Every human has a belief system. My belief system is grounded in science, but it still takes an incredible amount of faith on my part. I have no direct personal proof that the sun is a giant ball of nuclear fire, i have to take it on faith that the scientific consensus is 'right'. It is easier to accept this consensus when they show me how they came to their conclusions and how i can repeat their experiments and see it for myself. Even easier when they invite to prove them wrong using the similar methods.
Linux is living NOW. More people are running Linux now then ever before in human history. Alienware is selling Linux desktops. Steam is running on Linux.
Its a start, but Metro still shits all over workflows. Until i can disable their trojan horse, its a no sale. IF they go the 'OSX gatekeeper' route of CHOICE, ill consider a Win 8 system.
NO its not. It is a minefield that only intrepid netizens should attempt to access. I dont even look at TPB outside of a Virtual Machine, it is that toxic.
Itunes is shit. I have it on mac and PC and its shit. Its overly bloated, and file handling is AWFUL. Sometimes i just want to drop a file on my ipad, not full sync/backup etc.
Because we have americans who have masters degrees that can take that job. It amazes me who people who werent born here feel they have a right to come and go as they please and any hinderance is 'stupid' and 'doesnt make sense'.
You wont be determining your speed in your automated mercedes, the ROAD will. Autonomous cars will all be controlled BY THE ROAD itself. You wont be allowed to make any piloting decisions besides destination.
THAT is a horrible UX decision. Whoever thought that was a good idea should be whipped. Until the computer is making all the decisions, I will be making all the decisions and dont second guess me. I dont mind braking systems that act in emergencies to correct a slide. I dont need a reminder about my turn signal and I am pretty fastidious about using it. When i dont use it, it is for good reason.
Yes the RAID system works, but the way windows handles transferring files SUCKS, especially if you are doing it via GUI. Has nothing to do with bias. I would never trust a windows machine to act as final storage for my critical files.
I liked it up until you have windows managing a RAID. Get a RAID NAS running Linux. It seems odd to RAID up a couple of drives just to let windows mess them up. I suggest a Synology ds212. If you are really serious build a ZFS rig with snapshots.
Of the 30 Xbox games I have, only about 8 of them work on Xbox360. THats how i view this issue, as a back-compat problem. Both Sony and Microsoft have paid lip service to back-compat but Steam on Linux is supposed to somehow magically do everything. Its going to take time, but more AAA titles WILL be coming to Linux.
Always-on is absolutely necessary for them. They make WAY more money by forcing everyone to trade privacy for functionality. Everything else is completely secondary.
Has a full array of card readers on the front, Epson RX595. I also have a HP 1102W LaserJet for mobiles/AirPrint. The whole system was designed by me to NOT rely on workstations to function.
You can print to file on a flash card and then insert the flash card into my printer that accepts such things. I suppose you could counter with 'well what if there is no USB driver for the flash reader', or 'does the Live CD support your NIC?'.
No one touches my computing equipment, period. If you MUST use my machine you are getting a Linux Live Cd. If you dont like, it, use someone else's resources.
Have you ever experienced a panic attack or other anxiety induced mental state? Its not a wholly rational state of mind. IM not saying there should be no consequence, what I am saying is summary execution as detailed by the OP is WAY over the top considering not all humans are completely rational actors and they can and do say incredibly stupid things under stress. If you dont understand that you are either a robot, or have never been exposed to high levels of anxiety.

Actually, some day it will get to the point where it will cost more in insurance to self-drive.

They are going to have to remove Metro from standard workflows. If they jsut fix the start thing, it will be obvious they learned nothing.

I dont think you understand how many people have no clue how to handle files or navigate a folder hierarchy.
NO its not. It is a minefield that only intrepid netizens should attempt to access. I dont even look at TPB outside of a Virtual Machine, it is that toxic.

Pyrrhic victory. Hardware wise, sure nintendo won, but on the software side (where the real money is) they lost by a landslide.
But socialism......

Culture is being forged on the internet now, not TV.
They cease to exist because they are not viable. Why should ESPN prop up SyFy?
There is no such thing as paid OTA channels in the US. (referring to traditional tower based UHF/VHF, not satellite). Everything is sent in the clear.

And as counterpoint; I bought a 32 GB, class 10 MicroSD card with adapter for $22.19 USD yesterday.
