You'd think checkboxes would be the simple answer but tristate checkboxes (Checked/On, Unchecked/Off, Indeterminate) make things interesting.
You get tools vendors like DevExpress whose Indeterminate state is, depending on the theme, either fully clear (looks Unchecked/Off) or a filled in (could it be Checked/On) such as this example.
Why can't everyone settle on the horizontal line to represent Indeterminate such as this example?
Farmbot.io is cute for backyard gardens and indoor drug labs but it doesn't scale to the tens/hundreds of acres/hectares that commercial farms typically cover. I'd expect to see something like farmbot's tool rigs getting dragged along behind automated tractors like a modern version of a plough.
I can think of two motivations: if it's not the regular tall poppy syndrome that most of the internet haters depend on then it'll be fossil fuel companies trying to keep their dying businesses alive.
I second this. Samsung is completely crap at providing firmware updates their TVs and Bluray players to fix fundamental issues with their software. e.g.: Typically the audio and video formats supported in the user manual only work over USB-connected storage - I've never once had a Samsung product able to decode all allegedly supported formats over an "AllShare" network connection.
The guidelines for smartphones call for features able to differentiate between drivers and passengers within cars, so that only the driver is shown a simplified and restricted view.
Which leads to the question: how exactly do you differentiate between a driver and a passenger?
Windows, of course, will throw a blue fit if you try this
What makes you say that, exactly? I just used gparted Live last week to migrate my Windows 10 installation from an old Intel 180GB SSD to a new Kingston 480G SSD and had no problems whatsoever. I wouldn't expect moving drives between identical hardware to be any different, but systems with different motherboards, NICs, GPUs, can all be booted in Safe Mode to install the required drivers.
Are you serious? That's like saying all those millions (billions?) of dollars companies poured into Office training were all for naught when Ribbons replaced menus in Microsoft Office. The activities are the same, most of the keyboard shortcuts are the same, it's just a matter of finding things in the menus if you can't rember the shortcuts.
Obviously the uneducated troll moderators are out today. I for one think that's hilarious given how thoroughly shit USR modems were, especially the 56K ones I was continually replacing for customers.
With iOS 9 Apple shortened the Home button timings for Siri. I'm regularly annoyed by Siri popping up when I'm just trying to unlock my iPhone with Touch ID, so I expect your complaint about Macbook Pro's combined power/Touch ID button will in fact catch a number of people out.
Apps don't execute code. Since these idiots don't undertstand this, dismiss it as the nonsense it is.
FYI iOS apps are compiled to binary code, which is why you can't use any dynamic runtime code generation on them, and so *could* be vulnerable to this type of attack. i.e.: from C#-based Xamarin apps you can use Reflection.Emit to generate code at runtime on Android, OSX and Windows (which leverages the JIT features of.NET/Mono/Dalvik), but you can't do this on iOS because they're pre-compiled for specific processors before getting packaged and uploaded to iTunes app store.
Someone out there thinks it's important, too -- over a year ago it was answering a billion questions a week, just for iPhone users (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2015-06-08/siri-how-many-questions-do-you-answer-per-minute-).
Seriously? When have you ever asked Siri a question and gotten the right answer *the first time*? I'd wager 80% of those questions are repeats because Siri kept fucking up. That seems to be its failure rate for me, anyway, especially when I'm trying to dictate messages while driving in a car.
Mainly it's C-level people wanting to spend $10,000 per end on LifeSize teleconferencing units. Most other people are happy to voice chat while in their underwear (or not) and have the other parties completely unaware of this.
Like it or not the programming world runs on libraries. And BASIC is, well, basic and doesn't have any libraries.
You used the screen argument for BASIC... that's all it can do - interact with a text-based terminal console. And a static one at that - BASIC doesn't deal with the modern world of "Holy crap, my terminal screen just resized!"
Want to open a serial port to talk to a modem or another computer? Sure, Perl and Python have built-in support for that. BASIC does not. And I mean vanilla BASIC here, not Apple BASIC nor QBASIC which added their own extensions for this.
Want to open a USB device to interact with it? e.g.: one of those USB dart guns, a robot arm or even an Energizer USB charger. Sure, Perl and Python have libraries to do that. BASIC does not.
But is it a problem that there's no beginner's programming language currently shipping with Macs? Over the years Macs have shipped with Perl, Python, Ruby, tcl, and a Unix shell. Do you think Apple could encourage young programmers more by also shipping their Macs with BASIC?
AppleScript, Python and Perl are all installed on your shiny new Mac - you've clearly never opened a Terminal window to see the latter two. Would it be helpful to ship with BASIC as well? Not in my opinion.
(B) The people who are designing the government tests epically suck at their jobs, should be fired, and have competent people hired in their places
It's not that they suck at their jobs. Due to "fairness, transparency and accountability" requirements any testing methodology they come up with has to be fully documented and given to the manufacturers ahead of time. Manufacturers being the scum-sucking bastards that they are will, of course, run all these tests in their own labs ahead of time and tweak the crap out of things so they come out on top.
OK, so my information is a little out of date, but it's still not news. Microsoft's NVMe drivers have actually been in-box since WS2012 and Windows 8.1: Working with NVMe drives
And totally incorrect news at that. What a load of crap.
The SSD isn't using any kind of RAID - it's an NVM Express SSD module and Linux doesn't have NVMe driver suport yet. It incorrectly reports it as RAID. This has been known about since at least July, http://askubuntu.com/questions...
Windows doesn't have NVMe driver support on installation media, either, which is why you have to download the NVMe driver from Microsoft if you want to reinstall Windows from a disc.
I've got 15 tabs open across six windows at the moment on Firefox for OSX. It's currently using 1.04GB but stays open for days at a time - it only gets restarted for System Software updates and the ocassional Angular web site going pear-shaped.
Going to about:memory shows that about 1/2 of that (483 MB) is consumed by gfx-textures, about 1/4 (253.29 MB) by the js-main-runtime component and pretty much everything else spread out through the heap-allocated collection.
They DID make an 800k 3.5" drive for the apple II, but it was not popular, as it needed many expensive upgrades to work.
Bollocks. The Apple Disk 3.5 worked out of the box on the Apple IIgs (and was the preferred drive sold with it) and worked on any other Apple II/II+/IIe that had a SmartPort controller. You're probably thinking of the UniDisk 3.5 which was, definitely, a pain in the butt on Apple II's but had its own onboard programmable CPU that made it "interesting" for copy protection strategies (and breaking them).

That's 25,000 overseas people to replace U.S. positions.
How do you quanitfy a "large rollout" of Windows 10? Don't forget DoD is still using 1970's era computers with 8-inch floppy disks and CRT screens.
It's been a publicised setup feature since at least Windows 2000, WIndows XP and Windows Server 2003!

You don't say? Find me a current model car that still has a manual linkage between the accelerator pedal and the carburettor butterfly.
