again, what war did it prevent? Korea? Vietnam? Iraq/Iran? USSR Afghanistan? Serbia? USA/ Afghanustan? USA / Iraq? USA / Panama thing? ruzzia (permanent UN security council member) Ukraine in 2014? in 2022? Constant attacks on Israel by every mofo piece of shit islamist state out there, pkus hamas, hezbollah?

World war 3 (nucleat kind?) is prevented not by the antisemites in UN but by the promise of MAD. Everything else is happening all the time. It is a pathetic joke and needs to be abolished.

Comment This isn't an article, it's an Opinion piece (Score 5, Interesting) 77

It's copied from The Atlantic, and right away, the opinion author's assertions run into trouble.

"For the overwhelming majority of graduates, the returns on going to college more than offset the cost of tuition. ". That's news to all the grads drowning in debt they'll never pay off.

"After factoring in financial aid, the cost of attending a public four-year college has fallen by more than 20 percent since 2015, even before adjusting for inflation." What? Seriously?

Many more things like that. And she never even addresses the issue of enrollment now being overwhelmingly female, with majors that are money losers in the job markets. Nor does she address the fact that a growing number of students are foreign, sent here by their families or governments to gain technical and business knowledge to take back home after graduation. The whole thing reads like a PR piece for colleges.

Comment Re:Also, Itanium (Score 1) 132

With the end of 2025, the last commercial support obligations for Itanium hardware have ended as well. Essentially, Itanium finally, officially died 4 days ago.

Negative, Ghostrider. While standard support is up, HPE has an extended support system called "mature support" covering HP 9000 and Integrity servers until 2028, including HP-UX support . So it's not truly dead just yet.

Intel has suffered from having fuck-you money since the 1980s. Such companies can suffer from accumulating faddish management and misallocating resources. Intel is a poster child example of this.

That's ended very recently. Intel's net income graphs since 2022 are astonishing: the wheels fell off entirely. We'll see if they get their poop back in a group with Panther Lake next week. It's looking pretty solid.

IRIX was the origin of XFS in Linux. The design and command line syntax of the LVM subsystem in Linux was modeled after the HP-UX LVM implementation: HP's LVM was a leading implementation at the time and it worked well: I used it on HP-UX servers for backing up Oracle volumes, among other things.

Itanium was the longest lived (25 years) of Intel's various failed attempts to kill x86. It obviously failed in this regard, but it was successful at killing other RISC CPU architectures, including PA-RISC and Alpha.

Previous attempts include iAPX 432, i960 and i860, all now consigned to the dustbin of history, along with IA-64 (Itanium,) although the i960 had some success in embedded IO controllers.

So will they be able to demand that flock and other types of cameras delete and do not record everyone's personal information?

and if you do not think they have your personal information, here, watch this: https://youtu.be/vU1-uiUlHTo?s...

with AI they DO have your personal data. They can see you and follow you in real time, they know where you live, they know what you drive, they know who you are, they know everything about you because you cannot escape 80,000 + cameras everywhere, ALPR (Automatic License Plate Readers) and PTZ (Pan to Zoom) cameras.

There is no more 4th amendment in the USA with this technology available to the state.

preventing which war exactly? You do know that ruzzia is a permanent member of the UN security council, right?

Yes, I do not like the UN. No, I do not believe UN exists to prevent wars. It exists today as a bad joke, a horrible reflection of the ugly reality. USA shouldn't host it, it should quit the stupid thing.

Comment Yes (Score 1) 87

AI can give many a 0 day work week, is that good enough for you? A 0 day work week and also 0 pay for it. I think that's fair.

As to 'resentment', what does that have to do with having fewer resources than you actually earned? If you earn something and people take it away we have a proper name for it - theft.

Easy. UN is a bunch of terrorist sympathizers and anti semites, including ruzzia, and here is what they are all about:

UN is an organization whose entire existence is a bad joke, aimed at blaming one single country of Israel more every year than all other countries combined. All this while Assad murders hundreds of thousands, North Korea enslaves millions, ruzzia starts wars to murder hundreds of thousands, whatever the hell happens in Africa all the time, whatever China is doing, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan... nothing matters. The only thing that matters there is to attack Israel.

This impacts virtually everyone, indirectly.

No it doesn't. Virtually no one has ever activated windows by phone.

Everyone that buys Windows licenses from those El Cheapo Google Marketplace vendors has to as the licenses tend to be pro licenses pulled from machines that won't activate over MS's web method.
