The USA Has Sales Taxes don't they? Well apart from Delaware etc? VAT is a sales tax. We just include it in the prices we see quoted. The price that the public sees is the price you pay. Each country has different rates of VAT, and even on goods. My Utilitiy (electric ) has a 5% VAT, a smartphone is taxed at 20% (UK) Here in the UK we don't pay VAT on a whole range of things like non luxury food, childrens clothes and books. See, it is not as simple as you might like to think.
The average JoePublic user won't know the name of the application executable. What if there are several versions (bad systems management) which one do they choose. IT is fine for geeks but for a non geek? forget it.
The torrents of abuse I've had hurled at me from people who were forced by my old managment onto W10 was enough to make me throw in the towel and quit. Users don't like change. End Of. W10 forces a lot of change on the users.
Don't even get me started on the forced updates bricking devices. Two days before I left the above job, an update bricked the CEO's PC. The rollout of W10 stopped there and then. No amount of cajoling would persuade me to stay on and roll everyone back to W7. I'm done with Windows for good.
30 years after I first read it. Previous to that I read Canterbury Tales. There is something about old stuff that seems to make it better than most modern {pulp} fiction.
You didn't play golf or belong to the same 'Country Club' as the boss.
Simple really. It is not you but who you know that keeps you in a job these days. I'm glad that I called it a day last October. Now I do the odd one or two days of work a week. My BP has gone down so much that I'm off the meds.
And all the businesses that use VPN's for their remote access will be on that list as well. Those businesses will not be best pleased with undue attention from the TLA's.
they have more power than the Government but don't tell Donald that. He won't like it. He thinks that 'He rules the world'. When in fact, Google and Facebook do.
Yes, Server 2008R2 was just about perfect. Then they went and messed ther UI up by adding huge amounts of whitespace and moving things to totally crazy places. There have been a very large number of times that I've wanted to stangle the person responsible for the UI Mangling. They have no concept of 'Ease of Use' whatsoever.
iOS is popular in many other places. Market share is not everything. It is no use having 90% of a market and not being able to make money. Apple gets the majority of profits from smartphones. Those making low end androids can't keep on doing that forever.
I see room for both. That would spur at least some form of competition. The last thing we want is a return to the days when Windows had 95%+ of the Desktop market. It stagnated something rotten.
Just as bad IMHO. It won't fly. Android is far too entrenched. Like windows mobile, Ubuntu is years late. The only viable mobile OS's are Android and iOS.
with headphones, ear buds, air buds and all sorts of other things covering their ears. Not being able to hear what's going on around you is just IMHO silly. Will listening the latest bang,bang,boom R&B thing save you from a collision? Not it won't and it may make you more liable to be hit by a vehicle. Just you wait, the insurers will raise rates to cover themselves or eve better in their eyes, exclude anyone using a smartphone while walking or listening to tunes.
They might be earning a living this week.... Next? Who knows eh? Some 'C' level exec with a corner office in a big city miles away sees that Plant X in State Z is 0.5% more efficient than the plant where they live. So the company closes that plant. The Exec gets his big fat bonus and hundreds if not thousands of former workers now need food stamps. What price that vote then eh?
There are still a huge number of sites that just won't work without it. Yes you can fool most of them by tweaking your browser but that isn't the point. Adobe needs to put an execution date on it ASAP. That will be the only way if can truly be consigned to the trash can/wastebasket of history. It needs to die a horrible death.
'Boom' in this case is what you hear on the ground when an aircraft goes supersonic. The Supersonic Boom. But yes you may have a point. I'd fly on it in an instant. I flew on Concorde three times. A Wonderful experience.
The biggest issues with this project are excatly the same that Concorde faced. 1) The high cost of fuel for the trip. Concorde used Re-heat all the time it was supersonic. This may have changed. 2) Nations won't allow it to fly supersonic over land. This has not changed.
Seattle is a mere 46 deg N London is 51 deg N Edinburgh is 55.9 deg N (400 miles N of London)
We don't have the 'Seattle disease' here. If anything, the offices are far too brightly lit. Don't complain about the high lattitude of US cities unless they are in Alaska.
Jordan has a large Christian (orthodox) minority. Compared to Saudi, Jordan is a delight. You can even get a beer. Women do not have to cover up.
Perhaps you might like to get out of your Mom's basement from time to time and experience the real world. The USA is in many ways a scarier place than Jordan. I've visited both extensively in the past 5 years.

It seems that everything Tech that is on sale in the USA is made in China by slave workers.
Is there something that isn't we can talk about?

HURD? A formal release?
I guess that will be around 2050 then....?
Some of Android is Open Source. Please get your facts right.
There are many bits such as the cough-cough Broadcom drivers that are closed source.
Embrace the company by buying it
Extend the hours of the employees of that company without compensation
Extinguish them as they leave or die off.
Google are merely following the Microsoft benchmark we all know and love so well.

don't go near Server 2016 then.

More like a bit of fun. Not everyone commenting is a fanboi, troll or shill you know.
and not for something completly different
Oh wait... this POS has been put on sale before.
I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok.

"TheRealDonaldTrump" would never say this. He'd say something like
"We are gonna make them pay for this. It will be Fantastic, Tremendous and I'm the most intelligent man on the planet."
How much?
a big fat Zero. Everyone concerned would do it for free just to get rid of the blowhard dipshit.
