In an advance that helps pave the way for next-generation electronics and computing technologies -- and possibly paper-thin gadgets -- scientists have developed a way to chemically assemble transistors and circuits that are only a few atoms thick. Thus leading to laptops you can lose when they slip between the sofa cushions

The answer to this question about Wi-Fi is surprisingly complicated Is anything ever?
|
|
|
|

My home wifi is finally fast enough. I bought a USB 2 adapter so my laptop can communicate on 5 Ghz channels. The communication devices I found too slow were 300 baud modems. You don't see those around anymore.

Ah, you're a brave and patient man. I complain when I get buffering on videos when I'm out in the garage and yard.

You mean most people don't use impedance matched RF cables to connect the antenna ports of their wifi card to the antenna ports of their router?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft has patched a security vulnerability found in every supported version of Windows, which if exploited could allow an attacker to take over a system. What kind of world do we live in if we can't even trust our printer drivers?

And the patch is the W10 nag screen.

Who wants even MORE FREE EBOOKS and resources this year? If so, you’ve come to the right place as I’m once again kicking off my annual FREE MICROSOFT EBOOK GIVEAWAY extravaganza! Whoa. Lay off the caps lock, dude.
SEO ain't a river in Egypt. Still, good deal.

When I see MICROSOFT and FREE in same sentence, I wonder where is the catch 
Just think about the W10 free upgrade, they have such a heavy hand that the catch is mandatory.

The catch is many are moderately obsolescent. But if the systems you work with are moderately obsolescent, then the books are bang on.

The programming sandbox, seen through the eyes of devs, slightly misses the mark. Is that supposed to be an insult, or compliment?

Maybe both? Playgrounds are neat, and they can be fun and useful when doing exploratory programming. Using Clojure with Light Table is similar. But in both cases, putting together a simple application that accomplishes useful business or personal tasks is more difficult than it was using HyperCard in 1987.
It's funny; I do web development every day, and I even like most of the tools I use. When I stop and really think about it, though, it kind of feels like I'm a caveman working with sticks and stones when I compare front end web development to the rapid development that was possible (and easy) with HyperCard and classic VB 20+ years ago.

Microsoft is making its renamed Windows 10 Enterprise version available as a subscription that's available for $84 per user per year and purchasable directly and through reseller partners. Stopping the nagging? Priceless.
Two times 42... coincidence?

An average Windows edition was about $150 (most). Let say you use it for 5 years...That's make it $30...
I can't see W10 3 times as good as W7...
At some point they will milk the dead cow...

Enterprise edition was closer to $320, although you could only buy it through volume licensing with a software assurance package.

Plus, if you upgraded to a new version every 2-3 years, you'd end up paying another $220 within that five year span. That would work out at somewhere close to $108/year.
It won't be a good fit for everyone, but it's certainly not three times the price.

I don't know that site, but a 5 license package was at $680 like 5 years ago...Directly from Microsoft (Israel)...

Was that for Enterprise / Ultimate edition?

Blimey, that's good. I hope you bought a few packs.

Actually I found that I need no enterprise at all (despite what I thought before) so today I'm back to professional...
