He needs to put the crack pipe down and back away slowly. We can't even replace a knee or hip joint artificially and get a 100% replacement and those are just mechanical devices. Yes, they help people but they are still not going to be 'good as new' and he think the brain/conciousness/soul can be replaced in 2045.
Again put the crack pipe down.
For myself, BASIC on a VIC20 and a TRS-80, then some assembly on a Commodore 64 then Apple with basic and Pascal.
Not myself, but an interesting story about a guy I met many years ago was taking a programming class where the Professor said he didnt care what language they used for their projects. So, what he did was write the program in postscript so you would feed the program into the printer and get the result as print output. Kinda clever I thought.
There is a reason my kids dont have FB, Twitter, etc accounts. Until they know what and where to disclose info, not a bright idea to open the flood gates both inbound and outbound. Just sayin.
Well, you are correct, but sort of missed the point. 'News at 11' is a backhanded slap at the news outlets in general, being that they think they can create it, rather (especially in the case of Dan) report it.
She is a troll in every sense and doesn't puff, puff, pass, just puff puff puff puffs. Seriously people elect like this that just suck the intelligence out of the world?
gee, I don't know, maybe because its really hard to figure out how to open a network Share, and click on an installer for say Visio or Office, or how to shut down or how . Its being made an OS for the people who don't know and don't care about how the machine works, which is fine in that regard, BUT I don't want it, I do know and I do care.
Thanks, you put it better than I could.
From jump street its hard to use, both. From a useability perspective why should I have UI that supposed to me my life easier harder to use to find simple stuff like How do I install a program like Symantic Endpoint Protection? ok I find out how and run the installer and it blows up. nope. not installed. Can't find the shutdown method either. (only took 2 minutes to find both on Google on my other machine to find which was easy to do, not a chore)
No command line at all? Seriously I might be an old fogie but I started with VIC20s and then CPM and then Apple DOS then Unix of various flavors and all the Windows iterations. Starting with the beta of the original Windows then WFW, NY then the rest. Compared to ME, Windows 8 is the same train wreck and RT is the same. Yes, I have an iPad and yes I am stuck to the app store unless I JB it, however I rarely find the need to do so. There are apps, they are easy to load, they work well.vNot being an Apple fanboy but the fact is it just works. I expect a command line on my daily PC. Sometimes I need it, and find / -name 'thisfile' is really helpful or God forbid I need to use sed or awk or perl. And I can do those on my tablet, not MS doesnt want me to be able to do it on with their OSs? seriously?
Its an OS for the other people who just run Word or Excel and email. Period.
You can mod me to Troll all you want, but the fact is, they still suck, both of them. Forcing someone to use either should be considered torture and therefore disallowed by the Geneva conventions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions
PGP all over again. BAN it, it must be evil! How could someone expect to talk to their friends and family without being in the clear for anyone to see. The nerve.
They both suck. I loaded Win 8 in a VM yesterday and it is still the nightmare it was during the preview. Soon it will be be one icon that says "Do something (but most likely not what I want)":)
Ditto. I believe in law enforcement, but I also believe in corruption and it is everywhere. The "Trust me I won't " phrase has gone thru the Theory stage and is now pretty much at the Law stage of BS tag lines.
The whole 'plan' from Redmond with regard to OS's and hardware mystifies me. The OSs seem to be getting more and more dumbed down & incompatible and the hardware just doesn't have any juice in more ways than one (big price tab, limited usability, no nice). RT was dead before it ever even left the drawing board. Is anyone actually shocked that they are not fling off the shelves?
Does this mean that we can usher in a new wave of music piracy? Don't need any MP3s, just distribute the content as 3D printer files and drive up the demand for such devices and filament.:)
I get what the Apps Store is. Its a clearing house for Apps that makes it, in theory, easier for content providers to get their apps out there and earning then and Apple money. I also get how Apple would want to control the stability, code quality, etc of what they publish there, _however_, no where does the concept of an app store imply nor mandate that they also become the Morality Police for a content outlet. That's insane. I like Apple and their products, but I didn't sign on for them to be my moral compass. If there is something on there I don't like then the solution is simple people.. Don't freaking buy it!
Sheesh.
Calif is already 617 BILLION dollars in debt, but they have the cash to drop 10M on Tesla? Maybe its some different form of economics than I grew up with, but I am calling BS on this. not that there are not many things in Calif that warrant calling BS on.
The 32 to 64 bit issue really isn't one, its a CPU, make the code run on it. Same rules apply for both MS and Apple. As you mention, the main issue is in the drivers which come in all flavors in the Wild West style when the controllable space is unlimited vs one that has been tested and approved. ie. you don't have 100 companies out there making motherboards with various chip-sets which require special drivers etc.
I have spent many many hours in linux with different MBs trying to compile drivers to make machine X work. With Microsoft, its not so much compile drivers as it is try and find one someplace that works. On the Mac, I because of the way they do things, I have never had a driver issue. On all the built in hardware is a given, but even attached things, I have not had to think about I need to d/l some driver or something.
Now back to the subject line, its interesting to think about, but I just don't see an ARM macbook in the near future, there are many issues with 'why' and 'how'. it could happen at some point, but I don't see a target market for it right now.
Dude is your hear so far up your rectum that its in your small intestine now? As opposed to what we have now/. Seriously? Whats the track record of Socialism?
I also run an ASA 5505. Runs like a champ. 150Mbps for firewalling. Fanless, noiseless. Better than building a PC with a distro on it in my opinion, but thats just me.
And even if they did, Congress wouldn't let them use them, because it would be taking money away from US corporations.
Wow, and here all these years I thought that was called racketeering. Nothing against the US companies mind, but, c'mon, seriously, are we going to allow them to keep spending tax dollars on unproven product to 'companies' (yes, I have seen them and worked for them and the whole minority status thing gets WAY out of hand.) to make it fair?
What is fair anyway? I was taught by my parents that fair was when you did your best and someone wanted to buy your product over your competitor's product. The customer did that because you sold a superior product for a good price, not because the customer was obliged to buy said product due to a contract quota or, cheapest wins or something. Two issues are in contrast here #1 Price and #2 Quality. Both are important in different ratios in military and industrial/consumer product.
Why the contract is there to begin with is a different discussion.

Not necessarily. A link can be saturated with a lot more 64 byte packets or a lot less 9k byte packets, but 1 Gbps is still 1 Gbps.
Ok, believe whatever you want. It makes no difference to me.

I admit to being the anonymous lurker myself sometimes, but this reinforces me to actually login when I hit /. daily and post instead of just read.

Damn.... Good thing I stocked up on those Z80 chips back in the late 70's/early 80's. Those are going to be GOLD MINE!
