It is worth mentioning that the PC requirements would be almost the same if all you wanted to do is play a modern game at steady frames per second (90) on a 2160x1200 monitor.

Keep in mind that many of the things that can be done in PowerShell are simply interfaces to existing non-PowerShell methods. Auditing, in a Windows environment, generally falls to the local security policy and/or group policy defined

It's interesting to see the drop in torrent usage from 2011 to 2015. It makes me wonder how much easier copyright enforcement will be as cloud storage continues to grow in usage. Throw in lack of encryption and data mining and it'

I agree with your interpretation. It would seem to have more to do with the slowing sales numbers for tablets as well as the incorrect assumption we would be in a post-PC era at this point. That day will come eventually and while large tabl

Blaming encryption is probably easier for them than to explain why all of the unprecedented surveillance that has been in place for years failed to stop yet another attack.

A Go app likely wouldn't rely on the native processing power of the smartphone. An AlphaGo app could be created today for a smartphone. The bottleneck isn't the phone it's the cost of the cloud computing resources behind it.

You raise an interesting point. Do people consume things they know are bad because they want to or because they are manipulated to?

Two interesting possibilities to consider: 1) The government has already gotten past the iPhone security and read the data. 2) Apple already has the software they were asked to create.

I find it odd that someone would charge a fee to join a chat room. Doubly so if that chat room is meant as a way for like minded religious people to communicate. Is there at least an animated collection plate that comes up during the sign u

Slightly off topic: You make an interesting point about Square. In the context of Apple Pay, the move to take away the headphone jack suddenly makes a lot of sense (for Apple).

On the other hand, how long does it really take to build a new PC? Maybe an hour for research and ordering parts... another two hours at most to put it together. Seems like a small investment for something you're going to use a lot.

I agree that one intended effect of QE was to reinflate the housing market. One problem was homes being way overvalued. After prices somewhat balanced out, the problem was a lack of credit available for most people wanting to buy into the m

I would wonder if this is more of a feature (for Google) than a bug. If you send a link to a friend that you found by searching Google, it's in Google's business interests for your friend to first come to Google and then the site

I cannot remember the exact number but since the Japanese had so many islands as well as mainland Japan, the cost of invasion in lives (Western and Japanese) was massive. Of course it was not just a numbers decision, there was certainly so

In my opinion, you should only go to your manager if it has an effect on your work. Even then it's rare. Since you're the new guy and the others have presumably been there for a while... You will find it difficult to make your cas

This article makes some valid points but the devil is usually in the details. Based on the definition of a 'hero' in this article, it seems to be a non-management level employee. I would argue the problem is not the 'hero&#x
