The idea of living and working in a country like the USSR may be enjoyable (save for those pesky disciplinary transfers to Siberia) but that system raped the environment just as much as the capitalist ones. So I have my reservations about that.
If you read the article carefully (or even just the summary) it is about skipping 3G and 4G. Then the article mentions SIM cards (though not directly about Cuba) and more to the point paying by SMS to receive a log in code. Ergo they do have a GSM network, which is also called 2G. No idea if it only does bare GSM (that can do expensive 9600 bps data if really wanted), GPRS is considered 2G and is data access, though useless for video.
LTE Advanced, Voice over LTE : that seems nice but GSM is damn everywhere on the planet and on small, cheap, high battery life phones that are have better quality on calls too (dumbphones). I'll go for it when there are VoLTE dumb phones:)
You're right but if the e-mail provider is evil, it can store all the mail anyway even if told to "delete" it.
Well, I am somehow trapped unless I switch to a less evil e-mail provider. Then I honestly feel like using the less evil email with webmail would be more secure than using the evil email with a mail client. No, I won't pay for a domain name and VM hosting.
And micro-SD go in more places than regular SD, but the latter is more easy to hold. This was senseless ranting ; every computer or device can have their needs satisfied in one way or another, so any new best thing wouldn't get hold on many computers or devices. Even generalizing an existing tech to every computer or devices doesn't get done. SD and full size USB are really close but it's uncommon to have them both - except if you constantly run into recent laptops, then it may be very common.
My other rant would be lack of bluetooth on desktops. I am semi-suprised that I can't buy a bluetooth PCI card, damn everything else is available on PCI or PCIe. Yes that's a very petty qualm as there are tiny USB modules, and unused USB headers on every motherboard.
A few such raised pathes may be really nice, but with bicycles we want to get to buinesses, stores, bars, housing etc. So we need to ride and walk on the ground anyway.
That's the point of having a body odour and a sense of smell?
I dare say that smells better than male perfume. The very idea that all real odors have to be neutered and optionally replaced with a few chemicals is disgusting. Even showering everyday isn't really needed much of the time, you can wash feet and face.
They formed the Ancien Régime, which is a way of saying they ran the country.
While I do not particularly promote the old social order and politics, the nobles and clergymen were the ones to do worthwile contributions to physics, chemistry, medicine and all other things etc., simply because they could afford to, what with not having to work and being able to get educated instead. After the second industrial revolution when child labor was replaced by mandatory schooling then the general populace could get a slim chance at joining the people not having to make any worthwile contribution, and that got increasingly better till now, where (sarcasm:) ) no one needs to do a meaningful contribution anymore : you don't need to be noble anymore to get welfare.
I've used webmail for about 15 years, and most people do the same. Configure the webmail to not show images, biggest issue is gone. I tried a mail client recently but I would rather leave the 8000 useless unread mails and other crap out of my PC than bog it down with it, lest bother with it on other PC or computers I can possibly use to check or write mail.
I did read the bug report and it makes silent connections, just not silent requests. So the website logged the IP address, which is often unique for years depending on where you live, and if you were on someone else's network the network admin may have logged that you made a connection to http://www.bighorsecocks.com/
Like , what about a modern floppy? Block-writeable media that you can give away. Enough with that internet shit or these flaky USB thumb drives that cost too much, are personal and sometimes require to kneel down behind the PC to plug them in. I would like a 1GB floppy that costs 1 euro and lasts 15 years, with perhaps the form factor of the 3" Amstrad ones (unbreakable, the drive belt broke instead)
I want some friends and I to exchange music, pictures, documents and so on. Minidisc would have been nice had Sony not played stupid games.
I want to read web pages too, but ever since Google Maps and other maps that work the same way, people want or need programs that run in the browser not just documents.
After the upgrade, youtube is running a html5 player instead of the Flash 11.2 one. I wonder if it's related to that.
If anyone knows how to tweak or disable the HUGE "warning" that youtube is running in full screen, I would like to know. Huge ass bold fonts get old real quick. On the plus side it seems able to play CPU-decoded 720p video in an overloaded browser, and the player's volume button is reliable.
What programs does it run? Can I run a bash terminal out of the box? Is it possible in any way to run something like KDE for tablets, or a different GUI? Are the scopes any good for something if you disable privacy-violating features?
What browser does it even use? I have many questions, in fact too many questions. Hard to know what the phone really is about. On the plus side it doesn't cost 500 or 600 euros..
Did you consider 20 students uploading high res pictures over a 1Mbits/s uplink? Let's imagine they merely upload 10MB each, simultaneously and for some reason they all get an entirely fair share of the bandwith. You will need at least 26 minutes. Just forget it. Try again when you have gigabit WAN such as consumer ftth (well, the equipment and fiber is gigabit, the service is advertised as something like 100 down / 50 up and the customer gets something around 200 Mbps almost symetrical..).
Where did you get the impression that the OS is free? I've looked at it and Windows 10 Home is sold (with taxes etc.) for 125 euros, Windows 10 Pro is 180 euros and on top of that, you still have to choose between 32bit and 64bit! So it's still the same old deal and you can bet the Server version will be just as expensive as the current one, too.
Alphabet is both a French and a German word, and it doesn't stop there. Go on the wikipedia page for alphabet (the real thing, not the conglomerate) and look at the many language options on the left column, mouse over them : majority of languages there have it as "alphabet" and very minor variations such as "alfabet", "alfabeto". Russian has it as "Alphabet", just written in Cyrillic. Same for many languages I don't recognize, or such languages as Turkish, Kurd, both Norwegian, Swedish, Basque.
Why set up Windows VM at all? It seems less wasteful to run one Windows OS for all students, well you would need one per site (Windows Server with RDS). One ûber-PC such as with 24 Haswell cores and 128GB RAM and a PCIe SSD (Intel 750 400GB or 1.2TB is cheap) would likely serve about 20 users or more very well. The Windows OS may run either bare metal or on a VM, that actually becomes an unimportant (or less important) technical detail.
Would be interesting if you get a discount on CAL and RDS licenses though.
Eh, why not have a dog accompany her! That would be very injurious to say that to a muslim or arab, though. In 20th/21st century Western countries, we wouldn't give a shit about that - dogs are "educated" and well fed, and a companion, rather than wandering hungry beasts lookedat with a mix of fear, contempt and whatever feelings you would get for something impure, not unlike excrements.
Islam seems to micromanage everything. If this woman thing is about safety from rape, abduction and "seduction" etc. and by reading some of the clauses in your link it would seem that strong rule of law would be enough, no relatives needed. But strong nation states didn't exist in 8th century (and non-muslim nation-state vs muslim realm or muslim nation-state is a funny issue on top of that). It's interesting that women's age may be a distinction : you wouldn't let a 14-year-old girl wander alone at night, usually, even with no Islam in your country. But what I've read from the link leaves a general "age limit" unresolved, me thinks they'll bother any woman under 50 or 60 or such..
I am no islamic scholar, I only have that enlightened guess that only muslims can decide these things for themselves, well in the countries they run. Or to decide to make the politics secular, which doesn't have to change all social norms.. If that holds, then the western media / websphere / blogosphere etc. attitude of telling them what they should do is out of touch. Christians and atheists telling them to fuck off, that they're from the Dark Ages, immoral etc. : well they've got our opinion but they don't like to hear such things lol. From an irreligious view, I believe that strong security and relative prosperity allow to ease on women's right issues. Too see what happens when you take away any semblance of both just look at the long list of countries ravaged by the carnivorous behaviour of US and allies in the last 13 years.

What's happened to slide out gaming controls? I would feel crippled with an Android device, because there's all that gaming hardware and the ton of software (including emulators and dosbox etc.) that is worthless with only the touch screen. I'd rather get a 1989 Game Boy because of that (can take a flash cartridge that you write from a PC). Gargoyle Quest is easily better than a generic slow motion zombie FPS controlled with paint-with-fingers.

You can be physically unfit for walking long distances, and use a bicycle instead.

In Soviet Russia, the children think of you.
In Firefox 1's days the web was still made for Internet Explorer 5 and dial up users, so it was a lot faster and more reliable than today.
But it's been only a few years that Firefox can e.g. open huge pictures or many of them without crashing.

If you could at least use a 500GB 2.5" single platter hard disk drive, that would be quite good. It's even a fair bit more than 12 x 32GiB.
