Hearing human speech

Working around lip smacking moneys all day ... now they hear human speech ... me thinks he needs to take a mental health day.

I remember being invited to a series of high level management meetings ... lot of lip smacking ... even thought I could make out a bit of intelligent, human grade, speech, from time to time ... I took a day off ... and never went back to those level of meetings again. Problem solved.

Re: I doubt it

The biggest failure point on a Z is the idiots running loose around it.

I asked a console operator on an Amdahl 470 what the button labelled IPL was for. He said "IDIOTS PUSH LOAD".

Linux

Re: Not the same as Linux x86

Won't make much difference if you are running open source apps. Most FOSS apps are available across architectures.

But if you insist on running Proprietary x86 apps, you shouldn't be reading this article anyway ... go back to your ball and chain.

Why is it ...

People feel like Google advice.

In less than a year Android has skyrocketed to the top ... passing Apple, RIM, Microsoft and the rest ... forking Android must be a Microsoft idea.

The only thing that needs FORKING is Microsoft and RIM ... they are DONE ... pass the potatoes.
