From wikipedia: "The name 4K is derived from the horizontal resolution, which is approximately 4,000 pixels."
You did not read far enough, 4K UHD is 3840 x 2160. It's not actually related to the rest of the article and goes off to it's own article talking about some of the history behind the development of UHD television displays.
You can insert a USB drive or SD card with videos/picture/music loaded on it, go into the appropriate app, and open them right from there. No need to go into desktop mode. Not sure why this reviewer is making it more complicated than it needs to be. You can alternatively open the drive in explorer and open whatever you like right there.
I think that's a reference to Explorer only running in Desktop mode. Also, he was using a preview version, so this particular issue may be dealt with.
It's not crippleware. But you go ahead and makes things you don't understand palatable by making things up.
Maybe not, but I will not be able to use it's version of Excel for HeroForge or similar utilities, all of which are consumer-only. Since that was my primary use-case...
"Plug it in over-night" <- this is a problem. That means that only people that own their own homes, or have very accommodating landlords can ever own an electric vehicle. The solution is a charging infrastructure on par with the gasoline infrastructure. However, it takes 510kW to charge a 85kWh battery to full from empty in 10 minutes. Keep in mind that the "charge" rate for gasoline pumps is 167MW.
That being said, I agree that Hydrogen is another solution to the problem, the "charge" rate can be as high as 2MW, which is sufficient to compete with gasoline, but at 700 bar would require a 30 gallon tank.
We will remove regulatory barriers that protect outdated technologies
and business plans from innovation and competition,
while preventing legacy regulation from interfering
with new and disruptive technologies such as mobile
delivery of voice video data as they become crucial
components of the Internet ecosystem. We will resist
any effort to shift control away from the successful
multi-stakeholder approach of Internet governance
and toward governance by international or other intergovernmental organizations. We will ensure that
personal data receives full constitutional protection
from government overreach and that individuals retain the right to control the use of their data by third
parties; the only way to safeguard or improve these
systems is through the private sector.
A Vision for the Twenty-First Century:
Technology, Telecommunications
and the Internet
The current Administration
has been frozen in the past. It
has conducted no auction of
spectrum, has offered no incentives for investment, and,
through the FCC’s net neutrality rule, is trying to micromanage telecom as if it were a railroad network. It
inherited from the previous Republican Administration 95 percent coverage of the nation with broadband. It will leave office with no progress toward the
goal of universal coverage – after spending $7.2 billion more. That hurts rural America, where farmers,
ranchers, and small business manufacturers need
connectivity to expand their customer base and operate in real time with the world’s producers. We encourage public-private partnerships to provide
predictable support for connecting rural areas so that
every American can fully participate in the global
economy.
But they can't help but wonder how many of these people would still require food stamps if they sold their car.
Most of them. A static $20,000 can buy certain things, but is a poor investment vehicle. It is not larger enough to earn actual income (since even with good work, rate of return isn't usually above 12%, or a $2400/year salary). The best bet would be to start a small business, but the failure rate of small businesses is 85% in the first year. The time commitment would mean they would probably need to leave whatever job they have. They might be able to sidestep this by using the money as an infusion into a struggling business, but they would then need to get involved with the business in order to really benefit. At $50,000 or $100,000 they might be able to live for a few years, but the end result would be similar. Although the higher monetary levels would possibly allow them to make multiple investments in order to hedge.
On topic: PARC was awesome, but impractical. The government actually did much here.
Democratic party, Minnesota. It was expected that people would know this information because he is a famous comedian/writer that ran for public office. Also he was not confirmed to have won until several months after the election due to recounts and challenges.
We have the most radical leftist president that this country has ever seen.
Please explain this, because from my view it makes no sense.
Specifically, positive examples of what would be considered leftist.
The ACA doesn't count as it involves private firms, and was developed by Republicans.
Of course, because of this, Ceres got a promotion (to dwarf planet from asteroid). It's why I wasn't as upset as I would have been otherwise.
The only problem I see with a Pluto-Charon binary planet is whether the other moons orbit the barycenter or not. If they do, it might make the case stronger; if not, it might make it weaker.
It depends on where you assess the cost. In this case I was assessing at the consumer level, so an employer's share wouldn't be counted in the cost (since it doesn't affect the buying decision of the consumer). For example, I pay roughly $1043/yr for insurance, so the penalty would cost more. This does not take into account my employer's cost (since I can't see that directly).
I actually love the ribbon. It makes complex features more accessible and provides a superior visual organization of features.
Assuming you already know where things are. If you are trying to do something new, you have the added step of trying to figure out what icon represents the task. Also somethings can be only done from the dialog boxes (accessed by clicking the lower right corner of individual panels inside the ribbon). Finally there is the Quick Access Toolbar, which mostly has things that didn't go onto the ribbon. It's placement on the title bar is annoying because by default I'm not going to be looking there.
and insurance companies that gouge their asses off and then dump you the second you file a claim.
I may be wrong, but I thought one of the main features of this law was that the insurance companies could no longer dump you. The mandate is supposed to be the remedy for the gouging (by including more healthy people in the insurance pools). One thing the mandate does do (indirectly) is set an upper limit on insurance prices, i.e. insurance must be cheaper than the penalty, otherwise people will just pay the penalty (if they're healthy and don't anticipate needing insurance).
I'd put some blame on the ease of applications too. It used to take a good twenty minutes or so to write a job application. Now, it's one click to send a form-email. Potential employees end up applying for jobs they haven't a hope at getting 'just in case' and employers have to spend time sorting through a mountain of chaff in the hunt for an application worth interviewing.
The article talks about this. The actual skills gap is caused by employers resorting to algorithms to filter applications. Because the algorithms in common use are too specific, they eliminate all candidates for the position.
The main myth of the skills gap is that people are turning down positions. What is frequently happening is that they aren't even getting through the screening applications. One of the key points is that the employer in the screening application has a maximum salary; if everyone puts down a desired salary above this number, then it appears that there are no qualified applicants.
You are correct, and the job could be a far away as 100km from your home...
That's only a 1-hour commute each way (assuming expressway access). It's outside of EV range, but still not too bad. At least where I am, between 30 and 40km is average.
Looking through past articles for the keyword FUD, I would say 2006. Obviously fanboy/shill articles show up as early as 2001, but aren't too frequent.
Well dog == wolf == dingo is true, they are all Canis lupus (C. lupus familiaris, C. lupus lupus, C. lupus dingo).
Coyote and Jackal (and occassionally wolf) are used for other species within the Canis genus, so are closely related.
Foxes are members of the same sub-family, but a different genus, so the least related among the bunch.
Also Canis Lupus and Canis latrans are able to produce viable offspring, but the viability decreases across generations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canis_lupus_X_Canis_latrans
Part of GP's complaint is that he doesn't necessarily know or can discern the meaning of the symbols. Also, it took me roughly 20 minutes to find the icons on the title bar the first time I used 2007 because I was not expecting there to be icons on the title bar.

Would this be because of the influx of Americans that move there after their preferred candidate loses the upcoming election?

My reading:
Regulation = bad, Regulation = bad, ICANN = good, Private Sector = good, Obama = bad, Net Neutrality = bad, Private Sector = good
TFA also says he has several patents and papers on memristors.

When did this site devolve to fanboy vs. shill?

Really makes a case against libertarianism, though.
No, it really doesn't.
Under libertarianism the program wouldn't exist therefore the children would starve.
