So if ALL your CEOs are an issue, perhaps the issue is you.
No doubt I've chosen to work for places I'd have been better off avoiding. But look around. Tech company CEOs not worth a dime are a dime a dozen.
So you tell yourself you are "worth more" just because you bothered to? After all you did succeed where I failed without really trying or caring LOL
I'd tell you that I "won" by the "rules" that you set forth, I guess. What do I win? I can make a smug face while I park ass, I guess. I don't consider it a massive accomplishment. On the other hand, I think what Slashdot needs most is humor, and I deliver that when possible.
Not being able to admit flaws and failures points to a very weak character.
Is that why you didn't log in?
Cisco, nuff said
Various startups, none of them are here any more, some of them were outright scams. I wouldn't just fire the CEO, I'd impeach him
Tivoli was in the process of being ruined by IBM
A bunch of people taking the industry in directions it doesn't want to go and willing to shit on workers to do it... fire the lot
But unfortunately the USA has plenty of tax havens in several states, Nevada, Delaware, South Dakota, Wyoming as a few of the most known
The writing is on the wall for them, too; they're a bit trickier because they can shout "states' rights" and delay things for a time but their days are numbered as well.
The proper solution comes from how we should treat all trolls: Don't feed the tolls.
YHBT. HTH, HAND
This announcement makes perfect sense if you think of it as a move in the game of chess between Apple and the EU.
It does, or you can just see it as a simple strategic decision. The EU wants them to start paying taxes; if they're going to have to pay them somewhere, they might as well pay them in the USA. Then they can employ more people here (and less in the EU) which is a benefit since their primary engineering is all here in the USA. They were one of the pioneers of the double irish accounting system, it's "made" them a lot of money, and now that it's over it's only a drawback to employ people in Ireland. It's much easier to fuck over workers in the USA.
So is your Android phone and Google Chrome which if I bet many I say you use and do not complain.
My android phone is running SOKP and Chrome is not everything I do on the device and I can run another browser.
MS is not spying on your documents.
Just every keystroke, any screen image any time they like, etc etc
How can an IT professional and geek LOVE 14 year old technology and fear something new
You are a disingenuous douchebag, and everyone can see it.
Actual Hues are security failures. I'd rather roll my own RGB LED light.
It can also control Hue lights. Or in theory, any other smart lights you've gatewayed through a Hue emulator. If anyone has actually done that, I'd be interested in seeing what you used. Most of the hue emulators are Java and I don't want to use that.
If these things require APIs that only exist in Windows 10, Intel can't code around them.
There's no reason for them to, however. A daemon process can easily communicate with the hardware and handle the power management. You won't get CPU hotplug support though, since that didn't make it into Windows until 2008.
I wonder why this comment is rated as insightful.
Because people found it insightful. The moderation system is not that complicated.
For a Windows 7, Windows 8 or whatever version of Windows user but 10, the alternative is not Windows 10 or Linux.
That's true. They could also become a Mac user.
If he cannot keep his old version of Windows, he will jump to Windows 10 which is much more similar to his computer experience than Linux.
It is in one significant way: software support. In any other way, it really is not.
This user is not driven by irrational hate against Microsoft and Windows since he would like to continue to use an older version of Windows.
I'm not driven by irrational hate. I'm driven by rational dislike and distrust. Windows 10 is spyware on a level that I won't permit on my network. I can (so far) keep that stuff out of my Windows 7, with some effort. I won't be buying any software which requires Windows 10, ever. So long as I can keep a machine running Windows 7, which I should be able to do with hardware on hand for the foreseeable future, I don't give a fig for Windows 10.
I believe that it's actually still possible to build a massive frankenputer with all of those things, using only COTS components. You can bridge PCI to ISA all the way into a sidecar enclosure. You can get a board with both PCI-E and PCI-X, or at least it was easy enough until recently; you could always bridge PCI-E out and get at least PCI if not PCI-X. And you should still be able to find 8-bit ISA interfaces for 8" floppies, etc.
The thing is, you don't actually want that. You really, really don't. Why not? Because some of those interfaces were garbage, and they either won't actually work with a modern CPU or they won't work properly in a multitasking environment. You really want a network of different machines with those devices and interfaces. Then you only have to pay the power budget of the devices you are actually using. The power budget of the machines themselves is trivial.
With solid state, you really don't have to worry much about magnets.
and
Vibrations
I worry about vibrations with connectors, and with solder joints. The latter problem is possibly worse now with lead-free solder but it was always a problem.
so? buy it once and keep it for years until the next computer. i have a 6 year old macbook pro that works just fine and the only thing i put in there was new RAM and new hard drive which is pretty standard across all computers.
So why does my PC need to be modular if I'm not going to be messing with it? It's just a way to make a SFF system more complicated, expensive, and failure-prone.
