"It is quite interesting how Microsoft isn't letting users go back to Windows 10 S from Windows 10 Pro without having to completely reset their devices".
Makes perfect sense to me. 10S is locked to the windows store, so who knows what sort of crap you might have installed on there before reverting to Win10. A full reinstall is really the only way to ensure that you dont have any lingering shit.
... of this "earned" money is still in the company? I would be interested to see the take home pay (and shareholder drawings) of the shysters, I mean directors, who run this company.
haha, yeah, I made a comment once (a long time ago) and got massively downvoted. My karma has never recovered (wait! its not Terrible anymore, but Bad - I guess that's an improvement?)
Microsoft's acquisition of Xamarin is more about enhancing the market share of the toolsets than "giving up" on Windows.
Compiling for Windows is ridiculously easy with Xamarin, and with the acquisition I can see them enhancing the toolset for Android and iOS to make this easier than it is now.
I believe that this is more about making SQL Server skills (programming, not administration) more compatible across platforms, which enables people to learn one technology and move platforms easier.
P.S. Whoever modded my initial post as "troll" obviously doesn't understand the truth buried within my snarky statement: Code reviews don't ensure quality.
I'd mod you back up, but someone did the same to me about a year ago, and my Karma never recovered:(
I guess, for me, forcing me to use ANOTHER email address wont work. If you force everyone to have a new email address on a generic domain then a number of things happen:
1) all the "nice" addresses get used up quickly. How many Frank Smiths of the world can have frank.smith@usa.phone? one. that's how many. How many Frank Smiths are in the world? I don't know, but its more than one. 2) because of 1) above, you end up with frank.smith@usa.phone, frank_smith@usa.phone, franksmith@usa.phone, franksmith13453@usa.phone. I want to call frank smith - which one do I call? I already have franks email, but that wont help me under your scenario. 3) people go off the idea of a central register because they don't want another email address. I already have 3 regularly used email addresses, I don't want another one just so people can call me. Use one of my existing ones please.
I guess the point is, that due to licencing issues, you are not paying for the SAME content in different regions.
For instance: In New Zealand Breaking Bad is not available as someone else (TVNZ?) has the rights to it. If I VPN to the US, Breaking bad is available.
How are you planning to keep the frozen foods frozen?
As a resident of Christchurch (New Zealand), parts of the city didnt get power back for weeks after the 2011 earthquake, so frozen food was next to useless even if you could get back into your residence.
We had come contractors in Vietnam, and when we fired them, we asked for our test devices back.
I opened the box, looked at the 2 x iPhones and immediately said "those are fake". My coworkers didn't believe me until they went to the "App Store" and ended up at the Google Play store.
They were incredibly realistic, with only small differences in the fonts used and "feel" of the OS. If you had not used an iPhone before, i can see how you would have been sucked in. The hardware looked to be authentic, but re-purposed somehow with Android running.

product keys "known to have been stolen" from Microsoft's supply chain
Even if they know the authorized licensee, they don't know who is using the keys thousands of times
There is no authorized licensee - they were stolen. Because they don't know who stole them, they are asking for the subpoena.
You are correct, I have been limited to 2 posts in a 24 hour period since this: http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
I made 2 comments, both got modded Troll. Go me.
It seems with my upgrade to "Bad" Karma, I can post more again (which is both a blessing and a curse).
You are doing it wrong. So, so wrong.
I have worked on SQL server instances with around 100Gb of data and we never have deadlocks: performance is great.
Give SQL a fast disk, a metric ton of memory, and some performance tuning and its sweet.

Looking at the map, it looks like they made a pretty effective moat (except for that pesky road).
All they need to repel invaders is some catapults!
What sort of mansion do you live in???
... why do they care?
Repeat sales? How many thermostat controllers do you need?
Why is "timothy" the author of ALL articles on the front page right now?
Actually, they are very similar...

They still do this in Argentina (at least, on the Santiago -> Cordoba flight, they do).

Must be from Canada...
This is how science works. They work out how to do this, and they start applying this to other (larger) problems.
They build on these things over time, and eventually there is commercial application.

Why would I want another email address? I have a whole domain to use!
There is no good reason to force people onto a particular domain. All that needs to happen is that the user registers their email address of choice.

... it would be fine.
But it doesn't.
it downloads somewhere between 3-6Gb, reboots about 4 times, then says "Oh oh, something went wrong". And then rolls back.
Over and over and over again.
Let me turn this shit off.
In Christchurch we had a 6 storey building collapse. Not technically a "skyscraper", but whatever.
We have fairly tight building regulations (known earthquake area), so it came as a bit of a surprise.
Turns out that the engineer was inept.
Don't be surprised if this happens in other areas.
