And then there's the story about him & Romero borrowing workstations from their employer (Softdisk) to write games on at home during the weekends;). They really need to make a movie about him & Romero's early days.
Do it. I have 3 of their systems. I have the APU2 (my current router/firewall), an APU1 (setup as my 802.11ac WAP), and an ALIX 2 (setup as my 802.11n WAP). They're all rock solid.
A friend of mine (hey Gabo!) managed to completely shatter a tempered office window at work years ago by throwing a tiny piece of quartz at it. His intention was to get somebody's attention on the other side of it....whoops.
Back in college I worked tech support at the local small town ISP (San Marcos Internet, in San Marcos, TX, if anybody is wondering). It was about as two-bit of an operation as it could be. Although their transfer speeds couldn't come close to what the bigger players in town offered (TWC, Grande Communications), people absolutely LOVED us for the simple reason that we actually cared about our customers, which they found absolutely refreshing compared to the treatment they'd get from the bigger guys. We'd do things like have people bring their computers in so that we could fix all the fucked up things wrong with them (remove viruses, spyware, etc). Eventually they got scooped up by one of the bigger guys (Grande), which really pissed a lot of folks off.
Couldn't that also happen with the physical function keys though? If a new window pops up and gains focus, wouldn't the function key you were in the process of hitting also change it's meaning?
I don't remember it that way at all. I remember thinking how nice the brand new Macs in our computer lab were after upgrading from Apple II's. Then my dad brought home our first home computer (a 486SX, running at 33 MHz with 4 gigs of RAM) and thinking how it felt like a cheap knockoff compared to what my school had.
I think the long-term game for Netflix is probably convincing more studios to make content for it to distribute, and that is disruptive.
To add on to this, I think they're also wanting to get to a point where they have enough of their own original content to strike cross-licensing deals with other studios to distribute their content in exchange for letting them distribute Netflix's.
What if black people were more likely to default on a loan? Would you be OK with charging black people more than white people?
I understand what you're saying, and I understand why people might take various demographic information into account, but you (presumably) wouldn't support making legal random searches on black men, just because one in three end up in jail at some point in their life. We understand at a fundamental level that THAT is wrong.
People should be judged on their worthiness based on what they've done, not how they were born. A loan shouldn't be based on sex or colour.
On a related note, why is it ok for auto insurance companies to charge men more for policies than women?
Developing for Apple is increasingly becoming a pain in the ass. Between their draconian App Store policies and busted-ass development tools (Xcode 8 & Swift 3), I'm seriously considering moving to Android for future mobile projects...
...the point is why the fuck would you pay $2,000 per cpu per year to get a polite "piss off" from Red Hat whenever support is needed because you installed (from source or other) a version or software that is not in their repo.
I can directly attribute this bump in speed in my town (Austin) to Google Fiber. Before Google announced they were coming to Austin, the absolute fastest consumer-grade connection one could get was 50 Mbits, through TWC. As soon as Google mentioned their intentions to enter Austin with their Fiber service, TWC immediately started offering 100, 200, and even 300 Mbit plans, with plans for a 500 Mbit service level on the horizon. AT&T did something similar with their U-Verse service as well. Hell, I can even get these speeds in the next town over (Buda), where Google hasn't even announced they're going to go into. A little competition goes a long way.

Those with the money and/or loudest voice?
If you need RedHat, then it's because you have incompetent tech workers who need a support contract, not because you need "real" Linux.
Or, you run something shitty like Oracle DBMS, where the company will refuse to support you unless you run one of their approved OS's (i.e., Red Hat).

I guess this explains why a lot of adults I know pat themselves on the back for doing what's expected of them (aka, "adulting")?

This is the correct answer.
Only problem is it can not penetrate walls making it essentially line of sight.
That's a good thing.

You millennials have nobody to blame but your own narcissistic asses for this.

Yes! Came here for this comment...first post, not bad.

...We'll have ourselves a ball.
I don't know why they've been targeted "non-technie" communities
It's simple really. The more desirable places to live have a MUCH higher barrier of entry, making it a royal bitch to get into, even for Google.

You don't, you instead use CentOS.
Pretty sweet bandwidth for satellite. What's your latency (ping) like though?
Hah, that made me laugh.
