Plenty of places really really want to have a standard build of windows on all their servers without exception.
Oh, I am SURE the Computer Priesthood will absolutely LOVE this! All the insecurity of Windows with all the Obscurity of Linux, rolled into one hard-to-troubleshoot package; yay!!!!
I'll Tell you what else increase your attack surface: Turning the computer on.
Didn't RTFA (naturally!), but the summary fails to convince me that this is more than incrementally worse than running...well...MOST applications that do anything useful on Windows.
True enough; but there "Increments" come in all sizes, shapes and forms.
If history has anything to inform us with here, it is that Microsoft is REALLY bad at securing inter-process communication. (e.g. Windows Shatter Attack?). And this looks to be one HONKIN' huge inter-process conduit...
She crossed me once in the worst way--by spouting stupidity and incorrect information--so I'm temporarily amusing myself by reminding everyone she's a cunt every time she gets a little cunty.
To me, you just sound like a Microsoft Shill who is all butthurt because BarbaraHudson called this so-called "LinuxonWindows" (LoW) out for the cruel joke that it is.
Only freetards insist on calling it GNU/anything. Bet you won't be calling it Oracle/Gnu/Linux if it has mysql or openoffice or Java installed. Same as you won't call it Adobe/windows if it has photoshop installed.
So, isn't OS X/macOS much closer to a "Linux hybrid" than this is? I know that macOS is not built on a Linux Kernel; but as far as being something other than just the smoke-and-mirrors thing that this appears to be, isn't macOS MUCH closer to the "heart of Linux" than this "Inverse WINE" clusterfuck?
Because the deaths involving spoons are rare, and the number of non-fatal uses of spoons are in the trillions, if not more.
Well, if we were to ban spoons, then heroin and other injectable-drug addicts wouldn't have anything to cook their drugs in, thus saving thousands of lives per year from death from overdose.
The Germans managed to get ballistic missiles working, 70 years ago. All the plans and instructions are available. That's not too hard, if you have the money and desire.
I for one can't wait to see how our language evolves with emojis. Smiley face, wink, smiling turd.
When Craig Federighi of Apple was showing-off the ridiculous amount of non-textual SMS enhancements in iOS 10 (and macOS Sierra?) during the 2016 WWDC Keynote (at Time-Index 1:26:06), one of which allows for easy substitution of Emojii in a Text Msg, he half-jokingly quipped something like "Children of the Next generation aren't going to have any idea about the English Language."
I'll bet he got called on the carpet for that afterward; but he's right.
quantrics started this crap (technically socci too), then companies like Target, Ralphs, and Best Buy decided to bring it in house and make it proprietary, literally bankrupting them overnight.
Better yet, don't mess with the IOC. Just avoid the olympics entirely. Then we'll see how quickly they realize the stupidity of their decisions. Maybe.
Exactly. Don't boycott the Olympics; simply IGNORE them.
So my galaxy 7 doesn't have the iris scanner. So Now I must take it out on the driveway and stomp on it and go spend another 650 enslave myself to another 2 year contract so I can have the Iris scanner. March on Consumer Bot to the land of planned obsolescence. I don't think I'll drink the kool-aid anymore.
Remember, this is the company that created over FIFTY "new" phone models in ONE YEAR, FFS!!!
So, just wait another few microseconds, and it will be superceded with an even more newer-est model...
Screw having to try and pass a law that requires people to scan their eyes and have them documented, we'll just include them on phones and people will use them as a cool feature!
I'm sure in their terms of use they're allowed to store your retina scan, but promise not to do even with it, even though nothing legally stops them.
Exactly.
Remember, this is the same company that thought it was a great idea to have your TV spy on your household 24/7 JUST like in "1984", then send all that data to the Ministry of Truth (a/k/a Samsung).
It's be more ridiculous if they indicated their geostationary satellite would hover over Pyongyang at an altitude of 200 km to reduce latency. That'd be ridiculous. But it's not so hard to get payload in orbit, even high orbit.
But so far, they don't even seem to be able to successfully test a ballistic missile; so although you classify it as "not so hard", apparently it is too hard for the NK at this point.
It's an iOS only thing. Doesn't include MacOS, WatchOS or TVOS.
I understand WatchOS and TVOS not being included, since they are, in large part, iOS; but not having a separate bounty for macOS seems kind of odd. Anyone care to elaborate on why that might be?
Read what I have written it is very simple. Semiconductors behave differently when hot and that sometimes leads to failure. There is a lot of heat input from the mechanical side of the drives. If it can't be transferred away you get hot electronics no matter what you do on the electronic side.
Does that make sense yet?
I designed DC motor drives for a living (including some battery drives); so I grok thermal transfer, ok? But I also still stand by what my boss told me. Not only was he a good Electrical Engineer, but he was a Physicist, too; which, IMHO, gave him a deeper insight into a LOT of things than most engineering PHBs.
Take a look at charts for semiconductor resistance versus temperature from a first year engineering materials science text to get a greater insight than the one you described above.
What? Are you concerned with Thermal Runaway? In digital circuitry, or even analog circuitry employing silicon semiconductors with temperature-compensating biasing circuitry?
HGST come from the merger of Hitachi and IBM storage divisions. The HGST Deskstar comes from the IBM side and the Deskstar 75GXP model was notorious as the "Deathstar" for failures.
And then they obviously got their shit together...

I highly doubt malware will target this.
Funniest thing I've read all day!
They have a hypervisor. It is called Hyper-V if you care and supported Ubuntu for awhile now.
Yep, and it has since it was called VirtualPC before they bought it from Connectix.
The question is, why, oh, why didn't they just USE VPC/Hyper-V to do this, rather than create some creaky, leaky SHIM?

9 commas, and maybe one used correctly? Just remove that key from your keyboard - you don't deserve it.
Perhaps English isn't the AC's first language, eh?

So in other words, our (and your children's) personal data is in the hands of cons, criminals and scam artists. Gee, what a comforting thought.
And some of them don't even work for the Government!

Great! I hope this company soon follows suit.
It's the only way to be sure.

So instead of having a shared family phone, we'd have to buy one for every member. Great for Samsung, but bad for me, so then bad for Samsung.
I thought that was a pretty stupid move, too.
You need to cleanly scoop around the eyeball,
Making sure that you don't get the eyeball and the brain mixed up.
Who cares? I'm sure the person with a spoon-removed eye would rather be dead anyway.
until Apple invents this technology and releases the first smartphone with an iris scanner in 2018
If you are referring to a company copying another's invention, I think that Samsung already won the "prize" for that...
wink wink
That was exactly my thought, since I have worn glasses since the third grade.
I would hate to have to raise my glasses everytime I wanted to unlock my phone. Conversely, my fingers are almost always uncovered.
