I don't think anyone would dare call the Lumia 'smart', and it has an OS UI that looks like it was made by a 2 year old - just a bunch of massive coloured square blocks that don't even have icons in them - yet for some reason was named 'Windows' in an ironic twist. It really harks back to an era where Microsoft became so frustrated with Apple's offerings that they decided to completely throw the towel in on any form of 'design' and 'aesthetics'. Their loss.
Sure, but if you want to use it to view actual web sites you'll often find yourself out of luck. Its unfortunate that websites that require Internet Explorer won't work with Edge. Thats a real problem, but then there are many other sites I require daily as part of business that allow any browser, yet still don't work with Edge. Things like iDrac, or managing vSphere environments. Edge is so poor at compatibility and rendering pages, that its simply a liability. I don't have time to enter my details into every web site twice because I stupidly starting filling out the form with Edge before realizing it doesn't render any of the submit buttons!
In short, MS should perhaps spend less time extending the battery life when using Edge and concentrate a little bit more on making their browser work with web pages, which is actually its central function.
Who cares if they are metro or classic windowed applications? The only apps I can ascertain that the Windows 10 store sells are various poker, or video lottery terminal applications.... and a Facebook app for people who haven't yet determined the purpose of a web browser. How many Windows users are gambling addicts, and how many of those people owe it all to Microsoft's online store?
I suspect this is how HP are planning on getting away with shipping i5 and i7 processors in its new form factor PCs. They sound fast, until you realise the i5 and i7 are really M/Ys.
Anyone affected has a pretty good case to have Microsoft reimburse them for any losses - after all, MS has been using these exact same tactics for the past year, so at this stage, users won't hesitate to run anything MS sends them - particularly if it carries the promise of finally fixing some of these game-breaking bugs that have been thrust upon us my our most gracious overlords at Microsoft - also, Windows 10 is SO secure, it would never let the cryptolocker run - and certainly not in the background.
The question actually might be 'is this a soap opera" purely on the grounds that you seem to have confused Sci-Fi's dramas with soap operas. Here is the clue - dramas typically revolve around a self contained episode. So, Big Bang Theory - Drama. Sure, there are some elements that might carry between episodes, like a character might get married etc, but the format of the show is that of a dramatization, not a soap opera. Here is a link to '30 of the best' soap operas - http://www.imdb.com/list/ls000... - as an indication, and what you are likely to find is that most successful soap operas are over 30 years in production at this stage, and are very well known brands, like Love and the Restless, Days of our Lives etc.
That said, you are all wrong, because Halt and Catch Fire is also a dramatization. The story ends every season, in case you hadn't noticed. If you are still confused, here is a wikipedia article with a further break down - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Yeah, to be fair, Slashdot used to cover slightly more in-depth articles than "how to synchronize your puny data between more than one device" - I'm not sure how this article got through the/. firewall unless the admins just dug up a post they forgot to publish during the 90's. Ask us about PB/ZB+ backup and storage and things will start getting interesting. 2TB? They probably sell consumer flash disks with more available space.
The number of times I've seen Windows 10 break on a Windows update on some machine in a new and interesting way is significantly higher that most Windows OS releases I've seen. Its outperforming Windows Millennium in this metric. Sometimes it also manages to break the user's apps at the same time. At issue seems to be MS ramming updates down people's throats. I'd say there is a benefit in waiting for patches to be tested thoroughly, and scheduling less aggressive restart times. MS needs to release control of this aspect as they clearly don't understand change management. I appreciate updates can be deferred, however I find after a while they apply regardless resulting in unexpected restarts on systems that are expected to always be available.
The technological prowess of the ABS is equivalent to that of a small rock or pebble. Australian's can't even request paper forms because EVERY SINGLE NUMBER for the ABS is jammed. Also, they don't provide an online form to request this. My faith is strong that this data will never be hacked.
According to what I have read of the Tesla Autopilot capabilities, first it will try to look for speed signs, and if not it will defer to the GPS database for a speed limit. It makes me wonder why the car was reporting a faster speed than it should have been travelling at, and whether the driver was contributing to the accident by overriding the accelerator. Obviously I have not driven one of these things, but I'm sure someone here could enlighten us.
This is a fairly pathetic response from the Obama administration. Rather that focusing on DNC corruption, the President is working to create better infrastructure to assist them in keeping their corrupt secrets. I don't want to call out the US government as being entirely corrupt, but here we are. Maybe, instead of this, the Obama administration would be better of using the money as a reward, to Guccifer 2.0, for his assistance for doing their job.
Frankly, I find Apple's business to be very disingenuous. Its built on the backs of so many consumers paying a premium for competent software, yet ends up with paid services that routinely attempts to delete their purchases and content or censor what the consumer has access to. Its not just the music, I don't think any of Apple's walled garden offerings are particularly fair. The App store routinely makes decisions on behalf of users as to what content should be available and what should be proactively removed. As a developer, thats just how I, and many people I work with feel. Strongly.
Although, I should thank Trent Reznor of Apple for the wicked template.
..buy an icecream with a credit card? I mean, Wendy's has only two products: soft service ice-cream and hot-dogs, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the planet who buys their hotdogs. Something is very fishy about this story. Also, why are we calling these 'restaurants' now? They are a kiosk at most.
but my employer demanded 4 weeks. I had to leave because I had discovered that they weren't paying my super, or any of the other employees, which was illegal on its own, but they were also engaged in a phoenix scam to avoid liability on back paying the super. So, in the end I lost all of my annual leave, didn't get paid for the last month of employment, even though my employer was the one who had broken contract by not paying super.
This is the tale of another business that caught fire and burnt to the ground the moment I left, though, so I can't be too bitter. The life lesson I've learnt is if you are a bit of a bastard, you can literally double your yearly wage with a tactical-quit operation.
I don't know that I completely agree. I think Software Engineers are forgiven mistakes given the complexity of the environment within which they work, however there is liability in any industry, and depending on the level to which you are producing products (ie. medical, scientific), they are held to a certain level of quality.
The way the industry typically regulates software is by requiring testing. However, testing can't always predict edge cases, for which modern operating systems have a plethora of.
Additionally, the product that the engineer produces can only be as good as the tools on which it is running, and often the fault will either come from hardware or the bugs in the runtime environment.
Besides all of this, typically Computer Systems Engineers who choose to major in software still have to do all the other STEM subjects the rest of the faculty does.
Often, the real problem is that the products are designed by Companies rather than individual Software Engineers. That said, look at the guys that made The Pirate Bay, or Napster. They were clearly held accountable for their software.
Yeah, its not even the otger people. There is something about the cinema screen that is too big. It makes the image really difficult to track with your eyes. Also, so many artefacts are added to fuck up the cam recorders that the quality of the image is rubbish. I constantly ask myself âoedo i watch for free at home, or pay a premium for an inferior product?â
I think its fair to say a good logo doesn't read upside down. This one does - it comes from a company called dy, or dg. Its mysterious as to why all social media is calling this logo 'awesome' when it is '50% functional'
I think your post may have missed the point. Its a bit embarrassing because the guy who created the firewall, was being blocked by the firewall, while attempting to retrieve technical information about firewalls which firstly demonstrates that the firewall is blocking legitimate web content on a country-wide level.
Secondarily, in order to defeat the technological measures that he himself had created in order to protect China's 'innocence', hes fired up an extremely standard tool to bypass the blocking measures, while at the same time demonstrating to others how to bypass the blocking measures, all the while attempting to explain how the blocking measures are a good thing.
Its the technological equivalent demonstrating how to break an 'unbreakable plate' while demonstrating the virtues of said 'unbreakable plate'
Depending on where you work, I'm in an office of techies right now and about half of them have brought their OS X device in with them. Thats a lot of people running desktop BSD. I was under the impression that desktop *nix is here, it just wasn't delivered under a GNU license. If the big difference between OS X and GNU offerings is the Windowing manager, then it seems pretty clear who is letting down 'Linux on the desktop' effort.
I was under the impression that the DMCA rendered circumventing a digital lock to be illegal.... so why is the US government, who created that law, boasting about how they are circumventing the digital locks Apple has created for its devices? Surely evidence is inadmissible if it has been illegally obtained.
All fun and games until my notebook loses power in the middle of the work day because I read some stupid/. post tells me to get my computer off the dock look at its battery's part number.
Game companies always make the claim 'well, it costs more in your country because of regioning' which is a nice way of saying "we will charge you more than 150% the price paid by everyone else in the world to meet your consumer standards", yet Steam charges us a premium AND refuses to comply with out trading laws! So, what exactly is this 'regioning' margin being spent on, exactly, if they aren't 'regioning' their services in this country?
Steam is the only place where I consistenly buy broken products, but that might be because they insist on carrying products produced by Ubisoft.
Because most of the Macs I encounter are over 5 years old. I have a Mac G4 file server... it would be at least 15 years old. The only people I know with iPads are 1st Gen (as nobody seems to want to upgrade) and most people I know don't own an iPhone older than a 4 (which came out over 6 years ago) as they stopped buying them when they realized that phones made of glass on both sides have almost no static friction co-eff so they are designed to slide away and smash themselves. Also, the proprietary attachments are constantly requiring replacements.
Hell, the only people I know that own new iPhones are all terrorists according to the US government.
The other thing is, MS just released a new OS that can be applied to computers over 5 years old, giving them new life.
Should I mention that a brand new Apple computer can't compete with even a PC from a few years ago in terms of graphics rendering and the way Apple are being publicly called out for this?
To be fair, my Mother was recently told to buy a new Apple Macbook for a photography course. Unfortunately, as I pointed out to her after she bought it, its technically not as capable as her PC notebook. The out-of-box set up takes about 4 hours to complete, and thats with Apple support guiding the whole way, and thats because no body who works on OS X has ever run the OOBE to see how broken it is if you don't want cloud integration (because, really, who on the planet would trust Apple's cloud services after their porno leak?)
Is it just me, or do these kind of statements not really make sense coming from Apple?
