There are far more issues than just data transferability with the Microsoft ecosystem. Consider the increasingly crappy user experience that is Windows, combined with the chances that Microsoft are almost certainly violating your privacy in every way they can think of.
Windows 10 cloud will badly suck ass. Abusing users by further locking them into their shitty, useless, underpowered, user-unfriendly ecosystem will make Windows 10 cloud as successful/popular a product as Windows phone was, but you can bet it still won't stop Microsoft from trying to force it down everyones throats.
Its truly amazing how Microsoft can keep crippling/removing more and more functionality in ever more blatant drive to lock customers in tighter and tighter, yet most people just keep buying Windows anyway. I will be VERY surprised if Microsoft forcing this dick move on people isn't the straw that breaks the camels back. Of course Microsoft will just blame/interpret poor sales on the general decline of the PC rather than their supremely shitty OS.
No. Your salary history is private to yourself and should have no bearing on whether the interviewing company is prepared to pay you what you are asking for or not. It should be your skillas and their need that are the only determining factors.
How could this patent hold any value at all? It's VERY general, there is apparently absolutely nothing unique or innovative about it, and it is so basic that there is already prior art going back centuries. Challenging it would seem trivial.

Rather than have to manually turn it on/off, it seems like the much better approach would be to use a light sensor, or at least link it to the clock so it knows when its day/night. I agree that it should be manually overrideable though.
You first said he openly declared it. Now you're saying I have to guess from his appointees. You've clearly shown you are completely like most other dems in that you're just making up contentious shit on the spot then selling it as something he already said. Then irony of ironies, you accuse him of fact-free politics. Pot meet kettle.
>> I would trust that Hillary would not have sent people into the NOAA, NASA, to either 'adjust data' to suit the alt-right world view
I'll give you that she probably wouldn't but only up until the point that some "inconvenient truth" they said ever got in her way.

1) How can we KNOW that DuckDuckGo really doesn't track/collect/sell our data? Many other supposedly responsible companies have made the same claim but it pretty much always turns out to be a lie.
2) Assuming they're not tracking us, How do DuckDuckGo make money or at least pay to keep their service running? They don't even show ads.
This. Totally. Its not like the backwards compatibility that MS waste massive amounts of resources on maintaining actually works well in real life anyway.
Just want to add a note here that my parent comment keeps getting modded down as -1 troll, even though its currently at +5). I've also noticed that anything anyone writes that even slightly criticizes Windows, no matter how logical or well-reasoned, also suffers the same.
I can only conclude that a) there's a whole bunch of rabidly hardcore Windows fanbois on here that dont understand what "troll" actually is, and are incorrectly modding on emotion rather than content, and/or b) Microsoft are performing social engineering by actually paying people to mod down any/all posts that have even slight criticism of their products.
He's still got $MegaBillions of Microsoft stock (which I'm sure he doens';t wanna see get devauled) but you're right he probably is little more than just the biggest shareholder now. Apparently he still is, even though he's been offloading MS stock for years. He's just doing it slow enough to not damage the market value for it. I guess he knows something we don't.

Don't you game developers realise that YOU'RE the ones making a rod for your own back here?
Seriously the way most of you continue to not also make Linux versions of your product leaves me with little sympathy for when y'all whine about windows.
If not for my gaming addiction, I wouldn't even have a Windows partition. I already do everything else under Linux. I've been hoping for for decades (literally) for game developers to finally get a clue so I can totally delete windows off my PC but noooooo....

We can only hope. The moment that AAA games developers finally end their windows exclusivity and take Linux seriously I'll be formatting my Windows partition, since I only use it for gaming and already do everything else under Linux. Been saying that for decades now though.

I'm talking about stuff like this:

Obviously the product produces actual results that are not even close to the hype. Just like pretty much every other Microsoft product then.
He should only just dig enough to make it look convincing then seal the open end after they've started down it.

Would you have honestly trusted data coming from Hillary's office had she become president?
Well said. My mum used to keep geese. They're definately psycho.
If you're writing in C++, why would you need node.jss?
