If you had bothered to read the rest of that statement right here in the summary on slashdot, you'd realize that the "second column of text" is the second chapter. This isn't a case of adding/removing/doctoring text, it is a case of initially they had a single column (chapter) of text visible and through more work managed to reveal the second column (chapter) of text.
The SSD may not be "a single drive" - Check out the OCZ RevoDrive 3 series. This is an early PCIe SSD. It essentially works by presenting itself as a software RAID solution with 4 separate "SATA" drives, all on the same board. These 4 "drives" are then combined into a single "RAID 0", but again, all on the same board. They did this to break the 6gbps barrier that SATA has, but it requires special drivers to access the card because of it.
BestBuy just changes their phrasing around. I purchased a laptop from them, not by choice. I was in the middle of a trip and my work laptop died that I used to remote in to work. I needed something ASAP and they were the only option in the area. A week later, the power supply on the new laptop died. They absolutely refused to honor the warranty on the device UNLESS I payed a mandatory "Geek Squad" repair fee of $40+
I pretty much told them to fuck off, purchased a replacement power supply on eBay for $15, and am still using said laptop and power supply 4 years later.
I much prefer the eBay / local company route (like Re:PC). Instead of just scrapping old hardware, it is serviced into other older machines to keep them running.
an example I bring up all the time is the HP 2100 LaserJet printers from the late '90s. These things still work GREAT. They have 3 DIMM slots though, so I've salvaged extra RAM for them from eBay over the years. Who the hell else wants old 16MiB DIMMs anyways? So someone puts them up on eBay, and I buy them. They get a little extra side cash, and the printers I service get a little extra push in performance for larger modern documents. \
a kid wants to get into tech and start learning computer? sure, I'll just hit up the eBay or Re:PC again and get an old HP Core 2 Duo workstation for about $100. now they can have something to learn to install windows/linux on over and over again.
While everyone here is bitching and whining about the lesser of two evils between the changes being done to Chrome and Firefox, as well as debating the stability of both, I'll just continue to sit over here comfortably with Opera for the time being. And if I feel like getting adventurous, there is still Vivaldi too.
I see what you're trying to say, being funny n all, but the summary even already covered this by mentioning the new employees that needed hired to process the applicants that applied by paper instead.
Oracle writes software that doesn't work Oregon sues Oracle over non-working software Lawsuit is settled by Oracle giving Oregon more software for free... BUT THE WHOLE POINT IS ORACLE'S SOFTWARE DIDN'T FUCKING WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE
Why the hell would Oregon settle for MORE of the same bullshit that started the lawsuit in the first place!?
Actually YES. It is called "Market Competition", ya'know, that thing we bitch about lacking in the ISP industry? With there being Webkit, Blink, Gecko, and Trident all competing for top dog right now, us, the users all win. Each of the engines are trying to be the fastest, most accurate and complete HTML5/CSS3 representation, and now the longest battery life for mobile devices. So while *YOU* may not use Edge/Trident, Microsoft is still forcing Google, Opera and others to up their game in specific benchmarks that do matter to quite a few users. So yes, in the end we all win, and should care about the competition between these products.
This is highly untrue, actually. Larger web sites don't run on a single IP address, they run on a collection of IP addresses using various redundant networks (such as IP load balancing by issuing different addresses from DNS requests). This also allows for easier system maintenance while maintaining 100% uptime. Need a server to go down for a while in the pool? Just remove that server's IP address from the DNS load balancing pool, wait some time for client DNS caching to expire, then take down that particular machine. Effectively, the web site has "a new IP address" for a subset of clients now.
Have you ever wondered how Google Maps has near-real-time display of traffic maps on surface streets that don't have monitoring equipment set up by the DOT? *THIS* is exactly how they do it. They track the relative speed and location of smart phones traveling down various streets to figure out current traffic patterns. This is simply another case of giving up a piece of privacy for a free service in return. Love it or hate it, that's how this shit works.
Centrylink DSL: 250GiB cap Centrylink Fiber: uncapped
Other than the last-mine of data transfer, it is the same Centrylink back-haul network. So why does one get capped (who can and does use significantly more bandwidth) versus the slower connection that is easier manage and do shared provisioning for?
WALP, whatever their weird justifications, I'm currently pushing ~1TiB/week on my CL Fiber line from torrent seeding. It would be more, but torrents only go as fast as the other end is willing to download.
I've done under water photography countless times with my Galaxy S5 a couple years back. Yeah, the "water-resistant" feature is the real-deal, and the phone is still working great today.
It is as simple as this: These new CPUs have integrated GPUs. I do believe these GPUs are fully DirectX 12 compatible. DX 12 only works on Windows 10, while Windows 7 supports DX 11. This is most likely the majority of the "support" and "optimizations" in Windows 10 for these new CPUs. The GPUs will still operate win DX 11 mode, just with a few new features disabled.
Samsung Galaxy S5 user here on T-Mobile. 802.11ac with the phone, I can push roughly 350mbps with it at home, so it isn't raw processing power holding back bandwidth on phones right now. My current record with LTE with this phone is about 85mbps with LTE. But per usual, carriers don't give two shits about anything by latest and greatest handsets, so even through the SGS5 is a flagship phone, it isn't the "current" flagship phone, so no updates at all.
Parent has the 2012 edition. You're probably on the 2013 edition like I am. There is a major leap and bound in performance and capability between the two years. The 2013 Nexus 7 is still my daily tablet for news, web browsing, social media, and even gaming. The thing is incredibly rock solid build and stable.
If by "click", you mean having an automated tool running inside of a VM scan URLs inside of emails to determine their contents before allowing the email to pass through to my inbox? Then sure!
In other words, their definition of a "click" is honestly far too loose.
Also, of the percent that "didn't click", how many of those messages were properly caught by spam filtration systems?
Really, this isn't a study about click through rates at all, more like someone having a predetermined subject they want to publish, and build a "test" around it to make it look a certain way.
They're missing a few details in their analysis. What about DNS load-balancing returning multiple potential IP addresses per name? What about anycasting IP addresses, or multiple end-points for an IP address depending on entry patch into a location? I think what they really found was a total number of potential current DNS names, but I somehow doubt that is the entirety of the CDN deployed right now. Also, because Netflix is very well known to be static content with controlled client applications, there is also the possibility of transparent proxies anywhere along the chain with Netflix partnering with ISPs or peer exchanges to internally reroute the traffic.
That's debatable, considering the amount of BSD source code that has made its way into both open AND closed source projects. For example, the BSD TCP/IP networking stack.

Still running HP LaserJets made in the '90s in production. These things still work like champs, AND still have drive support up through Windows 10.

They regulate the telephone networks as well. They regulate "communication", in all forms, as their name directly implies.

That's actually not the case anymore. The new Kaby Lake based CPUs have a surprisingly decent integrated GPU now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
