You're forgetting who owns all the wires and routing devices it would operate over... Just because it uses a new protocol and is called "Internet 2.0" doesn't mean it wouldn't have to operate over existing infrastructure.
Why? A cornerstone of the internet is that no one should be able to hold all the cards. While I'm not a big fan of Russia doing it, ideologically it's good that *someone* is. The more the merrier in this space, imho.
1) Yes, getting a DNR tattoo would be insane if you didn't really mean it. 2) It's not a legal document because there are no signatures, no notarization, and if you start treating one tattoo as a legal document, you have to start treating ALL of them that way. There's nothing to "prove." It simply is not a legally binding agreement/contract. 3) No, because they did not have access to the DNR documentation at the time. In this case they had to go through unusual channels to get the document, and acting on a DNR requires that you have the official, notarized DNR documentation. 4) It doesn't matter what the intention/point of the tattoo was from the patient's point of view. It's not a legal document, and that's just a fact.
For all they knew, the tattoo could have been an artifact of previous poor life choices, and nothing more than a joke. A tattoo is not a legal document. Imagine if it HAD been a joke, and the family sued the pants off the hospital for denying treatment to their family member without a formal DNR request?
It sounds like they did pretty much everything right, and ultimately obtained the legal documentation that stated he definitely was a DNR.
Sounds like you're quoting a bunch of ignorant drivel from the Vista days...
- It's extremely fast. It cold boots for me in 5 seconds after posting is complete. I'd also like to see your competing system run graphics intensive tasks using the latest and greatest graphics hardware and even have a chance of competing. "Slow" is about the stupidest and most ignorant claim about Windows 10 that I've ever heard. - Installing software is a nightmare? I guess clicking an icon and clicking "Next" is too complex for some people... Definitely SO much harder than mounting a virtual drive on your machine, extracting an app from it, dragging that app to an arbitrary folder (or running an installer), and then unmounting the drive. - "I can't move an app after I install it!" is a fake complaint and probably identifies you as an angry mac user. You never move an app after you install it anyway, and don't lie and pretend you do. They sit right in the Applications folder the way they always have. That's not an issue. - Are you really complaining that there's a welcome screen after major OS updates that says "Hi!"? Apple plays a frigging theme video after their major OS updates, and Linux often just indiscriminately breaks or uninstalls half the crap you had installed. - The "List of installed apps" is only confusing if you're a toddler. It's an alphabetized list of your installed apps. If that doesn't make sense to you, then you very well may be beyond help.

Even most linux distros do a better job of keeping track of the mess they makes. - Windows was free for me, five times over, and whether or not something is "cool" is irrelevant to how good it is at its job. Skateboards are cool. They also suck as cross country vehicles.
No, it's not embarrassing. They make a better desktop OS than Apple or any Linux desktop at the moment. I don't even view that as an "opinion." Having spent loads of time in all of them, it's just the current state of affairs.
Maybe if Apple gets their collective heads out of their rears, or if a Linux distro finally decides what it wants to be, that might change.
It can't be understated how good of a job MS has done with Win10 and the company's direction as a whole in the past few years. Placing Nadella at the helm, and getting rid of Balmer has been a real boon to the company. I know this probably makes me sound like a MS shill, but having spent multiple years in the Linux desktop scene, macOS, and windows, the current windows OS is by far the best OS I've ever used.
While the target of 1B devices might be a little bit of a pipe dream, they still have another year to hit their goal, and if they don't, it's not like it's even remotely a failure.
I still can't deny that Ubuntu 17.10 is very tempting though...
I'm curious what companies patch the problem and not state any details about it? I've always seem MS and linux distros provide very concise details about exploits and the fixes for them.
Sounds more like "We're going to wrap some additionally paralyzing processes around our development teams and simultaneously investigate every commit made until we know who to fire."
The bottom line is that you can buy a pretty decent entry-level Blu android phone for about a hundred bucks.
The vast majority of the world has ZERO idea what goes on in tech news. They just walk into best buy, or browse amazon, and see what looks to be a pretty good phone for a relative bargain.
No, I'm a grown adult who has made that decision when I needed to on several occasions. I'm just not entitled and whiny when things don't go my way... Know what happens when companies lose their good employees to greener pastures? The companies either learn from their mistakes, or they go under. A strike is a temper tantrum, nothing more.
Oh waaaa. Heaven forbid they do the job they were being paid to do like the vast majority of the rest of the country. If you don't like your job, quit and find a new one. That's what everyone else in non-union jobs across the country do. Unions are awful.
This side of Valve annoys me to no end. It ends up as a super secretive organization that has one of the slowest development release cycles in the industry. They release a piece of software at about 1 every 5 years at this point.
For instance, their refusal (or inability) to produce HL3 or episodes of HL2 is just flabbergasting. They have literally millions of people clamoring for it, willing to pay just about any reasonable price for it, and they can't get together the internal organization and direction in order to actually produce it. From the outside, as well as from the stories that have leaked out, it appears that Valve is one of the most dysfunctional and disorganized major companies in existence. A "do anything you want, and no one is your boss!" work environment is every bit as productive as it sounds.
I understand that business is about money, but it should also be about continually producing something you can be proud of, or something that makes an impact on people's lives. At the moment it seems like they're just sitting back with a couple absurdly slow dev teams working on CSGO and DOTA2, and raking in the money from Steam.
Sorry, but you can't piss off and alienate a PRODUCT. A product does what you designed and built it do. They built a PaaS. The "customers" are the "owners" in that we are providing the time and effort producing all the content as well as financing the operation by impressing/clicking on ads. (No, we're not the product being sold to the advertisers...becase they're only advertising because it's profitable for them to do it with OUR personal financial investments).
Without the accounts and efforts of the end-users, you have no one financing the operation (because no one is seeing those ads or clicking on them and buying stuff), and none of the content or interaction would take place. Facebook has stayed in business by giving us, the end-users, what we want.
There's a vast canyon between what they "can" do and what they "should" do. I'm not talking about what they can or can't do. I'm talking about what they should or shouldn't do.
I agree with many of the things they're in support of. I also don't think they should be allowed to run facebook, a social network, as if it's a activism network.
Slashdot Mirror
It's pretty silly to say this and then exclude companies like Samsung, Apple, LG, HTC, etc from the same logic.
Xiaomi also makes some very high-end phones that are highly reviewed. Definitely not "cheap crap." Huawei? /shrug

Wow, .759 people! That's pretty cool. What happened to the .241 of them?
RTFA. It's not about killing the missile itself. It's about frying everything at the launchpad(s).

Wherein an anonymous coward has a conversation with himself...
1) Yes, getting a DNR tattoo would be insane if you didn't really mean it.
2) It's not a legal document because there are no signatures, no notarization, and if you start treating one tattoo as a legal document, you have to start treating ALL of them that way. There's nothing to "prove." It simply is not a legally binding agreement/contract.

4) It doesn't matter what the intention/point of the tattoo was from the patient's point of view. It's not a legal document, and that's just a fact.
No, because a legal document that states they're DNR is a binding contract that they made. It's been signed and notarized. A tattoo hasn't.
I think it just comes down to "If you get a joke DNR tattoo, you're a moron."
For all they knew, the tattoo could have been an artifact of previous poor life choices, and nothing more than a joke. A tattoo is not a legal document. Imagine if it HAD been a joke, and the family sued the pants off the hospital for denying treatment to their family member without a formal DNR request?
It sounds like they did pretty much everything right, and ultimately obtained the legal documentation that stated he definitely was a DNR.
Silly goose, that's literally the first sentence of the news post.

And provides a link to a KB article with all the details... Of course they don't give you all the gory details right in the windows update window.
