I think I'm going to stick with 7 and then jump straight to 10 as I expect users will find the transition from 7 to 10 easier than 7 to 8.1. Plus, it means I'll only have two OSs to support (7 and 10) rather than three (7, 8.1, 10).

At this point definitely a good plan. Windows 10 is not far away and looks like it is going to be a really good release.

I will be updating my Fedora 20 development server as soon as Fedora 21 is available.

It does work great. I have small hands and love that I can do that and have the bigger phone.

Having to put in IP's doesn't allow for roaming users.

It can be done by extension, so some extensions are locked and some can roam. You can lock to IP blocks as well, so roaming just within regions.

Are you less worried about this because of the IP Tables AJ mentioned you wrote?

You should see this thing. It's extensive.

Interesting. I agree with Scott. Azure is the Windows platform, and things like Rackspace are more the Linux side.

Itanium was, and really still is, a pretty solid system. Incredibly per thread performance and massive cache. You can run Windows on them with zero memory - because the entire OS can operate out of cache! It is really just the price and lack of available operating systems that got them. If the chips were only twice the price of a top end Xeon or Operton and if Linux was broadly available on it, even from just a single major vendor, it would make a huge difference.

That really sucks. Two in one week, this isn't going to help private space travel any.

Update on the Antares Rocket- http://www.iflscience.com/space/operator-blew-antares-rocket-deliberately
It got blown up deliberately when it was discovered it wouldn't make orbit.

I guess I don't know why large distributions are using Systemd if it is pretty much universally reviled by the community.

Gnome requires it going forward.

But because of the nature of something like this, it's better served as a class action lawsuit - though that does take a lot of startup capital on the side of the law firm.

I guess I just parroted you, lol.

Hey this puts me in good company 🙂

No browser supports HTML5 completely correctly. Granted there are ones that do it better than others.

Partially because the final spec is just one day old. But in general, all HTML support is always just "really close." The closer the better, and that is what they generally compete over.

Agreed - and as we all know, until recently MS/IE just used to do their own thing, but now they seem to be at least trying to play better.

As far back as IE7 there has always been extra code snippets that will have to be added to deal with browser inconsistencies with HTML, XHTML and CSS. Most often MS was last to the party and only if you add proprietary coding.

Nice

My understanding was that just as many of the vulnerabilities came from the fact that Microsoft released their source to China in order to get into their market in the first place. I forget where I heard that but I could be wrong.

You guys are the only ones who seem to have issues with Android. I've never had issues with Android and productivity.

We are far from the only ones and you are very far from a business use case for your devices.

I used Android devices to do pretty much all the same stuff Danielle has done when I was at NTG. I never had issues.

@Dashrender Yes, that can be done.

I use it this way because URLquery can, subjectively speaking, take a while if there are a lot of relay links (I found one site that had over 500 calls to other sites just by following one link), so I start by decoding the short URL to check where it's going. If I've never heard of it or I'm still suspicious, then it's off to URLquery.

Did you see that in the US news today they said that "... doctor who got ebola...".

@Brett-at-ioSafe Better late than never.
