I like the idea of security, but I like the idea of agency more.

Re: Late to the party?

I regret that I have but one upvote to give you. As someone whom has to "do it all" so to speak, sometimes I do need a bit of handholding to accomplish a task correctly.

Re: Mobile service in Ireland and France

Thanks for this.

No issues here with my steam library on my older gaming rig

Plug N Play and a fancy new background made with FREAKIN LAZORSSSS.

but seriously I am upgrading day 1....pray/drink for me

Normally I would agree. I'm more concerned with persons who magically manage to create a new desktop and wonder where all their apps that they had open went. Luckily a quick explanation of ctrl + Win + L arrow or crtl + Win + D should resolve it...once I explain that yes they hold down the first 2 keys then tap the 3rd, what the win key looks like (yes, I do work in IT for an engineering company), get frustrated, remote in and do it myself, finally going to my calendar to schedule a beating for the GPO guy for not reversing this setting.

I the not normal tech person really like virtual desktops, not sure I have the fortitude yet to support it.

Don't forget about the Law Enforcement mandated easy decryption

Re: see nothing worthwhile on windows 10 here

Might as well dust off your XP box as well then, you know since it turns on and doesn't do that transparency magic in the UI.

Re: Oh Please! This is worse than 3D TV

you must be real fun at parties. At least MS is trying something.

Re: Error in the translation..

And corn, lots of corn. Do not forget the post apocalyptic city if Gary. But yes you are not missing anything.

Re: I put it on a desktop system

They addressed that when 9929 was released. They know that devices without batteries are showing batteries with 0% charge. I would imagine that will be addressed in the next update....hopefully

Re: I'm free! No, you're an idiot

I am cautiously optimistic about their future model for windows. Adopting a wait and see etc

Re: Go ask New Jersey

This was more in the vain of the early 90's when NJ gave Verizon buckets of cash to wire the state and 20 years later (last year) when they tried to get out of the agreement because it was hard to wire the state.

Re: Raspberry Pi

Would be nice but LAUSD is looking for a more drop in and be done with it portable solution. Also something that garners favor with the vendors I'm sure.

I was annoyed when I first heard about the ipad deployment since it was essentially no-bid, 2nd when in the trial run the students "hacked" the devices by deleting the MDM profiles so they could browse facebook and install apps.

Re: Windows 10

MS's recent numbers seem to contradict your comment. Are their devices achieving the success that Apple devices receive? No. Is there growth in their lines? Yes. As a frequent reader of many tech news sites (El Reg, you are still my fav), I see even techcrunch, who constantly has their olfactory organ squarely up Apples' posterior, even praising MS for what they are doing with their various hardware lines. In short MS is selling hardware and shocks of shocks someone is actually buying.

TBF I do want a Surface 3.

Re: Anyone Running it in Virtualbox?

use windows 8.1, not generic x64

Re: Up the power

I believe there are a number of railroads here in the USA that send or have sent signaling data for block and moving block signaling through the tracks.

Re: Online store

Indeed that would be great but they spun that business off years ago. I have to wonder why though considering I have my fathers HP financial calc from the 70's and it is fabulous to this day even though it takes batteries

Re: US version

Slight correction, it went on sale a little after 8:30 AM PST and the ordering system has been up and more times than a prostitute at a frat party.

Re: I really really really...

its a silly time killer of a game. It just happens to be one of the really good ones. It went viral a few years ago ( I sentence myself to 30 lashings for using viral ) when it gained critical mass and also had a movie tie in created for it.

Re: Never mind Samsung...

The OEM's could release timely updates if they would stop screwing with the UI and underlying components that they have to upgrade for each release.
