I've been buying from Zenni for about 5 years. Many pairs of glasses. Some of them are sort of cheap and others were really nice. But at those prices, who cares? I buy multiple pairs just to have variety and some fashion and I still save hundreds of dollars. And I've never had an optical formula problem with any of them, around 20 pairs.
I always thought that a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system by definition, was expected to isolate users and tasks in a way that they could not interfere with each other. That's what an OS does - provide isolation, virtualization, and security between processes so that the OS is stable, and any one badly behaved task can't interfere with either other tasks or the OS itself (subject to certain permissions).
While I applaud Microsoft's announcement, it seems to me that the need to do this shows a fundamental weakness in the their OS in the first place. It shouldn't be needed.
Perhaps they should consider raising their rates if they think things are free. That is what the fees are for. I've not heard of them, but what unlucky slobs get Frontier in their geographic area?
I believe that the pre-Microsoft Skype was encrypted peer-to-peer. WIth the Microsoft takeover and subsequent mess-ups, they have made it client-server (hence MS servers) and they can intercept all calls, including for the government. Isn't Big Brother a wonderful thing?
The tyranny of the default. He's definitely marketing. Apple's hands are far from clean, his company has horrible environmental practices in spite of their "green" marketing.
I suspect Intel went to the i3/5/7 numbering because they could not continue to raise clock speeds. The new numbering obfuscates performance. For example, I'm running an i3 desktop that while 2 core, each core is faster than many i5 single cores. That means I get great performance out of a single thread at a much lower price. It's just not as good at handling numerous simultaneous processes.
If Steve Gibson ever gets the coding completed (the spec is already public I believe) this could be a potentially good solution, not perfect but much better than SSNs.
I keep my systems at least 3 years. Although the theory is that you can swap to a better CPU I've only done this one time. Most of the time Intel deliberately continues evolving the sockets, not for any real technical reason AFAIKT, but to keep you buying those motherboards. This is one of the reasons that I don't upgrade processors very often (I skip a few generations) as the gains are small enough that it's just not worth it for the cost and hassle.
Typically the expiration date is set at the time period when the potency reaches 90% of labled. But it takes years to do the studies. Once long enough has shown reasonable stability, the manufacturer says "OK, 3 (or watever) years is good enough". And they never study the long term stability. Most drugs are very stable. That's why I never hesitate to take expired meds (aspirin, Tylenol, etc.). I'd worry if it were super critical medications, lifesaving, etc.
The difference is that Microsoft *charged* for their OS. AOSP is free. Google is staying in business by monetizing Android with a deal: "you install our apps on your phone and we will give you Google search and access to the App store". All of which cost Google money. So they need to recoup their investment somehow. Apple does it by charging high prices. Google does it by giving it away but requiring a bundle to use any of their own software components.
That's why I use stock Android on my Nexus, and my next phone will be a Pixel. It's a shame because the Samsung hardware is really nice (except the Galaxy S7 of course).
They are transparent about the Creator's Update. But they have reduced the telemetry by about half, saying that they realized they didn't find all telemetry useful. So you don't really know what they *have been* collecting prior to the Creator's Update. For all we know they've removed a bunch of more onerous details that could have *upset* us.
What a great post, I was about to post something similar. While I was generally a fan of Obama, this is one area where his administration fell down. And the big banks should have been broken up.

So much winning here.
So they have included "free ad-supported shows" for $5/month? Hmmmm.....
Don't drop "cable" from your name, drop the shit from your game.

Yes, especially Verizon is about the worst possible company you would ever want to trust on this.

A rocket that looks like a phallus sustained 10Gs in a short "spurt" of time.

I've been coming here for over 12 years. Always interesting, always insightful. We appreciate you. It's a rough world out there, sorry about the DDOS.
...and as of right now I don't see any evidence of that capability. Perhaps in a further point release?
Well you know these things happen in THREES.

Not when your entire business is IT.
Somebody in Management decided to hire a totally incompetent and unqualified CSO. Nice omission there Mr. BS CEO.

Plus all of those Samsung crap apps.

I think at this point we know we are bent over and being reamed by the three letter agencies, not to mention the ISPs.

Yes but it kind of sucked as it looked like "little Windows". The iPhone was a revolutionary new paradigm.
