Windows RT might not run x86 apps but it does do everything Windows does out of hte box. Which I've found incredibly useful when traveling. E.g. I can remote desktop into my computer without any additional software. I can use the command line. I can just copy paste things to a USB stick or print directly. I couldn't do any of that with my galaxy Tab.
Windows 8 on the desktop is broken. This isn't a subjective tastes issue. It is objectively horrible.
You sound like those fox news commentators insisting that it's a "fact" that Obama is a socialist and "science" that women belong at home with the kids. Simply throwing the words "objective" and "fact" into a sentence doesn't make a statement either. The word you're looking for is "opinion".
Why would someone want to be subject to limitations like full screen apps? One reason: easier window management. When I'm on an ultrabook I don't have 10 windows open everywhere, there simply isn't enough space. Snapping Skype to one side and IE to the other is superior to me having to juggle arbitrary windows.
With arbitrary dividing spacing I would rather have dockable windows in defined panes than floating windows most of the time. Almost all of my high end applications have moved to a docked/paned windowing system. The few that haven't like 3ds max are a #()@# nightmare of overlapping dialog windows trying to get to the one I want.
I love AeroSnap in Windows 7 but I really wish I could define an arbitrary divide point and maintain that point. Instead aero snap means I have to snap and then resize new windows. Which is a hassle with a trackpad or touchscreen.
Lastly... that's so far only in the Tablet/Laptop side of the OS so I don't know why you're bitching. Regular old school anarchy windowing is still completely in tact (and enhanced) in windows 8. And for Tablet/Laptop apps it's already really nice even if needing a little more polish (see 8.1+ enhancements). I'm hoping that by 8.2 and with the addition maybe of vertical splits in the dock paneling they start offering it as an alternate windowing system for the desktop.
Also menus are idiotic. If you're using the start menu like it was designed in 1995 you're objectively slower than someone who just hits the start button and types in the first 3 letters of the application name.
Start -> All Programs -> Adobe Creative Suite -> Photoshop. (took me 10s) vs Start Button + "Phot" + Enter. (took me less than 3s and works in Windows 8 and 7 exactly the same.)
If you click the "All programs button" on the start screen (Just like you have to press the "All programs" button in the start menu, you'll get taken to a full organized list of applications. And with the tweaks in 8.1 it'll be even more usable than the "well organized menu" since you can sort by how frequently you use your apps. You shouldn't be wasting a second of your time curating your start menu.
And if you really were a power user you wouldn't have frequently used apps in your start menu, you would pin them to the taskbar like you've been able to do for over a decade. The fact that you're trying to use Windows 8 as if it was Windows 95 is your problem not Windows 8.
Or people are pointing out that Microsoft is just becoming like IBM. You aren't sure what they do. You own nothing from them...but somehow they continue being more successful year over year.
The iPad is growing but it's not necessarily killing PC sales.
It's just like mobile web browsing is increasing but it's largely additive not replacing usage. And as long as the ipad remains a dumbed down extra bit it's vulnerable. The race is on to make iPad more PC capable or Windows more tablet ready.
At face value it would imagine that's definitely responsible for at least the higher weekend fatality rate. Who would *schedule* a surgery long in advance for a Sunday? I imagine a Sunday surgery is the result of a doctor on-call performing an emergency operation without any warning or preparation. Probably a life saving procedure or it could wait until the week.
However, if you read the linked study they were only looking at elective surgeries. Which would imply they were scheduled in advance and not life threatening more dangerous operations.
There are at least two potential explanations for finding worse outcomes in patients in hospital at the weekend. The first is that these differences reflect poorer quality of care at the weekend, and the second is that patients admitted or operated on at the weekend are more severely ill than those admitted during the week.
They then go on to attempt to eliminate the type of procedure from the study to eliminate emergency care.
Depends on your definition of a "tablet". I've been using a Surface Pro as both a tablet and a PC for the last few months and love it. Editing 5k RED footage, creating rough composites, recording naration, excel, word editing and playing games. And then I just pop the keyboard and use it as a tablet for web browsing on the couch.
I'm trying to think if my income has gone up 50% in the last 10 years.
Maybe if we hadn't been duped into throwing the unions under the bus you might have had an organization negotiating on your behalf to get regular raises to reflect your increased productivity. Also it's not 50% since the number of employees increased too. It's more like 40% increase in wages assuming your numbers are correct. That means they got about a 3.5% raise every year. That's exactly in line with the private sector which also was projected to see on average about a 3.5% raise.
I think the problem is #2. They took a narrow paranoid demographic that hates *everything* related to the cloud and instead went with a completely different approach where you BYO router?
I had no concerns about the cloud with the original pitch. My home connection has like 2Mb up. My 4G connections has like 20Mbps down. The WHOLE POINT of this technology was to speed up your internet by teaming multiple download connections. My understand of the new system is that everything gets routed through my home connections. That means that my 4G connection is just faster to start with by a huge margin than trying to take a crappy wifi and my 4G and funnel them both through home internet connection.
They shouldn't have listened to Slashdot. I don't understand the point anymore.
Not only that, a hospital's patient who gets sicker actually makes the hospital *more* money since they get to do more healing! Win Win! Yay libertarianism.
Like the rest of the real world it's complicated. If I find a safe in the woods behind your house I can't necessarily compel you to open it since you might not be aware it's yours... you might not have access to its contents and there is no proof that you ever used the safe.
However if I raid your home and you slam the safe shut as I enter the room and then lock it there is already proof that you own the safe and that you have had access to it so it's no longer self incrimination it's obstructing justice.
Somewhere between those two extremes resides t his case where they found HDDs presumably in his house however he's claiming that he never had access to their contents. That's maybe plausible so erring on the side of constitutional rights the judge didn't force him to open them. However now that they've partially decrypted one of the drives and found evidence (personal documents, etc) there is reasonable proof that he has had control and access to the contents and therefore can no longer claim that they aren't his.
It's a completely safe assumption that Azure is several orders of magnitude more scale-able than whatever purpose built solution EA and even Blizzard have. Both have one business and one business only. Microsoft has Azure servers ready to become Xbox servers literally as fast as it takes to load a game.
I think this has some interesting opportunities based on how they explain it. AI would be the top of my list for things to offload to the cloud. You could also bake light maps extremely quickly. If Global Illumination updated once every second and transitioned between multiple solutions nobody would notice. GI though would be probably too bandwidth intensive. AI and 'off screen' triggers though should work great.
Why would consumer groups step up to protect consumers from paying taxes they are obligated to pay? Consumer groups are supposed to look out for cases where consumers are being defrauded. In this instance if you buy something from Amazon but don't pay sales tax (and live in a sales tax state) then you're supposed to go through the trouble of filling out a form or you're breaking the law (technically). If anything this makes consumers' lives easier since they can comply with state legislation with less hassle.
Part of that is tricky in that senators sit on different committees. So for instance you might have 10 senators on an important committee. In that instance you might not have a single representative on *that* committee. I would still want to support those who are looking out for my interests on that committee.
Harvard also claims [harvard.edu] that 20% of its class falls under the $65k/year threshold and therefore pays nothing.
Wow, that's actually more depressing than I thought. Seeing as the median household income is around $48k that means that probably 75% of their students come out of households with a household income at least one full standard deviation above the mean.
"Hey, come from an "average" middle class household. Good news you have a 20% chance of being accepted to a top university!
And since then Congress and the Senate have been completely blocked by endless procedural blocks and filibustering. 5 years without being able to actually enact law is not 5 years. For those who don't live in America or flunked out of Civics we have multiple branches of government and the President in spite of popular belief cannot pass laws nor even submit a bill for consideration. So he has 72 days of real power and party backing--but we're talking about the democratic party. To quote the famous line "I'm not a member of an organized political party, I'm a democrat."
Also I feel completely within my right to blame Bush for crises which take more than 5 years to resolve. I never expected anyone to "fix" the economy after the disaster that was 2008. I didn't expect anyone to magically "fix" the middle east nor do I expect even the next president to fully fix it.
There are things that I can blame Reagan, Bush and Bill Clinton for since they're ongoing problems that they caused or failed to correct. We can blame Clinton in a large part for the DOMA. I don't blame Bush for that even though Bush had 8 years himself to deal with it.
Small pieces of debris have a considerably lower terminal velocity than an aerodynamic missile. I'm sure some larger bits would still be deadly but probably wouldn't penetrate a building.
To be clear, this isn't a Fake ID and Password. I was thrown for a moment too, since honeyaccounts are already used.
Problem #1 with a honey account is that you have to have many many many accounts to increase your odds of the attacker happening to try one of your accounts and logging in with it. Ideally you would have as many fake accounts as real ones to increase the odds of them testing a honey account early on instead of them potentially accessing dozens of accounts (which ones?) before triggering an alarm.
Problem #2 which TFA addresses is that attackers could theoretically identify the traits of a honeyaccount (weird password, no google results for name/location/email etc).
Between these two problems you might not know if an attacker is just cautiously only accessing accounts that are verifiable and real. You could have a data leak and an attacker tiptoeing around the 'laser sensors' if you will.
What this does is different. If a new user registers "John Doe" and they choose a password "JohnsYourUncle3901"
The system immediately generates several "alternative" passwords.
Now the attacker now has to brute force not one but 4 passwords to just compare them. And with a sufficiently 'smart' system of generating random passwords it should be all but impossible to identify a real password from a fake one.
You now have a second database which is simply: [John Doe GUID] | "3"
That way you know if anyone tries to use password 1,2 or 4 (or 4 - 31) the account is probably compromised. Another advantage is that instead of creating huge numbers of fake accounts you can just create huge numbers of fake passwords.
Someone recently made a very apt observation that if you knew exactly what your application would look like and could create a perfect spec for it... you would have finished programming it since that's what a perfect spec is--working code.
At some point you just have to start solving problems without any larger picture or else maintainability will be irrelevant since you'll have nothing that actually works.
That being said... sufficiently isolating every system so that as long as it exposes the same interfaces it'll work is always a good practice. I went through a large rewrite recently and was able to take one monolothic spaghetti ball and compartmentalize into granular functionality. Made maintenance a million times easier--but it was largely possible only because I had already done it once and knew exactly what blocks I needed to break out.
If they had used a browser that was less proprietary, and more standard; there would not be this problem.
Yes... in 2001 they should have supported a more standards based browser like... what exactly?
People like to rip on IE6... but IE6's competitor was Netscape Navigator 6 which was complete and utter shit. Netscape wasn't "Standards" compliant. 2001 was the wild-west of web standards. Netscape was implementing custom extensions, IE was adding custom extensions--the web standards body couldn't keep up on even agreeing on a standard themselves.
In retrospect IE6 is incompatible with web standards... but that's because those web standards were defined after IE6 was released. They were largely the result of taking the innovation that all of the browsers were creating and standardizing them.
Browsers in general in 2001 were crap. If a corporation targeted IE6 they were actually targeting a pretty good browser for the time.
What application do you use? I would think that CC's multi-threading and AE CS6's smart-cache would save at least the 45 seconds per day needed to justify the cost.
It sounds stupid but editable rounded rectangles in Photoshop are going to save me a ton of time with CC.
If the new smart roto feature works even half as well as the demo just once per year it'll save a day of tricky keying and roto which would by itself pay for it.
GPU filters should shave off at least 30 seconds of productivity every day.
I have a really hard time believing there isn't at least one feature in CS6 or CC that won't save you 30seconds per day.
Hardly. I hate adobe more than just about any company on earth. The fact that their software is the only competitive product is a source of much profanity at work.
But if someone is going to hate Adobe they should at least hate them for the right reasons and Creative Cloud is not one of them. Unstable buggy software that doesn't fit into an industry pipeline is why there should be torches and pitchforks outside their office. Their software is perfectly affordable for what it is.

It's an objective, non-subjective *FACT* that the start screen shows way more icons, and places more icons within a shorter distance of the start button than the start menu. A grid gives you 2 dimensions of applications instead of 1 dimension that means you have an objective (N^2-N) more applications quickly accessible. Microsoft actually changed my mind on this subject with two graphics:
