That will be the day I use DaaS, if you go for this replace the second 'a' with a 's' in my subject because that is what you are.
Will I guess Linux as a desktop may happen soon with this. So lets count for the future:
1. Mobile has a monthly fee with net limits
2. Monthly fee for home internet, maybe limited
3. Now a monthly fee for a PC you bought yourself
This is worse than paying taxes and all you are paying for is to allow people to spy on you. At least with Linux or a *BSD you can lockout spyware. I am sure DaaS will be so locked down even Apple will get jealous. Fun future we are heading towards, I almost miss dialup.
Charter told Ars that it plans to fight the PSC's order to sell the former Time Warner Cable system
Should charter take this to the Federal supreme court, where they will probably win, I hope NY adds a 99% revenue tax (not profit) on charter. An ACA court case seemed to say if it is a tax the state can do what it wants
I wish my state had the balls NY seem to have now in reeling in this corrupt industry/p?
Because the RSB is shared among hardware threads that execute on the same virtual processor, this pollution enables inter-process, and even inter-VM, pollution of the RSB.
Well I guess there is a reason OpenBSD folks did this:
I have been slowly evaluating the various BSDs also with the the same idea in mind. But there are a few distros that are "fighting the good fight":), but I fear that is a loosing battle. Beyond all evidence I still hope this windowization of Linux reverses or can be held off. So I want to be prepared if/when I have to move.
I will stick with my distro of choice and hope for the best:) The good news is at least my favorite distro has been successful keeping sane!
They feel threatened if they can be spied upon just by watching TV.
If I had mod points I would mod this AC up. This is the only way our Gov will protect consumers. if it impact any high ranking government official, you can bet a law will be passed in record time. It is not like we all did not know this was going on for a while.
I kind of wonder this also. I do not know how many package maintainers in ARCH or how it works, but with the amount of packages available in some distros these days I guess I should not be surprised.
Sad that distro maintainers may have to vet maintainers now, adding an additional burden. But as a user we should always be careful with non-core packages.
I am no fan of c++, and I agree it is terrible. But, creating yet a other language sounds a bit over the top.
I am convinced this is happening for one reason, companies do not want to train anyone! If they took the the time to properly train people the industry would not be in this state, now we get new methodologies and languages every other day.
When I started out, senior people spent a lot of time with me showing how I can improve my skills and how the business works. These days you are expected to muddle along hoping to learn your job. No wonder we are having large breaches and crappy software
Another language de-jour article, I remember in the early days of UNIX one of the sayings about c was something like "it expects the programmer to know what they are doing, it is in a hold-your-hand language".
Well I guess we should go back to COBOL or FORTRAN then
Many people like to blame Trump, but he is a symptom of the US Environment. When Education is constantly cut for a period of 40 years and constant hate towards educated people, this is how things end up.
On TV you see nothing but Reality Shows and shows talking about Ancient Aliens and other such things. You end you with a population that believes Science is fake and thinks Angels and other such things will come and 'save us'.
More people seem to believe in pseudoscience (wikipedia) than anything else, thus you get a Trump and I do not see that changing
I don't remember anyone forcing me to use a systemd distro.
Then I guess you do not work where I work
But with that said, to me systemd has been a big meh. Had no issues with it nor does it excite me. At home I run Slackware and I find a bit faster and easier to deal with than what I use at work and personally, prefer it over other distros.
BTW my work hardware is more beefed-up than I have at home, but none of the performance has to do with systemd but with background tasks I need to have running at work.
Even National Geographic, the MOST self-righteously environmental organization
National Geographic Magazine is now owned by Murdoch/Fox, about as far as from the environment as a company can get. BTW I let my subscription lapse after the third in a row issue with a large article about the Holy land. See
In COBOL and FORTRAN you can indeed "write once and compile/run anywhere" and have been able to do so for decades
True if you never used any vendor extensions, which on some machines were almost impossible to do.
'Modern' languages are not any better, different issue but same end result.
For example, Java "run anywhere" means you need 2 maybe 3 different interpreter versions, depending upon the application. One person has 3 different interpreters on their Windows PC.
How about releasing the source under an Open/Free Source licence so all non Microsoft/Apple OSs can use your cards. That will help a lot more people than any AI will.
I got burned once (had to buy a new video board), will never buy anything with Nvidia until the above happens
Well people who registered for github did supply some personal information, that is worth something. Plus along with that I am fairly certain by examining various repositories (including private) they can determine who are the better coders and can sell that information to head hunters.
I do not use windows at all, home or work. I read the article only once and still do not see the point.
Where I work (a large company) many people seem fine with W10 and end user support is provided by the company as opposed to Microsoft. I suspect small companies will stick with some form of windows until the hardware is replace, then move to whatever comes on the new hardware. And it seems Apple (which I never used) is shooting themselves in the foot as far as the enterprise is concerned.
I personally believe developers (small % of large companies) should be on some form of Linux, and everyone else on whatever launches excel the best.
So I think W10 is not going anywhere and with the new Linux Sub-system and what I assume maybe a future 'cloudification' push, it will be in the enterprise for quite a while. And the pencil pushers love the word 'cloud', the biggest buzz word I have seen, so I expect that alone will keep W10 around.
Now a rant -- Rebooting a router, are you serious ? Give me a break. So now all requests are routed through a FBI server ? I feel much safer now that I rebooted a stupid router. How about forcing a recall
Between this, net neutrality and the 1 trillion year copyright extensions, we will need to pay for everything, including the privilege of seeing adds and being locked into walled gardens. Nice future we are heading towards, if you are in the top 1%

can charter take this particular case to SCOTUS?
I would think so, the article states charter will be visiting the NY Supreme Court for this already. So where else would they be able to appeal to ?

EEE. They want to make Windows a Linux distro
No, MS wants to make Linux a Windows Distro, FTFY

Will be interesting on how this works out with 'big banks', COBOL, SUSE and IBM Mainframes
Well a typo, instead of " it is in a" I meant " it is NOT a". Anyway this was tongue due to "archaeology"

100 % correct except for one thing --

And I forgot to add, by owing linkedin M/S can mine quite a bit of data between that and github.

So nothing is free
