You just try that whole "bottom left corner" thing via RDP pal. Unless you line up the mouse cursor pixel perfect on the edge, nothing activates. Same holds true with an LMI (LogMeIn) and Team Viewer session. Oh, and the excessive GUI animation makes remote access painfully slow. I've had an RDP session time out from a frame buffer overflow because of it (and you thought Flash was bad).
I envision a parody of Donkey Kong where Steve Ballmer is the ape at the top flinging chairs at the OEMs down below all while your average consumer is locked up in a cage beside him.
Oh Jesus! If MS buys Dell, it would be the end of server and enterprise gear quality as we know it. Specifically with regards to their Precision, Optiplex, and PowerEdge lineup. SonicWALL (now owned by Dell) would also get a kick in the teeth. Either the division sold off or its SonicOS replaced with something shitty, like an MS Win8 kernel shoved in the box.
This is going to raise crime. As more people hang out at the ATM (their own bank ATMs tend not to charge a processing fee), statistically the crime rate will go up. The question I have is this; How much?
You know, as much money that China has (building ghost cities, ramping up their Navy, a space program, Shanghainese buying expensive western goods..etc), you would think there would be some serious consideration at pooling more money and resourced together for ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor).
The world has ran out of cheap oil. For the BRIC nations, Fusion and LFTR technology is not a fantasy, it's a requirement if they wish to live the same comfy lifestyle we enjoy today. In fact, ditto for the West now and into the future.
China is divided between rural and urban. There are laws that prohibited working and staying resident in a location other than you're birth place. And even then, it's based off maternal lineage (so I've been told, correct me if I'm wrong). Point is, too many countryside folk want to work in the major cities, but can't. At some point, the locals in the cities will have to start working manual labor of the variety that can't be outsourced. The labor that can be outsourced however will go to the countryside or shipped off to Africa where China is having an ever more increasing influence on.
Texan here. Actually, the rednecks of the 80s have been replaced by the wetbacks of this century. If you plan on working in any field that's manual labor based (welding, automotive, construction, farming, etc...), you better know Spanish. No. Make that a requirement. You *will* learn Spanish. between 50 to 100 of all manual laborers speak Spanish as their primary language. This is not an insult. This...this is the reality we live in.
An apache helicopter taking out a few homes in suburbia is not an overreaction. Obviously. Just a gentile reminder for the rest of you pimply faced nerds that not even your mothers basement can protect you.
Mike Rowe covered this exact phenomenon here in America. Truth is, it's globally universal. Please listen to his speech with regard to work ethic on TED below.
Try a MSP (Managed Service Provider). It's basically a single IT service company that provides local support with anything ranging from printers, workstations, servers, networking, to overall IT consultation. The problem with an MSP is that it's only good as its employees. Many MSP companies rise an fall primarly because of ego. And lord knows that IT is way over inflated with inflated heads so large that it's any wonder the fit into the door in the morning. That shit causes all sorts of problems unless the company has proper leadership and management. Other then that, it's a pretty secure sector of the IT industry to be in under the right social circumstances.
Fred Haas Toyota just north of Houston, TX (I-45) is closed on Saturday but open on Sunday 10am-8pm. If I recall, there is a blue law that states a car dealership can only be open on Saturday or Sunday, but not both. However, I'm not sure about closing the sales deal. I never checked, but it's possible Fred Haas can provide sales service on Sunday, just not close the deal that day (come back Monday to sign paperwork, bla bla bla...). In any event, many of the Blue laws have been repealed in Texas and more are being discussed at getting the axe. In fact, a story just broke a few days ago about one lawmaker wanting to get rid of the ban on selling liquor in Sundays which goes all the way back to the days of Prohibition. There's also been talk of legalizing gambling along the Kemah Boardwalk. But that's been discussed for years now, so who knows... Maybe when the City/State is hurting for revenue. Money talks. Always.
Communism is responsible for the plight of N. Korea. Yet ironically, it's going to take the very nations responsible for this to solve the problem. Specifically China. Let's face it. Even if we had a full deceleration of surrender from the N. Korean regime, the people wouldn't listen to America. Too much bitterness exists from generations of brainwashing. We have nothing in common. China OTOH could act as a mentor in establishing post communist reforms to a more capitalist society. It wouldn't be an ideal "Western" reform, but it would be a vast improvement in terms of the overall human condition in that nation. Think about it for a moment. China would feel secure knowing an American military presence is little to non-existent on the border, they would have a regional trading partner post reforms, and America wouldn't have to spend our hard earned tax dollars floating yet another welfare nation. It's basically a win-win-win for everyone involved.
And how would you do it? They have been sitting there preparing themselves for a "surgical strike" for sixty years. They have the most extensive tunnel and bunker system known to man.
You don't follow a snake in the grass back to its nest. You take out all observable rocket launch pads, factories, landing strips, bunkers, buildings of leadership...etc with nothing but cruise missiles. Lots of them!!! Then, you wait until every man north of the border comes running into the meat grinder of weaponry just waiting for them at the line.
Let them come to you. No need to put boots on the ground. They will either starve to death, go thirsty, or spark an internal civil war from all the mass confusion.
I've got AT&T DSL at my place. Apparently they support IPv6, but my DSL modem needs to be replaced if I want an IPv6 address/block whatnot. Never mind I just payed 70 some bucks for a new one at the start of my subscription (less than 12 months ago), but that I will have to spend another 70 bucks on one that does support IPv6.
At least both my router and computers support it. So I'm 2/3rds there. I figure if they start forcing me to use CGN, then I'll pick up the modem in question. That, or I'll just drop their service for something else that will -hopefully- be available by then.
Actually, that's very interesting. Times time pass slower or faster depending on how fast your brain can process information? Or does it just process information and a higher or lower resolution? In other words, what frame of reference in time does the human brain use? Or is the rate of our life experiences just bound to the laws of chemistry? If that's the case, a computer bound to the speed of light and crystal frequencies may find life to move too slow and thus boring. A second to a computer may feel like years to us.
And places like China, India, and the ME build exclusively with concrete. America and European nations are about the only ones that still use wood frame construction. Which BTW use mostly renewable forests (tree farms) these days. The Chinese countryside still uses bamboo, but their use of it is the rough equivalent version of old American log cabins. Leaky, drafty, and all. Though being bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants out there. I'm sure a process could be refined to use this material in a more professional way backed up with good engineering.
They need the entertainment devision to bind with their Windows 8 platform. It wont be long before the next Apple TV become the next gaming platform tied to your iCloud/iTunes account. It's only an OS or hardware revision away. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc should be pinching a loaf about now.
Well, actually, that was the vision of Bill Gates. But Steve Ballmer is the CEO now. And he's hellbent on pushing Windows 8 even if it drives the company under. Damn the torpedoes, fuck it all, Windows 8 or bust!! Or so that's his vision.
We are trying to "Starve the Beast" (in order to save the Union) you stupid little shit!! While I would prefer to tame it again, some others would just consider it a lost cause and put it down like Old Yeller.
Achieving results in 20 hours vs 40? Doesn't that imply employing developers that know what they are doing in the first place and paying them for that skill set? Like any other profession, you are generally paid based on your level of experience, no?
Just about all residential buildings are poured concrete. This includes the walls which carry the load. Most AC wiring is done externally. Fuck up an internal wiring run, and you might not be able to fish it out. This leaves installing external conduit as your only form of repair. The idea of running glass is a smart move as it doesn't suffer from corrosion, attenuation, and interference like twisted pair or coax would.
That's good at least. Typically JRE is (was) required a fews years back by major corporate banking sites. Typically, it was used for scanning checks and uploading them to the site. For some god forsaken reason, not only must JRE not be updated (as it will break the web app), but sites required an older version of IE.
Now if you ask me, I would tell the bank to eff off. But money talks and I'm not the CFO. In fact, typically MIS dept falls directly under accounting. So that's *never* going to happen. The leaves two other options. Create a stand-alone kiosk specialized for nothing, and (I mean nothing) but check scanning to the website in question, or have the user use a VM assuming the check scanner hardware will pass through and enumerate. The accountants bitch, the CFO listens, and instead they just use an outdated version of JRE on their machine with IE that shouldn't be updated. Deep Freeze utility is required which causes further administrative headaches. Essentially, now each accounting machine must be treated and coddled like fucking file servers with regards to their importance. Seriously, when they can't process data, the world stops for them. You IT job depends on it lest you piss off the CFO.

So you spent 5$ on marketing. Not a bad ROI.

My guess, the "boy" will get snuffed out in a coup d'état. Then, the new leadership will start war to solidify power from with in.
Just a pet theory.
