The OP was talking about people who are working 2-3 jobs and dont have time to cook, and your solution is to take their $500 iPAD and watch pay TV while cooking?!? Talk about a lack of perspective.
The most basic cable packages are like $20/month. or like 4 hours of work at minumum wage a month. $20 isnt going to buy healthful food for a family of 4 for more than a couple days a month.
Most people are going to look at it as something like "I can have two or three days of healthy meals a month, and still eat crap the other 27 days or so, or I can just stick with my crap food, and actually have something to do between my 3 shitty jobs that leave me so tired I cant do anything but sit on a couch"
Or, you could use a pebble that syncs to your smartphone app, which gives you the benefit of not trying to awkwardly look at your arm or try to pull a smartphone out while running.
I gotta say thats a good point. I've been using unity as my UI at work and hadn't thought about the universal application list being missing. Is there something that can be installed to deal with that while still using Unity?
If you are going to claim it sucks, you need to enumerate at least SOME of the reasons you feel that way.
For example, why should a comment need a title if I am reply to a previous comment. If you want to give people a way to change the title easily one, but prepopulate it with Re: PREVIOUS TITLE, and everybody wins.
I remember spending hours trying to get one file to actually send to a friends house via ZMODEM. AOL, or AppleLink Personal Edition if you want to go way way back, was much more accessible.
SSH into internal servers certainly does require a VPN, unless you are exposing port 22 to the internet for every Linux/UNIX box you have. If you have a VPN that operates on certificates like OpenVPN, its not really that much of an inconvenience really. just flip it on once in the morning and be done with it.
You know with time and a pentalobe screwdriver, you can replace the battery with a 3rd party one? What you want is the ability to swap batteries on the fly, which most people don't need or care about.
Quick, I need A black T-Shirt(preferably with an antisocial saying in white block letters), some Mountain Dew(or preferably Jolt Cola), a Carpal Tunnel wrist brace, a desk piled with manuals and CD-R spindles, and a LOT of terminal windows open.
Hmm, looks like I already have the terminal windows part covered........and the black T-Shirt...and the CDR Spindles
My $25k Subaru(in 2003) says premium required, and further says if no premium is available to get the minimum amount of regular to get to a gas station that has premium.
This whole post operates on a narrow definition of Big Data. Big Data could mean, data from the LHC, or data from video analysis, or any number of other things.
Learned AppleBASIC in elementary school from an old comb-bound AppleBASIC manual, then gwBASIC and qBASIC in middle/ early high school, then finally C++ in AP Computer Science senior year of high school, which was actually the first year C++ was the AP language.
A friend of mine from college worked as a developer for well over a year while driving from Seattle to the bottom of South America. They created a website with lots of good info about what they learned here.

I run dual boot Ubuntu and RHEL 6.4 at work with 99% of the time being ubuntu. I use a Dell laptop running OS X 10.9.2 at home.
Its best use is as more of a second display with the phone as the engine.

What about audiobooks or podcasts? Better than a book if you get motion-sick
I think you understimate this crowd somewhat. I'm 32 and I remember that, I'd guess that the majority of people here are at least 32.

Aren't service packs and firmware updates fixes to defective computers/software?
Not necessarily, they are also to add support for new peripherals that didnt exist when something was released.
I imagine its a bit more complicated than that since they are not an US company, and I can find not mention of a US office.
Based on that attitude, I'm sure the holidays are a real treat at your house.

If you play fantasy sports or read the patch they do at least, as well as email I guess
The use of the word "itching" made the mental picture far worse

Crap.
If the implications are that it can be changed by modifying the default settings, its not really hard-coded, is it ?
Good luck getting Oracle to do the same on a 500TB database.

Yo dawg, I heard you like HTTPS
So i made your HTTPS enforce HTTPS
