If that's true, yes, Windows Server has been irrelevant for some time. It wouldn't explain the remapping of Office, though.

You're thinking about your own app servers. No one cares about the cost of Windows when you're running someone else's proprietary desktop software on it.

Established businesses aren't going to put their data in someone else's datacenter. Small to medium businesses perhaps, but all it takes is one downturn that tightens the purse strings, or one critical event that reveals their abs

Business is full of "just good enough" solutions, and loves control. Apple has shown that breaking backwards compatibility doesn't bother them, they're not going to build IT control features to the same level, and ... ma

I agree that getting Office to run on Android and iOS is a bright future, but that doesn't mean you put Windows in the corner with "some other stuff". Maybe there are too many people on it and they've gotten too comforta

This seems like a ridiculous strategy. Who would abandon an ecosystem that they own over 80% of? If they're spending too much money on it, stop adding features and harden what they already have. It's increasingly clear that macOS

Darwin is a custom mash of BSD, not linux. You could use a BSD kernel, but you would have to customize it a lot for device and feature support... which is how we got the Darwin kernel in the first place. They're already including some

They might not be as nice as my swanky high rise I mean... this isn’t how price comparisons work? You can rent a studio on Peachtree in Midtown for $1,000 a month if it isn’t “swanky”. It probably has the same square footage as that $2,50

Not to be callous, but if aren't already paying $3500/mo then you aren't paying NYC rents. If Amazon moves in, they'll just build another half dozen highrise apartments and rates will stay about the same. NCR, a new Tech

Where does this fear come from? Atlanta is adding ~ 100k jobs every year, and HQ2 is projected to be ~ 5k per year for a decade. Developments adding a few thousand jobs are announced every other month. Anyone worried about rapid expansion a

Chriky is confused because "percentile" has a specific meaning, and "below the 99th percentile" means everyone except the top 1%. The GP meant to say "lower than 99%", which is the 1st percentile.

The problem is that we don’t know whether our encryption is vulnerable to advanced attacks. Cryptographic hash functions actually have a useful lifespan based on the math and the cost of computing. The more time we spend analyzing the math,

Do you... know what these words mean? Absolute positioning has to be calculated from an absolute frame, like GPS. This is relative positioning, corrected by detecting periods when there should be no motion. Am I an old man now? Where is my

How many sentences is TL these days? But yes, this is an offensive AI, and no, we aren’t passive-only today - look at the IoT botnets.

You’re being needlessly narrow minded. Any improvement on that integration that doesn’t use an absolute source of position is still dead reckoning. Do you think ancient sailors used IMUs?

The "best" part is how good an AI would be at privilege escalation. Go ahead, build out that security camera network, automate your cars, store your money using cryptography. I'm a geek and I love the way technology increases
