought a few 3 years ago, but I don't have a need for them now.

Who the hell thinks that is funny?
Is the answer that 90% of the job can be automated because most admins never bother to write a script?
That's an easy decision. The NSA don't need computers and all that information technology anyway.
Maybe I shoud repeat the GP agan.

Ok, point taken.

Yes, and yes. I have no idea if it half a decade, or two decades, but that's the timeframe.
HDs also lose their data, but that takes a lot longer.
And where did you provide those references?
Don't be so sure. I bet the NSA cares quite a big deal about keeping your internal documents.
Google isn't on a cruzade to destroy all free software on the planet. If MS loses, we win.

Nice tip. Looks like a great way to save time, without reducing one's accuracy.

The "spying on your people" thing is older than 9/11. The Prism slides start at 2000, it may have started by then, or earlier.

GPUs are SIMD, while this board is MIMD.
I wonder how the fallout spread.
Are you talking about iOS, Android or Windows here? r is it Symbian?
