Isn't it the point that he single handedly pissed away Microsoft's lead in tablets, phones, office, windows and Xbox? Making lots of money is easy when you have an illegal monopoly you can leverage.
They can already brick your phone today.
Mr. Phone, meet Mr. Brick. *smash*
Why did mods mark it troll? He is perfectly accurate. Microsoft is *STILL* doing it these days. Right now, my favorite is the one where when your client sends a SYN, and the server responds with a RST, the client sends a couple more SYNs, you know, just in case the app wasn't really sure if it wanted to talk or not... There's even a kb article on it, and a registry setting. Which has a minimum setting of two - so no matter what you do, it will send out two extra spurious SYNs.
We really need a TCP/MS for all the crap they pull.
Uh, you have been following the news right, the ones where Blackberry voluntarily agrees to give whole sale all the information they have to governments like India, Saudi Arabia, etc?
You know, the phone where *ALL* your data have to pass through their data centers?
A very good point most people missed.
Right. And all those people who showed information being uploaded are just paranoid people.
Microsoft Lync, setting up AD, and all the services to support it?
Have you looked into how OpenBSD got started?
If you didn't update iOS, how did it actually become slower? Did you perform any measurements? Because, as studies of eyewitnesses have shown, your perception of reality may not match actual reality.
If you *DID* update iOS, it falls into that new functionality bucket.
To quote the professor:
Yet that’s all it shows: People suddenly feel that their phone is slowing down. It doesn’t show that our iPhones actually became slower.
And really, if you want new functionality - which requires new code, are you telling me it doesn't make sense that it will take up more memory and CPU cycles, and therefore "slower" ?
Unless someone finds a "if old phone, wait() and wait more()", even the "optimizing for new phone" argument is bullshit, because Apple pushes out an image specific to your phone (i.e., iOS 6 for iPhone 4 is different from iOS 6 for iPhone 4S is different from iOS 6 for iPhone 5).
Why is everything a conspiracy theory with you?
According to wc, 1202 words. Certainly crosses the 4 digit threshold for me.
If you write shit code, you shouldn't be called out for writing shit code?
In the end, the professor, after writing thousands of words, comes to no conclusion. In other words, what a waste of time. Additional new code will take more cycles to run. Gee, what a simple explanation.
Are you that stupid, or do you just play one on the Internet? This issue has been debated endlessly and there are lots of nice graphs and diagrams, even here on
No, it is not the assertion - what Level3 has pointed out is that in the peering hostel, there is sufficient capacity but Verizon refuses to use it. That is the place where Netflix's ISP and Your ISP (Verizon) meets, to pass traffic to each other.
To write good code is a worthy challenge, and a source of civilized delight. -- stolen and paraphrased from William Safire
