I find it ironic that we had some Romanian sites go black in response to SOPA which was an US issue but today Romania signed ACTA and nobody did anything. http://www.mofa.go.jp/policy/economy/i_property/acta1201.htm...

I don't care about the GPU, but I'm glad to see XBMC running on the thing. Next up, I want to see some Ubuntu Pi edition, and perhaps even some ChromeOS fork. My hope is to be able to attach that to the back of a monitor/TV and get a usable

What if they are selling an unique product and there is no other vendor? Is there a market when the same product is negotiated at a different price with each customer?

Kinda like asking $1000 for a glass of water from the man almost dying of thirst but accepting $3 from the man that's jogging and wants a sip. The problem is I've always seen explanations where pricing is set my the market demand. I'm cur

Correct! Even pirating Microsoft helps Microsoft. The worst thing for Microsoft would be a strict enforcement of copyright: people would be running to alternatives.

Well, I am just being irritated a bit, it's not like I'm making plans to leave AWS. It's the same feeling you have when you see your mobile provider has great offers, as long as you are a first time buyer or if you are switching providers.

I'm always a bit irritated when I see that companies provide new customers dreamy offers but the old customers get nothing (and are effectively subsidizing that).

What does the spirit of open source have to do with the number of downloads for some commercial, closed source apps? Open source isn't infinite transparency.

This brings us back to my original comment where I said that generally companies do tax evasion in Romania and most "job creation" involves a certain degree of tax evasion. I guess the same happens in Hungary too. About firing, it does seem

We are a 3 people company doing software and we all do teleworking. (We used to be 4 people in 3 cities, now we are just 3 in 2 cities.) So, I don't see how much my position as an employer impacts my employee's daily experience. They are fr

I assume in any relationship both parties can abuse their position. But, as an employer, I feel I am clearly at a disadvantage. It's easy to put clauses in a contract, but it doesn't actually mean they could be enforced in a court of law, e

The title should be "why I don't give you a job without doing tax evasion ". In Romania it's about the same: the taxation for an employees is high and so is social security (pregnancy leave, difficulty firing, etc). But people don't compla

It has as much structure as a boring Sci-Fi book. I find it baffling that they accept patents where I just add "an artificial intelligence component" until I present something that might or might not actually exist but I get a chance to der

I might just give this a try. I postponed using Puppet/Chef because it didn't seem right that they were Ruby and thus had their own dependency chain. Seems to me automatic configuration should be as close to whatever is available on a bare

The big bids are just cashing in on the hype that has been build up over this. I'm also eager to get one, but I think it's at least an year until it will be in a usable state as a product. This would be a perfect in-laws replacement compute

Beyond that I hope they have some better fonts on the Chromebooks. I can't imagine what would one do with a ChromeOS VM when you have native Chrome builds available. Once the novelty factor wears out (and it does, pretty quickly), there is

I dunno, it could be useful for a number of things. For example, I know a few online banking solutions that are IE-only. The most you need there might be a certificate, so resetting the vm every 30 days isn't such a big deal. I try to keep

The magic in ChromeOS is the hardware Google uses from the Chromebooks. There is an unofficial site with images for Chromium(?)OS but it doesn't look pretty.

I can't believe Microsoft is giving away free Windows licenses as long as you use the vm image for IE. Which is basically the only reason I do have an old Windows XP vm on my Mac.

Actually it's unclear by reading this blog post alone what are you trying to say. It becomes clear if people read the end of your previous post[1] where you say: "For corporate deployments, there has to be a stable branch. I bet someone

I'm not entirely certain return rates are a good indicator of failure rates. First, you only return a hard drive if it's under warranty so that gives you a 1-2 years window. Second, if you care about security, you don't really return hard d

From what I've seen in Romania it's actually even simpler than that: money and attitude. We have English proficiency, our internet infrastructure might be the best in Europe for home users and we presumably have good CS education. The reaso
