I plan to use this as my next desktop after Win7 x64, since it seems MS is not propagating the Win10 security patches to 7 and 8. I'm running it in a VM and so far it seems very promising. Snappy, small memory requirements and the added bonuses of almost no telemetry, no spyware and no Cortana.

The main reason I decided to migrate is that Win7 is no more viable for me. I find that the shift to monthly security updates have worsened the update situation. My current Windows 7 x64 just refuses to install the September update (KB4038777) and there is no cure for it, as currently there is no definitive solution but an in-place reinstall (been searching for a week now trying all procedures found in MS and other forums). When the updates were isolated patches one could troubleshoot the offending one, but now with the monthly updates it's an all-or-nothing deal - if it doesn't want to play along you're doomed. Given the number of people having the issue (just search error code 80073701 kb4038777 and see) I predict that Win7 will slowly but inevitably fade away due to the inability to patch it properly.

...especially supposedly technically knowledgeable people who are supposedly future-oriented. Here we are on the threshold of a revolutionary transformation in how transportation occurs and what I'm seeing so far here is an amalgam of: who can we sue when/if something fails?!?; it'll NEVER work 100% of the time! (omitting how shitty our current methodology scores); we need Standards(TM) first!! (ignoring how technology evolves); etc. Damn, just when I thought things could not get worse for America.

"Make no mistake, the extension is going on right now. Linux isn't getting .Net Core because Microsoft wants Linux servers to run ASP.Net sites. That's laughable."

Oh, so SQL Server 2016 for Linux is actually intended for Android? Thanks, now I won't even consider it ...

I had to dig deep into the first page of results for this. Many Bothans died to bring you this information... https://www.usnews.com/opinion...

In many respects, it kind of makes the original, in retrospect, look a little bit misguided, like as if it was stabbing in the dark, not knowing what it was meant to be. BR2049 honed in on all the great aspects of the original, and gave a lot more of that. In a lot of scenes, it showed a great deal, without actually having to dwell a long time on it, even though the movie was long. I personally most enjoyed the scenes which, some would argue are pointless, because they're just cars flying through the air, in the backdrop of the city, with the music, it all worked very well. For me, it really came across that the movie had a story to tell in the way that a good story teller embellishes and articulates certain details, as opposed to just getting the job done, because of a more corporate approach of 90 minutes, and your typical checklist of getting the introduction, complication and resolution.

Even if you have a lens capable of resolving 160 lp/mm (unlikely), you'll have trouble achieving and maintaining focus, And that resolution is only going to be available at the center of the image, even on hideously expensive lenses. https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/07/experiments-for-ultra-high-resolution-camera-sensors/ The bigger the image, the bigger the lens has to be and the more difficult it is to design and build a lens that can achieve a given level of resolution. Lens cost goes up roughly in proportion to the volume of the lens.

No one considers Alex Jones Trustworthy after the "Harbor bomb oxygen rebreather debacle!

Having sat through Prometheus, why the hell did you bother with Alien Covenant? Reviews were unanimously derisive from the very start.

Blade Runner 2049, however. Is superb. Don't sell yourself short by watching it on a 28" tube. It deserves IMAX. and immersive sound.

Trillion dollar wars to ensure their supplies.

Google sourcing known liars WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEM AS LIARS simply does Putin's job for him

Because I didn't. If you read that AMA further, it's pretty clear that he started on WP after the metro interface was already built, and his biggest takeaway from it was that having fancy artwork is nice and all, but it's all for nothing if it isn't relevant.

The mistake you're making here is that you're basing this off of anecdotes. Again, the empirical evidence very strongly says that it isn't.

That wasn't his point. Watch his youtube video:

He's not talking about apps.

No, no, and no. Pay attention. My comment was a reply to another poster who said that Windows Phone didn't have a bad UI. What I'm showing is that this is false. In fact, there are MANY design experts who have commented as such over the years. But to be totally honest, there wasn't ever anything special or good about windows phone; it is and always was a "me too!" platform.

Microsoft really had no excuse here for losing; they were in the smartphone business a full 7 years before Apple was.

But what the hell, let's compare self driving cars that only operate in perfect daytime sunny conditions, mostly on pre-planned routes with light traffic only making right hand turns with freezing rain pileups and rush hour traffic drama. Then declare self driving cars more safe. I haven't seen a single apples to apples comparison of safety where the autonomous cars drive only in the same conditions as humans when measuring safety.

It is screen size driving graphic processing power, not the dots per mm. So bigger screens need higher resolution processing power, not higher resolution screens, in fact aside from language abuses those screens are lower resolution than you typical smart phone but they are much bigger. So the conflict of resolution of dots per mm vs dots processed (more total dots for bigger screens. How big video screens do I want, floor to ceiling across entire walls, some of my favourite content is scenery with pleasant music ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and the bigger the screen the better.

The logical future development is windows less apartments with large screens provided as part of the apartment, so which is better a shit view or a massive screen showing a great view. So who doesn't want a better view, someone who has never experienced one, I have a great one and it really does impact you life in very subtle ways and a big screen TV running with scenery, also has similar impact, the bigger the better, probably nine screen scenario filling an entire wall space being the development goal, with the centre having real power and the peripheral screens being pretty basic for just scenery or general data.

The long term question in capital development will windows be more cost effective than providing a big screen as default in an apartment with a scenery channel. You know they would fuck it up by showing commercials 24/7 at fill volume, you just know they would do it.

they don't enforce the 55 on the IL tollways!

It is if you have DSL. The voice service bundled with DSL isn't VoIP but POTS. The voice service bundled with cable and FTTH isn't, but it's still a landline in the broader sense of a voice service over a wired physical layer that can send and receive calls to traditional phone numbers at little or no additional charge.

If one sends and receives few enough SMS messages and few enough voice calls while away from home that the monthly charge is stlil less than the monthly charge for a unlimited voice and SMS plan, I fail to understand how it's necessarily "choosing poorly".

people who 55 on I-294 when it is wide open should get that.

You make absolutely no sense.

The Syrian war was started by American supported rebels and ISIS. The SDF (al Nusra, aka al Qaeda in Syria) has been supported by the Americans throughout the entire war, until Trump took office, when he promptly ended the CIA program which armed them. Are you saying the American government has been trying to achieve Russian geopolitical objectives since they invaded Iraq?

The problem with the Ukraine is the fact that it is currently controlled by Nazis. And I mean real Nazis, descendants of Hitlers group of Nazis. Look at the helmets of the Azov brigade. Spoiler alert: Russians hate Nazis more than you do. They had a really nasty war a long time ago. But hey, Joe Biden's son is on the board of the Ukraine energy company now, so apparently the Democrats have no problem with real Nazis.

What's wrong with Brexit and Catalan independence? Self determination and self rule are human rights. To take that away from people is tyranny or slavery. If Russia is supporting self determination and self rule, they are supporting freedom.

Politicians are trash, no one needs to do anything to impugn them, the politicians are quite capable of that on their own.

Or you send fertilized embryos in a lead jar, and implant them in the women as required. That means the kids have less radiation damage, and you get a better genetic variation as you can use a different mother for every kid.

I remember as a kid in the 60s going up to the mountains for vacation and suddenly finding a lot easier to breathe. Then coming back to the city -- visible at a distance by the chocolate brown smudge hovering above the horizon -- and having my eyes water.

When you look at an old TV show or movie and the buildings a few hundred yards away look all hazy -- that's not the lens or the film stock. It actually friggin' looked like that. Back before the Clean Air Act we used to have "smog events" in which hundreds of people died, like the New York Smog of 1966, one of three such events that occurred in just over a decade in that city.

Shit like that is why we have an EPA and a Clean Air act. It wasn't a bunch of tree-hugging hippies, it was average people reacting to the fact the country was being turned into a shit hole.

I've been sitting on my can.

MacOS is not a descendant of FreeBSD.

MacOS is a shiny proprietary layer on top of NeXT OS, which became the Apple OS after the Apple developers had fumbled around and blown many, many millions on Taligent/Pink and some other crap, proving they were incapable of producing a moderm OS with preemptive multitasking. So they (were bought by./they bough) NeXT. Unfortunately, the NeXT OS was musty and very stale, because it was ancient and the project of a decaying failed company by this point in time. So they kept the Mach Kernel and the framework of the OS, pulled over a bunch of the userland from FreeBSD, plus bought one of the top FreeBSD developers for good measure.

MacOS is by no means a descendant of FreeBSD. They grafted some stuff from FreeBSD onto NeXT Step.

As technology advances it ought to be possible to create the missing date for higher resolution images. Edges can be sharpened and interpolated/extrapolated to the added lines.Textures can be refined once by an artist, then the computer takes over rendering the details in subsequent frames. Experts review the results and give the system hints for fixing bad spots.

This means years of software development, but still not as expensive as paying some loopy actors to do the scenes over again.

I have retired and I work hard at making Mondays a quite specific day, a do nothing day, my have fun only day and that is lazy fun day, not active fun day (wont even pay bills on a Monday). Mondies suck becaue of the dirtiest four letter word on the planet, 'ewww', work (often very shitty super boring crap work), yuck.

But you can't tell which is which until you open the box of donuts.

NetBSD/xen is a port of NetBSD to the Xen virtual machine monitor.

NetBSD/xen has been around since 2004.

Pfft, most likely reason for ban, no US CIA/NSA back doors, maybe FSB ones but definately no US ones. Who is most likely to hack, the US government, they have an insane spy on everyone and control everyone policy. So paying for one, I would go with the Russian Kaspersky because they spend their time fending off the CIA/NSA rather than cooperating with them. Are Kaspersky innocent, not in US government eyes, they are guilty as hell for in all likelihood being unwilling to install CIA/NSA back doors, not that they would be asked with security letters to hide that criminal activity because that would be major news on https://www.rt.com/.

Reality is, any security product I see approved by the US government I will likely avoid and any they attack I will take a second look at. The US government are by far the biggest most untrustworthy liars on the planet. They think it is a laugh that they found no WMDs in Iraq, killed a million Iraqis and thousands of their own allied nations soldiers all for a for profit giggle, tee hee.

The whole structure of the OS is so vastly different. The whole base userland and kernel on a BSD OS are released as a complete source tarball on one revision tag. It all builds together. You can build an entire BSD release with two make commands, one for the kernel and one for the userland.

With Linux, the userland of each 'disto' is whatever that 'distro maintainer' decided to pull together into the dogs breakfast of a userland that Linux OSes always have. Source code for userland binaries come from all over the place. And there are so many userlands.

... to see how big, deep and wide the true depth notch is :)

They also seem fine with car automation so far. Tesla Autopilot has already killed a few people, but it is still safer per mile than the average human, so people accept the risk and continue to use it.

Will everyone trust SDCs? Of course not, there are still people that don't trust elevators and always take the stairs. But there is no good reason to believe that most people won't trust SDCs once they have a solid track record of safe driving, even if there is an occasional accident.

It's the hottest planet in the solar system because of its CO2 based runaway greenhouse gas situation. It's remarkably bad model to want to emulate.
