a different version of the class-action settlement was rejected by Koh, who wanted to see more benefit to consumers and a specific settlement amount.
So 500 million accounts compromised. -33.3% for lawyer fees, = ~$78.67M left for payout. That leaves us with $0.16 per account compromised. How it that at all a benefit to anyone but the lawyers
People tend to use Windows because they like it. Being preinstalled is a bonus. Linux users use Linux because they want to like it. Coming preisntalled is a problem because it probably isn't using what Graphic driver/kernel configs/Window Manager/Init system/userland that someone who wants Linux wants.
It does not matter to me. I have yet to meet someone who insists on the soft G, and is not a pretentious wanker. I have never met someone who insists on the hard G
Out in real life, from grade school through college, across an entire career in IT/Software development, I never met a single person use anything but a hard G. So that's how I always pronounced it.
The pronunciation argument to me is relatively, fairly recent to that timespan. It is almost like a few people started using a soft G to be *ironic*, then people just dug their hooks into it because they wanted to be part of the one-weird-trick in-the-know group, akin to anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers.
LEOs can't pull over everyone with a cellphone in their hands
No, they can't, however, if they dedicated just one officer to drive around in an unmarked car and starts nailing people, the area will get the reputation of having such and offenders will either avoid driving in that area or not use their phone when in that area. Just like aggressive speeding enforcement. When offenses drop below a certain point, you can lighten up. If they don't, then you have a good source of revenue to pay for that officer citing these people
Holy christ. How can you and the person you are replying to be so wrong and so confident at the same time?
The original Voodoo/Voodoo2 cards were an add-on with a VGA passthrough cable, but that was at the birth of 3d acceleration. Voodoo Rush cards existed just fine along side these as an all-in-one video card. Once we got to the Voodoo Banshee, the add-on card platform was retired. And Nvidia and ATI were just getting started, albeit with garbage hardware initially. The Voodoo 3 was an amazing card and one that people *wanted*.
3DFX's failure had nothing to do with their hardware offerings. They were top of the line and no one had a bad thing to say while they were still being sold. As we reached the Voodoo 4 era, 3DFX decided though instead of letting other people make cards with their chips, they would make and market their own cards exclusively. That is what killed them. The Voodoo 5 was highly sought after years after they stopped being produced
Windows security wasn't designed for Citrix in mind
Not arguing the usefulness or effectiveness of Citrix software, but Citrix is responsible for Windows Terminal Services and has been since NT4. They wrote it. It is very much part of Windows and pretty much always has been
The UI isn't exactly what makes Windows heavyweight. The numerous API platforms and their supporting services are. Likely, just like Windows CE/Mobile wasn't quite Windows, this won't be either. If I had to wager a guess, it would be almost entirely a.NET system
Dumbest shit I have heard all day. Firebird is a relic with no direction and no discernible advantage over *ANY* other RDBMS. Its SMP support is still "being worked on". It doesn't even have a reasonable mechanism for multiple processes to communicate with one another. Spin locks were how concurrency was done for the longest time.
Like I said, the only people still using it are legacy folks or the suckers still paying Embarcadero for their crummy "platform".
Firebird (aka Interbase) has always outperformed and out-featured the others especially with very large data sets. To this day it beats everything else yet it languishes in obscurity.
That is a flat out lie. There is a reason the only people using that garbage are the same folks still using Delphi
This comment and clearly half of them in this thread are some sort of crazy propaganda campaign. The density of antivax proponents is too sharp a contrast from the norm of this site
I know people on welfare that get small checks like this each month
No you don't. Welfare hasn't given "checks" in a LOOOOONG time. Hell, about the only way you are getting any welfare *money* is TANF. It is very temporary, you have to be practically homeless, and it isn't enough to cover even a fraction of basic necessities
Go right ahead. You obviously don't understand the sheer mathematical improbability of it, but have a go. Hell, why stop there? Start guessing private keys for bitcoin addresses...

Haiku is a functional turd just like ReactOS. You might get it to boot, but it isn't going to be useful for anything worthwhile
Myself, I never write texts or respond to emails while driving, I only read them
You are part of the problem
At lease the drunk drivers are doing their best to look at where they are going

These things might actually start closing the gap with GPUs and then have all the great general purpose advantage of CPUs.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
Yeah. Intel already attempted that and it was an abysmal failure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee_(microarchitecture)

They only need signed with default boot options. You can load Windows with Signed driver enforcement disabled

Bitcoin isn't exactly hard to understand
Because Visual Studios abilities are valuable outside of self-hosting
The only reason to run Windows is to use the Office Suite for compatibility
You ignore Visual Studio. This is one of the major reasons *WHY* Windows has been so popular. A fantastic development environment
