On the one hand you have the most advanced technology and the incalculable man-years of detailed engineering work that made it possible.
On the other you have the superstitions, magic rituals and cargo-cult behavior believed to keep any of it working
On the other-other hand (I work in nuclear) this is definitely necessary to make it work
>can install office 365 on a linux box with no glitches
Does anybody use a local Office anymore ?
We now have full corporate blessing for Linux and all our O360.5 / Teams / Outlook / Sharepoint works perfectly.
Microsoft even ship Linux versions of their management / security enforcement portal
>Funny how many senators prefer military spending to feeding, clothing or educating their constituents
Obviously true communism will only be achieved in the USA when everyone is in the military and so receives free food, housing, college and healthcare
"One is blinded to the fundamental uselessness of their products by the sense of achievement one feels in getting them to work at all. In other words, their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws."
The business model of Microsoft Sirius Cybernetics Corporation
So it's a pirate unofficial punk street art exhibition not approved by Banksy International Megacorp Holdings (Bahamas) Ltd *
* "Banksy International Megacorp Holdings (Bahamas) Ltd" is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation ---- Go stick Your head in a Pig
Deprecating these things over 7-10 year is ridiculous.
What you do is have a contract from a company to buy them from you in 3 years at 100% of the purchase price (ps don't mention that you own the company promising to buy them and it has no assets)
Then take advantage of Trumps' year 1 tax write off for anything useful to crypto and you make money by buying these - even if you never use them
>It's only a win if they sell those shares whilst they are worth more and walk with their profit
Or if it pleases the big boss and owner of Intel.
Nice chip business you got here Mr Huang, be a shame if you got banned from selling in China again wouldn't it ? Pity you aren't patriotically supporting america like all those proper american CEOs
In astronomy, where you might be using observational data from 1000 BCE, somebody thought of this and made the standard for astronomical image data defines the very layout of data on the tape - just in case any of these new fangled operating systems weren't around in another 3000years.
>Since Linux shares no DNA/source code with Unix, it can't be a direct descendant.
That's like saying 60s rock music wasn't a descendant of the blues because James Brown didn't play any notes on a Rolling Stones album
Linux is a Unix, it took all the original design from this Unix. It's diverged a bit now with Systemd etc but you could sit down in front of tihi and type most of your day-day commands
I'm working on a project where a computer can have multiple users and each user run multiple programs which will share a lot of code in libraries where you only have to have a single copy of the library on disk and in memory. There will also be security controlling which users can see which data of other users.
Just a hobby, won't be big and professional like DOS
>typical humanoid would require ~USD450.00 worth of Infineon power semiconductor components.
Haven't we reached the point where we can refer to them simply as "Mac Users" ?
I know that traditionally at el'reg we haven't though of them as real people, but "humanoid" is a bit much
