Take a look at what Amazon is doing with AWS as an example and you will see there's real truth in that statement.
Back in 95 / 97 Windows was trying to claim that NT was 'The backbone of the Internet' when the Internet had been around some 30 years prior to Windows ever getting a TCP/IP stack.
Just because your view of the Internet has been through a windows machine with the popularity of the world wide web, doesn't mean all these Internet services are provided by Windows machines, which very bluntly, suck terribly at serving web pages much less anything else.
I have been testing Korora Linux as an alternative to Windows 10. Whether it's evil or not I have absolutely no trust in Microsoft whatsoever. It is what it is.
And Slashdot will defend China because most of the users here inexplicably hate the US.
That's bullshit. American/.ers hate either American big business (aka wallstreet) or they hate the American government (aka mainstreet). Some/.ers hate both. This is no different than the rest of America. In China they are basically the same thing, so you're just wrong.
Canadians do not dislike or hate Americans!!! We have a Bernie Sanders mindset, and want to see a more equitable society. And we enjoy watching Trump, Hillary, Bernie, and the others who we find clueless.
Anyone running for president should have been a tourist in the various countries in Europe and Latin America. They will discover how well the poor in those countries live, versus the poor in America.
I think that would be manipulating the market for profit and I believe it's illegal... not sure maybe someone else can chime in
You may be right, if tomorrow, following that industry response, the market price of Apple drops and he immediately buys back in.
Or, the handwriting is on the wall, the market for smart phones is filled, Future sales will be replacement units for ones that have failed. Even further, when the governments worldwide stipulate that the battery must be replaceable without distroying the phone, the next drop in sales will follow.
In my view, Android will win the entire market place, or the operating system from Samsung.
My gun is designed to be carried 'cocked and locked', you insensitive clod!
It does have more safeties than are actually even necessary, though, and one of them is a common point of failure, so the rush towards additional safeties has already made my firearm less reliable.
And you did not mention that it is kept away from the kids.
When I pull the trigger I want it to go "bang" instead of displaying a "low battery" message.
No thanks.
I am grateful that I live in a peaceful country that does not require me to keep a handgun or machine gun at home for defence. In fact we don't have the right to have handguns, unless we are in an employment situation that requires one or can justify owning one. Hunting rifle ownership is permitted, if the owner has a license. (Hopefully, the license for the gun will include the providing of a sample fired bullet and shell.)
this is corruption, pure and simple, and can happen even in the smallest of governments.
please explain why you think 'size matters' (ahem..) in this kind of situation.
human psychology kicks in, here. humans love to control and manipulate each other. stanford prisoner experiment and all that. this is what happens when you give unlimited power to ANY kind of authority figure; large, small, doesn't matter.
this is why checks and balances are so important.
sadly, we threw out the balance and we only have the check left....
Maybe its time for a 199,000 Americans to load up their emails with encrypted data. And for them to use words such as this attached file is safe and not inflamatory.
Overload the FBI Scanners with a few hundred emails that will keep the FBI systems busy for years.
I cannot fathom a reason I'd use Bing. It's a second rate search engine.
I will, however, shut down Cortana and save a few cycles.
I can't fathom why you use Windows? I use wps and soft focus, two choices that are compatible alternatives to MS Office. I can use them on the mac, linux, and if I am feeling dumb, on windows 10.
why else would you use Windows 10? Is it for paying extra for anti-virus software, for Trojans that want you to pay and pay for use without adverts? I'll stick to Linux.
I had 5 HP PCs, purchased over different years. All died just after the guarantee expired. Mostly, the power supply. But to obtain compact size, the PS had to be long and thin, and propitiatory. What we did was pull the hard disk, cpu and ram, and (if there was a DVD player), buy a better mother board and rebuild the system using off-the-shelf items.
HP product reliability is "value engineered". That is, it is designed to last the guarantee period and not much more. I have a fear of purchasing any other HP products. Perhaps it was done that way in the 2000-2005 period. Hopefully HP does now make a better quality product.
If such an attack was made against the USA, it would have to be where the head of the military are based. No leaders around would mean, victory is eminent. Cutting off the head leaves the body alive long enough to be taken and destroyed. Make sure you don't choose to domicile close to any Military headquarters (White House, for example).
"Apple's core customer base is interested in fashion accessories and status symbols". Not really, I work in science and we're filthy with Macs and iPhone and iPads, this is not status conscious community. They use the devices because they need to get work done. I recall one fellow finally making the switch from Winders to Mac, his comment to me was, "I feel like I own my computer again". I'm not entirely sure what MS is doing to their clientele, but that sentiment seems rife among scientists.
I have a pension. I don't work. But I spend, I do community service, and I blog responses to/. I have public medicare which covers doctors, hospitals, medications If my basic income is too low, I would find some supplemental work.
One advantage of a basic income, is that I can do the software engineering that I always dreamed of doing when I was working, and had no time for it. Imagine the inventions or discoveries you could make if your basic income allowed you to become a full-time inventor or researcher.
We still need capitalism to take the ideas and to bring them to fruition
Unless it breaks, I see no reason to replace my phone.
Planned obsolescence, non replaceable batteries die in the 4th year. Give me me back a device with an easily replaceable battery. With that model, I could get 10 years or more from suca a device
Let's assume it does cost that much. Suppose I'm a minister of a health department, and I have 10 million to spend on medication for 10.000 patients. I can treat them all with vaccines, antibiotics, and set broken bones for that amount, or I can provide therapy for one patient... I'm afraid that one patient will have to go elsewhere.
As long as the medical companies are racking up profits to the tune of 1000% on medication, there will NEVER be a budget that can buy all the medication a population needs. Since each company will charge "what the market will bear" the combined effect is more than the market can actually bear. And thus people die.
I guess you would have to get affordble treatment outsideof the USA (Europe,Israel, Russia, Canada, etc)
I presume that authentication would mean plugging in the both ends of the USB cable into a test device which has a light per cable. If there was any cross wiring, open wire or short, the cable would be rejected.
I am not sure that measurements would include frequency response (capacitance leakages).
These days it is patronizing but back then I imagine it was fairly remarkable but, maybe not. Looking into this, many of the "computers" back then were women. What I do find slightly offensive is the notion that she was "black". The woman appears more caucasian than african but our society treats anyone with even a smattering of african blood as "black". This strikes me as deeply racist.
The only vestiges of racism, eg, Black vs White vs Asian vs native American is with the USA. The rest of the north/south American continent sees some wonderful humans and even family. I look at friends as people who are kind, generous, helpful, and with good humour. My friends and I see no colour.
The problem with LInux is the shitty office tools. LibreOffice is definitely no match for MS Office. I tried to write a document with the former and LOwriter would shift images, one over the other. would do things that made it cumbersome to use. The frustration I had with LO was horrendous. It was like moving backwards to standard transmission.
It did have some good points. If you document was super simple, just text, with perhaps full width tables, then it was OK to print acceptably (physical print and as pdf). If you had screen shots, then it would go into the middle of the paragraph, instead of moving the paragraph down. Saving a writer (odt) document would result in your cursor and screen being relocated to Gd knows were in the document. If you want Linux to take over Windows on the desktop, the office product and tools are important. Gnome is one of the culprits in this. Gnome, eg, Nautilus, went from simple and easy to use to now requiring a preponderance of mouse clicks in order to get anything done. Its a shame.
I suppose the randomizing algorithm would take into account the number of people in the QUEUEs. If there were only two individuals, whats the point, unless one of them was you.
How the hell is it "bigotry"? Most software UI design/development is done by people in their 20s and early 30s. You know, people born after 1980. By definition they're part of the Millennial Generation, hence it's perfectly correct and acceptable to refer to them as "Millennials". And nearly all of those people do subscribe to the "Hipster" way of life. One of the core tenets of the "Hipster" philosophy is putting design above utility, which is exactly what we do see. When a group of people do something wrong, and they're part of well defined groups (like "Millennials" and "Hipsters"), it's not "bigotry" to point out that they've screwed up!
One example about putting design over utility is gnome's nautilus. Where in the past I could do some action with one and sometimes two clicks of the mouse, now it requires up to five. Pathetic! I also started getting carpal tunnel pain with my ligaments controlling my right hand fore-finger. Ergonomics and utility over OO design. The design of interface software to match the limitations of the underlying APIs is a good explanation of why the Gnome interface is the pits
One interesting thing we're now seeing is how a lot of software is getting worse. This includes not only commercial software like Windows 8 (and 10, to some extent), but also a lot of open source software. Firefox, GNOME 3, systemd and the Slashdot Beta site are good examples of how inferior software is being forced on users, without any benefit in quality, price, capability, or any other traditional metric.
Something else that's interesting about this situation is how it is being driven by hipsters/Millennials. In the past, technical changes would have to be backed up with a strong technical argument. A change just wouldn't happen if it didn't bring some important benefit to the users. But hipsters/Millennials have taken a different approach. They tend to ram through changes, "justifying" the changes by pretty much just telling the users that they are "wrong" when they object to such changes because such changes don't bring any benefit.
Firefox is perhaps the best example of unwanted changes being forced upon unwilling users. Nearly every release of Firefox features some unnecessary UI change that reduces its usability, or the removal of useful configuration options, or the addition of unwanted functionality (like Pocket and Hello), or even the inclusion of ads that are built into the browser itself. Now we're hearing that Firefox will be switching to a Chrome-like extension model, which will no doubt break many existing extensions. When the users of Firefox scream in pain, "No! We do not want these changes!", the Firefox developers ignore their pleas and force the changes on the few remaining Firefox users anyway. After being treated so poorly, we've seen many Firefox users flee to alternate browsers, leaving Firefox with only about 7% of the market.
All of this is contrary to what we'd expect to be seeing, and what we in fact did see for many years. From the advent of computing up until around 2005, when hipsters/Millennials started getting involved with industry, we did see continual improvement. Software would get better as it aged, as is developers learned more about what users actually needed, and what techniques worked best. Then the hipsters/Millennials came along, chose to ignore all of this accumulated knowledge, and in just a few short years they have trashed so much software and ruined the experience for so many users.
We can only hope that the generation that comes after the hipsters/Millennials will be able to undo all of the damage the hipsters/Millennials have caused. This is unfortunate, because instead of this subsequent generation being able to improve things, they will just waste their effort bringing us back to where we were in 2005. So not only do we have to contend with the wasted generation that the hipsters/Millennials are responsible for, we'll also have to contend with the waste they forced on the next generation(s)! The saddest part is that it's all so unnecessary.
I too, raised concerns to "Red Hat about the "tinkering" that they do within Gnome, and how they break existing functionality, even in Linux. I left off using Gnome for xfce. I also moved to using Scientific Linux, as their concentration is "if it's not broken, leave it alone".
Of course, the majority of the population speaks English fluently
You've only been in Montreal, I assume. Nowhere near the majority of the population speaks English fluently in the rest of the province.
The new generation of Quebecers are fluent in English and fully bi-lingual. They know that they are in the new era, where, if the job is not in your back yard, that you go to where the jobs are located. Most have a minimum of one year of university. Others have university or a "professional" vocational trade. Inter-marriage (English with French) results in bilingual households where one parent speaks to the kids in his/her mother tongue, and the other in their mother tongue.
This is true and also a concern - it's one of the reasons I opened the thread - I'm off to bed soon. But, yes...
Or, rather, no... No, I don't think that this poll is accurate. Trump actually has a number of proponents in the IT industry. They're in that camp for varied reasons but they exist and I'm pretty sure that the numbers are higher than this poll would have you believe. I'm also a bit squirrelly about the number that they have come up with.
In this thread, we'll find more than 14 people who SUPPORT Trump, never mind being willing to move to Canada. I'm too lazy to look but I bet this survey was written to get one type of response, to be manipulated, or to get partial results.
"How likely are you to be willing to emigrate to Canada if Trump is elected president:
0 --- 1 --- 2 --- 3 --- 4 --- 5 With zero meaning that there's no possible way they're going to move to Canada to 5 being very likely to seek a visa.
Now, anybody who answered a number greater than zero is counted in this poll and that's where they got the 84% from - I suspect. It's standard practice. It's also a trick question - few people want to answer in a negative fashion. People are gullible and swallow it all the time. They may also take results from one question and add them in with the first - again being careful about verbiage.
If you give me a few days and a bunch of resources, I could poll the average American and come back with "Stalin was a great man - according to 87% of people in the garments industry."
No, Canada is the prototype that Sanders wants to see implemented. Single payer Healthcare system (Healthcare is a right, not a privilege or option). Ditto for prescription drugs. Access to your choice of doctor, specialist, and specialist's hospital affiliation.
Re Education, its between $200-400/semester per course. ($2k / 12mo) Your fees do not finance NFL style football stadiums, building mortgages or outrageous compensations for chairpersons. First year University is is done in community college at most minimal cost, as continuation to high school. A bachelor degree is typically 3 years of further study. You can afford university and healthcare and prescription medication. We are a "no gun" country, multi-cultural, and proud of what we have.
