Producing content on a tablet or smartphone sucks. Anyone who predicts the death of the desktop/laptop segment either is a teenager, or is being paid to do nothing all day long. A tablet is a consumption device, and nothing they can do will change that short of adding a physical keyboard - at which point it's a laptop.
"Everything will be in the cloud" is also a farce. The only way everything can be in the cloud is if IT workers have fast universal broadband. It turns out ISPs in the US are decades behind the rest of the world, and universally fast broadband isn't accessible unless you're in a large city. Even there, the cost of a decent connection into a business is typically more expensive than just having on-premise gear and the server/client model.
You sound like a typical marketing exec who latches onto buzzwords without taking into consideration the actual nuts and bolts required to make the "cloud vision" happen. It turns out the US isn't even close to being ready, and they sure as shit won't be 1 year from now. 100mbit broadband to the home universally will the be minimum starting point. That's at BEST a decade away.
In a deal this size there's absolutely no way Cisco's team went through each location to size the routers. At some point you expect the customer to have a clue. Government institutions pretty much universally put out an RFP in this type of situation giving specs of the hardware they need, then ask vendors to build a quote around it.
Except for the part where I didn't mean it was LITERALLY rsync with a GUI. It provides the same functionality (make that slightly less functionality) with a pretty GUI over the top.
IE had horrible issues with picking up viruses, and Microsoft let the application fester in it's own filth. Eventually it got to the point you couldn't browse the web with IE and not get a virus - "power user" or not. So Mozilla started picking up steam - then they added extensions which brought all this cool new functionality, and suddenly it caught on.
And if you're going into combat with a homemade lower receiver as your only form of defense you're an idiot. Was there a point you were trying to make?
This is an ar15 lower. What do you think is going to happen? It's not like he's printing barrels that could explode and kill you. If the lower cracks or outright falls apart, you just can't use it anymore, you aren't getting seriously injured.
If it takes you a day to setup a linux box, you have no idea what you're doing. 20 minutes with kickstart *ONE TIME* will get you a repeatable install that you can re-use indefinitely. Restoring from a backup should be identical on either platform - timemachine isn't some magical and new thing. It's called a GUI over the top of rsync.
Google provides 1gbit speeds in Kansas City. Why should they be limited because you don't personally have a use for it? That's like saying nobody should have an electric service run to their house because you happen to have solar panels...
The beginning and end of the reason Social Security is at all broken is due to the cap. You don't pay in a penny over ~$110k in income. That means as more and more money is concentrated into the top 1%, less and less is being put into social security. The entirety of the US's financial woes go back to the same issue: our tax system is designed to give massive breaks to those with the most money, meaning there isn't enough left over to take care of everyone else. Period. End of story.
I wouldn't go that far. The journalist in question resigned over CBS's refusal to allow him to issue his best of show. What more did you expect him to do? It's not like he can force them to publish his choice...
The best feature of the password is that it's in your head. You carry it around everywhere, and it can never be physically taken from you.
This proposed plan just makes cellphones that much more attractive to steal.
I dont know about that. There are plenty of people who suffer memory loss after a head injury. Quite frankly that's one of my biggest fears. Forgetting my passwords if I'm involved in an accident of some sort.
In other news, who cares? It was an amazing moment in history. Why on earth are people still quibbling over the *EXACT* thing he said? Who *REALLY* cares if he messed it up live? The point was the same whether he missed an A or not.
No, ANY company that hires a lot of low-level workers will not. Case in point - Costco. Case in point - Target. Walmart is simply bilking the US political system for their own gain. It's an unsustainable house of cards.
You're assuming Target and Costco have higher wages as a result of competition which is patently false. The only one failing to understand how it works is you. Wall street has been begging both companies to cut wages for years because they very easily could. They've told wall street to fuck off because they realize it's harmful to their long-term success. All lower wages will do is shrink their pool of customers.
But thanks for the armchair expert analysis without bothering to look at the foundations of either company.
*lots of people in china, and/or lots of store level workers that receive such a low wage that we are subsidizing Walmart's workforce through welfare. In turn, those people would be forced to find a new job working at another retailer who would pick up the slack but actually pays a decent living wage. Like Costco or Target. OH, THE HORROR!
With absolutely no idea what the long-term health effects are going to be from human consumption of a modified genetic animal, they're just going to say go for it?? Given that they can't even reliably certify birth control pills... I'm wondering how they could possibly allow for such a significant change to take place. This is the sort of thing you can never take back...
And given how we're now finding out the honey bee collapse syndrome is a direct result of the Monsanto creations... how can we be certain this won't have much further reaching repercussions?
Again, how is any company going to afford a mainframe when they CAN'T SELL ANYTHING? If your argument is that people will just drop the price of goods, they'll have to lay more people off to accomplish that, further drying up their own market for goods. Pushing employment to a cheaper land only works for so long until you've sufficiently drained the economy you're attempting to sell into of all available funds.
I don't think you understand. What business is going to be able to afford IBM's computers? Who are those businesses going to sell their wares to when everyone is making $17,000/year? Expendable income will essentially drop to nothing with wages that low.
Because the article is talking about gamers. And while Steam is in the process of making a valiant effort, gaming on Linux sucks. You can get some stuff to work with WINE but the overall experience is something I would rate along the lines of a root canal.
"Lots of" and "mainly" are two very different things. Were there "lots of" pirated files? I'm sure there were, they had PETABYTES of storage and tens of thousands of users - there was no possible way they could stop everything. It's no different than the question of whether or not google links to "lots of" pirated material. Was it "mainly" (as in > and arbitrary percent like 80%) pirated files? Doubtful, but we don't know for sure, because the government decided to lock everything down. According to megaupload they were MAINLY legitimate files, and when there was piracy they took stuff down. According to the government they were 99% pirated material. Reality is somewhere in the middle.
At the end of the day, the entire reason they were raided is because Kim Dotcom was planning on starting his own music label, and actually had big artists signed on. The RIAA/MAFIAA didn't like that, because it would've cut them out of being the middle man, and so they went for the jugular.

Part of the capital was a grant. Government is generally use-it or lose-it so I strongly doubt they had the option of waiting.

Except that they DID buy the people, and they only have a licensing agreement for the patents.

Nope. If they did the paparazzi wouldn't exist.
Simply posting a video online is not cyber bullying. There's this little detail you left out called intent.

Or not.
