It's been a red herring since the introduction of the myth and remains a red herring until this day. Microsoft products are simply insecure because they're closed source and suffer from a lack of interest in fixing the issues.
Linux and Mac have been making great strides on a much larger number of platforms, most computers these days don't even run Microsoft products anymore but a variation of Linux (servers, 99% of non-Apple ARM devices) or BSD (all Apple products, servers responsible for the infrastructure of the Internet) WITHOUT any virus scanners. You can't even get a Windows computer on the net without a virus scanner, it will be exploited before you can apply the latest patches.
If they got such problem with peering, maybe instead of streaming, they should keep the stuff within the networks. How many people aren't simultaneously streaming the 'popular' stuff. They're already maintaining a cache of ~512MB-2GB and Silverlight uses another 1GB of RAM. They can simply use h264/VP9 and give people that want to run 'supernodes' on their connection a discount.
I think he was talking about coops and allowing local governments to control access to the lines. You know, like telephone and electricity. Currently the content providers/ISP's own the lines, the terminal end and the peering end and has successfully litigated against both government and coop business to take control over the tax funded lines.
UPS/FedEx have efficient routing because of hand-tuned algorithms. Whether it's your car or your house doesn't matter, they can reschedule your package to be delivered to your house, your work or any other location in a matter of minutes. Your car's location would just be on their grid and scheduled accordingly - it would require them to know your car's location whether that is at your house, your job or at your mistress' house.
It's a business model. Spend war money to train terrorists, then ask for and spend more war money to eradicate terrorists in a way that breeds more terrorists. Vicious cycle, more money gets perpetually sent towards the businesses that profit from war.
Time Warner owns Time Warner Cable and CNN/NBA/HBO and an entire list of premium services. Comcast only owns NBC/NHL/MLB so nothing worthwhile (unless anyone still cares about Jay Leno)
The merger won't actually solve anything. The fight has historically always been with Disney and Viacom but neither of those companies own any media distribution companies worth noting but they know they can rely on the cable companies to give them more money when they ask for it.
Running DC through a speaker is practically impossible with any halfway decent implemented amp (even the all-in-one chips you buy for these purposes have such protection). Good individual speakers will have a protection circuit as well. Heck, a simple condenser would do the trick (given these tin sheets don't produce any worthwhile sound anyway). This is simply an issue of using sub-par speakers, mismatched to the power output of the miniature amp, not enough cooling for the amp (depending on what the issue is) or using a sub-par design to drive the speakers.
This is Windows, any application has direct access to the hardware if it so wishes. Although I agree with you given the architecture of VLC and the fact that even square waves shouldn't blow the speaker.
A hosting company that mainly hosts spam sites. Together with their parent company they have large swathes of bots on various small/26 IP ranges registered to them which seems intended to be to prevent other companies from easily blocking a large IP range.
It's not really the wait time, it's mostly that almost all shipping is free. Where regular Amazon users generally pay a few bucks in shipping per order (yes, there are free 3-5 day shipping items but not everything is), Prime users don't pay anything at all AND they get a 2 day delivery. I order just about anything for my office from Amazon, the Prime cost is recouped in less than a month.
The city here doesn't even plow or salt for 2 inches of snow. We've been having 2 inches of snow almost on a daily basis all winter, some days we have had 18 inches and still the city doesn't come to a standstill, there are no snow days at work even though there was a state of emergency and the city didn't start plowing until 8am.
Meh, the same happens between Office for Mac and Office for Windows though. Especially now with Office being online, the rendering online will be different again.
Even windows wouldn't be here (or at least not on the Internet) if not for open source. BSD/SystemV is not just the base for OSX but also large parts of VMS and subsequently NT as well as the BSD TCP/IP stack and the POSIX layer within NT.
I can have a partner and several other partners at the same time, I don't have to be a prick for it, just a nice guy with common interests in a women-dominated pool.
Most drives are actually going to spin for 7y+. There is an expected annual failure rate which varies depending on the study from 2%-12%. 25% is indeed excessive and I think they might have just gotten a bad batch or a bad type of drive (eg. DeathStar).
However, there is physically no difference in the construction of enterprise and consumer drives. They look identical, they have identical failure rates. The only difference (sometimes) being the chips for the interface and the advantages that things like SAS or FC bring (multi-host access, SCSI reservation, simultaneous read and write access).
Please do read up on ECC and disk error rates. Check out why ZFS uses an internal checksum and doesn't rely on ECC (or why Backblaze or anyone that cares about their data doesn't)
The "Windows key" location existed before on other systems, it was called the "meta" key. Apple had the Apple logo in that place, Sun keyboards had the diamond logo, even the Symbolics machines had the key well before Microsoft even talked about ripping off DOS.
It's a 32-bit UEFI, you just can't make a 32-bit low-level chip like that into a 64-bit chip. And it's only the first Xeon Mac Pro's and Xserve machines - those things are almost 10 years old.
Microsoft also releases updates only when necessary, the problem is that every Tuesday it's necessary to update your Windows computer. BTW: Solaris boxes regularly have uptime well over 400 days and need one or two patches once every couple of months, even though they run mission-critical and high-profile systems, well-designed systems simply don't require an inordinate amount of management.
Lol, these contractor companies like Accenture will basically hire the same people because those people are available at the lowest rate possible. Contracting companies like this are what give the industry as a whole a bad name. You shouldn't expect to have to deal with this crap if you actually did what all the banks and insurance companies, heck even parts of other state and federal departments which have been doing this kind of stuff for years - keep it in-house, fire those people that don't work out.
Currently the highest cost of the car is the design and the people behind it. There have only been maybe 5000 of them made and the development is at what now over 5 years? Paying 10 executives and 100's of designers and engineers (these aren't minimum wage line jobs) in one of the most expensive parts of the country for 5 years. Plus they have a bunch of things that they have invested in way in the beginning that didn't work on. I can remember them licensing Honda for the batteries and Lotus for their Elise design both of which basically weren't good enough for their requirements.
Actually, it's not at all hard to get. Once you crack open the case, they are very generic stuff sourced from either GE or Honeywell (for the older stuff) or some Chinese company. Alarm motion sensors are simply overpriced ($100+) IR switches that also trigger your garden variety backyard light which can be had for $10 or less. Door and window sensors are simply reed switches usually with a 10k resistor in parallel.

Or Office365 where they just ignore standards all together and hold your documents hostage until you pay more and more each year.

Just get a job at the facility and you don't even trip an alarm for your trouble.
