    Not cheesy, stupid.

    If you system runs, then you are fine, regardless of where tech is at. Worse case you can't get support through the vendor.
    trying to 'ride the wave' is how IT expenses get out of hand.

    " Windows went into the workplace was because people were familiar with it at home."
    that is backwards. People where using windows and computers in the office work place well before they had them at home.
    And people would bring word and excel home from work so they could work from home.

    Yes, of course it is. The customer should always say when something happens they don't like or think it shoold be changed. How else do group know what their customers like?

    OK, I need to address this.
    Some events are really huge. I don't have a problem with them appearing on /., and the Boston bombing is of that magnitude.

    HOWEVER, using 'Stuff that matters' to any story means /. might as well be CNN.
    The follow up to the story isn't needed on /., it's covered everywhere.

    By the working, it's 'stuff that matters' in regards to the 'news for nerds'.

    Those only come about relatively recently as everyone once to jump no the 'nerds are cool' bandwagon.

    They are not nerds.

    Of 'dork' became popular in the media that would all be calling them selves [mything] dorks.

    They are are leeches and hangers on, they are people who need to identify with the cool thing in the media, they are people we could use a lot less of.

    "Islam produces a lot of radicals"
    no more the Christians.

    " their modus operandi (e.g. IED-style device) "
    that's the MO of any Guerella fighter as well.

    " so the odds are people will assume it was Islamist radicals. "
    true, but it has nothing to do with actual global facts.
    No different then 100 years ago when something bad happened they just blamed random black guy for all their troubles.

    "They shouldn't have said anything about the description of the suspects unless they were sure they were right "
    I agree.

    "so as not to distract anyone from finding the culprits."
    or, you know, imprison the wrong person.

    That's a pretty weak list, for example it's missing the terrorist attacks committed by the US. Blowing up neighborhoods and killing 100, 000 civilians isn't terror, then nothing is.

    You are a bigot, you are ignorant of the thing you hate(surprise), and you are the antithesis of a peaceful society.

    You are no different them people who wanted black to remain slaves, women to remain property, and take rights away from gay couples.
