You're an idiot for being arrogant and stupid enough to assume that I don't know about the water cycle, and for ignoring "back to where it was", WHICH IS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT.
That's a fair point about data usage. My wife's Nexus 5 tends to use just over 100MB of data per month, which of course drives us up to the second tier of charges.
I switched from Sprint to Ting, a Sprint MVNO that does strict PAYGO. $6/mo per connected device and charges for talk, text, and data based solely on usage in a given month; if I talk less next month my bill goes down, if I use more data it goes up.
My phone bill for two devices is around half per month what Sprint charged us.
Idiot. Grandparent's got an ultrabook. Ultrabooks haven't parallel ports and often enough don't have ExpressCard slots either. USB->parallel converters are uniformly shit, and aside from Thunderbolt in the high-end models, Ultrabooks only have USB and video-out ports.
If grandparent had a different sort of laptop that had an ExpressCard slot, he could find a better-quality adapter such as this one: http://www.startech.com/Cards-... and then he could keep his old tank of a printer with nary a complaint.
but he doesn't, so he's going to be overall better-served to upgrade printers. Fuck off yourself, twat.
If that's too hard to remember, you can put the command into a file called "halt.bat" or similar, move it to somewhere in your PATH, and then type "halt" in your terminal window.
In all seriousness, it's past time to retire your old parallel-port printers. Those USB adapters are bandaids and don't work well to begin with no matter what operating system you're using.
I've been running 8.1 on my work computer since it came out. It's really not bad with Classic Shell installed to give it a sane interface again. I never even see the Start Screen, by choice.
Most of the pushback I've seen so far is neckbeards saying "you don't need to take a class, n00b, download an ISO and Virtualbox and just teach yourself.", not outside haters.
As a previous poster explained, features. It's more important to have the features you want, and (cheating aside) games aren't really a major target for security breaches, so they're not going to spend the time and money to make sure the sound library is mathematically correct.
Not really. Portal 2 doesn't bat an eye when I have Windows enforce the NX bit or leave UAC on. It's more that Windows doesn't have anything like SELinux, and AIUI most Linux users that aren't on RHEL or CentOS don't use SELinux anyway, so it wouldn't have turned up right away in testing.
Besides, SELinux is serious black magic and consequently there aren't many people who know how to correctly configure it.
Absolutely. If Grandma doesn't need to run Hallmark Greeting Card Creator or gin up new stitches for her programmable sewing machine, Chrome OS is an excellent nigh-unbreakable choice./My/ grandmother does those things, so she's stuck with Windows, but my father gets by pretty well on his Chromebook. I used my Cr-48 as a daily driver for 2.5 years until the hinges broke, as a living room Web terminal.

Yes, you're an idiot.
Your logical fallacy is personal incredulity.

You might have heard that California's having a drought lately. Idiot.
How do you propose getting potable water back to where it was?

Or, you know, people could have been smart enough to not irrigate crops in a desert. Nice attempt at counting political coup, though.

Because all modern USB-compatible printers are $100 pieces of shit, obviously. Idiot.

Linux-only. SELinux does a lot more than DEP.

Dammit slashcode.

remove the space between : and // above.
Or MATE for a more GNOME 2.xx look:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install mate-archive-keyring

I put on my YORP and wizard hat.
Someone really felt the need to explain what the asteroid belt is.
I've got a Limbsavers rollover butt pad, so I don't feel a thing anymore. Beats the hell out of my M44's steel buttplate.
