@scottalanmiller i'm not saying that this is going to fix all the problems of the service line because that's not gonna happen but still it doesn't have to be revolutionary it just needs to be affixed device

@dafyre

Windows 98 boot disk creates a RAM disk to store all its files which also happens to be my first experience with RAM disk. You can also copy the need files off the boot disk to create your own RAM disk in windows.

I've been using RAM disks since 1987 on the Commodore Amiga where we would use it for all kinds of things. Our memory was many times the size of our storage making it a no-brainer. Especially as the storage was insanely slow floppies.

Cool, Irrelevant tech.

Hardly relevant, there are a lot of these systems out there and they need to be serviced and replaced.

Fixed.

No, as shown by @Dashrender The other day the song cost of an existing system can still outweigh the cost of replacement

Song cost, eh? 😛

Yes, the Sunk cost for me saved me about $12K over upgrading to FreePBX.

Well you've heard the impression "he got it for a song", right?

@momurda said in YouTube TV Goes Live Today in Five US Cities:

More than the cost of Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix combined per month. And you have to watch youtube commercials in addition to the broadcasters commercials.

It's to compete with Sling, which costs about the same.

The reason to pay for Sling too is for Sports. The only thing keeping cable packages alive right now

I think that YouTube TV is handling that, isn't it?

Not all

@travisdh1 said in Some Android Devices Susceptible to Wifi Hack:

@mlnews Huh, the news story I saw on that sounded like anything using a Broadcom chipset was vulnerable, which means a lot more devices than just Android and Apple.

Anything using a specific chipset. Not sure if anything outside of phones uses that one.

All of Rochester would be considered in the border zone according to that map.

I guess I get to deal with random search and seizures by CBP agents.

Not legally.

I know, just in regards to the way that CBP agents are portrayed.

@travisdh1 Basically.

For me it is what installed without incident. No issues at all on my Asus RoG that nothing else would install on. He isn't my first pick, but it is quite adequate.

FTFY

And it's what she said. 😛

for direct experience (5 year development of small/medium apps in python) I can say that the qt approach is far superior.
I've used briefly gtk2, wxwidgets and I've settled with qt.

The signal/slot stuff per se is a winner!

We had a thread yesterday.

Missed it. Been busy at work.

That is just annoying. . . honestly. I hope the big parties counter sue and win.

Screw Louisiana Tech

They focus on game dev, not hardware dev.

That's debatable.

true.

IMO, they fail to do enough with their IP. But their RPG games tend to be well developed solid titles.

This new Zelda game is supposed to be fantastic. I wasn't a big fan of Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess so I'm not sure I would really like this one.

@RojoLoco I wasn't trying to go down that route, @scottalanmiller went there.

I agree, he's broken mentally and likely needs help. The rational for discussing it is I'm sure these kinds of things will occur more often as AI advances.

Which begs the question, can you marry property?
