I use whatever the hell works. But when someone prevents me from using something that would work, just because it's not the most popular alternative, I tend to get pissed.
I know they don't care about supporting any Linux operating systems, that's what I said. Having worked with nutjob support engineers/management before, the change described in TFS is something I could see them requesting to their bosses, to make support easier (if they can't install it, they can't ask about run time issues), and their bosses passing it down to the hardware engineers.
Since I've no mod points, and couldn't mod this topic anyway... Seconded.
Manufacturers shouldn't be able to tell the users of their hardware what software can be used on their hardware. At most, they should say "there are known issues of this software potentially physical damage." And if I got that, I'd probably reply with "The 80s/early 90s called, they want their computer problems back."
Shrug, plenty of other good hardware vendors out there. Though for a desktop, I've never understood not building your own, if you've got the skill and aren't in a business setting.
Given that RHEL is probably their biggest competator that move could be considered a counter to - I would say you need to put down your anti-ms tinfoil hat, your brain is overheating.
It's probably a support engineer related decision - "We don't want to have to deal with questions/complaints regarding unsupported operating systems that have gotten installed... so we'll prevent them from being installed."
Neither malice or ms-induced maice, but rather just an idiotic solution to an annoying issue that they probably have to periodically deal with.
Glad I don't buy Lenovo. I tend to prefer FreeBSD and Hackintosh'ed as my non MS OS.
I guess I was thinking of a lot of bulk items at the grocery store, where they don't tare it (or provide a scale/label printer so you can tare it yourself).
I wonder how aggressive a remove process for the 'stuck' stuff they measure? Given the amount of stuff stuck in a can or jar from just dumping, vs. scraping it out, there's quite a bit of variability there.
Yes, but the question is, is the packaging included in the measure, especially if it is necessary packaging? Usually, the packaging isn't tared on weighted stuff, and volume stuff tends to measure the volume of the packaging (not the items shipped/bought/etc). So, there are options on measuring or not measuring the data overhead of the transport layers, that could affect price.
That being said, my mom used AT&T. They never got her bill right (always overcharged), and we had to call and they would correct it, but having to do that every month or two sucked. I told that to an AT&T solicitor at my door once, as to why I wasn't interested. Rather than defending his client and get a sale, he responded, with a dismayed and somewhat depressed, "wow... I heard about the same thing from someone just down the street," and moved to the next door. My mom doesn't know anyone on my street other than me, so it seems to me, overcharing is not an uncommon issue with them, and they are just trying to find more clever ways to hide it.
The author of TFS should verify that he's collecting headers, if so, he may have a case.
Oh, I went through those reduced-self-esteem-damaging schools. There's a certain benefit to that, but there's a difference between being too nasty/harsh, coddling, and being fair.
The liberals want coddling, the conservatives want too-harsh, and in reality, the best option is somewhere in the middle.
I keep my old emails, but on my own hardware, not on the server. Were there anything of particular risk, it would be deleted as soon as I didn't need it, but I've not run into that issue, yet.
Agreed. As someone who went through school with severe disabilities (bad vision, an odd hearing issue), and typically surpassed most/all of his classmates, I find such reduction in standards to be idiotic, asinine and down-fucking-right insulting.
If I'm not good enough at something to compete in tests with someone who doesn't have my disabilities, with someone else from a more financially sound background, with someone who is Asian, then I shouldn't get the god damn job.
What next? Reduced vision test requirements for driving, for the visually imparfed? That's just what the world needs, me behind the wheel.
A large number of games I've played from big devs have had OpenGL support. However, they just don't have it on by default, or they require a command line switch to enable it.
I'd argue that only morons will buy Windows 8 RT or Windows 8 on a notebook/desktop (even then there are free 3rd-party downloads to fix the UI screwups, so I wouldn't even say morons). Aside from a few small cosmetic changes, and a few large faux-pas that are easily fixed, it's not really much different from 7 from the UI perspective.
As a tablet OS, (non-RT) it looks like a beef-up of Windows Phone 7, which would actually be rather nice, if it weren't for the limited application pool available (and it the non-RT version doesn't have that limit).
I'm a moderate liberal, but I wouldn't say I hate oil. I would rather say that I would prefer an alternative (def. more in the way of nuclear, the waste, while worse, is more easily contained).
However, I am strongly against drilling for American oil now. I think, when oil starts running really low in other regions, then we should start drilling it. By that point, they'll have exported all their oil at relatively low prices, and we'll be able to export it at much higher prices. It's an investment.
Generally a lot of BSD users don't like the GPL, and getting rid of a GPLed compiler makes them quite happy.
Also, although I've heard a lot about the inner workings of GCC being rather intertwined and convoluted, whereas LLVM is simpler to work with and modify (not sure how true this is).
Voted at 6:30AM. By that point the line was already 5x longer than it had been in the 2008 election, and I was glad to have arrived at 6:00 to the polling center.
Wow.... you live in a very limited world. It must be nice and simple there - how do I get there?
I can install whatever the hell I want on my computer at work. However, to get a good reliable ssh client on an arbitrary tablet/phone, using something HTML5 is quite convenient.
Please, go out and exercise your imagination, don't expect us to do it for you.
What part of "Unlike that person, they don't actually have the option to do so (unless the also spend a lot of money on a car as well...)" did you not grasp? It's not a complex statement.

So... my phone will know when I bang a porn star and then tell all my friends about it?
VINDICATION! BRAGGING RIGHTS! HELL YES!
Oh, wait, I have to manage to get a porn star first? Stupid details.
Interesting.

Yep. And they do.
That's why I go elsewhere.

We put up with it the first time - they did the same thing from XP to Vista (DX 10). Didn't MS give up and port DX10 back to XP anyway?

and the FreeBSD users, we bring it to a bit larger number than that. Probably still only 10s of thousands...
Yes, because people only use the "major" options.
Well, I can't drive, doesn't mean I don't bother to get my state ID renewed.
Your own fault.
Woo-hoo, don't need to change the subject line!

Earlier times with Windows Phone 7, and right now with Windows Phone 8 come to mind.
Also, if you find a site hosting it, that you can trust, it bypasses the issue of potential malware incursions into your mobile platform's app store.
And it provides you with one setup/config interface, regardless of platform.
There are conveniences/advantages to this setup.

did you RTFS? Having a terminal emulator in your browser could be very useful in certain restricted environments you might come across.
Now lets see an X11 implementation :-)
