For some vegans, it has little to do with the treatment of animals, and everything to do with health benefits. Eggs and dairy, and even lab-grown meat are still from animals, along with the negative health impact that it implies.
For the record, I am not vegan -- I love bacon, pizza, and hamburgers too much. However, eating less animal products so that I can live longer seems like a good idea.
It seems to me that every x86-64 CPU also has virtualization. Do you think that it might be possible to use virtualization "under the hood" to get 16-bits to run without having to install a 2nd OS? In other words: use virtualization without the user knowing or caring that virtualization is even being used.
So, can anybody tell me why a 64-bit OS can't support 16-bit software? Is this some sort of laziness or artificial limitation imposed by Microsoft, or perhaps something caused by the 64-bit mode in the CPU itself?
An extension to the "name brand" thing -- why is it that most cases for an iOS device include a cut-out so that you can prominently see the Apple logo? Even brands like Otter that are known for extreme protection make sure that they include an extra area that can get scratched just because users are afraid that others might not notice the brand of their phone.
From the screen shots, it looks like XRDP is another one that shows an entire desktop, just like VNC. Thanks, but I will pass. I like solutions that are "windowless" where, on a Windows client, the Linux windows work just like Windows windows (if you know what I mean).
My current company has "Exceed On Demand" which works just fine, but is NOT open source, or even affordable for the average person.
X11's main flaw is that it's supposed to be inefficient. It might be, but I've never noticed any significant difference between user interface performance on Ubuntu vs Windows or Mac.
Try tunneling X over a VPN connection from home to work. It sucks for most applications. Apparently there is a lot of "back and forth" between the client and server where latency is multiplied by orders of magnitude.
This was years ago, but I installed NoMachine's NX server (version 3.x) and things worked very smoothly, almost as fast as being local. NX eliminates a lot of the "back and forth" in "X" which demonstrates that you don't really need that extra overhead in the first place.
However, NoMachine seems to have screwed the pooch with version 4.x in that they only support a virtual desktop (like VNC), which makes it MUCH less desirable to me.
So, yeah, I am perfectly OK with something to replace X if it is a lighter weight protocol and can natively support remote sessions without having to jump through hoops to get usable performance.
This ban has NOTHING to do with what logo is painted on the aircraft, but depends entirely on the airports involved.
Flying from Paris to Chicago? Middle-Eastern and American airlines have the same rules -- electronics allowed, even on a Middle-Eastern airline. Flying from Istanbul to New York? Once again, same rules for Middle-Eastern and American airlines -- no electronics, even on the American airline.
So, explain to me how this is supposed to prefer one airline over another? I am really waiting to hear this one.
In an ideal world, regulation would not be necessary. Sometimes the threat of regulation is enough.
Take maturity ratings for games. The government saw a problem and proposed passing laws for ratings, so the industry took responsibility and set up its own rating system, removing the need for the government to mandate it.
Hopefully the threat of a new regulation will cause the airline industry to come up with its own standards.
they want $4k for the cheapest model. At that price, this is vaporware that will never condense into our reality.
Huh? I am not sure that I follow. If they were asking $400, I would say that it is too cheap to be a real product. At $4,000, you should be able to get one with a gold-plated case.
If you pay me $4,000, I will happily buy a $2000 Razer Blade, install Ubuntu on it, and cheerfully hand it to you with a handshake and a smile.
Just some math for you, for giggles. Don't read too much into it.
Back when I was a kid, computer display used fonts of an 8x8 pixel matrix, and that was perfectly readable.
Now, using 8x8 characters, you can get 70 characters horizontally and vertically in one square inch (plus a bit of a border). This means that you can fit 4,900 characters in one square inch, and they SHOULD be legible (maybe not comfortably).
This screen scores approximately 565 pixels per inch. The average human eye cannot make out this much resolution -- I know that my eyes can't at my age.
Why pay for resolution that you can't see without a magnifying glass?
As an EE making custom silicon, I can say that the job market is very... mixed.
The biggest problem with the industry, as I see it, is that the jobs are geographically limited. I currently have a job in a state that I love. However, should something happen to this job, I have very limited prospects for a new job in this town. In general, chip design jobs are largely in places that I don't want to live (and generally near huge cities). California, Illinois, and New York? Nope. I wold rather panhandle. Washington/Oregon? Maybe, depends on the area, traffic, cost of living, etc. Texas? Yeah, maybe, but it is pretty hot and humid there. Florida? Yeah, I left there because of the heat, humidity, and hurricanes.
So, studios gain money from more DVD sales, but loose money that they could have gotten from Netflix. As long as the two amounts are approximately equal, then why would the studio even care?

Yes, a race where we attach weights to the good runner so that everybody finishes the same, no matter how hard they trained or how fast they are.
Nope, it is a proven fact that coffee is good for you.
If you drink exactly one cup of coffee per day, there is an extremely strong correlation between drinking coffee and living longer.

Since you seem to have some clue about this.....

Funny how the alt-right seems to support Milo Yiannopoulos, and he is very openly gay.

32-bit Windows can still run 16-bit programs natively.
64-bit Windows cannot run anything 16-bit at all without using something like DosBox.
OK. I admit that this is not generally important to most people, but it is one (maybe the only) advantage of 32-bit Windows.
They wish. Keeping it cool is going to be the hard part.
Also note that I saw no mention of an FM tuner on this thing either. Generally, phones with tuners use headphone cords as antennas.
Yeah, why bother getting local music and information free over the air when you can stream it and burn through your monthly data in a few days?

Typing "Otter iPhone Case" into Amazon yielded this as the first result, which proves my point: https://www.amazon.com/OtterBo...
I do not ever recall seeing a case for an Android phone with a logo cut-out.
Don't forget that the CEO of Mylan is the daughter of a Democratic Senator.

I wonder if you can get free delivery if you have Prime?

What is MOST amazing is that Apple is putting an INDUSTRY STANDARD on an iOS device. Is it snowing in hell yet?

Yes, this used to be the case. However, now that you need a damn microscope to even see a pixel, it does not matter so much any more.
When $100 may mean the difference between your kids eating that week or not, what you ask can be hard to swallow.
I think that I said "most" and not "all."
Look for updates for lower-end devices. Try manufacturers like LG, Alcatel, or HTC. Updates for phones under $100 are few an far between.
