Amazon has announced what it is calling AWS Snowmobile .  The name, is no doubt, building off its current AWS Snowball service, and it's taking the notion of physically transporting data both seriously and big time. Amazon has designed a system for moving data that includes trucks, cameras, and encryption that customers can use to move absolutely super-colossal volumes of data to its cloud services.  The company has done the math, and given the enormity of the numbers they're using, it is faster to copy files to mobile media and move it over the road than to copy it directly over the wire. The term sneakernet is a tongue-in-cheek colloquialism for a method of moving data around.  At one point copying files onto diskettes or CDs in order to bring them from computer to computer was just how it was done.  Fast networks and a reliance on Wi-Fi makes the practice look antiquated, to say the least.

For whatever reason you may want to, it's possible to download macOS system disk images ( DMG files). After Apple discontinued distributing new versions of, what was then known as OS X , on DVD, it made system images available from the App Store.  The DMGs can be found by: Open the App Store Select the Purchased "tab" Locate the system of interest Download Once the huge download has completed, you should be able to find the DMG in the Applications folder.

According to the chart listed on the NetBeans Release Roadmap , version 8.2 was supposed to ship in September.  The anticipated release date in the Release Overview section was "end of September."  It was a few days late, but it's here now ! It's great news!  And users should be eager to start using the new goodness like PHP 7 and ECMAScript 2015 (ES6).  However, Windows users may have an extra step in getting the installer working. The bug was first reported in October of 2015. "An error occurred while verifying bundled JVM" on Windows Server 2012 R2 The issue has a screen capture of the error message. Comment 7 holds the key to getting the installer up and running. Use the command line to launch the installer. Use the --javahome option to point to a valid Java installation. Example C:\> \Users\USERNAME\Downloads                        [wrap]     \netbeans-8.2-php-windows-x64.exe                 [wrap]     --javahome "C:\P

Unintended input is already an issue with computing devices.  A finger rests a little hard on a mouse button, or a lazy finger movement swipes across a control on the screen of a phone.  Perhaps with enough time, Apple 's 3D Touch will add a new element of mistaken input.  That is, "clicking" instead of touching. 3D Touch is the brand name Apple has given to the concept of pushing in to the screen of your device to provide input to the system.  This means that an onscreen control in iOS can now take a minimum of three forms of interaction.  Those being:  touch, long touch, and now a "push." The screens in the Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus have the ability to sense pressure.  This, when coupled with haptic feedback is used to create the illusion of a button push.  In 2008, BlackBerry , then called Research in Motion, had a similar concept with its SurePress system in the BlackBerry Storm . There's no reason to think that the 3D Touch system isn't g

It may be unfair to single-out Ubuntu in this issue, since it may also be an issue with other distributions as well.  Regardless, it is 2016 and it seems noteworthy that the annoying "Not enough free disk space" error during regular updates is still a thing. In the faint chance that there are those who are unaware of this scenario, this is it.  The Software Updater application gathers the next round of updates.  Upon application, the following error message is encountered. The error suggests running apt-get clean to resolve the issue. The error suggests running the clean option against the apt-get command, which seems to be something of a red herring, as it does nothing.  Instead, the following will take care of things. From the command line: dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image This will list all the current kernels that are hogging up the /boot directory. Run the following to remove unused kernel packages. sudo apt-get purge UNUSED-KERNEL There a
