The last time I tried it, it didn't even recognize my USB keyboard or mouse so it was completely and entirely useless. Seems like they should focus their attention on making an OS that works on computers built within the past decade instead of forking other projects' code.
Can't say I've used a single Oracle product that didn't end up exploding in my face at one point or another for no apparent reason.
One time I couldn't upgrade MySQL because it claimed I couldn't go from paid to free licensing on that version. I've never paid for MySQL in my life. It's stupid bugs and lack of attention to detail like that which makes me think Oracle is guilty, guilty, GUILTY!
Everyone knows Russia has nuclear weapons. They have a ton. They could blow up the world. So could the United States. That's really irrelevant. Nobody is crazy enough to use them.
What needs to happen is Ukraine needs to ask for EU assistance, and the EU needs to come together on this. If they don't recognize the Russian threat and push back, Vladimir Putin is going to keep chomping up the small fries. Russia is dangerous, but not nearly as dangerous as the Soviet Union was. If the EU moved forces into Ukraine along their Eastern border, Russia would be contained. It would need to be a sizable EU force, and strictly an EU force. No direct US participation on this one, unless it got bloody (which it wouldn't).
By staying out of it, the US could play the role of mediator and the crisis would likely be resolved peacefully. The US and EU both just need to have a backbone when dealing with Vladimir Putin. The man is a tough-guy wannabe.
Where do you live that you can change between decent high-speed providers? The best option I ever had was the choice between Comcast and Verizon FiOS. Good luck suing either of them.
Nowadays I'm on a smaller cable provider. And that's the only option, unless you still consider DSL or satellite "high-speed".
On yet another hand, exactly how much money do you want to spend archiving and holding onto a high-quality rip of a movie that you're never going to watch again?
And for the record, I'm on Sprint and I have absolutely no issues whatsoever. 4G is as fast or faster than what I get at home and I get 4G coverage from home to work. I use a ton of data and could ever afford AT&T or any other phone company that monitors my data.
Cool story bro.
I'm on Sprint and missed two phone calls today because my phone never rang. I have a Galaxy Note II. No 4G here. Most of the time I'm lucky if I get 2 bars. I live right near town as well, which is pretty much D.C. suburbs. It generally takes me about four hours to download 100MB over the air. It's like this wherever I go. Illinois: no signal; Wisconsin: no signal; In-Laws: no signal; Home: no signal; Brother's: 4G with one or two bars, SOMETIMES.
It's crap, and they really need to stop screwing around with crappy promotions and just build out their damn network. I have a year left on my contract, and then I'm going to Verizon. At least then I'll be able to make and receive phone calls.
Hmm, I can spend dollars, which everyone uses... or I can use bitcoins which almost nobody uses. Seeing as how bitcoins can't completely replace dollars, and dollars can be used anywhere, I'll save myself the time and just keep using dollars.
Well for one thing, Iceland has about 340,000 people. I live in a relatively small state... Maryland that has ~5,800,000 people in it. Our largest city alone has twice the population of your country. I would imagine the 17x more population, just for this state alone, would make a single unified system far more complicated. The GDP of Maryland is over $300 billion and the GDP of Iceland is roughly $14 billion. Again, the level of economic activity is considerably higher, just for this single state.
Is it antiquated? Yes. There's a lot of other things here that are old as well, like the roads and infrastructure. You know why? Because many of them were built 60 years ago. For such a massive system, in either case, an overhaul every few years would be tremendously expensive in time, money and effort. This is why Brazil's system is so far ahead of ours. They built it up considerably later. We're getting there, it's just going to take time.
I got this gym pass for like $40 a month*. Except I don't like to go to the gym, but I said what the heck... I'll try it anyways. So I never ended up using it, but I can still arm wrestle the best and win. Like this one time I tied with my ex-Army friend. He's one tough sonofa...
Also I ride a bike sometimes, it's fun. I might get my own when I move, not sure yet. Anyways so getting back to it I guess I wasn't the target audience for the gym**?
* I didn't really get a pass.
** What does this have to do with anything?
Except that if someone takes a copy of your software, you still own it and still have your original copy. It's a poor analogy because no one has actually taken anything from you except your right to sell your hard work. Punishing those who actually do pay for your hard work by locking them in with draconian measures will cause them to slip through your grasp.
Sorry to hear that. I got an Asus G75 a few weeks ago and it works great. I haul it with me everywhere. It's an amazing laptop and I've always had good results with Asus prior to it.
HP is one to steer clear of though. I've got more dying HP laptop carcasses laying around than I really should...
No... at that point I might start considering my faith, legacy, future and whether or not there's a chance I'm going to hell, if it exists. Steve probably should have spent more time considering those instead of how to save his own miserable hide for just a few more months.
He died an ass hole, and if there's a hell, he's probably in it. His money won't do him any good there either.

It's in the title.
If you want to touch any systems with any kind of privileged access in the DoD, you're going to need some certifications in order to be approved.
Well... yeah, pretty much.

Maybe that's how it's so secure?
Tesla makes toy cars which are fashion statements for people who can afford to waste money on that sort of thing.
Funny, that's how I feel about people who buy Mercedes.
No... they really don't.

Basically what you're saying is this:
We have sliding locks in real life.
When a sliding lock is used on a computer, all of a sudden it's a brilliant idea?
How about rounded rectangles in real life, like erasers and food trays?
All of a sudden when something is a rounded rectangle on a computer it's another brilliant idea deserving of a patent?
Also, online, you could be anyone. Respectfully.

Why, I don't even see Russia on that list.

Probably a sign of the kind of technical expertise Oracle has and why they should be avoided at all costs.
Are you stupid?
It takes math just to put up shelves in the bathroom.
Also, it's a dam. Not a damn. Damn!
Can't say I'll ever be in the Olympics. Maybe McDonald's should pay for security, they are sponsoring this thing afterall...
I have redundant backups of the pictures I took of my cat. They're located in three geographically diverse locations. Pictures of my cat.
What were you thinking?

If you don't have the money, you shouldn't be buying a tablet in the first place. It's purely a luxury item.
Ah, so you sat down and had a conversation with them? How do you know that?
As for the rest, blah blah blah. tl;dr
Reading sure is hard isn't it? Maybe you should head back on over to Digg... Oops...
