Indeed. Martin Luther knew what he was doing, but Linus was just playing around with making a kernel go ABABABAB and then suddenly people went nuts over it. Linus is no Martin Luther.
I still prefer my automotive analogy. Because manual transmission is a religion, too.
How Ya Gonna Get 'Em Down On The Manual Farm?
Driving Instructor Philip Guo poses a similar question: 'How ya gonna get 'em down on a manual transmission after they've used a slush-box?' Convincing driving students from automatic culture to toss aside decades of advances in transmissions for a stick shift is a tough sell, Guo notes, and one that's made even more difficult when the instructors feel the advantages are self-evident. 'Just waving their arms and shouting "because, because RACECAR!!!" isn't going to cut it,' he advises. Guo's tips for success? 'You need to gently introduce students to why these tools will eventually make them more productive in the long run,' Guo suggests, 'even though there is a steep learning curve at the outset. Start slow, be supportive along the way, and don't disparage the automatic transmissions that they are accustomed to using, no matter how limited you think those tools are. Bridge the two cultures.'"
It's too bad that Apple doesn't have a desktop OS and a mobile OS that they could combine like this. Oh wait, they do. And they both even use the same kernel.
On 4chan, the problem is often with people who insist on using a name to stick out from the crowd and insist on pseudonymity (aka "namefags") instead of the default of true anonymity. I even came up with a really cool tripcode, but I don't use it because it just feels wrong to use one.
I'm sorry, but how could you miss the Macintosh IIfx? That went for 9-12K in 1990-1992, and as it predated the Quadra, the money conversion will be even worse.
I actually have one that I got at a thrift store for like 20 bucks. Why? BECAUSE IIFX DOORSTOP!

I an disturbed by just how few words I had to change there.
In other words, it's like when a cable company's contract with a local TV station is up. For three months you get end-of-the-world warnings about LOSING YOUR KZZZ TV CHANNEL!!!1!!11ONE~!!1 (as though it were not possible to watch it any other way but through the officially blessed One True Cable Box*), but at the last minute, a new contract is signed, just in time. (Or after maybe one token day of black-out just to remind the plebes that their fate is entirely at the mercy of CocksWeener CableCo.)
*not that most people would even know how to change channels without the box knowing what channels were available -- between the few channels you can get from an antenna is a sucking void that will pull you into a world of static inside your TV set if you change to an unused channel by accident! "They're heeeeeere!"
Also think about what girls are doing in high school. They've got social cliques that keep them from getting involved nerdy things due to punishment by their own peers. They don't need boys to keep them from doing nerdy things.
Because some phones are made with a "panic mode" where smashing a bunch of random buttons causes the phone to automatically dial 911. Of course your question was specifically about smartphones, which seems somewhat unlikely. You're more likely to butt-crack-the-screen.
That also makes hard to just pop into the cutting end for a peek around the corner. You have to go through an airlock to a pressurized environment. If you stay in the front area for more than a few minutes you will need to spend a few hours in a decompression chamber.
Actually they did think of that. It's replacing a double-decker viaduct highway along the shoreline. One which was found to have weaknesses that make it not where you would want to be during an earthquake. You're also a lot more likely to be drowned in an open-air highway viaduct along the shore than in an underground tunnel. It's that little matter of the wave going horizontally, and not down through yards thick of earth.
If only there was some way you could find out where it crashed, what the generated code looked like, etc. This could be a great way to find bugs in a program. You could call it a Great Detector of Bugs.
Because they can see that a lot of BC moved from A to B (because all transactions are public) and they can guess that B probably belongs to you or someone you know very well?
Internet video was limited by the bandwidth of the day, which was clearly going to improve with time. Bitcoin is designed to be harder to make new bitcoins as time passes, more than enough so to offset the pace of technology.

But what about gravy and curd cheese, eh?

I guess with all the global warming conferences that happened during cold snaps, this just got too boringly regular and isn't news anymore.
Hypothesis: global warming scientists attract cold weather. This clearly means we need more of them!
And when winter comes, the gorillas will simply freeze to death.

And nothing of value was lost.

I hate to break the news to you, but Ohio is out-doing Texas.

Ballmer would have to throw it really hard.

stupid.
Apparently they were wrong. It seems you can polish a turd after all.

I can name a couple: Jurassic Park III is a great BOFH story. And TRON is about corporate politics.
