They also are just being sat on. Corperations need to have them forcibly taken back as those asshats will never give them up willingly.

I have heard of a monthly "running out of IpV4 addresses" on slashdot since 1998.
And this story has zero meat to it just like the last 690 stories here about it.
How about someone forcing HP to give up their gigantic chunk that they have been camping on unused for 40 years?
Honestly, force internet to be like a utility. dont let them be for profit and force them to spend at last 50% of all profits on infrastructure build out.
These asshole CEO's don't want to do the right thing, then it needs to be done at gunpoint with regulations and laws. Let the SWAT teams raid a CEO office for once instead of a poor persons house.
The surface pro and Surface pro 2 BOTH have had non stop issues with wireless drivers for two reasons.
1 - microsoft chose the shittiest wireless chipset made on the planet, the Marvell Avastar 88W8797 Wireless
2 - The drivers were written by drunken morons.
you can easily bork the wireless that require you to delete the device, uninstall the drivers, reboot, re detect and then reinstall the drivers. I was hoping that microsoft had fixed this with windows 10, but nope. it's the exact same crap windows 8 driver that somehow self corrupts it's self on boot up.
It doesn't help that Marvell as a company makes only steaming piles of dog shit. All of their chipsets are complete garbage and any maker that uses them are ran by morons.
that explains all the nasty shocks and having to press the mouse button repeatedly to get a random reward.
your constitutional right to a trial. They make you agree to binding arbitration instead. (Section 10 of the EULA).
That one really burns me. It's pretty unAmerican to say "Give up a constitutional right or you can't use our product." (Was that there before?)
How can this be legal? There's got to be a way around that. I have no intentions of ever suing Microsoft, but this rubs me the wrong way. What's next, you have to give up your right to freedom of speech?
Um, no, the default is "Express Settings" which enables all that spyful telemetry by default. Most people are going to go with that. I turned it all off except for crash reporting.
Million, you must think this is 2001 in the Slashdot heydays...
I see you never begged at the feet of Silicon Graphics....
Sun on a throne? Sun were amateurs compared to SGI in making your customer kneel.
No sub $11,000 electric car that has 100 mile range.
No electric car that can charge in 6 hours at home without spending thousands on a fat charger and an electrician and permits to install it.
No apartments with electric charging stations.
So nope.
Only for Xbox one. Worthless.
now let me play games on my PC via my xbox one. Kerbal space program, dont starve, etc... Then it's competition.
Playing GTAV on my windows tablet? boring.
Startups BETTER think about it. Because sooner or later a real business may want to but the software or the startup. Then they need to learn real software development.
I know a guy who did do some iPhone apps. He said if you want to sell them you need to understand what people want, how to solve their problem, how to fix it when a bug is found, how to create documentation so users aren't badgering you with how-to questions, etc. If you want to do real software you will have to do all or most of what I listed.
What about requirements gathering? Business modeling? Testing? Versioning? Maintenance? Hosting? Building the app? Distributing the app.? Administering the build machines? Documentation? Communication and control of a project?
I'm sure I missed something. But there are a huge number of components to a reasonably sized software project. Programming is often the smallest, in numbers, slice of the task.
What do you call CEOs? They are ripping you off everyday.
