MS is probably trying to do as Stallman says but I think they will fail. They may "love" Canonical and Ubuntu to death but Linux will continue.
Right now I'm burning in a new laptop for about a month with Win 10 before putting Linux on it and it is very frustrating as so many of the things I do on Linux have less convenient ways to do them on Windows even with the Windows version of the same program I use on Linux.
...he shouted, demanding the imaginary walls around Happy Birthday and I Have A Dream torn down.
Christ, they have you good. You don't even know what you're defending.
The wall around Happy Birthday was torn down because it was already in the public domain and the copyright claims were false. The Author of "I have a Dream" would probably be appalled about how his heirs have used it.
This about the third or fourth of these long winded troll posts now. They look like pre-typed documents scattered with really obvious falsehoods meant as triggers, yet refer Windows 10 so can't be that old. Is it really trolling if you spend almost all of the effort yourself for very little reply, I wonder?
That is exactly what they are. Just copy and paste trolls. Some of them claim to be Visual Basic programmers working on high level stuff NOW when VB hasn't had support for 9 years. Some claim to be VB KERNEL programmers.
In the Stacker case once the court ordered them to stop infringing they released a new version of DOS with the new compression software. They also changed the way such programs loaded and changed the EULA forbidding the reverse engineering of the method. The existing forms of Stacker of course could no longer load. A new version was released by Stacker reverse engineering the loading method and Microsoft promptly sued them and lost the case. The EULA mod was not legal. Stacker won but no longer exists, so who actually won?
The Stacker case is a perfect example of how Microsoft kills other companies.
The Kinsey Report indicates a rate of 10% to 20% gay orientation in the population (for the Kinsey Report, orientation is a scale, not a binary assessment).
On the other hand, the Kinsey Report also says that 8% of men and 3.6% of women have had sex with animals... one of its less popular findings, you could say...
The Kinsey Report when reviewed later was found to have assumed a much higher rate of lieing by those who were gay than really happens in "anonymous" surveys. Allowing for this exaggeration the number came down to about 3-4 % with the same data.
Are they screwed up purely because of being gay or are they screwed up from a lifetime of anti gay conditioning and gay persecution causing them to live in fear?
One day, in the not too distant future, physicists will wake up from their self-imposed stupor and realize that distance is an illusion of the mind. It does not exist. We will develop technologies that will allow us to travel instantly from anywhere to anywhere. Of course, the aliens, if they exist, have figured this out eons ago and regularly visit us without our knowledge.:-)
This is quite common in the industry, the suppliers are still free to do whatever they want with their own data, but they must follow directions from the customer regarding customer data.
Strange. I'm a customer yet companies are allowed to do whatever they like (against my will) with MY DATA.
If Canadian prices are only half, they're really not coming out ahead. American prices are greatly exaggerated by a liberal media hell bent on pushing socialism down your throat.
No. Those numbers come from the U.S. Federal Government.
That's not including the additional value you would add to your home by having a solar roof, and also not calculating increases in electrical costs over the next half-century, and not including any tax credits you may qualify for.
Perhaps you should think about your "non-starter" a bit more. Costs for this tech are likely to decrease, but it's damn near justifying the cost today.
Did you include the increased property taxes due to the increased value of the house?
It isn't a joke. I know that Robert L. Forward (yes a rocket scientist) has proposed it but I don't know if he originated it. The larger outer ring of the sail out masses the inner circle and reflects the laser light from the home base back at the inner circle. The inner lighter part decelerates faster than the outer ring accelerates and enters the system with the outer ring flying off into interstellar space.
I hate to get off-topic on this story but you realize that most of your "big chunk" goes toward the military, veterans, retirees and people too sick to work?
You want to tell which of them they're just being lazy?
The 2.5 billion is for a NEW drug. Many of these high priced drugs for rare diseases are out of patent drugs that are given a new patent which applies only when used to treat the rare disease. The drug development is over and done with.
Yep, you've never actually worked in such an environment, have you? I've seen people making six figures who steal routinely $20 stuff from their employers. I've seen well paid general managers of grocery stores stealing steaks. I've seen IT directors who drive Teslas but who still pocket RAM sticks from the lab.
You'll understand when you start working.
Those same people will tell you they didn't steal anything because they were "perqs" of the job. But let their underlings take a half pencil home and they go berserk. They are the Elites so they have the RIGHT to their perqs. The Peons who work for them have no rights in their eyes.
Yes, and "costs 10x as much to build batteries with 3x the charge as 20% more discharges" (which was my hypothetical scenario) is not economical.
Consider your base vehicle gets 100 miles/charge. 1000 charges will take you 100,000 miles before the battery begins to seriously degrade. With 3 times the charge it would be 300 miles/charge. With 20% more charge cycles that becomes 300 miles x 1200 cycles or 360,000 miles. You might never have to replace the battery before the car is otherwise worn out.
The privacy of the crowd. Someone sitting on the stoop watching people go by is just a people watcher. If he starts following you around ducking around a corner when you look back, he's a stalker.
If he starts making records of everywhere you go, your route there, how long you remain and what purchases you make and who with he is a corporation violating your privacy.
You see in public you don't have an expectation to not be seen. You do have an expectation that you won't be tracked, or at least you used to have before the corporate espionage state took over.

Lead the way.
Troubleshooters often need wide ranging interdisciplinary knowledge.
In some of these H2-B cases, these are actually jobs Americans don't want.
Then it is up to the employers to make the conditions more attractive to workers. .
Abe Lincoln doesn't get to tell us what to do, we don't worship zombies around these parts.
No Christians here then.

People still die in the ER waiting room in Canada. Hospital are knowingly overcrowded and underfunded, but sure, let's perpetuate the myth...
Yet the Canadian life span is longer, Lower infant mortality. No medical bankruptcies. Average health costs/year are about 60% U.S. average.
With the lower infant mortality why don't we hear THINK OF THE CHILDREN when public healthcare comes up?

This is an idea I've been in favor of for years. Thumbs up!

At what point do people get fed up and switch to something else?
Different times for different people. Summer 2007 for me.

Update made it so the keyboard had to be unplugged and plugged back in after typing 2-5 characters.
Update blocked network access.
Update blocked Terminal Software from network access.

In my personal life no more MS products. Can ya guess why? Microsoft can't seem to understand.
They have Stockholm Syndrome and don't know it.
Then he should have left after Snowden. Your friend is a liar and a hypocrite.
Alternately his job has not yet had him doing things like Snowden reported.
