Why? I like my Wiz lights. Is there something I don't know about?
I guess it was unexpected that rocks can create a functional battery, and not have been drained after all this time.
He did nothing actually illegal, except that income tax thing.
It's a third party kernel module, which Microsoft would love to be able to block, but legally can't. It's technically possible to write a virus scanner that runs in user space instead of the kernel, but it's easier to make sure everything gets scanned if it's in the kernel.
Because most of what you look at in real life is mundane. But go find a nice sunset or a green forest, and you can appreciate it. When you see a scene in HD or 3D on the screen, there is a heavy selection bias to show you pleasant scenes that most people seldom see in real life. If it was super 4k and 3D, but it was just your same living room you see every day, it would be uninteresting. But the same camera showing a living room in a 10 million dollar house would be interesting. (And the natural views outside even more so, most likely.)
This actually exists, but for a different operating system. The AS400 (aka iSeries) had a command line where programs had a standard way to specify parameters, so that pressing a prompt key (F4) would allow you to build the proper command line by filling a form. I do miss that, pity it doesn't exist for Linux.
You can get Mint on a "Live" USB flash drive, so you can boot it up and see if it handles all your hardware before you install anything.
I'm saying it's happened before. AOL. Palm. Yahoo. Blackberry. A company with an effective monopoly gets complacent and fails to serve their users. They get replaced.
But that's also a path for them to no longer be a monopoly, if the right competitor makes the right moves.
You can do that kind of imposed structure if it's an internal tool used by employees. But if the public is using it, it has better be able to parse whatever the consumer is saying. Somebody will say "I want a burger and a coke, but hold the mustard. And add some fries. No make it two of each." And it won't fit your predefined syntax.
Because bits are not expensive anymore, and if we used 64 bits, we might run out faster than the time needed to convert to a new standard. (After all, IPv4 is still around 26 years after IPv6 was drafted.) Also see the other notes about how networks get segmented in non-optimal ways. It's a good thing to not have to worry about address space when designing your network.
It's more than voice recognition, since it must also parse a wide variety of sentence structure into a discreet order, as well as answer questions.
That sounds more like they are excluding most corporate internal systems, (which would also happen to cover the systems run by government.)
Why is the spring backwards? The lever is supposed to hold it down, but had no pressure on it, since the trigger is removed.
If someone is paying you to write code, they have some say in the contract about how it is licensed. You could be upfront about only doing GPL, and they could be upfront about saying no. But if you try to do it after the fact, that's a violation of the contract.
True, having the right metric is important. But having no metric might be an overreaction to the crisis caused by bad metrics.
Of course lots of Wells Fargo previous PR disasters resulted from having meaningful metrics from management that just happened to be anti-consumer side effects.
They don't want you if you're not watching ads or paying money. They don't want to give you bandwidth for free.
