Why would anybody put up with such poor technology.
Linux doesn't force you to reboot, and these days you don't have to reboot at all with kernel splicing.
On the other hand the instant you step away from your desk, Windows 10 kills your applications and reboots to install upgrades. Why does it do this in 2016?
need to know both false positive and false negative surely?
If most people don't have HIV and people without HIV are correctly told that 95% of the time, that means there are shit loads of people being incorrectly told they have HIV
I feel like a lot of mindshare moved over to XBMC. Kodi has a better user interface, but I think MythTV had a better backend.
It was always somewhat challenging to get everything working perfectly, but the ability to set up recordings on one TV (or remotely by web) and watch them on another TV was/is fantastic.
Playing music was always wierd - you needed to set up nfs mounts from the music server to play the files on your remote screens - it would make a lot of sense for them to be streamed automatically from the mythtv backend. But I get the idea that maybe some quite old protocols are in use and it would be a lot of work to change them.
Getting humans into space is ok, but we can probably get shit loads of robotic probes all over the solar system for a fraction of the cost to get 1 human to mars...
One thing that will help with humans is for us to come up with a commercial reason to have people living on the moon, as once its profitable then we'll find ourselves with a rapidly expanding colony (which will be amazing).
According to recent phoronix articles its the games not the drivers. The drivers are within a few percent, but games can end up anywhere from 30% of windows performance to parity.
Surely we shouldn't even consider sending people over until we've had self-supporting robots over them for 10+ years setting up industry or whatever's necessary to sustain life without dependence on supplies from earth.
I still have no idea why they needed to fork from debian, instead of just maintaining packages/patches required to provide a systemd alternative from within debian.
When choosing a distribution, why anybody choose a distribution whose only clear philosophy was that it is not something else? Unlike debian which is ultimate software freedom and stability or whatever.
Its worth pointing out that when you pull in a package from npm, there is no guarantee that its the package you expected to pull in. We also saw this week that the npm administrator is perfectly happy to change the package that's represented by a particular name.
This is their play to get their own app store. If they can get a 30% cut on all games involving DX14 for example (by obliging DX14 games to use their app store), then they will be raking it in. There is no way they will give up on this strategy, as the benefits are too high.
Personally I say fuck them, they shit on PC gaming with GfWL because they were focusing on xbox, so I'm glad that Steam ate their lunch while they weren't looking. To add insult to injury, there are games now that are defunct because they relied on GfWL which was then abandoned by MS.
It turns out that Gaben was right all along about the need for SteamOS.
Apple has never said that its impossible for the data to be revealed, they have just said that they refuse to assist the FBI.
But if its possible to write software to decrypt the phone's data, then its not actually cryptographically secured - or at least the key is available. In any case, if apple doesn't do this task for the FBI, NSA/CIA will do it at greater cost.

My GF watches lots of TV live - reality TV and sometimes drama. If she watches it late, then the results have been spoiled on twitter/FB etc.

62% accuracy is only a bit better than a coinflip. you will relatively often see it predict incorrectly 5 years in a row.
Just another reason never to buy a microsoft phone. I kind of feel sorry for them.
I hope no-one ever needs to call the emergency services from his establishment.
Well we've already lost an open web due to Encrypted Media Extensions. Do we even need net neutrality any more?
Why are robotic probes discredited?

The new nVidia GPUs have quite high TDP sadly... Will these new AMD ones go as low as the GTX 750 Ti? Those were great for fanless operation.
...I'll throw another $168 their way.
... but we'll send all your desktop searches to Amazon...

There are a bunch of apple apps and services supplied bundled with their phones
This nicely demonstrates the benefits of open systems, that are free of arbitrary restrictions placed to hinder competition.
The logical conclusion of your argument is to cut out the middleman you left in place by eliminating the government and funding scientists directly.

People who have been laid off as part of the elimination of a single position are going to be rather pissed off, as they got shafted.
SteamOS was necessary after all!
They have said:
> Yes, it is certainly possible to create an entirely new operating system to undermine our security features as the government wants.

I'm not having an operating system that inserts advertising into my most private device in my home.
