Unveiled on September 30, 2014, it is scheduled to be released in late 2015.First hinted at in April 2014 at the Build Conference, Windows 10 aims to address shortcomings in the user interface introduced by Windows 8 by improving the user experience for non-touchscreen devices (such as desktop computers and laptops), including a revival of the Start menu seen in Windows 7, a virtual desktop system, and the ability to run Windows Store apps within windows on the desktop as well as in full-screen mode. Windows 10 will be available for desktops and laptops, and it has been announced it will be used on tablets, smartphones, other embedded Windows products and also the XboxOne. In July 2014, Microsoft's new CEO Satya Nadella explained that the company was planning to "streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system for screens of all sizes," unifying Windows, Windows Phone, and Windows Embedded around a common architecture and a unified application ecosystem. However, Nadella stated that these internal changes would not have any effect on how the operating systems are marketed and sold.

Many of these printers end up getting funded and eventually produced, while many also fall through the cracks, never to live up to the hopes and dreams of their creators. We have seen some pretty incredible projects come to fruition over the years, but few, if any, have been as interesting, and almost unbelievable as a recent project launched this week by a Cedar Park, Texas man on Indiegogo. Steven Middleton, a mechanical and materials engineer, with a background in complex electro-mechanical systems, has launched a crowdfunding project, seeking $25,000 for the full scale production of Pocket3DPrinter. The 3D printer, which is not much larger than an Apple iPad, can literally fold up and fit in someone’s pocket. Constructed out of machined aluminum, with a tempered glass print bed, the Pocket3DPrinter uses a combination of two popular additive technologies. It prints in a similar fashion as a typical FDM machine such as a MakerBot Replicator, however, instead of using molten plastic released from a scorching hot extruder, it uses photosensitive resin. Like you would see in typical stereolithography-based 3D printer, a UV LED, is placed at the tip if the printing arm. As soon as the resin is released, it is cured by the light. This means that the machine can fold up and be placed back into a pocket or a briefcase without the need to cool down. General specifications of this machine which comes in two different sizes: Printer Technology: SLA, Cures photosensitive resin Build Envelope: 6” X 6” X 5” or 8” X 8” X 7” Printer Size When Closed: 1” X 6” X 7” or 1”X 8” X 9” Submitted By KALAIVANI R II B.Sc.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, a branch of the U.S. intelligence community, said in a press release that the agency has embarked on a multi-year research effort called the Cryogenic Computer Complexity program, or C3. Current supercomputing utilizes technology that relies on tens of megawatts and requires large amounts of physical space to house the infrastructure and power and cool the components.C3 hopes to use recent breakthroughs in supercomputing technologies "new families of superconducting logic without static power dissipation and new ideas for energy efficient cryogenic memory" to construct a superconducting supercomputer with "a simplified cooling infrastructure and a greatly reduced footprint.""The power, space, and cooling requirements for current supercomputers based on complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology are becoming unmanageable,", C3 program manager at IARPA. "Computers based on superconducting logic integrated with new kinds of cryogenic memory will allow expansion of current computing facilities while staying within space and energy budgets, and may enable supercomputer development beyond the exascale, FLOPS, or Floating Point Operations per Second, is the measurement of a computer's performance. An exaFLOP is a billion billion (or one quintillion) calculations per second. Submitted By KEERTHIKA.C II - B.Sc.

I see no difference at all in any features. The hidden tricks and fixes I discussed two weeks ago still apply. I can even reconfirm the sticking Caps Lock/Num Lock problem.There was one patch applied to the old 9879, KB 3019269, which according to a tweet from Gabe Aul only fix a 0xAB blue screen for some build 9879 users. Aul had tweeted earlier that Microsoft would "make a couple of additional fixes" to build 9879, but it isn't clear if any of those fixes made it into the new version. If you would like to perform a clean install of the consumer (not Enterprise) version of 9879, Microsoft has provided downloadable ISOs for English (United States and United Kingdom), Chinese (Simplified), and Portuguese (Brazil). The product key which you will need for an ISO install is NKJFK-GPHP7-G8C3J-P6JXR-HQRJR.

FreeBSD Core Team FreeBSD Professional OpenZFS Developer Services and Support Covered in this presentation OpenZFS Challenges Changing What does the Past, Present, Facing FreeBSD’s future hold for Future OpenZFS Upstream OpenZFS? The Evolution of ZFS ● ZFS was originally developed at Sun Microsystems starting in 2001, and open sourced under the CDDL license in 2005 ● Oracle bought Sun in 2010, and close sourced further work ● illumos, a fork of the last open source version of Solaris became the new upstream for work on ZFS ● ZFS was ported to many platforms, including FreeBSD in 2007 and Linux in 2008. The OpenZFS project was founded to coordinate development across platforms. OpenZFS ● The original plan for OpenZFS was a single common repository where the OS independent code would live and be tested ● Each OS would pull in this repo and maintain local glue bits ● However, the effort required to maintain a repo that would not be directly used by any of the consumers was too great ● The “repo of record” became a copy of the illumos repo, pull requests were carried through illumos’ RTI by Matt’s team ● FreeBSD tracked this repo very closely, commit by commit Platforms ● OpenZFS is now available on almost every platform ○ illumos (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, SmartOS, DilOS, Tribblix) ■ FreeBSD (FreeNAS, XigmaNAS, TrueOS, pfSense, etc) ● NetBSD ■ ZFS-on-Linux (Ubuntu, Gentoo, Proxmox, OviOS) ● Mac OS X (https://openzfsonosx.org/) ● Windows (https://openzfsonwindows.org/) ● OSv Divergence ● Each different platform’s version of ZFS started to diverge ● OpenZFS replaced the old “pool version number” with “Feature Flags”, since features would land in different orders ● Bugs were fixed in one repo and not necessarily upstreamed or communicated to other platform’s could apply the same fix ● Each camp did their development within their own community, and other communities might not be aware of duplicate efforts, etc.

    Fork Yeah! The Rise & Development of illumos Bryan Cantrill VP, Engineering [email protected] @bcantrill WTF is illumos? • An open source descendant of OpenSolaris • ...which itself was a branch of Solaris Nevada • ...which was the name of the release after Solaris 10 • ...and was open but is now closed • ...and is itself a descendant of Solaris 2.x • ...but it can all be called “SunOS 5.x” • ...but not “SunOS 4.x” — thatʼs different • Letʼs start at (or rather, near) the beginning... SunOS: A peopleʼs history • In the early 1990s, after a painful transition to Solaris, much of the SunOS 4.x engineering talent had left • Problems compounded by the adoption of an immature SCM, the Network Software Environment (NSE) • The engineers revolted: Larry McVoy developed a much simpler variant of NSE called NSElite (ancestor to git) • Using NSElite (and later, TeamWare), Roger Faulkner, Tim Marsland, Joe Kowalski and Jeff Bonwick led a sufficiently parallelized development effort to produce Solaris 2.3, “the first version that worked” • ...but with Solaris 2.4, management took over day-to- day operations of the release, and quality slipped again Solaris 2.5: Do or die • Solaris 2.5 absolutely had to get it right — Sun had new hardware, the UltraSPARC-I, that depended on it • To assure quality, the engineers “took over,” with Bonwick installed as the gatekeeper • Bonwick granted authority to “rip it out if itʼs broken" — an early BDFL model, and a template for later generations of engineering leadership • Solaris 2.5 shipped on schedule and at quality

    INCORPORATING THE DIGITAL COMMONS DIGITAL THE INCORPORATING INCORPORATING THE CDSMS DIGITAL COMMONS he concept of ‘the commons’ has been used as a framework to understand resources shared by a community rather than a private BENJAMIN J. BIRKINBINE T entity, and it has also inspired social movements working against the enclosure of public goods and resources. One such resource is free (libre) and open source software (FLOSS). FLOSS emerged as an alternative to proprietary software in the 1980s. However, both the products and production processes of FLOSS have become incorporated into capitalist INCORPORATING THE production. For example, Red Hat, Inc. is a large publicly traded company whose business model relies entirely on free software, and IBM, Intel, Cisco, Samsung, Google are some of the largest contributors to Linux, the DIGITAL COMMONS open-source operating system.
