I think he's referring to that he CAN put it away, pull it out once a month when friends come over, turn it on, and start playing it immediately -- just like he would if it came on a physical disk. The only time it would be slower is when you first install the game, other than that, the experience would be the same. That is assuming that the games are actually run on your local box, which they may not be for the next gen consoles. They may just turn into stupid boxes that just stream h.265 video and forward your controller actions to the cloud. Then the "install" would be instantaneous as well.
So you'll buy a console from Sony, the same company that wrote a rootkit, put it on it's CDs, and told noone about it -- that not only spied on what you did, but also broke a lot of systems. Much better.
No real use in getting drives with TLER settings for a NAS as most NAS's don't use a hardware RAID controller and will happily wait for the drive to try all attempts at recovery, even if it takes two minutes.
They are definitely not legal in Illinois or Wisconsin. Motorized vehicles only, and a minimum speed of 45 I believe (and it is illegal to drive on the shoulder).
The first version of ASP (Active Server Pages) was RELEASED in 1996 after a couple years of betas, and the first version of PHP as we know it (PHP/FI 2.0) wasn't until 1997. There was "Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools)" in which PHP came from dating back to 1995, but it wasn't a stand alone language like we know it.
As someone who was actually using ASP in 1994, I can definitely say it predated PHP, even if you consider "Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools)" being announced in 1995.
.NET Framework isn't C#. It's a framework. I've never seen Mono used in a real production environment (Not that it can't be, it's just not nearly as common). I've never heard of DotGNU.
Which version of Python did you think was better than C#? The 2.x version, or the 3.x version that's mostly incompatible? Or are you using IronPython or the LLVM versions?
Because holding on to experienced knowledge workers is often the best way to achieve a better work/cost ratio than throwing away years/decades of knowledge and experience to achieve minor short term goals. Often, mistakes are very costly and reproducing them over and over because you've let the ones who already made them and learned from them leave is more costly than minor changes that produce happy employees. Seen it time and time again, and poor management that doesn't understand why they are failing even though "productivity" is up. The easy to measure productivity that doesn't include the cost of avoidable errors had they not driven good employees away.
No, but you can find a position that allows you to work on things that you think actually matter, have coworkers that aren't a drain on a project, a manager that is supportive and part of the team rather than one that views his position as a slave driver, and a work environment that sparks creativity, individualism, and a sense of teamwork. Pay is about average, time off is average, perks are average, but it does have the ability to work from home at a moments notice a dozen or so times a year.
Yeah, that's the one I referred to. It's actually a Package Manager Aggregator that uses NuGet by default (and has some APIs so it can be extended, like with Chocolatey). Unfortunately Chocolatey still doesn't have a lot of packages, but maybe we will see it turn into something. If Microsoft puts a nice GUI around it, and implements their own full package manager (or extends NuGet to handle full applications).
You think the transit providers are going to balk if our traffic merely doubles for a short period? 100Gbps isn't as big as you'd think. My client's TLD is.gov.
Just filled up yesterday, $3.99/gallon - in the Chicago suburbs, more if you fill in the city. But my car requires premium gas. No idea what the cheap stuff is, as I can't ever use it anyhow.
Elder Scrolls Online and X-Plane 10 are 80GB, GTA 5 is 65GB, Wolfenstein New Order is 60GB, but those are full installs from steam, not "patches". So a 5th large game would put you over the 300GB limit.
There is actually a ton of package managers. Chocolatey, nanite, appupdater, steam, origin client, some antivirus even include app updaters (I think avast, panda). But not a system default one. Although Nuget is a package manager (and the backbone for Chocolatey), it's not installed by default, and it's not designed for applications.
There was work on something called one-get that was a package manager aggregator as well but I don't think that made it into win 10 (have to double check).
Another exception is a client so large that they are their own ISP. I work for such a client, so I have no concerns about being asked to pack up -- I don't manage their network so I can't answer a lot of technical questions about it. Not that I couldn't understand it, just it's not part of my job and I only know enough about their implementation as it affects what I do. Last I checked (3-5 years ago), it had enough bandwidth to host 10x what youtube delivers at it's peak times. That's all I needed to know for the most part.
There was some talk about creating a package manager / Windows Store a decade+ ago, but the idea got squashed pretty quickly for fear of more FTC/EU issues, so we don't have one. They have been taking baby steps into that direction with their Windows Store and universal apps, however, so we will see how that goes. Maybe in 5 years it'll come.
As you know, "But Linux and Macs do the same thing" apparently is no defense, because "they aren't a monopoly wielding power". So you get the shaft and can't have a package manager (or a default browser, or a music player).
100 Gbps thrown at my ISP wouldn't kill them (Just double checked), but it sure would raise some eyebrows, and yeah, it probably would take down the stuff I work on -- maybe. But then again, most of those huge attacks are simple amplification type attacks, which are easily detectable and filterable. It'd hurt for about an hour, maybe less depending on how fast the traffic can be blocked. I'm more concerned about a deluge of traffic fueled by bursts of advertising. Being able to handle 1000+ simultaneous users generating 100,000+ web requests without slowing anything down than some DDoS attack from a jilted hacker group.
Smaller DDoS attacks are perfect for this type of test. I don't have a zombie bot army, so I couldn't even generate a 100Gbps DDoS if I wanted to. 1Gbps, to test a single server instance is plenty for my use cases.
Ah, apparently the C5/C6 could. The C7 can not -- tach, speed, gear, 0-60 time, g-meter, artist/track, caller id/number, navigation information, and any DIC alerts, but no gas gauge or oil pressure/temp.

They will learn the first time that they drop their device and it breaks. Or they lose it.
Probably a magnitude less than your physical disk suddenly becomes unreadable.

Hated using XBMC (Now Kodi) for multiple network devices. Have you tried PLEX? It works so much better.

And that's the really nice thing about tools like this. I don't have to guess.
Sounds like you did everything right, and your company likely had a much higher chance of succeeding because of it.
I live in the western civilization (USA), and where I work, they definitely value engineers.

You can find it. I'm there.

Here you go: http://www.watchvudu.com/uhd/ -- Walmart's streaming service.. in 4k (UHD).

So 4 patches no, but a claim of 4 games, perhaps.
You'll know they're mainstream when walmart starts stocking both the sets and movies for them.
Like: http://www.walmart.com/ip/3966... for $450 from walmart?
