I fully agree, but I doubt Mexico would win :(

But, since you are from Canada, I think Canada, Mexico and all other sane countries get together and tax Google say 99% of their full revenue (not profit) until they change the name back in the US. No way the Trump owned court system could stop the tax and it would hurt Goggle were it counts. In their pocket book.

Comment Re:BSD (Score 2) 70

Came here to say the same, and AFAIK there are no planns for NetBSD to drop that support.

OpenBSD is there too, but seems the day may come for i386 (32 bit) removal, see:

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openbsd.org%2Fi386.html

Due to the increased usage of OpenBSD/amd64, as well as the age and practicality of most i386 hardware, only easy and critical security fixes are backported to i386.

Comment Upgraded (Score 1) 12

Congratulations, upgraded my workstation, eazy-peezy. OpenBSD has the easiest upgrade process of any UNIX type system I have ever used.

I knew it exists and from what I heard is yahoo is very popular in Japan. My question is "Yahoo has the funds to buy chrome ?".

I would think the price for chrome would be far more than what yahoo could afford.

Comment Any idiot (Score 4, Insightful) 76

US government agencies and Fortune 500 companies are turning to AI to modernize mission-critical systems built on COBOL

Any idiot can do a good job of taking 1 COBOL program and convert it to something else. But putting these multiple converted programs together will always be a big fail. This goes for AI and any language to language conversion

What is needed is people who knows the full business processes to do this, that is what is always missing in these COBOL conversions. No one knows the "why" in these old processes.

For a good modern example, look at all the compaines that failed to implement SAP, if implemented, how it takes years to get it "right".

Using AI will not work anytime soon.

I would mod you up, but I have to figure out what to unblock via noscript to mod you. There are like 30 sites to go through. And I noticed EFF Privacy Badger is blocking 22 sites.

I cannot stand these new changes to Slashdot, myecoming time here is probably not far from ending. Whoever designed this new site need to get an education in usability.
