Anything over 200ms still sucks balls for VOIP and RDP / Citrix based usage. Basically, anything that requires real-time interaction over the web is going to be aggravating when going through space and back down again; speed of light limitation and all that.
As the saying goes - a candle that burns twice as bright burns for half as long.
If it's a white star, it's only because it's mass is so dense that it's able to burn through its fuel (hydrogen, helium, other elements) at a much MUCH faster rate. As such, the more it converts mass into energy, the less dense it becomes. That whole E=MC2 thing.
Like rats jumping off a sinking ship, the ones that stay will also step on and shove others into the ocean in hopes for a dry platform. All this outsourcing spans the entire economy of STEM jobs and not just IT. If they're truly trying to compete with a global economy, then they've already failed; and failed to acknowledge that fact too.
You DO realize why Western Nations are being invaded with local governmental endorsement, right? Right?!! Yeah, that's what happens when the local birth rate of the native population drops to zero. If you're not replenishing the ranks from within due to an aging population, than the ranks will be filled from external sources. Please see America, and the EU. And Russia is facing a huge problem with population decline.
So saved trillions of dollars? By what metric?? It's hard to say that when baby-factory 3rd world nations fill the vacuum left by Western Nations adopting the contraceptive pill.
Yeah, I have to agree with this. With the arrival of billions of IoT (Internet of Things) devices all broadcast and receiving WiFi, all it takes is one bad device to cause havoc for the greater area within its broadcast range.
There's no reason not to both audit code and enforce via physical triangulation/confiscation of malicious equipment.
It's beta. MS won't call it that, but honestly and truly, it effectively is perpetual beta. Windows 10 will no longer update with Service Packs, rather just release updated builds; which is why the "reset" exists to preserve your copy of Windows 10 on the storage media that it's installed on and thus the user license. Effectively treating it like a mobile device via the internal OS reset option. But based on what you've said, even that option is fucked! Honestly, I'm not going to use or recommend Windows 10 for at least a year from now. I'll wait until Oct 2016 before I give it a second look.
Regardless, the idea is silly to begin with. Regardless of what room, or how much space you can devote, inevitably there will be obstructions in the way; specifically furniture. And while I'm sure many will do the best they can to clear room, encroachment into something is bound to happen. Nothing like stubbing your toe on a chair leg to end the night.
So far, the best solution seems to be the Virtuix Omni, or a similar product like it.
According to this teardown of the Apple AirPort Extreme A1521, it does in fact have a Broadcom BCM4360 chip rated for 1.3Gbps. So the parent's original question is a good one. Why wasn't this included in the test??
Land. That is the limiting factor there. There will always be a demand for Sq Ft-age based on family size and location; especially for Urbanites. There's no getting around that unless you can built vertically on the cheap, move people into space, or cull the human population.
If going by the axiom of "What cannot go on forever, won't", than by that token, the Malthusianists win the argument.
After a certain point, doesn't it take longer to charge from say 90% to 100% vs the 70% to 90%?. Perhaps these charging stations should only allow for 80% to 85% capacity before allowing another driver to use the plug. Or better yet, the driver has their home address coded in that will pre-calculate the amount needed to get home. So for example, if you only need 20% to get home, it will only charge up to 30% as a precaution before the plug is free for another driver. The owner can then charge the rest when he/she gets home.
Yes, at some point Super AI will supplant humanity's limitation and perform all discovery and innovation far beyond the reaches of our own capability. I would imagine a conversation between man and machine would go something like this..
Man: "Machine, can you innovate and modify our DNA to improve our species? We want to live longer, be stronger, and think smarter." Machine: "Human, your request is limited by your physiology governed by the laws of physics. Shed your flesh and embrace the vessel of new construction based on electrons and photons."
I'm not worried. New equipment will be stamped out and installed into existing towers. Nothing new here as that's how it always happens. If the laws of physics become an impediment, so be it; the limitation will set expectation and thus the industry will adapt. Meaning, don't expect 8k or 16k video formats streaming over cellular service anytime soon.
The new hotness will be voice over WiFi anyways. Xfinity (Comcast) already has a large WiFi router install base already, each one broadcast the same public SSID. The idea is that you can roam between areas with Xfinity and route all traffic through their network and not my cellular provider. In fact, I do that already with my familiar places I often visit. No need for a 6GB monthly plan. And unless you're a road-warrior, there's no need for you to have one either.
A vehicle won't be 100% autonomous, and least not for the foreseeable future. Meaning, there's still a steering wheel and peddles for human interaction. So until those are removed, expect to still pay insurance for the vehicle. Even still, you have other natural disasters that can total a vehicle while parked, hail, floords, landslides, theft...etc.
Most like these newer vehicles that employ autonomous driving will allow for auto insurance at a reduced rate for the owner. In fact, in the insurance business there's all sorts of factors that go into your rate such as the type of car, age of driver, location, and safety features based on make/model.
I suspect that what the parent stated would be the most likely path taken; two systems partitioned off the OSI layer stack. As such, we're taking about government mandates. Don't discount legislation forcing a two function/chip solution in the box. The question is how will existing hardware be grandfathered into the new rules. Meaning, can end-users resell back on the market again? Or would device ownership of these older units remained locked or disposed of at the end of life?
So the surface of Venus is over 460c. I would think, but do not know, that all that solar energy got absorbed into the crust combined with the exothermic reaction in it's core might be enough for rapid crust recycling? Or to ask the question: Just where does the majority of the energy come from that melts all that rock; the core or sun?
This! Although aside from RAM and Storage upgrades, components do wear out; specifically the PSU and electrolytic capacitors. And of course, Windows XP has been deprecated and eventually Windows 7 too (but not for quite awhile now). So at some point, the computer is going to be replaced even if the owner is pleased with the existing performance.
Is there a browser that isn't total shit? Seriously, they're all fucking shit, on any OS! I'm getting tired of telling people of the following "Crashed in Chrome? Try Firefox, or IE" or "Something else just crashed in Firefox, go back to Chrome" and lastly, "That's a compatibility issue within the site, just keep both browsers open for those two different websites".
With regards to the corporate world: The trend for the last year is to purchase all new PCs with 8GB or RAM. Honestly 4GB is the bare minimum once you factor in Windows, Anti-Virus, running browser, and an open MS Office document. And being that you don't just find machines with 6GB, the next best option is to double for 8GB.
OTOH, if someone wants to upgrade their existing machine, I recommend going to 16GB. My time to scope part, install, and validate + the cost you pay for the part = not worth going to 8GB of you plan on keeping the computer around for its remaining lifespan. Don't get me wrong here, I'll sell and install the 8GB kit for you if that's what you really want. In fact, it might be all that's needed if you have free slots available vs pulling all existing modules and swapping with new.
For Adobe junkies, CAD-o-holics, and Devs, You get 32GB. Anything beyond that and you're looking at Xeon based architecture; which BTW is a whole other ball game as ECC memory isn't cheap in comparison.
Google is an analytics "Big Data" company first and foremost. I'm surprised that's all they wanted from the OBD2 port. Perhaps that is all that's technically possible to get out of it!

Kill the little shit. It's fucking war. Treat it as such.

Yeah, no, fuck that. Just uninstall Flash to begin with if you have it on your system; and don't ever EVER install it again. Be done with it already!
Except for dogs. Dog killings are bonus points to brag about apparently!

Latest version of Chrome is total shit on Linux.

Well yeah, RAM prices have always followed the bathtub curve.
