If that were true, the owners wouldn't have sold it. The writing was on the wall: the business model with VMWare offered no growth just a show decline, so they sold it. Broadcom is where software goes to die and they squeeze the rests out of the orange. The last stage is to sell the patents...

@Lee Hutchinson - I apologize for the completely unrelated item, but I already noticed in your article about Babage in the 90s that your wife is quite the babe and has remained so over the past ~30 years. You are a very lucky man

The focus is an occasional, don't hang yourself up on the collaborative point.

It's a shame that on a site dedicated to the art of technology so many see "AI" and feel the need to shout "AI slop". I'd love to see a more differentiated conversation. What ever happened with "cool, new technology!" mindset? I can see how these tools might not be super-useable for the...

I work in an area where people need to think about post-quantum encryption and a point of confusion I run into regularly is the point that Shor's algorithm applies to asymmetric encryption only, not symmetric. It effectively breaks them. Symmetric encryption processes aren't impacted nearly as...

Any evidence on that account would come from highly unethical experiments, so I doubt (and hope) there will never be evidence. Having said that, "everyone is susceptible" is similarly unprovable for that reason.

Thanks for confirming that, I was ready to doubt my own memories - 4.000 kWh is typical for a 4 person family in Germany. I'd really like to know if Lee is operating a data center or if the AC soaks up that kind of electricity.

At this point the alternative is to accept dependency on a nation of idiotic majority and their orange leader. Sorry, I prefer my taxes going to support a European manufacturer. It might take a while to get it in the viability zone (Airbus anyone?), but anything isn't an alternative anymore...

Hindsight is always 20/20 Sorting through a sea of feedback, it's not always easy to see what is relevant and what is just "noise".

As one reviewer of a different car once wrote: it's a great way to get to know your car mechanic.

I appreciate the challenge of dealing with ancient products and a customer base that refuses to move on, but in this, the issue is over 10 years old and Microsoft is slow walking it because it's on-premise and doesn't care about it. Let's put it into perspective: Windows 10 & Windows 11 with...

Unfortunately that's not true - most of those folks already have their vaccines. It's the kids and next generation that is being screwed over.

Depending on the amount paid, this could have gone very well for them - I certainly didn't know they existed before and now I do...

I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you. I would never have suspected this! Pretty much any Russia-linked Spam or Malware "kingpin" grew up learning this stuff with the FSB. Everyone can choose for themselves if they are working on their own bill or just being disavowed. Fact of the matter is that...

Let me tell me what I read: Homo Sapiens must have been the smart one, Neanderthal must have been stupid, therefore any evidence against that is because there were (archeological) "invisible Homo Sapiens". You realize that sounds incredibly loaded, right? Why should one be smarter then the...

The way it's lived in the US, for sure. Conservative means that you don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Let's take Montana and the Coal: according to the National Mining Association, there are 2.237 people employed in mining and indirectly 6.588 people who's jobs are dependent...

That defense works for any Ideology. Communism was never properly implemented! Market Capitalism always leads to better outcomes! Reality is that not every tool is the right one in every situation.

In fact, many Europeans experience Americans as superficial and if they were on drugs or something simply because of the way they communicate and smile. What I have seen of Russians, they feel even West Europeans to be over-polite and superficial. Not that any particular group is that way...

I was thinking exactly that. Lifetime offers can't work no matter what, even if the service would stay exactly the same. Most people are probably aware of that and take it for what is: a stupid marketing campaign. Having said that, I a FAQ is definitely not part of any contact, so I'd be...

I'm sorry, but 10 years is ludicrous. I tend to play many games that are well over 10 years old and my kids play games on the Nintendo classic that I've played in it's original as a kid. At national (or global) scale I can see how this scales to a fairly profitable market and why rights holders...
