When you buy a machine nowwhere does it say this is a subsidised machine that runs about 50% slower because we installed a fuck ton of shit you don't need or want on it that will annoy, nag and interfere with your operation of this machine. I would love to see some consumers suing the OEM's for the degradation of the performance of their machines. The crapware (which in many cases borders on malware) is an atrocious hit to most users, especially those that don't understand how to remove it and think it is normal for a machine to be that bad.
It is actually a little better than that. HAving the original disk always meant having to do a shit ton of patches. At least this way you get a relatively upto date build. Certainly would be something I would happily try on family member computers when they purchase crap ladden imaged computers. Still prefer my own custom builds for myself though.
Moron last I checked people ARE still writing programs in C ever day and MS DID do something about this 25 years ago and repeatedly since then. They pushed VB (that was shit) and C#, C# is actually pretty decent however they really haven't taken off cross platform.
gather by the lack of technical knowledge of the author about a common feature he thinks is somehow secret and hidden it really would be better off dead.
Secret? ummm welcome to a decade ago. The only thing secret about this appears to be the authors lack of knowledge about technology from the last decade. This has been a common selling point for a long time with its various iterations to allow management of machines regardless of OS and/or health of said OS so that you can fix shit remotely.
Missing from the highly biased summary. The WHO actually downgraded the rating for coffee stating that their is no conclusive evidence to suggest drinking coffee causes cancer
I think there is a major difference nowadays. They used to simply not know about topics, now though it is quite common for them to think they know about something as they read about it on social media and it doesn't even occur to them that what they are being fed as news or information is made up bullshit from marketing departments or people just pushing agendas. I am not claiming regular news sources are great either, but in comparison to social media they are.
That would explain why most kids now adays are so ill informed. My younger sister is 30 and lives on social media, it never ceases to amaze me the shit she believes or doesn't know about, especially around science where the just plain WRONG information is more abundant than facts on social media.
Then Wikileaks is playing politics and if so I hope they finally get the prick. It goes totally against what they are supposedly out there to do and makes a mockery of all the retoric they have been on about with regards to freedom.
If he has the information then FUCKING RELEASE IT NOW so they can swap to a viable alternative. otherwise if he waits the US end up with Trump as president and that will be worse than anything that cow could possibly come up. Mind you nothing stated in the summary here appears to be a reason for indictment, overriding the miltary is something they are supposed to do when they think it appropriate, being wrong or stupid is not a crime (otherwise trump would have been locked up decades ago).
As opposed to Kodi which won't play a whole range of content, no Netflix, buggy DVD and Blu ray menuing, buggy addins, unreliable. hmmmm, maybe plex sucks too but it would have to be nigh unusuable to be worse than Kodi.
It matters because it appears to be a manufacturing defect. It wasn't noticed till after warranty expired but due to rust etc it was obviously not something that just happened. Refusing to fix out of warranty for such an issue is not unheard of and while an arsehole act could at least be justifiable under the warranty conditions, trying to cover it up though is most definitely NOT justifiable.
I took the plunge on Kodi late last year after friends telling me how great it was. Have regretted it ever since, they constantly make up excuses for the abysmal quality of it. Fucking buggy addons that take down Kodi not just themselves, shit that doesn't work consistently between versions and a litany of other bugs. At the time I thought nothing could be worse than windows media centre...I was wrong. Currently bought a chromecast and have been working on setting up plex to get rid of the turd that is Kodi,. I am sure I will get modded to hell for this but I would not recommend Kodi to anyone.
The problem is we don't actually know what to look for. We currently look for worlds where life might be possible that is similar to ours. For all we know the universe is teaming with life but we have no idea how to recognise it as we can't actually get out there and look. It is like looking for a needle in a thousand haystacks when you have no idea what a needle actually looks like or is made of, you could step on it and have no idea you found it.
It seems Trumps policy is to abandon the region and leave South Korea and Japan to worry about the problem. Sounds more like he is happy to let North Korea go on their merry way.
because a story saying that a hacked phone microphone could be used to listen to you would elicit the response of "No SHIT Sherlock" and people would move on without clicking on it. Far better to create an overly complex scenario that produces inferior results and is far harder to do but gets the clicks for "WTF"!
unless you run your password manager on a non internet connected stand alone machine I would say this is pretty bad advise from the majority of users. Most users simply don't have the security awareness or safe computer use habits to make a password manager secure, with drive by exploits and malware infesting everything these days putting all your eggs in one basket would be tantamount to internet suicide for many people.
PS: the important rule with pass phrases is DON'T use something common. pick something that has some meaning to you and combine it with some rules about when to substitute letters/numbers/symbols. It isn't hard to come up with something that is easy to remember while being highly unpredictable.
If I left my Answer of how then it would not be a highly secure mechanism anymore. However for my moderately security sensitive passwords I usually use a pass phrase combined with capital's, numbers and non alpha numeric characters. e.g. Security thru Obscurity could become "5eCur!tythru0bsCur!ty" incredibly easy to remember and incredibly difficult to brute force or guess
No, it's because they want to drive people to instead use cloud services so that they can get into control of all your data.
To Microsoft and Oracle the desktop operating system is a necessary evil and they want a transit into thin clients. But they don't want the users to understand that they do it, instead it's a free "upgrade".
While I would not put that beyond them. The infinitesimally small number of people affected by not having a 64 bit IDE makes your statement not just unlikely but down right dumb. Even the request for having 64 bit was from less than 4,000 developers. I think not working towards a 64 bit IDE is a little short sited but given it would cost 10's if not hundreds of millions to do, and only benefit a fraction of a fraction of developers (I would think we are talking less than 0.01%), it isn't a surprising decision. I would expect there are far higher priorities that benefit far larger groups of devs.

Just want to know whether all components of this reator are US of A designed and made.
For everyones sake I hope not!

Soon? apart from VR none of those items are really on the horizon for home users for this gen or probably several gens after it.
Apple care more for aesthetics than function. I can't see them sacrificing some thinness for making there machines half decent.

So basically you are making statements of fact about the present based on very very dated experience?

I think more likely you would just see a lot of mail fraud and mail spam where people send out their malware by mail.
