That's a bad example, open is an irregular verb. If you take a regular verb like "manage", then you have "is file managed" and "manage file", which are indeed different.
Actually, from my experience, it's the other way around: native speakers treat English grammar as a black box, while non-native speakers actually understand its rules. That might be because other languages have more advanced grammar and non-natives feel like they need to map grammar rules between languages, or because non-natives learned English while being older and more educated.
For example, I wouldn't expect an average English native speaker to know about moods or cases reliably unless they've studied Latin. A language like French has 8 tenses just for the indicative mood and quite a few other tenses for 6 other moods, and German has declensions for 4 cases. Add to that also the fact that you can have 2, 3, or 4 genders, that of course there are groups of verbs which are conjugated differently, and you can clearly see that grammar in other European languages is not as trivial as in English.
I hope you chose a motherboard and chip combination that supports IOMMU as well. Though this might not matter too much if you're only launching Linux guests.
You need to add/PAE to the booting options or Windows XP will not have PAE support enabled. Of course each application is still limited to 3GB, PAE just means that you can have 3GB per process.
If you're hooked on such bad games, you have more serious issues to deal with anyway. Did you not get educated on what good video games are during the 80s and 90s?
What is more ram or more powerful hardware going to help you with? The set of things you can do with this device is limited. The hardware they provide is enough to do whatever they provide.
Android is a mess based on Java that their acquired from another company. ChromeOS is an innovative operative system built by the research division at Google, using the same technology as Google Chrome, the world's most popular web browser.
Last I checked none of the Linux desktops have good support for very high-definition displays. You'll either end up with very small unreadable text or badly engrossed text looking like shit.

The problem is that Ubuntu fell into disgrace since 12.04. Before that it was indeed a very cool OS that could have taken over the desktop market. The whole ordeal is just sad.
But Nokia didn't even try to make Meego fly. And it still was more successful than their Windows phones despite not having spent a single dollar on marketing.
Ubuntu phone can presumably run any application for Debian armel. That's tens of thousands of high-quality open-source applications. That compares very favorably to the thousand ad-riddled crapware you have on Android.
Cross-platform GUI toolkits are not limited by the common denominator. All of them (save for wxwidgets) paint all of their widgets themselves. They just have a theme that makes it look like Windows applications.
Why is the summary talking of this as if it were the past? Of course programs are still written in text editors. Few people use IDEs, since they have scalability problems and usually interact badly with complex toolchains or build systems...
But if you were to use an IDE, Visual Studio is definitely a bad idea. On top of only working with a very sub-par compiler, it's also terribly slow and inflexible.
First, I was exaggerating, as is customary of discussion on Internet forums. It is not a big deal at all.
What I meant to say is that mathematics are taught not because they're going to be necessary in your future jobs, but because learning mathematics trains yourself to a certain way of doing work rigorously and logically, which will be valuable in any field.

Even in France, which is supposed to be very good, I still have a very unreliable connection.
I blame bad cabling.
I used to work on a gateway for IPISDN translation of audio and video calls.
I had no idea this shit (and it really is shit) was so expensive.
I guess if the clients were paying that much per month, then it didn't really matter if the price of our product was so ridiculously high.
I'm sorry, I just don't see the link between third person and controllers.
Most TPS games are still better with a keyboard/mouse combo.
You realize you can easily run pirated copies of games, DLCs included, on an xbox 360?
If you're hooked on such bad games, you have more serious issues to deal with anyway.
Did you not get educated on what good video games are during the 80s and 90s?
That was sarcasm.
Photoshop 5.0 is from 1998.
It looks like a laptop.
Any laptop looks like any other, except from Thinkpads which are functional rather than shiny.
You're seriously buying computers from Acer? You should know better.

Yes, it's almost as good as Photoshop 5.0!

Surely you realize earning $2,000 and $200,000 per year lead to vastly different lifestyles.
