I just successfully logged in. to a blank page.

definitely not a DDOS. LOIC is going to cause the kinds of errors I've seen.

How about this one, hire an Indian firm to run a government level oracle database without actually testing it or including load-balancing and you're gonna have a bad time.

Blame your horrendous failure on user volume and then call it glitches and you're gonna have a bad time.

List of known issues in order of appearance:

01. security questions not loading.
02. security answers failing validation.
03. email validation tokens timing out instantly.
04. correct passwords failing
05. password reset emails not providing clickable link for reset
06. password reset link loads page which doesn't find the profile it just emailed to.
07. EIDM server crashing and throwing system down errors.
08. oracle server errors.
09. network gateway timeout errors.
10. oracle account manager loading towards public

All of this excluding the actual waiting pages for a website.
This is either gross incompetence or sabotage.

no, it's a big high five to the clearly superior hardware vendors.

Mr. Fusion is still a few years off.

agreed.

Start with the PB&J robot.

Pretend to be a robot and have your kid give you instructions on how to make a PB&J sandwich.
When they skip a step in the algorithm, you simply respond, "HOW?"

This is probably the easiest lesson in programming and a great place to start because it forces you to think in pseudocode.

Perfect for a five year old.

Honestly, ubuntu is only important to current users. I keep an install on my usb stick for emergencies, but I don't really use it that much.
I've been a Linux administrator for a decade and I still use windows at home.
Android has surpassed ubuntu in every way for usability and utility.
I always want to switch, but Steam keeps me using windows. Perhaps SteamOS will change that.

As for mobile, since there hasn't been much work done on ubuntu touch, now called ubuntu for phones, I don't think canonical is keeping up.

ubuntu for phones is starting to feel like symbian

I don't know that they're jealous.

Just make it a setting. But not the default.

How about the fist bump to exchange data on smart watches?

Since all vendors are veering towards standardized PC hardware that you would find in the PS4 and XBOX ONE, you're going to eventually see vendors make their controllers and peripherals with a standard like USB or the hinted at wireless USB. They will work on PC, XB1 and PS4.
They will come to see that it's going to be prestigious to sell the most controllers. And others will join in the market like Mad Catz and Logitech.
Apple will still be proprietary on their home entertainment hub. Android will become cross-platform for games on SteamOS. There might be an android application to stream games from your PC running steam. Game servers will become platform agnostic. Eventually publishers will want to claim all their players can compete with those on another platform. And finally, buying a rockstar game on XB1 or PS4 will grant you a Steam key as publishers finally realize you don't want to buy the white album again.

I could be wrong.

well in reality, I invented the left hand-only gaming keyboard. in 1999. If only I'd patented it.

Though my original idea still hasn't been brought to market, companies like nostromo, logitech, and razer have come pretty close.

I've been playing games for 31 years.

other ideas I've gotten wrong:

The advent of home linux servers for media
that we'd still being using disc for distribution in 2013.

I predicted the shift to Linux gaming six years ago

Of course, at that time, I didn't get the digital distribution right because we had such limited bandwidth with little prospect for upgrades.

toot toot.

not a big fan of comedy?

rather wrong?

It's like saying an Earth Rover failed to turn up any bauxite in it's drilling samples.

While we have an enormous amount of methane in our atmosphere, we also have a teeming biosphere. The methane might be frozen in the ground.

But they're acting like diatomaceous earth doesn't exist.

I don't know what X is supposed to be, but he spelled boycott wrong.
