Thanks for your insightful comment. Of course we disable those. These apps are not part of Suggested Apps (those only cover suggestions appearing in your Start Menu). They're instead part of the "Microsoft Consumer Experience", which can only be disabled in Windows 10 Enterprise (or Education), not in Pro.
Apparently MS believes Pro users to be quite different from Enterprise users. There used to be other ways to disable the installation of this crap, but MS has removed these over time. I welcome any solutions that actually work.
The even more ridiculous thing is that this happens even on the Pro version. The one that's supposed to be for doing work. And those "policies you can set that disable these apps from automatically installing"? Yeah, they don't work anymore. As a result every employee gets Candy Crush and the like installed on every machine. Absolutely insane.
The Carboniferous period is the source of 90% of our coal though. Coal formation during that time was 600 times the 'normal' rate. Apparently because the wood got buried and compressed instead of broken down into carbon and oxygen. The bacteria that could break it down evolved later.
My main complaint with Apple's new features of the past years has been that most have limited reach.
Things like Apple Pay are still not available in The Netherlands (where I live), years after release. Siri took years to arrive and is still far more limited than in the US. Other features are constrained to the Apple ecosystem, ignoring the fact that most users own and interact with various platforms. I've never felt a need to explore stickets in Messages, because barely anyone I know still uses Messages.
"The battery should last for approximately 1,000 presses. When the device battery runs out of charge, there is no way to recharge or replace the battery."
Exactly. Also, at the current, increasing, consumption rate reclaiming those large blocks would only add a few months to the exhaustion deadline. Most likely it will take more time to free them than it takes to use them up.
IPv4 is simply too small, no matter how we hand out the addresses. It's time to switch to IPv6. Those few blocks won't make a difference.
I guess you mean stars can survive for a long time due to the balance between the centripetal force exerted by the black hole (pulling the star towards the center of its orbit) and the centrifugal force exerted by the circular motion of the start around the black hole (apparently pushing the star away from the black hole but actually just inertia trying to make the star follow a straight path).
The Virginia region simply dwarfs the other AWS regions, likely by an order of magnitude, so there's a correspondingly bigger chance of failures. No magic required.
That's not really true. In Eve lore the capsuleer becomes the mind of the ship but crew are still required on a ship to perform certain tasks. A ship captained by a capsuleer simply requires fewer crew than a non-capsuleer's ship (such as an NPC ship).
The mininum number of crew ranges from 0 (shuttle) to thousands (titan). The exact number depends on ship type but also on the faction that designed the ship. Some have more or better automation, hence requiring fewer crew.
In actual gameplay the crew are never encountered or play any role in the mechanics.
Iain M. Banks underappreciated? He's a popular and celebrated writer, who easily sells lots of books.
I could say the same about Jack Vance, Roald Dahl and Kafka. The rest of your list are indeed unknown to me, and I read quite a lot of sci-fi.:-)
...or try to use them but fail and fallback to IPv4 a millisecond later.
Almost right. If the browser thinks it has IPv6 connectivity it will try, and it will fallback to IPv4. The fallback to IPv4 will take something like 30-60 seconds though!
That's exactly the problem Yahoo faces. People with broken IPv6 connectivity will experience serious delays when visiting their site. This has withheld other large sites, such as Google, from running dual-stack before. A test done by the large German website Heise.de shows the reality is not that rough. During one day they enabled dual-stack access for their website. Among the approximately one million visitors, only five experienced problems due to broken IPv6. After this experiment they decided to simply keep IPv4 + IPv6 enabled. See http://www.heise.de/netze/meldung/IPv6-Tag-bei-heise-de-Erste-Ergebnisse-1081201.html
Of course this percentage will vary according to the demographic of a site so, as Heise has shown, the best way is to test it. On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour "test drive". See http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/
- Other than Apple Airport Extreme, are there any IPv6 ready ADSL/Cable routers? My SpeedTouch716v5 supports IPv6, which means it doesn't block proto-41. I isn't able to set up an IPv6 tunnel to my provider nor distribute dynamic addresses to the hosts on my Lan, so i'm using a linux server to do that work.
I'm about to switch to an old Asus router, that has been flashed with the open DD-WRT firmware, which can actually do all the above by itself.
That might have been caused by faulty hardware. None of the people I play with complain about Eve crashing a lot. Of course it occasionally does, but no more than usual.
Haha. I can't blame you for trying. Well spotted, but fortunately just bad timing.
My ADSL router has been giving me trouble, so last night I tried replacing it with another one. I couldn't get it to work yet so it's back to the old router for now. http://ipv6.heemels.com/ should work again.
Of course coexistence is possible. It was designed that way. The proposal's point is to increase availability of IPv6 accessible hosts while leaving the IPv4 accessible hosts unaffected.
My pc runs both IPv4 and IPv6 because my provider (XS4ALL) is nice enough to offer experimental native IPV6 support. The protocols coexist but don't inter operate. So, I have some public facing servers on IPv6 that can't be reached over IPv4 since I have a/64 IPv6 netblock and only 1 IPv4 IP address.
The proposal's goal seems to be to break the chicken-and-egg problem that currently has IPv6 in its grip. Once enough people use IPv6 links, services will start to pop up that are no longer reachable on IPv4. Much later, IPv4 will lose interest because it's no longer 'the internet'.
Thanks for clarifying the OP's error, but why the patronizing tone? Most people on the planet don't speak English natively, and a large part of the Slashdot population is from that group.
Since you can't tell if the OP does or does not belong in that group, being a little less harsh would make the world a nicer place. Why not start there?
Although IMAP-IDLE is not true push email (the client needs to have an open connection to the server), it looks the same to the end user so is definitely a good option.
I agree that it's strange that I have not heard of an open standard for push email.
It seems that Push-IMAP and parts of SyncML are both attempts at an open solution. Funambol appears to be a widely used open-source mobile application server that supports Push email through SyncML. It has support for most types of mobile clients.
So, although I have no experience with any of them, it seems there is some work being done in this field.
Yes, considering windows is about $50 OEM, and is updated for features for about 5 years and for security for about 10 years. How many updates to OS X have there been in that time that have required purchasing the new OS? Plenty. That's not a fair comparison either. $50 OEM Windows is not supposed to be for sale without a new PC. A regular retail Windows will be at least the same as OS X. Furthermore, The 10 years you talk about is only for corporate customers. Consumers just get 5 years of support (or 2 years after a new release, whichever is longer). Check http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy. I agree that Apple has had more than two upgrades in a 5 year period, but the fact that MS hasn't doesn't speak in their favor actually;-).
Yes, there's a lot of bugs in Microsoft software. But that's not his point. His point is that Microsoft can (and does) push updates onto their machines automatically without (much, sometimes none) user interaction. I don't know what you mean, since during OS 9 Apple introduced Software Update, so OS X has always had automated updates available. The user usually only needs to click OK when the window pops up. Updates for other Apple software (for example the professional video applications) are automatically included if installed.
I'll give you this one, I can't find anything solid one way or the other, but even so, the last time I could find references to Apple using solaris were from ages ago... to the point they might not have even had OS X in full deployment.:-) Yes, the first version of OS X Server was not exactly production quality. That has changed tremendouosly however. It would be a shame if they didn't use OS X Server these days.

Oh, that's allright then.
I pity the sysadmins working overtime tonight.
