Yeah, because there is absolutely no synergy between a company that produces electric cars, and a company that empowers people to produce their own electricity at home... where they keep their car.
Many large companies are using the Pro license, because they don't want to be on the hook for annual enterprise licensing payments. I know of at least two Fortune 500 companies that are using Pro licenses for their desktops and laptops, and I imagine there are many more.
This is Microsoft applying a group policy crowbar to get them onto "Software Assurance."
You're assuming that Putin, or the Russians in general, had anything to do with this. This could easily be scapegoating on the part of the DNC trying to spin a very embarrassing document leak into some kind of "our candidate is so strong that the Russians are afraid of her" horseshit.
They're probably laughing about the whole thing, waiting to see which idiot they're going to have to deal with come January.
Is anyone really surprised? Between the DNC Chair being a Clintonite in previous campaigns, the absolute refusal to add more debates to the schedule because they only showed that Hillary only had the same tired old ideas that haven't worked, etc.
Everyone knew this "nominating process" was rigged from the start. These emails just add more confirmation to what we already knew.
I said that both of them were the most liberal viable candidate at the time they were still running. Which is still true, unless you somehow think that Trump is going to enact more progressive / liberal policy than Clinton would.
It's almost shocking that the electorate in Portland would shift from the most liberal candidate (full stop) to the most liberal remaining viable candidate without a single thought of hypocrisy.
No, wait, that's exactly what Portland always does.
Yeah, now let's have that Intel GPU do some actual 3D work and see how it performs at 4K. Hint: it will be terrible, which is why Nvidia is still in business.
Please now back up your assertion that there is some magical affordable GPU out there that can render modern 3D software at 4K or 8K at a constant 60 fps with a link to some kind of... what do we call it? proof.
This isn't for simple video playback, numb nuts. This is for 3D render, and massively parallel floating point math (read: CUDA apps).
Sound cards, at their core, are just creating analog frequencies from a digital source. This is a well understood mature technology, so there's not much to do there except reducing distortion and improving snr.
GPUs however, still have a scale issue - simplistically, the more pixels you drive, the more horsepower you need in the GPU. If we would have stayed at 1024x768 then the GPUs we have today would be massive overkill. But we didn't - a 4k display has more pixels than 10 1024x768 displays, and we're doing far more math per pixel now then we were in 2001 with that bitchin dual Voodoo2 setup doing SLI. And we're not slowing down on the scale either - Apple already has 5k displays in iMacs, and you may have noticed that practically all manufacturers are stuffing more pixels per inch into even small devices in order to get better quality displays - all of this requires far more GPU power to work.
I get the sentiment, but we've always got people crowing about corporations not taking the long view in favor of pumping up the next quarter's filing. What if the numbers from this 10-Q don't match what she's saying because Yahoo is looking farther than 3 months ahead?
Yay, slashdot fails at less-than and greater-than symbols. Should have read "far more fuel than cancelling [less than] 100% of your eastbound velocity to land on something that is further east"
cancelling 100% of your eastbound velocity and thrusting back to return to where you came from takes far more fuel than cancelling 100% of your eastbound velocity to land on something that is farther east.
That's all well and good, except that the past shows that conditions the government impose have no actual teeth behind them. Nobody bothers to check to see if the conditions are met, and if someone finds out the conditions were not met, nobody bothers to actually impose any sanctions or punishment whatsoever.
We're now 20 years into the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and very little of it has actually been implemented, other than the excise tax that the telecom companies happily cash the check on, and never deliver what it's supposed to be paying for.
I know you're being funny here (and obviously it whooshed right over some other mod's heads), but it always cracks me up when people quote ridiculously high percentages of growth.
It's fantastically easy to have 1200% growth when your starting position is one customer.
But if they never increase the backhaul once the packets hit actual wire, they still have the same clogged shitty network that gives them justification for data caps.
Who cares what the flow rate of tap water is at your faucet, if there's a clogged pipe feeding your whole house a drip at a time?
It's the 2016 update to the language of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. And this will be another federal payment to the same fraudsters that already made hundreds of billions on that scam without anyone of consequence noticing.
Polls are used to predict, but the poll itself predicts nothing other than what the people polled would do right now. Statistical sampling allows extrapolation within a margin of error, and if there is a trend in the tracking polls where someone is consistently ahead, it's probably time to stop talking about margins of error, unless there is a consistent problem with the sample being polled, or the poll isn't asking the right questions and introduces bias.
Also, Future Trump could make some huge gaffe - this time one that people who like him for the job actually care about, unlike all the other numerous gaffes that they seem to not give a shit about. Or Future Clinton could have a massive stroke and Sanders gets the nomination after all, making this previous polling data completely useless.
Todays poll would have nothing to say about those events.
You're correct about it being a huge assumption, especially since Rasmussen's latest poll of likely voters has him 7 points ahead, which is outside of the margin of error: http://www.rasmussenreports.co...

Yeah, except someone got a felony conviction behind that.
Who's even indicted over the much larger breach of information security represented by the Clinton email fiasco?
Absolutely nobody.
So maybe you should redirect your misplaced outrage a bit.
Who the hell would declare war on Canada?
I had no idea that Uber was a "high tech" company.
A fantastic service and good idea? Sure. High tech? Not so much.
Except for the US Dollar being the standard reserve currency for every single country on the face of the planet.
Because clearly Slashdot is a good sample of reality.
No wait, it's the opposite of that.

In my mind, this is the real question:

Good job arguing with something that nobody said.

Given track record, it's unlikely, but still.

Strangely, telecoms don't even make the top 20 for Hillary.
You're correct about the banks though. They are, by far, #1 for her. But I'm sure she'll regulate the shit out of them once they buy her the election.
But if they never increase the backhaul once the packets hit actual wire, they still have the same clogged shitty network that gives them justification for data caps.

Yet another subsidy to the telecoms to not deliver what they promise, and then go completely ignored by the government.
Sincerely,
my bi-directional 45Mbit access from the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that should have been available 10 years ago according to the Act, and the hundreds of billions of dollars paid in the form of excise taxes by the public.
