The year is 2014, and these "scientists" are just NOW realizing that the ocean plays a key role in global climate change? We learned about this in elementary school. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...

I take it you're not all that familiar with military training then, are you?

The Windows 10 preview doesn't come with Minesweeper... Ubuntu had to compete SOMEHOW!

This has already been a thing here for several months here in the states at anime / gaming / sci-fi cons, mostly targeted at cosplayers. Kinda cool... kinda creepy... kinda indifferent about it, I guess?

And how exactly do they plan on dealing with Non-Microsoft items in this new settings environment? A huge part of why Windows has always won the OS wars was due to 3rd party extensibility and backwards compatibility.

This is forcing things to become non-standard, where programs are going to have to start having their own "control panels" in their own hard to find locations, rather than having a single place we all know and rely on to administer machines.

Except what is the line of sight efficiency with zero obstructions when something is directly above you, vs traveling through buildings, trees, etc at ground level. Yeah, when indoors it would probably be about the same, but in outdoor conditions (where we're away from wifi and actually need better signal), this will be great. Oh, and also, this can simply be supplemental to existing tech, such as phones being able to pull data off both cell and wifi. Now they'll have a third option. As someone who frequents ocean beaches and mountains that are hours away from cities, this will be GREAT!

Personally I keep eyeballing the SuperMicro TWIN line. Extremely dense configurations of multiple servers per unit. Spread the workload across multiple physical boxes. Use something like vCenter Server to manage the networking and other resource configurations to simplify making them all the same and adding easy of migrating VMs from one physical host to another.

There are far too many issues to count.

Half of the "menus" (are they even menus, or panels, or what?) for networking are flat out blank. Click on the ethernet connection to find out IPv4/IPv6 addresses and link speed? NOPE! Just a blank panel!

Opened up "Games" app, which launches what looks to be something similar to the XBox dashboard. Any games in there? NOPE! None! It just lists what I played on the XBox and what my achievements were on there. Any games on Windows 10? Comes with NONE apparently! Go to the store, download some free games. Are they then listed in the "Games" app? STILL NOPE!

And speaking of those downloaded games. None of them would remain stable for more than 60 seconds. These are basic games like Minesweeper, Mahjong, ya'know, the things that came with Windows 7? Also, their load times were in the 2-5 minute area. Yeah, that's right. It takes about 2-5 minutes to even get the games up and running once launching, then about 60 seconds of play before they crash out. Funny enough, while Minesweeper was "loading", I opened up Chrome and visited http://www.michaelv.org/ and played a game of Minesweeper through there while still waiting on the local native application to work.

Better customization of the start menu is absolutely needed. The menu is literally backwards. Windows 7 has a left/right split panel for the start menu, just like Windows 10 does. The problem? In Windows 7, the left half is the customization area for custom applications, with the right half being for static items (like control panel, computer, documents, etc). In Windows 10, this is reversed, with the static items being on the left, and the fully customization items being on the right.

Speaking of the customization items. You get the choice of normal desktop apps of either having a 1x1 or a 2x2 grid icon, nothing else. The 1x1 is simply an icon (no text), and the 2x2 is too large. Why not a 1x2 where it has the icon on the left and text on the right?

And this was just the beginning. The more I use it, the more the problems just seem absolutely endless.

Of COURSE the answer is "NO"! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...

Am I the only onw who thinks "Hack Attack" would be an awesome band name !?

However, last I checked, physical geographical location history information isn't available. This would be nice to add to these reports.

On T-Mobile, it is as simple as logging into your account on the web site, and looking at the reports. For a family plan, it lists the sender and receiver phone number of EVERY call AND text messages for everyone on the plan. These are accompanied with their time stamps, too, of course. There is also an option to download a PDF file with the "detailed" report on your bill, which contains all this information.

No idea why other carriers are claiming it is hard to deal with this sort of data.

The part that makes shitty consumer hardware is splitting up from the part that makes rock solid server hardware. This is an absolute dream come true!

Actually, it *IS* intended for normal production use, and is something we've been using every day already.
