You worked 12+ hour days for 25 years? Did you at least get paid overtime? If not we have a name for people like you: "sucker". I genuinely hope you were appropriately compensated for that kind of work and dedication.
For what you're storing, SSD is probably unnecessary. God forbid we have options depending on workload. Just like you wouldn't use SSDs to store your WaReZ I wouldn't use 4TB spinning disks for my bootup and application drive.
Not sure if you read about the new design, but the shape is very functional. You might want to read up on the concept of the thermal core and the fan on top. The RAM is also much easier to replace than your typical desktop PC. You just slide off the outer cover and it's right there. I really think you don't know what you're talking about, I assume because you haven't read anything about the actual design of the Mac Pro. You just saw a picture and made a bunch of assumptions.
The Mac Pro is a workstation that is regularly used to work on very large video files. You will most definitely notice a huge performance difference between a SATA II and SATA III SSD. It's twice the throughput (~275MB/s to over 550MB/s). And then double again going to PCIe SSD.
How does this stop me from stealing a phone, plugging it into my computer and clicking "Wipe this Device" ? As long as their is a user accessible "recovery" feature (ie event of a password loss) I don't see what this prevents? We need IMEI blacklisting from ALL CARRIERS. It's simple, what's the problem? The only thing I can think of is that stolen phones means more sales from handset manufacturers so they just don't really care about theft, if anything it's DRIVING SALES!
Neither would a website without your copyright notice in the header to begin with, right? So how would you ever try to claim you built any website if that's not good enough?
No doubt. It's a serious issue. However, can you imagine hell that everyone would raise if Microsoft wanted to offer such a service? They catch flak for almost everything they do.
You're assuming Microsoft would host all the software. They could just write a package manager that resolved dependencies with some package metadata and the client would just connect to the URLs specified by the individual packages during installation for update. Repos could host a single package, or people could setup big repos of lots of pieces of software, etc.
For what? What's the application? Way too expensive to run to my IP Phone or Desktop PC (could juse use fiber or copper, why both?). Unnecessary in the datacenter (we don't need PoE). What's the use case?
Still need support staff. People still need help with devices, need the network functioning so they can get to their "cloud apps". People need their IP Telephone configured or fixed. The problem is IT will still be 20 or 30 different integrated services and products and you need someone to integrate and provide front end support. Or do you just tell your employee, here's a list of 30 vendors, just use this handy dandy reference chart to know who to call.
I consider PaaS more of a foothold to deploy an application until you can scale large enough to deploy your own infrastructure. It removes the barrier to entry for a lot of people and let's you just start building your application. If it's successful, no problem, deploy your own hardware and your own stack and migrate off. I don't see the problem.

Have them lookup the site and view the original JS file's source.

We're years (probably a decade+) away from any significant demand (read: more than low single digit percentage) for 10Gb for personal use.
That logic doesn't really hold. We moved from 100Mb Fast-E to 1GbE and residential broadband speeds had nothing to do with it.

its just utter vapor ware.

I'm sure keyless start will cause carjacking rates to sky rocket.
Wait, no it won't.
Imagine you had a couple hundred thousand square foot in a large datacenter. Now imagine how many probes you need.
Quite a few providers are actually delivering T1 loops via [H|S]DSL.
So if the whole worlds fucked we're all in ok then? If everyones crazy then aren't we all normal?
I would have killed for this in high school. Kudos to you, what a great job.
And if every country is printing money out of thin air then where does that leave everyone?

Got some numbers to back up that claim?
Who? China ($2TT)? Japan ($13TT)? Germany ($3TT)?
