I haven't used bittorrent to download anything other than Linux ISOs in 3 years. I buy books on Kindle, music on a paid Spotify account, games on Steam, and movies on Blu-Ray. So, no. I don't just reserve my empathy for my fellow IT workers. If companies provide better service than the pirates, it kills all urge to pirate.
SOME devices got the updates almost immediately. The N4 did have to wait a while (it was a reasonable wait though), but my N7 got the update very quickly. That said, the Nexus 9 STILL doesn't have 5.1, which is kind of inexcusable.
MUCH easier to make a pivot table than request a Cognos report be built. In a company with a 3 man IT department (such as ours), you've got to prioritize. If the users can make their own pivot tables, it saves everybody a lot of headache.
Better yet, Chicago (or rather Brookfield, to be more precise) has Galloping Ghost. A REAL arcade of the old-school style. One of, if not the, largest arcades in the country.
I don't. Even if you don't like the Rift now that Facebook has bought Oculus, the only reason Sony's VR headset is being released is to jump on the hype train. The Rift is necessary to provide the competition that is needed to drive the VR market. At the very least until another well funded company announces an upcoming headset. In any case, provided that Facebook stays hands-off on the Rift, it looks like a very compelling product.
They do, but the laser record players are very expensive. Also, IIRC the record has to be very clean because any dirt is much more noticeable than it would be on a traditional turntable.
The reason IIRC, was that a few of the bigger hosting companies (GoDaddy for one), use IIS for hosted sites. Since quite a few of these are parked pages, it inflates IIS's numbers.
There's also this thing called YouTube, which has allowed many creatives to get their work out into the public and, most germane to this article, monetized.
STFU about linux support in mainstream titles. It's just not going to happen no matter how much you wish it.
Now that CryEngine, Source, and Unity are all on Linux, it just might happen. Anything that lowers the barrier to entry for the developers is a good thing, and increases the possibility for AAA games on Linux. We already have one AAA title on Linux, Metro Last Light.
I hate let's play guys, they are all hyperactive frustrated kids.
Certainly not all. I could give you a big list of them that aren't. Sure Pewdie and Toby are hyperactive (though they're both old enough to not be called kids), but there are many others that are not.
It's already happened: want to upload Youtube videos? You have to subscribe to Google+ and its invasive TOS. Don't want G+? You have to use Vimeo or Dailymotion or other inferior online video services. And because Google has grown so massive, they have the means to drive Vimeo and Dailymotion out of business for good.
Vimeo isn't inferior, it just has a smaller userbase. It could be argued it has a different purpose as well, as there are certain kinds of videos (video game let's plays, for instance) that they don't allow on their service. Also, if the service is inferior, maybe they should improve their product, making it easier for them to compete with YouTube.
But he's factually incorrect, that's the point. It doesn't run off of a remote server, it installs to your local machine just like the older versions of Office. It CAN stream from a server during install, but once it's actually installed on your machine it runs locally. I'm assuming it does occasionally check in to insure that it's a legitimate copy, but other than that it's the same as the boxed copies of 2010. I'm not a huge Office fan, and it has plenty of legitimate flaws but it makes no sense to complain about things that aren't true.

If you're in the Chicago area, try this: http://www.gallopingghostarcad... Massive free-play arcade.

Correlation does not equal causation.
Does Linux run on Superdome? I though those were all HP-UX/OpenVMS?
WSUS is free though, right? SCCM is very expensive (especially if you work for a company as tight as mine...)

Forget ecological concerns, the gas mileage alone should make you want to change that. Gas may be coming down in price, but it still ain't that cheap!
Lucky you. Some of us have to do end-user support...

Historically I've really, really disliked the default KDE theme, but I think Plasma 5 looks pretty good. Very clean.
Don't blame me! I voted RC Cola.
Fair enough, but if you get to pull out of funding the Smithsonian, I get to withhold my tax dollars from military spending.

In a multiplayer game yes. They should get perma-banned. In single player I say: cheat on, it hurts no one.
Are you implying that everyone on reddit is white trash? That seems uncalled for.
They do, but the laser record players are very expensive. Also, IIRC the record has to be very clean because any dirt is much more noticeable than it would be on a traditional turntable.
Buying the GOG version? Also, I would assume that the Steam version uses a different licensing system as well.

Then I suggest you get an MRI
That's just like, your opinion, man.
