Users don't want a text editor. They want a program like Word or *Office Writer.
This is complete BS. My guess is that the person who spearheaded the Linux migration has left and now the remaining IT managers want to go back to what they are comfortable with.
Last year (?) a teenager was able to get over the perimeter fence and get on a plane. Later, they announced that they did not have the money to properly secure the fence. Depite this, exactly zero planes have been subject to terrorist attacks in the USA.
What do we infer from this? The risk from terrorists trying to blow up planes in the USA is indistinguishable from zero. I can't be the only person to realize this.
The administration must realize this, yet, they persist with the ridiculous rules about flying. Clearly, the searches, the no-fly-list, etc. have no connection to terrorism. There is some other reason for their existence.
Reasons for the searches, no-fly-list etc.? Money? Control? Something else?
Really ??? Was it Jeb that said that and does it extend to all the tech professions in the U.S. ? If so he's got my vote. That will take care of the whole H1-B problem in a shot and guarantee people in Tech fields much more opportunity.
"In the US" is the crucial point. It won't apply to programmers abroad, leading to even more international outsourcing. Yeah, less H1-Bs, but no jobs either, unless you want to move to India.
The NSA is our new overlord and conscience. So I'm contrarian here and curious: what did AT&T get out of this?
Money. AT&T charged the NSA for access to their network. The linked article is from 2007 and suggests that the only way for a backbone provider to make money is to sell access to the government. This is not new information for anyone who has been watching.
The article says that it's worth $2 million, not that that is what it cost.
I doubt that it is worth $2M. I suspect that $2M is the list price for this device, but since it is a first-generation device it is probably sold with a very large discount. This particular unit might be a used device, returned to the manufacturer.
Then you are doing it wrong. That's not a problem with Linux instead it's PEBCAK.
Funny how it's never Linux's fault.
Other people don't have the same problems as you do. Occam's razor suggests that the problem isn't Linux, rather, in this case, the problem is the user.
Yeah, people who haven't done the math don't understand the tradeoffs. Buying costs a lot more at the start. You don't get it back until the very end of the process.
Bullshit.
Had I not bought my house 13 years ago, I would be paying more in rent than my net housing costs (after tax effects are factored in) are now. Yes, my cost was a little higher initially, but after my first re-fi, that changed. I am reaping the benefits now.
Unless you expect to have flat income your whole life, the reason to buy earlier isn't to save money, it is to be able to covet the property. Mine mine mine. Mine.
No. The main reason is that, when you buy a house, you fix most of your housing costs, while rental rates will continue to increase. With a flat income, you eventually won't be able to live in the same house, if you buy, the point at which you can no longer afford your house will come much later, and when it does, you will very likely have a nice profit on the sale.
If you wonder if ground loops might be a bogus concern, you've never worked in pro audio.;)
Ground loops are a real concern in many audio hookups, but not for these cables, which have no way for the shielding to connect. Only the twisted pairs can connect and none of these carry ground.
Is it even worthwhile to use an app like that to save a few cents on gas?
I go out of my way to avoid one brand, irrespective of price: their pumps are old and make it too easy for people to install card skimmers. Since avoiding this brand, I haven't had problems with my credit card being cloned. When I bought from this brand (at the gas station closet to my house), credit card fraud was a recurring problem for me.
Actually, in pro audio ethernet is used with proprietary protocols, handled by black box ASIC chips with special switches. I deal with this crap in the studio. Where I am they use it mostly for the personal mixers providing monitor outputs, but some places use it for inputs too.
I seriously doubt that pro audio provides a large enough market for ASIC chips, unless the chips were designed years ago. These days FPGAs have taken all the low-end market for ASIC and high-end ASIC have vast NRE costs.
As for proprietary protocols, why? The manufacturers might claim this, but how do you know? Using proprietary protocols when there are well established industry standard prototcols only increases price and very rarely provides any performance improvement. Again, with the size of the pro audio market, does this make sense?
You can use high powered lasers in short pulses to compress and heat a fuel pellet to achieve fusion. A particular approach called fast ignition requires a petawatt pulse
I think that should be "a very short pulse" -- but pulses used for ignition are much higher energy -- from 70kJ to 2MJ, according to your link.
I would not believe anything in the article, though, since the writer seems to have a very poor grasp of basic physics:
Two quadrillion wattsit self is a massive amount of output. The burst only lasted about one picosecond (1/1,000,000,000,000 of a second), so while the energy output was incredibly large, the actual amount of power (energy divided by time) the LFEX used wasnâ(TM)t all that big. When it was all said and done, the laser only produced enough power to run a microwave for about two seconds.
I am talking early '90s. As I said, that incident resulted in a softening of the policy. Even under the old policy, jeans were OK, it was shorts that were forbidden.
Decades ago, at Texas Instruments in Dallas, one of my colleagues was almost fired for wearing shorts in the middle of summer on a Saturday. After that incident, the dress code was changed to allow more casual dress outside normal working hours.

Let me suggest tht you add another domain, which earlier today was serving ads that in my opinion are malicious:

You actually think that SCOTUS is bound by the literal text of the Constitution. How naive of you.

Did you notice that the city is migrating to Office 365, not Office? Apparently not.

Except in the case where the police violate the 4th amendment.

Not any more
I once interviewed with a company like that. Years later, I figured out that they were working on nuclear warheads.
I doubt that it is worth $2M. I suspect that $2M is the list price for this device, but since it is a first-generation device it is probably sold with a very large discount. This particular unit might be a used device, returned to the manufacturer.
If the original was legally uploaded by the copyight holder, then surely Vimeo's terms give them the right to continue hosting the original video?

Also Prudential Securities has a /8 block. What for? Probably they had an IT guy with some forethought in the early days of the Internet.
Didn't Sun Microsystems also have a large block of addresses? What happened to those?
Bullshit.

I think it will be in 6.7, which is being prepared for release now.

What this implies is that the contractor that Universal employs to send takedown notices has an illegal copy of Jurassic World on their own system!
