The people using these for cheap numerical processing machines are often the sort where they will assign far more than available memory then adjust downwards until something works. They will have noticed.
It has a different meaning after a screening of Batman. Too soon? Oh, did I upset the NRA guys that want military guns without having the balls to do the military service, but still like to pretend they are "militia"?
Any application with a lot of forced SSL is effectively a VPN in terms of what they want to stop, which is hidden traffic in general - so bad news. You want to hide a lot of stuff? They want to stop you. If you are a bank with good party connections (repeating myself a bit) you get an exception. Western governments would like to do this too but unlike the Chinese they have to worry about innocent bystanders getting upset.
Yes, there's other ways, but just hiding among https traffic is only going to work when the people upstream let you have a lot of https traffic.
So there is this trend about wanting to run 'foreign' OSs on computers that come w/ one already
It's typically all about running one or two applications that are not on the main OS or about getting rid of a whole lot of shit to just run one or two applications. If there was more cross platform stuff and less weird UIs like Win8 it wouldn't be so common. I've got a touchscreen tablet running Win7 because Win8 is shit even in that situation if you just have one main application you want to run.
Look up packet inspection. You don't have to look at much of a packet to see if it belongs to one of the common VPN implementations. You may not even have to go that far, a lot of volume on a port that doesn't belong to expected traffic is a bit of a giveaway. Yes you could do something weird and roll your own VPN protocol, based on email traffic or whatever way you hide, but that's a lot harder than just changing ports.
Then think of the mindset of who you are dealing with. It's not so hard to deny everything you don't recognise so long as you don't care about blocking legit traffic by mistake.
Although the name sounds stupid that's par for the course in software - however the other "disadvantage" is it could not be mistaken for meaning complete ownership of the linux project. I've seen more than one journalist write "Richard Stallman, inventor of linux". I'm sure that helped a bit with those awkward "but what have you done since 1990" discussions in MIT staffrooms.
I'm not so sure. Half the planet or more had free Windows XP and MS stayed up. For example, Iraq was under trade sanctions but nearly every PC in the country had Microsoft stuff on it. Complex bulk licence deal
s in countries that take copyright seriously is probably where a lot of their vast cash supply is coming from. I don't see things like this win10 situation changing any of those five year or whatever bulk licence deals.
Maybe you are talking about Zune, whose software runs fine on Windows 10 even though they haven't sold Zunes in years?
They must be keeping it alive until the next leap year to see if it falls over again or not:) Perhaps I shouldn't joke about this because I've never even seen a Zune so it's leap year bug gave me nothing but amusement and a feeling of smug superiority over developers that couldn't even get a fucking clock right.
The original suggestion was LiGnuX - which as a name almost all thought it licked nuts and was worthless. Then the prefix to promote GNU was suggested and the rest is fairly pointless history since it just confused people. Many thought it meant the kernel was a linux project and the rest didn't care about GNU unless they had heard of it already.
Ah the petty bullying of pretending another has poor reading skills or a mental illness merely because you can't put up a convincing argument.
What a piece of work.
Next time you jump into the middle of a discussion I suggest you may want to determine what it is about before shouting ridiculous suggestions to the rooftops.
My refusal to play your game with your shifted goalposts may be annoying to you but it is no failure on my part, even if you try to use a bit of petty bullying to do it. Is your reason to be here to go looking for people with low self esteem to dominate? It's starting to look that way, and I suggest you stop posting such venom before it reveals even more of what sort of pathetic creature you are.
Applying a bit of the specific to the general there but you do have a point. However in general terms he does not appear to give a shit even though the tivo got his attention. I consider it's a bit misleading to say what attitude somebody should have while ignoring what they have stated at length. You may see it as being for a noble purpose but it's still strawman construction.
Sadly it does make enough difference, as seen in floods all over the place without even considering sea level rise. A storm on a large tide is often all it takes. Add a few more inches and the number of incidents goes up by a bit. Also rather sadly, whenever work on prevention infrastructure is considered it's sometimes shouted down by people who say they don't believe in climate change, even when repairs or upgrades are a good idea based on past events. I've got some idiots like that involved in town planning near me that are selling coastal swamps to property developers - forget climate change, all it's going to take is a once per couple of decades storm and it's under the sea for a while.
I mentioned strawmen and you came up with the "but they all thought there was global cooling" bullshit? Can't you recognize crap put in by clueless journalists looking for "balance" so they can "sex up" the issue and pretend there is conflict? You are so full of shit that it's leaking out.
Yep, funny how an exaggerated strawman put together in somebody's name to make fun of them got things wrong. Who would have thought? Meanwhile, back on planet earth, subject matter experts know more about their subjects than sudoko puzzle writers.
So earth sciences are not sciences but economics is? This place can be funny and depressing at the same time - looks like we lost a big chunk of a generation to idiocy but they are so funny.
Extreme weather happens already. It's when the extreme weather is on top of a few more inches of seawater and washes over the top of the dunes that we have to worry.

Clearly they didn't test it enough either.
You stick your name on something and your reputation suffers if it spectacularly fucks up in a very stupid way.
uClinux and descendants for a start.

Which Android?
A Persocom (Chobits) or a Hubot (Real Humans/Äkta människor)?

Unless the day is at the end of a leap year:

That's the sort of software mistake that you get a failing grade for in high school.

Not necessarily. Some distros, especially for lean systems, have nothing from GNU. There is more than one libc and busybox is not a GNU project.
Maybe the summary should have mentioned the electrochemical series or something.

The other poster did the hammer thing, so second choice is it running like a demon (Maxwell's demon).

No. It was just a trap to make the people who voted against it look like complete idiots divorced from reality. Only one fell for it.
