How about that they almost went bankrupt and are giving the middle finger to the sector that sustained them during the hard times.
When they crash and burn, I will have no sympathy. And since nothing lasts forever, Apple will crash and burn. Microsoft was once a $400bn company also.
I'm sorry, there is productivity and there is "Me want to play Farmville/whatever".
There has to be 2 tiers of IT policies - developers and users. Developers can manage themselves. Users have to be told that iTunes is not an option.
You haven't worked with ECU's, haven't you? And yes, you can "brick" your car. By bricking the individual systems. And there are a lot of xCU's in a modern car. ECU being the most critical of them.
ECU - Engine Control Unit
There should be no "thinks" in your first statement. IT has to do whatever the users need to do to perform their job. The company always knows what the "user" has to do to perform their job.
Nah... Accuse him of being a pirate(copyright violations are identified as piracy these days) and let the cops shoot him!
OH... Wait! Make him walk the plank! Arghhh...
Do you know how? The Christmas song 12 Days has an add-on in the form of a copyrighted line about the ring... Remind him of that!(If he celebrates Christmas)
Or better yet, find where he stores his private photos and videos and send a DMCA takedown notice. Make it look legit and have something like - in your picture you have X that is there without permission.
Or just block that site completely.... In essence just demonstrate how his life would be affected by the laws.
masses couldn't really afford things like paintings or sculptures
And you are implying that the masses can afford owning movies, paintings and sculptures of significant artistic value? Though, you could get a Van Gogh painting for mere pittance when he was alive, and that was still in the era of patronage.
royalty, wealthy, and churches ended up paying these men and women for their services
Yep, pretty much how I would describe the media conglomerates these days. There is little difference. The masses used to pay the church to be able to touch the holy relics, now the masses pay media conglomerates to view/hear/play something.
If it were a digital chip jar but still patronage, then after earning X million in commission they would release their works as public domain, since the public paid for it handsomely.... You do know that patrons took the full rights to the art pieces when the artists were done, do you?
The truly talented can end up going months between inception and creation.
Then again, you're a troll, so who gives a damn what you think.
Entitled much? Comparing photographers to painters is just ridiculous. The best photos took unmeasurably low number of hours to complete compared to the best paintings. Just like comparing sculptors to painters is ridiculous.
Just because you took 1000's of pictures and two of them look good, don't make you as an artist like a painter that made 100 sketches and took thousand hours to complete a masterpiece.
As long as they don't prioritise one data stream over the other, I'm OK with the total download caps. When they start offering Unlimited Nexflix addon, then you should start worrying.
Not long ago I finished a project in a EU member state govt agency. That DOCX is already a major PITA for the IT support. And the way they work, mostly they don't need any Windows exclusive features.
But I do not like the part where he says "Our budget for this is zero euros", that will not go well.
Maybe what he meant was that they got no explicit budget that says migration to Linux. There might be several options for "funding" though - College/Uni students making code "contributions" for credits(or even part of mandatory coursework), budget for upgrading Windows machines and cuts in other services. That might be just plain accountingspeak that means that on balance the budget for Linux migration is actually 0. Without an inquiry, there is no way of verifying.
Yeah... But you still end up writing 2 different UI implementations that require design considerations and knowledge of the UI to fit in.
Monotouch and Monodroid are in no way interchangeable, beyond C#(or whatever Mono language they can use).
And IBM has no proprietary software? Funny, was the massive friction between Global Business Services and Software Group all in my head for 6 years? BTW: Both divisions produce proprietary software that runs on Linux.
The issue here is that they added results from Google+ into general search and that is it. Because, unless that guy lived under a rock, Google does personalization of searches for a very long time. And come back when they force you to use it... (Because the "forced use" is the keyword there)

Visual/graphics - they are definitely not consumer sector. See FPX

Sorry, when it comes to highly educated engineers and scientists they can easily support their own systems.
There should be no "thinks" in your first statement. IT has to do whatever the users need to do to perform their job. The company always knows what the "user" has to do to perform their job.
No... IT shops have to do what their users need. If you did everything what your users wanted, you'd never get off the support line.
How was it not informative? I informed him of the options he had. There is an option just to shoot him, as well.
Nah... Accuse him of being a pirate(copyright violations are identified as piracy these days) and let the cops shoot him!

Photography is the laziest art form out there...
Except that only version 4.0 is vulnerable. And only GNex and Nexus S have that version deployed by.... Google! So I see an update pretty soon.

Android devices typically have a dedicated back button on their phones.
All android devices have a back button, software or hardware.

LOL!!! I literally woke up my neighbors laughing at the statemented that you can have SwDev in a year...
It's already like that for a long time. Personalized searches is not something new to Google.
To say that Google is "evil" in this case is like saying the late Mother Teresa did what she did for the sake of publicity.
Well.... Then Google is definitely evil.
Ahem... Twitter does not allow indexing of tweets in their public ToS.

You are lucky to live in a country with a great medical system, UK is less so. Though I heard of horror stories from all countries.
