It also matters at scale. If trying to build a few hundred widgets for a university campus, you need a real OS to handle manageability, as well as command and control. If it's just a dumb sensor, expect a one-way communication that may or may not exist when it falls off a wall.
The problem is that coding the rules of DnD is actually hard. WotC tried producing that with 4th edition, but failed to release a working prototype (look at the advertisements in the back an originally printed PHB). Considering the amount of DM discretion given, only DMs themselves could code all their personal house rules and additions to the core game.
As an alternative that doesn't require VR, I recommend roll20.net and optionally an external communications platform i.e. Google Hangout, Skype, IRC, email, etc. It supports multiple editions of DnD and macro support for die rolls that are a bit on the complex side.
In terms of modern android phones, only the LG G4 and the lesser known OnePlus Two still have microSD. It's a shame because marshmallow finally is treating external storage correctly instead of a red-headed stepchild.
It's interesting that they bought out another tool when they already do some of the work a configuration management tool does with their satellite server, and for a larger setup integrate/sell puppet enterprise (one of Ansible's main competitors).
Dell has a history of doing a weird/terrible job at merging in company acquisitions. I'm looking at you Compellant/Equalogic, Wyse, Force10. I suspect EMC is going to be another one of those standalone assets for some time just because at the scale EMC operates, the contractual obligations to their large customers is going to make change slow.
Looking at the storage assets alone, it's a bit strange to merge 3 competing companies together when they really havn't merged the first 2 after several years. The general vibe I've gotten from other peers is to stay away from Dell Storage with a 10ft pole, but EMC hardware was pretty good for traditional storage. When looking at the EMC storage products it's relevant to note the significant differences under the hood when it comes to VNX/VMAX/Isilon coming from the old Data General acquisition in 1999 and the new XtremIO arrays which was a totally different company until 2012.
I do look forward to them eventually gutting whatever hair-brained system manages their support system. After years of working with EMC, I'm fleeing not because they make a poor product or a person does a poor job. Rather, it's because their SR management system is horrible. I shouldn't have to keep my support district manager's cell phone handy when they decide to route my SR into oblivion. I've worked with Dell for a long time as well and at least I can generally talk to a knowledgable human being without have to go through a checklist first.
From a customer account perspective I'm also hopeful. I've had my account rep change 3 times in 2 years; none of which have actually made the trip across the US to see us face-to-face. On the other hand, recently Dell has made several relationship improvements. I actually see my dell rep and his engineer 2-3 times a year. This makes a huge difference in my opinion on the sales/account team.
As a VMware customer as well, I don't see a significant difference in what will happen. EMC has generally been hands off when it comes to steering VMware. The only real advantage I've seen them take with their ownership is getting to be the first out of the gate with new VMware features, but it's not locking others out. If EMC was to take a strong hand in steering the VMware ship VSAN would never have seen the light of day and vVols would be an EMC exclusive. Likewise form VMware's perspective EVO:RAIL wouldn't have allowed any other partners to produce solutions if they weren't trying to be neutral.
I'm hoping that Dell doesn't cannibalize or kill of the EMC Twinstrata acquisition. It will also be interesting to see what Dell does with some of the other EMC assets like RSA, Pivotal, Avamar, Data Domain, the plethora of hosting solutions, Greenplum, Mozy, Watch4Net, & Iomega.
If he's able to gain enough traction with former and future devs, it will be interesting to see how the major distros (aside form Gentoo) pick up the alternative kernel. If they can do it for HURD, then surely they can do it for other kernels as well.
Maybe, just maybe this could have worked before the era of ISP data caps, but now there is no way.
For the sake of argument, lets assume you're using the minimum requirement of 12Mb/s. Lets also assume you're on the high end of the average american household ISP data cap at around 300GB/month. This means you're getting 0.9132Mb/s of sustained usage rate all month long to fit beneath your data cap.
If you take that 300GB cap and divide it out at a rate of 12Mb/s, that means you can use their service for 2 days 7 hours 33 minutes and 20 seconds of solid gameplay. This also assumes you have zero other internet traffic the entire month and the measurements being used are 100% accurate.
If you take the lower average cap at 150 GB per month, and 1080p service plan that changes reduces your usage amount down to 6 hours and 40 minutes. I would hope that their service will default to the lowest setting possible (unlike most video streaming services), or many people will suddenly find themselves over their caps with a hefty bill.
So you're saying that being a consultant is up. Maybe that has to do with corporations restructuring to not have full-time employees, and outsource as much as possible to avoid benefit payments. Also you're saying manufacturing is down. Have you considered maybe this has do with the US patent/copyright system and that startups have to invest huge sums of money to verify the ting you want to build is vaguely related to something being held in a warchest somewhere or by a troll. Absolutely improvements in automation reduce the time to produce the same product, but somewhere somebody has to generate new product demand that doesn't own their own fabrication plants on the other side of the world.
I taught myself the basics of 3d printing without prior experience. At first I beat my head against the big name CAD tools from companies like Autodesk and Adobe, as well as opensource ones like freeCAD. I didn't need to do fancy high-detail modeling (which is hit-or-miss anyway due to printer fidelity and general hiccups in hardware). Eventually I found a free tool online at Tinkercad.com. Shortly after I started using it, it was bought out by Autodesk however they've still kept it free. It doesn't have the super advanced power of other tools, but without that power I found myself not getting lost nearly as much.
Today's media consumer wants what it wants, when it wants it, right then. This is opposite traditional cable company methodologies. It's why customer's are cutting the cord. To that end, the first service to offer the best selection will win (pricing models aside). If it takes multiple overlapping subscriptions to get the selection, customers will be forced to pick and choose or to go back to pirating. The stuff frequently pirated are the things that customers can't afford (multiple services), can't find (selection problems), or are going to have going 24/7 (kids shows and bandwidth caps). I don't blame netflix entirely though. It's a business decision to keep from raising rates. The real problem lies with the distribution points arguing unreasonable amounts of money for potentially exclusive contracts with providers like Netflix/Hulu/AmazonPrime/CrunchyRoll/etc.
I don't know how governments think they can just legislate a potential problem away when it comes to nature. The world does not have isolated bubbles when it comes to crops. Sure, you can ban the seed but that doesn't stop the change. Look at Mexico, GMO corn has been banned there for years yet they are still infected from the US. You can't control pollination.
This would be an excellent example of Mozilla not being willing to compromise their principles to satisfy the media conglomerates obsession with DRM. Sadly however, I'm not sure who would be surprised by this.
It's interesting how they see integrating legacy systems any differently integrating just as many differently implemented commercial record systems. The data integrators will make the same money either way. By abandoning the open-source solution, you're just losing the possibility others might benefit from the work. Likewise, I'm curious how much those 3 vendors have lobbied in Washington DC.
I've used ours as part of an internal innovation challenge to prototype a specialty purpose raspberry pi case we could securely mount inside a classroom that could house a touchscreen and a magstripe card swipe, but was tough enough it could be smacked with a backpack without significant damage and expose only the barest of essential external ports of the raspberry pi.
One of the challenges faced by building subterranean homes is the threat of water damage over time as the home settles. Typical solutions include lining the outside of the shell, french drains, and/or reinforced plasticized concrete. Even when thinking more inside the box with traditional building, there are significant benefits to things like healing cracked slabs or preventing basement water damage.
Net Neutrality boils down to a basic concept. Who do you trust to maintain order and prevent abuse? An industry that has demonstrated an inability to do that with itself, or a government revolving door that has demonstrated the same thing? I lean toward letting the government get their paws on it from a regulatory standpoint just because in theory it's more accountable to the people and we already know the path we're on won't end well for consumers. It's only the lesser of two evils, and admitting that once regulatory bodies get their hands into an industry rarely do they ever let that power go in the future.

The interesting question would be if you were to PGP sign+encrypt your email in the public record, could you be compelled to disclose the private key?
You say republican scam, I see corporate backup plan should one of their mutations screw the world over.

Isilon wasn't part of the Data General acquisition. It was an independent company that was acquired in 2011.
You are correct. My mistake.

How can Stagefright be uninstalled / disabled?
Buy a new phone with a version that includes the patches to begin with.
I've used ours as part of an internal innovation challenge to prototype a specialty purpose raspberry pi case we could securely mount inside a classroom that could house a touchscreen and a magstripe card swipe, but was tough enough it could be smacked with a backpack without significant damage and expose only the barest of essential external ports of the raspberry pi.
I laugh a little inside when I get email recall requests. They also make me want to read the original email more.
Per the Java support site, go here: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
They probably won't support enabling it forever, but for now it's a workaround.
