Until the hardware drivers need IOCTLs that simply aren't supportable anymore there is no excuse for not supporting old hardware. I get not supporting old OSs in new hardware, and I think MS is trying to use that same justification for breaking support on their side too.
I do know how it works and for those even moderately skilled it's great, but it positively kills noobs of all types. The closest to a noob friendly distro is ubuntu, but I'd think for the Windows -> linux transition crowd KDE would be better for the desktop.
That accurately describes my ex. She'll try to buy happiness or health, rather than actually doing something about it.
As to GP, there are a couple different pulse rates that matter: resting, moderate activity, and high activity/peak. The other thing that matters is how long it takes to go from peak to resting rate after you stop working out. I could see a wearable monitor being valuable for: get baseline sleep rate get average daily rate get several samples of resting rate throughout the day automate the sample/time measurement of peak to rest
Of course you can do nearly all those manually with the same effectiveness and you really don't need to *constantly* monitor any of them. Maybe once a month checks is plenty.
A lot of us really shook our heads when Intel killed the i960 line, and even moreso when it sold off the StrongARM licence and line. Not Paul O's smartest move.
I *think* it's less about CPU and more about chipset support. Chipset controls the following: * SATA / m2 * USB (2/3) * Sound * SMBus (memory SPD timing info from eeprom, Battery status on notebooks, board temp sensors, fan speed monitors, etc) * LPC * PCI * PCIe (non PEG slots, PEG x16 slot comes from CPU) * LAN * Onboard WiFi * TPM
CPU would also have a factor in: * PEG slot * supported instruction set (if they want to use new instructions for a feature and not have to deal with workarounds on older CPUs?) * crypto So, with chipsets being so closely married to CPUs and consumers being much more aware of the CPU version than the exact chipset version I think the rationale is that linking it to CPU featureset is the easiest to manage.
I think that there is a real chance of some flavor of Linux making it with decisions like this from MS. I wish that *someone* would rally the community behind a single "intro version" for noobs to the Linux ecosystem.
As more and more applications become web based the host OS that you're on makes less and less difference. There are issues with outlook and exchange to deal with and there are issues with some games not running on Linux, but for a simple email/web/social media/pictures system Linux is a very viable alternative already.
Does Amazon prime video and Netflix work on linux yet? That may be a killer, IDK. I use Chromecast for netflix and firestick for prime video, so no clue if they work on linux or not.
Fair enough, but it seems that the easy way to avoid breaking the treaty is to apply the laser long enough to kill... an interesting side effect of the law; that death is more acceptable than blinding.
Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons prohibits the use of laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness. The parties to the protocol also agree to not transfer such weapons to any state or non-state entity.[2] The protocol does not prohibit laser systems where blinding is an incidental or collateral effect, but parties that agree to it must take all feasible precautions to avoid such effects.[11][12]
-Wikipedia
So, it would seem that if we target the engine or wheels and someone is blinded as a collateral action there is no issue, similarly if we target the soldier long enough to raise their temperature thousands of degrees and kill them there is no issue...
does not reliably work, particularly on newer (and ironically higher cost) units.
When previews became unskippable I invested in a "lifetime" AnyDVD licence and started ripping all the disks I owned, built a plex server, and have not looked back. (other than to have to buy a new lifetime licence).
I generally agree with you. The details were: daughter sent home for being involved in a fight, no mark on record. boy sent home, mark on record, suspension. boy came back to school with a gauzed nose to be greeted by "you got beat up by a girl" from his peers.
Punishment fit the crime on an overall basis. Add to that he's treated my daughter like a princess ever since, and hasn't (to the best of my knowledge) bothered another girl at school either.
Oh, I've been doing this for 17 years. I'd like to think I have fairly clear code when I'm not being a sloppy lazy ass. The example I used above was a case of Proof of concept then re-tasked and never got back to it, someone else promoted it because it worked and then I got it back when I was going to extend and add to that area of the code. I also refactored the hell outta it.
I actually said "What the fuck were they thinking? This is the most obtuse shit I've seen in a long time, it's almost what I'd do if I hated the maintenance coder."

Similar here, except I finally did pop in HS and collapsed a guy's larynx. Never was picked on again...
I've had a couple fights, some won, some lost, all were the end of it (whatever "it" was).
As to my kids I teach them the following: I am 100% against fighting, unless I have to, then I am 100% for it.
The message is to avoid conflict unless there is no choice, then don't hold back, hit hard, hit fast, hit first*, hit last. My daughter was physically cornered by a boy in elementary school. He tried to kiss her against her will. She assessed that she was not in "extreme" danger so refrained from a groin shot and instead waited for him to lean in to kiss her and head butted him, flattening his nose. She was sent home for fighting, he was sent home for bleeding everywhere. I bought her ice cream and had a meeting with the principal where it was agreed there would be no notes in her file about the fight, as it was self defense.
*hit first... a touchy subject indeed. hitting over being called names, no. Hitting as response to other physical contact like a bad intentioned shove? Hell yeah!
As to the bullying part... I'm pretty sure anyone that's been on/. more than 30 seconds has seen trolls and anyone who's posted has met the Asshole named AC that spews shit while being hidden from actual identification.
political ideology and morality are orthogonal measures of a person. I know many good republicans, many bad ones too. Same for Dems, and even the handful of Marxists* I know.
As to the style of accounting... total sleazeball stuff right there.
*using that very loosely so I can actually count a handful...
Well, If as the GP post had suggested, that I as owner of a domain make email accounts for family, and PP had posited the "what-ifs" making the case of why not create the addresses, this was my response.
If I am offering a pro-bono service (to anyone) and it becomes prohibitive to me to continue doing so (cost, legal, blacklisted domain, etc.) then I would stop service.
Generally the/. community is only pissy with telcos when they are taking money and not giving the service the money was for, or acting against the better of the community because they are monopoly providers. In this case when taking no money to provide something that is available from literally hundreds of providers for costs from $0.00 to $stupid.high it's not really the same ballpark (or even sport).
Of course the alternative would be PP point of don't provide it in the first place.
What about: Denmark Finland Netherlands Canada Sweden Norway Ireland New Zealand All of which are socialist, all of which are quite successful, even with relatively high tax rates.

pretty much, yes.

I guess that makes sense... but gawd warfare sucks balls.

of course it's also likely that those with no legal way to see it also have nothing to legally fear from downloading it for the most part...
In a quasi related vein, I thought usenet was still the best place for DLs with minimal risk...

ergo, "not perfect", though if that's the worst you can sling at us yanks I'm gonna call that good.
(And yeah, there's *vastly* worse mud that AC could sling)
Of course there will always be pockets of information that don't forget. But yes, this is the future we are headed for sadly.
