When 1080p TVs hit the market, I wasn't all that excited. I was already using monitors with better resolution than that.
With 4k, however, I could replace my entire Wall O'Displays with a single 4k TV. I'm actually looking forward to doing exactly that. One 43" screen mounted to the wall would be much nicer and much more aesthetically appealing than what I have now. I would continue to use the older monitors with other machines, I don't expect my Chromebook (hacked though it may be) to drive a 4k display.
Don't uncable the optical drive, get a caddy for $5 on eBay and swap it. You can put a second drive in said caddy, or not. It doesn't matter, it won't be opening either way. If you have an SSD as your boot drive, you could add a large but slow/cheap hard drive to the caddy. It's one of the few real uses for an optical drive bay, IMHO.
What has been seen cannot be unseen. What has been posted, once downloaded by anyone at all, cannot be unposted.
I've taken things down at the request of the party filmed, even though it has always been innocent. (You are NOT going to be passed over for promotion because of a video of you breakdancing while drunk.) In these cases, it was not too late. Hardly anyone "scrapes" YouTube, they just watch and move on. But if your video has already become a meme? You're screwed (no pun intended). All the shouting in the world isn't going to make it go away.
The lady here made several mistakes, all from the same root cause: delusion. She was delusional when she thought it was a good idea in the first place. She was delusional when she thought thousands of people were going to comply with a directive to "forget" and destroy the file, when it had already reached memetic levels. She was delusional when she thought that moving to another city would significantly decrease the chances of someone who had seen the video recognizing her. And she was delusional to think that the people who made her into a meme will give a flying fuck she became an hero. Many of them are edgy enough to even claim it as some sort of victory.
Sure, when it's the new thing, people will be apprehensive and watch the road. Stress levels may actually be higher at this time, similar to being in a car with a young driver at the wheel. But three months in, or less, and I guarantee you that either owners will be confident in the abilities of their self-driving cars, or they'll be demanding changes (or worse). It's one thing when your vigilance actually buys you something – you can warn the inexperienced driver of a hazardous situation. Once people realize their cars are completely oblivious to their white-knuckle attitudes and don't care what they have to say, they'll stop watching the road because it does more harm than good.
You'd think my whole day would be spent chasing after head-scratcher bugs, but no, it actually works quite well. Haswell (and to a slightly lesser extent, Broadwell) Chromebooks are quite amenable to "off-label" use. Even OS X is an option if you choose the right one. (I didn't.)
Wild peacocks roam the streets of Palos Verdes and San Pedro. That doesn't make it a wilderness. The abandoned military housing is probably somewhat closer to a wilderness, in the sense that any animals living there do so more or less free from human interference. The bad news is that we're losing this as hungry and/or greedy humans (it makes no difference as far as the wildlife is concerned) decide they need the space. The good news is that if we leave it alone, nature eventually claws it back. It's just unlikely to happen with the number of people on the planet still increasing.
It's really too bad the questions had to be submitted before the advent of (release) bash on Ubuntu on Windows. Otherwise we could have asked how to get maximum Inception value, as RoR is good for two layers with a single effort.
Ruby on Rails on bash on Ubuntu on Windows on Parallels on OS X?
What do they plan to use as a replacement for essential tools like the one that writes ChromeOS restore images to flash drive? It seems to me they'll be stuck writing separate Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of it if they don't have the unifying base of Chrome. While this would be good for the users in some ways (I didn't enjoy having to install Chrome just to make a restore disk), it sounds like a lot more work for them.
But it was overhauled a decade ago (after 9/11 so it should account for those changes), the vendor is still in business and in reasonably good condition, and new hardware to run the software is still being made. When it comes to legacy systems, this one is practically a luxury item.
No, the problem is finances. The solutions exist, they just don't want to pay for them. How's that race to the bottom doing for you guys now?
It's one thing to run a promotion like this, but to post things for public consumption before they can be vetted is just idiotic. It's almost like they hired Tay to do their PR.
His 15 minutes are up, so he's trying to make a living in his field of expertise: counterintelligence. What's wrong with that, and what in the world do you think he's supposed to do to make money while in exile?
The first thing I did when I got a Chromebook (that I had never asked for) was to install Linux (specifically, GalliumOS). Not surprisingly, Wine runs just fine on top of that, along with the older Windows games that I still play. Minecraft also ran surprisingly well on it, between 20 and 35 fps fullscreen (1366x768), though of course Wine is not required for this. I even used it as my Minecraft server for a while (and might again) because it is silent. I did not attempt to run the server and the client simultaneously. That would be asking a bit much.
Unfortunately, Bay Trail has some serious shortcomings that have made me realize this machine will never be what I actually need out of a daily driver laptop, and the eMMC (and lack of M.2 or SATA) doesn't help. That's why I've posted it for sale, the intent being to buy a C720P with 4GB of RAM and an M.2 slot instead. I already know that can easily be converted into a triple-booting Ubuntu/OS X/Windows machine that performs reasonably well, because I know the guy in charge of the C720P Hackintosh project.:)
If running Wine on a Chromebook is Invisible Pink Unicorn territory, I've got a whole herd of them grazing on carpet in my living room. (What, you didn't know Invisible Pink Unicorns are all rug munchers?)
Let's say you run a business with 100 employees, 33 of whom are female. You express a desire to get that number up. But let's say after a year, you still only have 100 employees. You've made a concerted effort to favor qualified female applicants. In fact, half of your new hires are female. Problem in, you only hired ten people, to replace ten who left. Of those who left, 7 were male and 3 were female. So now your workforce is 35% female and people scream "see, you aren't even trying!"
Unless someone expects Facebook to start firing people to make room for the ones that would look good on paper, this change must happen incrementally at best.
I understand about market share. Say Linux is 10%, OS X is 20%, and Windows is 70%, just for the sake of argument. Right now it seems to pay to develop for the 70%, then maybe port for the 20%. What I'm proposing is that the mechanism works the other way around. Target the 10% knowing that the other 90% will be able to just run it unchanged. It may not have the right "skin" for that platform, but I can't think of many games that do, and the "authorized look and feel" changes from time to time anyhow. This doesn't break older software, it just makes them stand out as being older.
Instead of writing for 70% of the market first, why not write for 100% of the market first?

Actually, I use both Windows 10 and Linux.
On a Chromebook.

The freight bill for plants and animals is a lot higher than for microbes.
Not to mention the damage from acceleration, radiation, and other hazards of the trip.
Pneumatic brakes? Those are for buses and other heavy vehicles. I think you mean hydraulic.
Aren't all bugs more or less "unexpected"? If you expected them, you'd check for them and hopefully squash them before they are committed.
I think the more appropriate word here might have been "blocking". They're severe enough to delay a release over.

That's why the search is being extended to neutrinos and gravitational waves. They weren't scattered by electrons.
That really doesn't sound anything like a dial-up modem, but I think I know what it is.
It's just the newest Aphex Twin release.
Is this just a campaign to make a service that provides true anonymity too expensive to operate? It seems a bit reminiscent of the cock.li drive seizures which themselves seemed designed to disrupt operations as much as possible.
More like rearranging the deck chairs on the Itanic. (HP still hasn't officially given up on it.)
Why was there bacon in the soap?

There is no dark side of the moon, really.
Matter of fact, it's all dark.
They're basically banned in the US. Are they still around outside the USA?
No they're not. They're fairly easy to identify with the area code of 900, but they are far from banned.
