Re: That's all very well...

DEP breaks Counter Strike 1.6, which is still the most played version of Counter Strike in the country that has THE most population on the planet.

Re: What do it do?

Satellite recon is only good for stationary targets as it can only do a sweep every 8 hrs. Recon drones, on the other hand, can stay on station for much longer, but can be shot down by SM-6s... unless the drones are stealth too like the X-47B.

pretty much nobody uses OneDrive

That's because you're living on the wrong side of the world--the capitalism side.

In the socialism side of the world, OneDrive is the most reliable cloud storage service of them all.

And the very person who first introduced Start Menu and taskbar to Windows said that he's disappointed with Windows 10's version because after more than 22 years they are still too similar to the original ones.

I don't know about your part of the world but...

Around my part of the world, a big black Audi is the go-to choice for EVERY rich farmer/ex-farmer who's too old to understand why their son bought that tiny car that can't do anything other than go from 0-60mph in 3 seconds.

The LINUX TABLET IS THE FUTURE - and it always will be

Field Commander A9
Stop

Linux kernel is nor Linux, in the same way that a car engine is not a car.

Putting a linux kernel into a linux distro makes it a Linux, putting a linux kernel under a java VM doesn't.

You put a car engine into a car chasis and then you get a car. Trying to call Android a Linux is like putting a car enging into a speedboat chasis and then trying to call it a car. It just makes no sense.

Simple

Go to your local computer shop and let them make you one from standard parts. Or just DIY your own, since all you need to make a common PC is case+MB+CPU+RAM+graphic card+HDD+monitor+KB+mouse+speakers......I mean, just how hard can it be for an average El Reg reader!?

Much cheaper than any OEMs and no software pre-installed!

WTF?

Just how many times do I have to point this out again!?

What Dell claimed is that this is the thinest 15in "PC", not "LAPTOP"!!

And like many ppl said, a Mac is NOT a PC!!

So if you can't find a 15in that is thinner than this and comes with Linux or Windows pre-installed, then there is NOTHING wrong about Dell's claim.

suppose you don't run Linux as root, then Windows only does it better if you don't run it as Administrator.

There're many uses for Middle-click in Windows that doesn't exist in Linux

Like opening another tab, close a exsting tab, free scorlling etc.

So this is not a function problem, it's just preference.
