Sarah Lambert, from the National Autistic Society, said: "It's encouraging to see a global company like Microsoft recognise the untapped potential of adults with autism.

"Many may have strengths such as accuracy, a good eye for detail and reliability, which can benefit all sorts of businesses, not just the technology industry. However, at the moment, just 15% of adults with autism in the UK are in full-time employment. Simple adjustments, like making job interviews more accessible and providing support to help those in work understand the 'unwritten rules' of the workplace can unlock the potential of a whole section of society."

Bill Gates said "Nobody will ever need more than 640 kilobytes of RAM". Proof all this bloated operating systems add zero functionality

It is all a scam, you could play videos just fine on old computers with 4 megahertz processors and 640 kilobytes of RAM.

Now you have quadzillion gigahertz processors and 8 trillion megabytes of rAM and they barely run a text editor.

it is all a scam, to sell you software and computers. It is all for them, not you. idiotic capitalism at it's finest.

The government had 950mhz processors in 1965 and we didn't get that until 35 years later..

Coding now is plugging into some else's poorly documented black box of code, all the way down to the OS.

The move now is to force creation data objects that contains all your data, and simply plug it into a UI. This makes it a snap to mine everyone's data, without having to figure out what the fields contain. That's the WHY. It also allows people who can't actually code "to code".

As a developer, you will rarely find a black box that does exactly what your users want, without having to hand code. As number of black boxes increase, the ability to find said black box decreases. This is why this situation is actually getting worse.

It goes back to Titor, in a few generations (or sooner), everyone that knew how stuff actually works will be dead. They will be stuck with examining complex external behavior, and trying to work it out from that.
 
More helpful Chrome add ons.



Two of twelve.

[h=2]5. Save everything to your Drive with one click[/h]The aptly named Save to Google Drive lets you save web-based content, like pages, blocks of text, pictures, and more, straight to your Google drive with one convenient click. Perfect for students who plan on straight up plagiarizing their next paper with web articles, but want to do so with even less effort.

[h=2]12. Block every annoying ad[/h]There's a smorgasbord of ad blocking add-ons in the Google store, but for my money, uBlock Origin wins 'Best in Show.' It does the job spectacularly, gives you meaningful data on what exactly is being blocked (from where), and operates using a big, oversized power button that you click. And literally everyone in the world loves clicking on big, oversized buttons. It's a win-win. Except for advertisers, I guess.

I want to get it, but will wait until after a bunch of people that are a whole lot smarter than me try it first.

I hate 8 enough to be first
 
Just hoping they learned their lesson and to give us what we like not what they think we like.

8 much like Vista is such a turd that microshaft decided that 9 would be son of turd and abandoned it shortly after the release of 8.1

All bathroom sinks should drain into the holding tank to be used to flush, same with shower/bath water. Seriously, we need to start coming up with smarter ways to reuse that water that just flows down the pipes.

I have not paid for Windows software ever. All saftware it free if you know where to look.
A better program is Ubuntu. But its not as combatable. Big + though...its always free and more secure in many ways. Most cell phones use a type of unix(ubuntu) not microsoft. FYI
 
Windows 10 PC squeezed inside Quanta's Compute Plug



A Taiwanese company has created a plug-like computer capable of running Microsoft's forthcoming Windows 10 operating system. Quanta's Compute Plug is designed to be pushed directly into a power socket, has an HDMI port for TV connections and two USB sockets.

It is not the first such device. US chipmaker Marvell has promoted a range of similarly formed PCs since 2009. But they are designed to work with the less processor-intensive Ubuntu OS.

I noticed a 'Get Windows 10' button appeared on my task bar last night after downloading MS updates.

Anything I should know before upgrading from 8.1?

Hmmmmmm
