One reason is because one has to interact with authorities in their countries. They still want us to either use (snail)mail or fax (or both).
For example we mostly email invoices to our customers but we also have to keep hard copies. So we print 3 copies. One goes to customers (eventually) via snail mail. The other goes to our accountant. The 3rd we keep in a folder for when/if the fiscal authority decides to drop in.
Lexmark lasers are nice. Especially since they support at least PCL but usually both Postscript and PCL so, for example on Linux and various Unix OSes they just work with generic PCL/PS drivers.
Inktank printers are available from Canon and Brother as well. IMO they're designed better with no ink tanks hanging to the side. The Brother inktanks have their filling holes at 45 degree angle so ink does not spill when (re)filling
Oh, and HP made a kludgy inktank printer too. The HP DeskJet GT 5820. The only good thing I have to say about it is that the filling system and bottle caps prevent ink from spilling.
"But, for the less digitally inclined, plastic cards and those tiny metal chips will probably still be pretty cumbersome for the foreseeable future."
My mom has 70+ years and can shop the any local store with her card just fine. We use chip & pin over here. She can remember her card pin just fine. She's also not digitally or technically inclined. The whole thing takes a few seconds until the transaction is authorized by the bank.
What exactly is your excuse there, over the pond?
Banks have been issuing new cards (or replacing older ones) with NFC versions for at least a year. Just bonk and pay.
Yes. In some countries, people that claim a X sum as damages have to pay a certain percentage of X as tax before the trial even starts. If they win, they get their claimed damages + court costs (which can and should include whatever they paid as tax) from the losing party.
They pulled the ISOs. Last time I checked, Windows Update will still download and attempt to install it.
On my system it just refuses to install... so I guess I'm safe, for now.
It was the work of rogue engineers practising the black art of software programming. It' wasn't us! Honest! It was them witches! Burn them at the stake!!!
"Still dodging."
And you're still not getting it.
Me anticipating your ridiculous conclusion does not mean I did not answer. You might not be satisfied with my answer, but that is of little consequence to me. Tell your PR dpt. to prepare a better script next time which anticipates "rebels" and out of script answers to the questions.
As for my "partisanship", dude, I'm not even native to that part of the world nor do I live there. Thank God! I would be driven out of my mind by your ridiculous nanny state.
Nah, you're just angry that I don't want to play ball. You had such a nice line of questioning prepared and I simply don't care.
Like they say, no battle plan survives the first contact with the "enemy":)
Is that the official position of the party or of individual members? What the "anonymous reader" forgets to point out is that the letter signed by members of the labour party was also signed by conservative party members as well as liberal democrats and a bunch of others.
As for Heidi Alexander, here's a quote from the linked buzfeed article
“I must admit I’m not totally convinced at the moment but I’ll have to look at it. I know my own parents are great believers in homeopathy. It’s not something that I would immediately support but I’m going to have to look at a whole range of issues. It’s not something that I have given hours of consideration to.”
Oh yeah, definitely a *huge* backer.
How nice of slashdot to become a place for anonymous political shills. In this case I guess it's a Tory sympathizer.
Docker is moslty a set of tools to allow simple management of containers. It's not itself a container technology. On Linux, Docker leverages LXC and a bunch of other things. On Windows, the same functionality will be available but using Microsoft's container technology. MS and Docker are actually working on getting the Docker toolset on Windows
The point of a self-driving car is that you don't drive it. It drives you (there's a soviet Russia joke in there, somewhere) Do you need a license to get into a taxi?
If they're CLI, yeah, you'll be able to. You could already do that using mono. The problem is GUI applications that use WinForms which is not open-source and probably won't be for a looong time.
MS likes Linux as a server, on Azure.
The thing is that the MAFIAA does not care. Are these decisions hurting NETFLIX? Good. The MAFIAA hates the internet and streaming services. I saw an article not too long ago in which they were evaluating the impact of Google Fiber speeds on piracy and they were scared shitless. Any sane people would recognize that as a new market to fill. For fucks sake, they now have proper bandwidth lets give them content and make money, but not the MAFIAA, nope.
They are greedy and stupid, really stupid. Just read the other day how "The Interview" made $ 15M from online sales/rentals vs. $ 3M from theatre screenings. Of course they could've made even more but the release was US only, so people took to known torrent sites and downloaded it gratis and DRM-free from there.
I don't think these ass-hats will ever learn and they will do everything in their power to stifle progress and technology. They did it before and will continue to do it instead of working with tech companies.
The law in question has not yet been passed by the president and has already been contested at the Constitutional Court. There it will most likely be declared unconstitutional thus illegal and void.
- Oh noes, we can't spy on people so now we don't have enough to blackmail politicians, companies and business owners to do our bidding. Quickly, prep a press release about crime-lords and terrorists!
- Should we add a "think of the children" type paragraph in it sir?
- Neah, not this time.
How exactly is that game free? They paid for a season pass. This a a crap publisher trying to hold on to money that does not belong to them while trying to spin it as a win for the suckers that got uh... suckered.

You've seen one too many police flicks.
Opinions of leaders are not always the opinions expressed by the parties themselves.
So are 204 others including Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Your point?
So? Did you even bother to look at the 206 signatures? Labour Party, Conservative, Lib. Dems and some other parties.
Is that the official position of the party or of individual members? What the "anonymous reader" forgets to point out is that the letter signed by members of the labour party was also signed by conservative party members as well as liberal democrats and a bunch of others.

Of course it's known. The same way they established that Iraq had chemical weapons. The method is known as "because we say so".
