Trump has turned the White House into a reality TV set. Eerily similar to that of his shirtless horse riding buddy's own reality kleptocratic TV show.
Welcome to Amerika.
Still better than a Hillary presidency.:)
Hillary represents everything that is wrong with concentrated power while Trump merely makes a circus of many of the things wrong with concentrated power.
Both can be labelled as quite terrible
Let's put this in D&D alignment terms:
Hillary is Lawful Evil. Full stop. Trump, at best, is Chaotic Neutral leaning towards Chaotic Evil. Trump, at worst, appears to be Chaotic Evil while leaning towards Chaotic Neutral. He could actually be a brilliant Lawful Evil mastermind, but I think that gives him way too much credit.
Pinch-zoom, hover in a magic corner, drag from edge, press screen for short vs. long time, invisible menu bars, etc., etc.
While I 100% agree with what you say, I would remove "pinch to zoom" from that list. Pinch to zoom is so incredibly intuitive that children as young as 2 can figure it out quickly. Grabbing two points on a picture and moving the points closer or farther to/from each other is sublingual. Even a stroke patient would do this automatically.
Apple could buy Microsoft's liquid assets and still have over 100 billion to spare.
$100 billion. That is a little over $14 from every man, woman, and child on this planet.
And that is just the leftover amount from buying all of Microsoft's, a single entity, liquid assets.
Why is this value being hoarded? Why isn't some portion of it being distributed amongst the people who actually create the value? Sure, Steve Jobs got a lot when he was alive, but he was only 1 of the value creators. What about the Chinese people who actually built the devices? Why weren't they rewarded? Why did an architect for OS X only make industry standard pay?
This shit is fucked up. Profits, yes. Hoarding all of the gold, no.
First, we need to disable the mechanism that actually performs the automatic reboot after installing updates... -Open Task Scheduler (Start, type "Task" and it'll appear in the results) -Expand Task Scheduler Library>Microsoft>Windows>WindowsUpdate -Delete the "Reboot" task The task that performs the reboot is now gone, but we're not done yet.
Next, we need to prevent Windows from re-creating the automatic reboot task, which has reportedly happened spontaneously on some computers, most often during build upgrades... -Hit WinKey+R and enter %systemroot%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator to open that folder -Delete the file named "Reboot" -Create a new FOLDER named "Reboot" Since a folder named Reboot now exists, Windows won't be able to re-create the task file named Reboot.
And people say Linux is hard to use. LOL.
To keep my Linux computer from rebooting at unwanted times, all I have to do is this set of steps: 1) Do nothing 2) Do nothing and finally... wait for it... 3) Do nothing
A little complex for some people, but I am sure even grandma can follow the steps given.;)
Laugh it up, but Trump just ordered a weekly publication of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Hitler did the same back in the 40's. Google up "The Criminal Jew".
Out of all the yelling and screaming I have heard recently, this fact is the most interesting. Do you have a link to research the veracity of your statement with?
Honestly, with all the yelling and screaming and twisting and turning, it is hard to do any meaningful research. Completely innocent things get twisted into huge human rights violations and then, you run across a true human rights violation like this and nobody has ever heard of it. WTF people? Just shut up and talk about facts.
On the bright side, many people who I considered sane here at Slashdot have proven themselves to be rabidly ignorant people who would foreswear rational and logical thought in order to hate on a single person. But then, the climate change articles should have proven that long ago.
People who are doing what you are doing are really getting on my nerves. I have no love of Trump but he has only been in Office for a week. There are all sorts of twistings going on with the descriptions of what he is doing.
Just wait a few months and then look back on cold facts and THEN start your whining. Right now, your whining is worse than a two year old child. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
I am sure reality will confirm all of your fears, so just have a little bit of patience to allow reality the time to confirm that the apocalypse has actually occurred.
Government provides better services for less money, and is the only thing standing between you and abusive monopolies and products that kill you.
Then how do you explain Microsoft, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and the Food Pyramid?
I have news for you: You are not important. Some group or another will turn you into roadkill. "You" control governments differently than "you" control businesses differently than "you" control Churches differently than "you" control Political Action Committees different than, etc etc.
Ultimately, the only "individual" that matters is the person at the top of the organization. What they decide is what will happen. If you get poisoned, perhaps you will be executed, see the baby formula incident in China. If you get shot in the back of the head, perhaps there will be no repercussions at all, see Stalin's purges or Mao's great leap forward. Perhaps you will get nickel and dimed to death by rent seeking corporations and there will be no recourse, see Nationstar Mortgage or Comcast.
As long as groups are allowed, they will be clumsy brutes who will stomp the shit out of you without even noticing. Government is a group. Corporations are a group. Churches are a group. No group worries overmuch about an individual.
Denying lawful residents the right to enter the United States and treating them like criminals at borders and airports isn't keeping America safe.
Ummm... 30 years ago, when crossing the border from Mexico, the immigration officials held me and my friends. They tried everything they could to get a reaction out of us and almost succeeded in baiting one of my friends. Had they succeeded, they would have happily held us indefinitely.
The best that I can hope for nowadays is to fly in to America and be on the receiving end of a surly and suspicious stare.
Are you saying that things have changed recently? I am willing to bet that they are still super-authoritarian assholes baiting the weakest and most vulnerable amongst (really Firefox? Amongst is NOT a word according to you? Fuck off.) us for their pleasure.
Somehow or another, I imagine that having the President's support for your assholery isn't going to change things much as they were already as low as you can go.
In case it is not already crystal clear, I am a full American citizen, born and bred right here in the United States of America.
Trump is doing exactly what he said he would. He promised this during the campaign.
Politicians just can't win can they...
Seriously, most of the time, people are whining and bitching about a candidate NOT keeping campaign promises when they reach office... and now peoploe are bitching that the promises are being kept. WTF people? Stop your whining and bitching and be glad you are getting "hope and change" for once.
Oh wait, the last politician didn't keep his campaign promises. I would go so far as to say that he did the opposite of what he promised. As terrible as the current changes are, at least you were told up front what to expect.
Crybabies. I would be posting anon too if I were you.
Unfortunately, the better way to do it - fewer but targeted ads tailored to better suit your interests and needs - is vehemently opposed by the pro-privacy crowd. The more accurately they can target the ads to you, the more people oppose it as a bigger invasion of their privacy.
I know you are a relatively smart person but you do seem to be missing something here: Most advertisements are lies. "Fresher breath in 45 minutes", "All your problems go away if you use this", "Best product ever", etc etc.
Fuck that.
If I am looking for a solution to a problem, an advertisement is one of the last things on this planet that will convince me. I have no extra money for bullshit frivolities that I never knew I needed.
Summary: Lies, aka advertisements, need to die in fire. Accuracy merely helps their lies to be more effective. Again, fuck that!
Our real unemployment rateâ"in fact, I saw a chart the other day, our real unemploymentâ"because you have ninety million people that arenâ(TM)t working. Ninety-three million to be exact.
and then
Since there are around 38 million blacks in the US and he claims 93 million are out of work, this cannot be true unless every black man, woman, and child is out of work three times.
So if I understand this correctly, he claims 93 million people are out of work and you are assuming all 93 million are "black" and therefore claim that his numbers are inaccurate because there are not 93 million "black" people in America?
I am confused. What exactly are you trying to say? All I am seeing is nonsense. If forced to take this post at face value, all i can assume is that you are a racist who thinks that only "black" people can be unemployed? Or maybe you think Trump is racist and could only be referring to "black" people?
I am getting a little worried. I have never seen so much propaganda and mind fucking before. WTF is going on? Why are people attacking reality so much? What is being hidden? What is to be gained by a populace who can no longer tell up from down?
The more I see of this shit, the more that I am happy that Trump was elected. It means the people who were in power no longer have a stranglehold on that power.
We might actually get the hope and change that the last president promised and thoroughly and completely failed to do.
I think Trump will be a terrible president, but he is not part of the establishment who would be more than happy to send undesirables off to the gas chambers and ovens.
And what do you propose should happen to those who don't have the skills, and can't acquire them?
You already know the answer to that question: Those without skills will starve to death. Hell, even those with skills will starve to death if there is a hiccup in job opportunities.
The world is an absolutely brutal place and fuck you, I've got mine. I don't really want to live in a world like this, but meh. What other choices are there? Eat or be eaten.
You are more correct than you realize about the architecture issue.
The architecture should have been taking everything, dumping it to a "log" to be processed, and then processed. Once the processing is done, the "logs" could be deleted. If they had done this, recovery would have been easy.
I mean really, "you" expect data to always be processed perfectly? Not a chance. There is always room for hiccups. Store the raw data until you can process it. Simple. Obvious. And clearly not done in this instance.
Please note that the "you" in this sentence is not halivar but rather anyone writing an application to store data.
if MS pushes the issue, they will lose industry to linux, and they know it.
I would have thought would know something like that too, but recent decisions have me scratching my head. Either the NSA is hitting them REALLY hard or they are utterly fucking disconnected from reality. Decisions from Microsoft just boggle the mind over the past few years. Utterly disconnected from reality. No sight at all of cause and effect. No sight at all on how Windows 10 affects businesses. Just blows the mind.
They seem to totally not even consider how a business would feel using software that could give advantages to their competitors. It blows my mind.
"The UNIX way" was to have multiple, not quite compatible, complete operating systems from multiple vendors such as HPUX, Solaris, IRIX, etc. Porting your software between those was a considerable effort, and in fact a whole standardisation body (posix) has sprung up around efforts to make those systems at least nominally compatible. And in later years, the Linux way was quite similar, with LSB attempting to keep distributions at least nominally compatible with each other, but the effort of porting an application from one distribution to another still going by the name of "porting".
I have no idea in which dimension your UNIX way happened, but it wasn't this one.
Perfect troll or perfect idiot? No idea. Don't care.
And then you run across monsters like me. I drive until my fuel tank is close to empty... so roughly about 4 hours non-stop. I fill my tank, use the restroom, etc in under 5 minutes and I am back on the road again. I typically drive 18 hours with stops only for fuel. I have driven 38 hours straight before. I put 30k miles on my new car in the first 3 months I owned it.
I am... a driving maniac. I love driving (not commuting, that is not driving). Oddly, I have been considering getting a Tesla but I have no illusions at all about how far I can go and how fast. I test drove one and it seems like a nice car to drive. I may get one as a 4th vehicle. It will NEVER be a distance vehicle until I can swap battery packs out instead of recharging.
Let's face it, folks, we have been bullshitting them for about a century now, I can understand that they're kinda pissed.
I spent a decade in the region and I have given this a lot of thought: Fuck 'em. I do not do religion; however, the Western World has Christianity, which teaches a fundamental lesson of "turn the other cheek". This is why we are civilized and they are not. Don't get me wrong, there are some really good people over there, but as a culture, they teach fighting, retribution, and revenge. Until they learn the "turn the other cheek" lesson, nobody can ever do right by them.
So, fuck 'em. When they are ready to join us at the adult table, they can. Until then, no apologies (as that is just a sign of weakness) and no regrets (another sign of weakness in animals).
What is REALLY funny is that Al Queada (SP?) in Iraq said they were only doing suicide bombs and car bombs to get Americans out of Iraq. Funny how the same troubles were there with and without American forces present.
Granted, Saddam was keeping that nastiness in check... but we do not need to devolve this into a discussion of Monday morning quarterbacking. A useful conversation to be sure... but not useful between us right now.
While it is nice to have an option for a i7 CPU and 32Gb of RAM for the minority of users that actually need that processing power, most people do not need that kind of performance any more than they need a car that is designed with the 24 hours of Le Mans in mind.
So... are you saying that there i no point in product differentiation? They should just release the Macbook and be done with it? No pro version?
Or... are you implying that making a consumer version and calling it a pro version is not fraud?
I am honestly unsure what you are getting at here, as on its face, what you are saying is nonsense. Either a race car driver needs a race car or the driver just needs to not participate. What Apple has done here is to tell the race car driver that they can not participate in this race... with a car that was previously considered a race car.
Blowing away the moderations I have done in this thread because everyone is missing something REALLY important here: How do we know that Apple did not simply modify the non-caching mode to ignore the directive and use the cache anyways?
Granted, they probably did just fix a bug... but maybe they didn't. Maybe they just use the cache now even when caching is turned off.
The reason why I am piggy-backing on your comment is because it was deeply insightful and along the same lines.

Almost good enough to become a .sig. Well stated sir. :)

You can drive 250 miles in two hours?
I have. And more. That is only 125 miles per hour. Perhaps not legal in some jurisdictions... so I won't say which jurisdictions I have done this in.
And then you run across monsters like me. I drive until my fuel tank is close to empty... so roughly about 4 hours non-stop. I fill my tank, use the restroom, etc in under 5 minutes and I am back on the road again. I typically drive 18 hours with stops only for fuel. I have driven 38 hours straight before.

Just how many people do you think your scenario cover as a percentage of the population of the United States?
At least 10%. If telling 36 million people to fuck off is okay in your book, then please, feel free to do so.
Have a nice day :)
