I have seen more Linux crashed than windows crashes from XP on. However the stability is really based on the hardware and drivers more than the actuall OS now adays, having running windows on good hardware and Linux on cheap hardware isn't really a fair test. But compared to the mess of the DOS based windows 3.1, 95, 98, ME. It is rather stable.
The most successful FOSS projects, are infrastructure based projects. Linux, Apache, Libraries... These general purpose tools, so a lot of people can use them to do different things. However when you get further up and too specialized apps they will normally not do do well as FOSS because they are still complex to build however they do not have the wide use age. Thus if you need to make the product succeed you need a model where you need to pay for development.
John Paul II was elected pope at and earlier age and some would say electing a younger pope, means having a pope for a long time. Now the younger pope may be more of a reformist... However he will stay in power for so long, that his reforms will become old, and backwards. Having older popes with a gradual changes could be more productive.
The big issues is that us Western Cultures have in terms of Sex Rights. (Woman's Rights, Abortion, Gay Marriage, Contraceptives) Are fairly new (40 or so years old) A younger pope may address these issues... However The way he addresses these issue will stay the same for the next 40-50 years. By that point culture would have changes where that method would seem unheard of. Having an older pope who will last 5-15 years means every new pope will gradually put in new changes. In some ways is like having continual obsoleteness in your policy. However sometimes a popular idea at the time turns out to be be a bad idea.
For example in the United States Bill Clinton Signed the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy. This at the time was actually considered to be pro-Gay bill. Where it prevent the military from trying to find gay people to kick out. However over time and culture has changed further, the Don't Ask Don't Tell was considered to be anti-Gay and needed to be repealed. If we get a young Pope, he may come up with an appropriate compromise solution at the time, then by the time he dies or resigns, the policy is completely outside the change in our values.
As I stated, there is a limit. With the freedom of the press that means we have a high limit. However just posting classified documents unedited is crossing it. However the step of republishing already leaked documents is in bounds.
So you would prefer news that is reaffirmation for atheists about how they can feel better about themselves and rationalize their idiotic beliefs in the face of narrow examples from a vocal minority.
The NYT would probably play by the rules for handling classified material. At best they would filter it our and post the most useful information in it. The simple truth is, if you are in the press there is a limit you can annoy the people you are publishing about.
Except for the fact, that circumstances means it is safer for you to speed then to go under the limit, as well it is difficult to drive exactly at the limit. If you go too slow you anger the people behind you, then they will tailgate you. Yes, if they hit you they are responsible, but I would prefer not to get hit at all. So I would normally up my speed past the limit to keep a safe distance away from them.
You cannot make a policy and assume that everyone will play by the rules. And a strict ticket system where there isn't a person as a witness to determine if there was a good reason to break the rule, then it isn't justice, it is just tax collection.
Clones are just as good as an identical twin. Only possible separated by age.
It is not like Sci-Fi where you have a body ready to load your consciousness in so you can live forever. It would be a Unique Human Being with just happens to have the same genetic code, but would be a different person.
A lot of the times they will get results back that the Dr. Needs to explain. You get a blood test for HIV and other checks too. You get your responce back in real time and see that you are positive for one of those tests. The person may go and panic, before the return visit, where the Dr will go. Well you don't have HIV, however you have High Cholesterol.
Also there are often personal notes that may need to be cleaned up such as the person is hard to deal with, or may be drug seeking.
As well there is a problem with the Dr. Just trying to keep his good name. Anyone can say that he did a bad job, but under HIPAA the Dr. cannot defend his practice. Unless it is in an expensive law suit. So if the patient has the medical record they can nit pick and point out problems, make a big deal about it, while ignoring other details that could explain their work.
The price tag isn't part of your Medical Record. However you do get a lit of Procedures which you may be able to cross reference to see what the price of them are... However you normally get the price when they send you the EOB (Explanation of Benifits)
It depends. People don't like paying for metered services. They would prefer to pay more for unlimited, even if the metered service will be less for their normal use.
Even if you get the first bit free, it doesn't mean people will be comfortable with it.
The Open Source Community needs innovators, Just as long as those innovations follow the the traditional Unix model of the 1970's.
There is a good number of Open Source supporters who main goal is to keep computing complex and difficult, so they can feel good about the hours of learning they did to operate these systems, only to find that on an other system that process that takes a day can be done in one click.
Yes I do like Linux and Unix, and I think it is great for Servers and Embedded systems, where it does a few things and does it well. However for the desktop we need to do a lot of crazy things all the time. That is where Macs and Windows excels. If you are working in IT and you are doing your job right, everyday needs to be different. Linux can handle all the routine stuff because it is excellent at automating processes. However for your desktop you will be doing those odd ball cannot automate stuff, because you will only be doing it once. In that case you need a system that is good at that.
Microsoft is just starting to make cross hardware platform applications and development. So we have decades of legacy software that depends on the x86 architecture.
Back in the 90's when Java Was becoming Popular, Microsoft put an end to that, and gave us.NET that runs slightly faster than Java but only works with windows on x86 and didn't put any effort in making cross platform, trying to keep a hold on the market. If apps could start working cross OS's and Hardware platforms then people will no longer want Windows, or more to the point, they could choose not to use windows.
Outside of online tracking they found between the times of 6:00 - 9:00 there is a sales influx of beer and dipers at the same store. There is a mountain of stats that can track you in many different areas.
Sometimes a company produces something that isn't fun to make. And you will need to be sure someone puts the time into the stuff that no one really wants to do. Without management, you could get a case where the not-so-fun stuff gets set aside, until it is too late.
The real question why are we so fascinated with Jobs even after he died. He made mistakes just like everyone else. That said, I expect the original iPad that took years of development needed to be the slightly larger size as to support the equipment of the time to meet the price. After it was released, and the year of R&D the other companies took the iPad as a model and was able to incorporate the newer technology thus being able to make a smaller model.
Apple will need to defend their original plans, as well not sacrifice their iPod Touch/iPhone designs.
Was job wrong... No he sold a boat load of these things. However as time went on peoples desires had change. I think the iPad if it started small may not have been so hot, as people were looking for bigger screens at the time.
Back in the 80's PC were popular in a configuration where the monitor sat on top of the CPU. Then it went to towers, in the 90's was the old design wrong? No, it was that people needed to use the floppy disks much more and needed access to the CPU all the time. Then with bigger hard drives it went to something you could interact less with. So a tower you can put under your desk was preferable.
2.02% isn't that big of a number. What percentage of resources did steam put into their Linux version? I am expecting more than 2.02%. Linux desktop use has been stuck between 1% - 3% for decades. With steam pushing so strongly with advertising and social media buzz on sites like slashdot, that have a stong Linux community. That number isn't surprising And it really isn't that good.
You are saying we need to put a grip like a hand gun on it in the bottom right (or left) corner so you can hold it. Swipe an arch with your thumb and have all the text in a semi arch keyboard near the corner. Then we can have a 20" screen for our phone?

Keep in mind all the carbon expelled to produce foods especially foods that make us fat.
What they are not telling us, is the government knows the sun will go out soon. So we need non-solar based energy.
I have had no problems with windows 8 myself. I find it works wonderful.
I have seen more Linux crashed than windows crashes from XP on.

Yea, It isn't like other countries have to pay Tax for their services. If the DR. is over charging their customers everyone pays for it.

Ok...
Legacy Games.
If you have been computing you may have a collection of PC base games, that you don't want to give up right away.
Windows, Word, Excel, and Games.
Microsoft is just starting to make cross hardware platform applications and development. So we have decades of legacy software that depends on the x86 architecture.

Can it work elsewhere... Yes. Everywhere... No.
