Considering the licence costs and overhead that will slow down already slow hardware I really do not see the point other than to get students hooked on MS. WinCE was pretty lean but this is not so.
Part of the scandal was that if "the SCO lawyers" the one that billed for most of the cash was Darl McBride's brother. It was a two man scam. Deliberately drive a company into a solid wall and take it to the second man for repair bills.
Yes, the ones where the gnome3 shit that we complained was ruining network performance are used as an example of how X has poor network performance:( Actually it's ruining performance in general which may be why people started looking for a way to speed things up. A modern desktop on an eight core 4GHz machine should not be slower than a better looking just as functional desktop (E 0.16) on a Pentium 60 (60MHz single core).
Yes, right from the start. The new version of gnome breaks it by relying on local 3D hardware and being insanely slow elsewhere but everything else runs fine over a network.
CE doesn't have practical multitasking (there is a hack used for demos but production software is all one application at a time) so was out of date on first release. However some products worked OK with it - I've got an old thin client running X windows on WinCE that performs OK. A mutli-lingual ebook reader I have with the same OS is multi-tasking limited by not being able to switch to a translation dictionary it has and not being able to play audio files of someone reading a page at the same time as displaying the page.
Someone I met used to run a seafood export business out of North Korea but had to flee for her life to China sometime around 1960. The place went from being a major exporter of food to starvation even with foreign food aid.
Will threaten for food. I don't think there is an endgame, just the status quo with a small number of ultra-rich aristocrats very happy with the situation and a very large number of starving peasants unable to change it.
Nice conspiracy theory and it makes more sense than reality but would combust in contact with Trump's ego. The reality is that the circus went beyond the far side of crazy and all three left standing are trying to outdo each other which has made it even crazier.
Well yes, but see the nuclear lobby's reaction to thorium experiments in the Clinton era for why we can't have nice things. Those old plants keep the money rolling in while change may mean somebody else gets the money.
You can store a NEW fuel rod for years. Once it goes in a reactor close to other rods then other elements form which kick off a lot of extra activity and the clock starts ticking.
Here's a reminder that he's a part of it not an "outsider" - warning, annoying ads.
http://www.tvguide.com/news/donald-trump-presidential-campaign-timeline/ Of course he's done a lot more with various deals with figures in local politics as part of his property empire and to do various deals to get away with going bankrupt four times.
He's like something out of third world politics and the others don't look much better this time.
Totalitarian control is the lazy (and brutal) way out for any form of government and it's best to remember that historically monarchies have done it as well as communists. The main point of 1984 was that something akin to what Stalin was doing could happen closer to home.
modern nuc power stations, as in small, least stressed designs in many locations
That was the idea after TMI but there has been so little work done that we've seen nothing along those lines other than pebble bed. Lots of little reactors can still produce vast amounts of steam for a turbine. You don't need to have one enormous reactor per turbine unit as in the 1970s designs. Isn't it a bit of a slap in the face that South Africa has more advanced civilian nuclear reactor technology than the USA? The nuclear lobby just sat on their 1970s dinosaurs and have paid far more for PR than R&D. They even opposed government funded thorium research because they had sunk their money into uranium and saw potential new designs as a threat.
Remember what happened with the removed fuel rods in pools at Fukishima when the water dried up? It's not just one element in those things after a bit of use so there is a lot of decay producing heat and the fuel becomes a lot less active and a lot less useful as a fuel over time. Remember it's not about going down to zero radioactivity as your "human lifetime" comment implies, but about going below the design threshold and the point where it is worth refuelling.
France has a lot of hydro they use to fill in the gaps and do not load follow with their nuclear reactors. If it's not running it's either a planned shutdown (days or weeks) or broken.
Shutting down to refuel costs a lot - thus nowhere near "practically free" so while it's hot you want to get as much of that heat to do something as you can. Thus base load and full output.
That and things like the Tesla battery plant are a good sign of things swinging back. Your local city may not be doomed to end up like Detroit after all.
The politically right haven't changed this even though they could.
The last guy on the right who wanted to make racist speech completely free got a call from an Israeli lobby group and reminded him of the free holiday they sent him on. That's not being critical of the lobby group or implying that they didn't send people from across the political spectrum on study tours (annoying how I have to put disclaimers on EVERYTHING on this site now) - just pointing out that the guy pushing for change didn't think about who he would be pissing off. Despite Australia having a very small Jewish population (due to a thing called the "White Australia Policy" decades back) there is a bit of anti-semitism in odd groups here and there. The lobby group wanted to retain some way to deal with the anti-semitism.
I should have said that from my limited experience and from what others have said at least some of the displayport problems are in software. Another is how some monitors work badly directly plugged into a machine but work perfectly if a Matrox two screen displayport splitter box is plugged into the same screen. It's looking a lot like problems in software, probably a step above the manufacturers drivers (because on linux the module supplied by nvidia does all of the work and communicates directly with X - nvidia got it right there so maybe it's somebody else's problem on MS).

What does that mean? It looks like another way to write sodomised but the context is all wrong unless you are describing what MS did to Nokia.

It's like a trip back to 1985.

Also any problems with South Korea existing are also solved :(
That's war kids.

I suggest you look at stevelinton's post since he puts the situation quite clearly.
Well yes, but see the nuclear lobby's reaction to thorium experiments in the Clinton era for why we can't have nice things. Those old plants keep the money rolling in while change may mean somebody else gets the money.

He's like something out of third world politics and the others don't look much better this time.
Yet he was born to it and has been a political animal his entire life using party connections to prop up his business gambles.

Look at a weather map, the wind is always blowing somewhere.
You really should have applied some thought before the "dumb idiots", it has backfired.
