Re: A new graveyard?

There have been rumuors of Microsoft embracing open Source and even GNU/Linux. Redmond might show its love by opening the source for Skype Classic.

A hyped threat

One gets the impression that this problem can be avoided by modifying the OS scheduler such that if it allocates two threads to a core, those threads must belong to the same process. That would also be nicer for the cache.

£ 1 goes far enough

You can take a coin, toss it towards the heavens and if it falls back onto the earth with its head up, the refugee may enter the Euil Empire, tails tell (s)he will be taken to the throne of Trump.

Re: Super Cooled Rush

National Energy Research Department buys A.I. supercomputer that will research its own energy consumption.

Far Cray? Yes, we can make America great hot jungle again.

Re: Accuracy

Holy Computer! We can only assume the inventors not only put their AI through not just rigorous Turing and IQ tests and university exams, but also ascertained that its soul was in a state of grace and if it could *accurately* communicate with the Lord of Hosts through prayer.

" the governments also controlled the religion"

Actually, no. Many rulers of yore have controlled religions to increase their power, sometimes claiming divinity for themselves.

"There is only one religion that can be interpreted as calling for the takeover of all the Earth by whatever means necessary. "

Yes, that is the God of Moses, Abraham, Jesus & Mohammed. Popes were the only religious leaders to control governments, instead of the other way around.

Re: Im sure theres only one reason why a tourist would visit that town...

"What about the people who live in Sussex? or Essex or any of the US States that have a Sussex County or Middlesex County or Essex County?"

What about Sexbierum in Friesland?

Google's motto used to be "do no evil"; is "make money, not love'"an improvement?

Does this Windows still come with the mandatory screen where the luser can choose whether to install Opera, Firefox, Chrome, or Edge Explorer?

Re: This is affecting the enthusiasts ...

Windows enthusiasts, you rarely get to meet one in the flesh. Guess this goes to show that if your Windows 10 is running half decently, you should never change its software.

Re: "...predict ball-gazing analysts"

It's only natural that the Middel Kingdom (and we don't mean Middle Earth) should endeavour a mobile OS after trying their hands on alternatives for Windows and Linux.

Re: Have fun!

So they keep you in custody for 360 days and then put you on a plane back to where you came from.

dozens of new holes patched

I suppose new holes means bugs that are not present in older versions of Acrobat Reader.

Re: Eroding end user choice and control

" the simple fact is lots are still choosing Microsoft products"

That's why they call it a monopoly, because Apple is the only competition. There are just no apps for your cell phone, unless it's on Windows 10.

Now it's time to make the Holy Bible Politically Correct.

Re: in Amsterdam no one needs a car.

The famous 'Tulips from Amsterdam' grown outside the city, just like the 'Amsterdam onions', but some the 'weed' you buy in the coffee shops grows in town, and the Amstel Beer brewerly is open to tourists, but the actual beer is made elsewhere, and the 'Hollandish new' herring don't swim in the canals nor the IJ, but the red light district is still popular with British tourists.

If you want to work in IT in the Netherlands, you go to Eindhoven and vicinity. (Amsterdam has an airport and some banks; The Hague has a few companies working for government; Utrecht has the national railways, Rotterdam has the harbour, the rest has agro-industry; Limburg is the best place to live). Eindhoven is over an hour by car from Amsterdam or Schiphol. Cheaper to live, best soccer team in the land, enough bars in the Stratumseind or Wilhelminaplein. Good Internet connectivity and you can still drive a car.

(P.S. not all Dutchmen look exactly like the guy in the picture)
