Giving more power to big pharma doesn't sound like a better alternative. At least politicians can be removed. Large abusive corps don't go away as easily.
If the kids had been victims of neglect and the authorities had done nothing they would have been crucified and heads would've rolled so I'm not surprised that some people err on the side of caution. You can't use your judgement or common sense in roles like that anymore so by the book it is.
No but then my Spectrum was relatively cheap and from a company notorious for poor build quality and yet it still works fine. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a very expensive computer from a supposed high-quality manufacturer to still be working perfectly after a mere 9 years.
I've just started up my 1986 ZX Spectrum after 20 years and loaded a couple of games. It's still working fine as far as I can tell and it's had a hard life in the past.
Replacing microUSB in favour of a better standard is not the same as getting rid of something that works fine in favour of something that causes the user unnecessary inconvenience. I have a 6s. I won't be buying a later model due to that idiocy.
I believe it. I'm a happy Apple customer too. The idea from the religious lunatic above that you should be satisfied with 1 year's reliability is what bugs me.
It's a handy word that perfectly describes the religious insanity of Apple Cultists who must defend everything that the almighty fruit does, no matter how crappy that might be.
I think you might have replied to the wrong comment. I'm nearly 50 with about 25 years of experience and I'm not quite sure why writing loads of code in my spare time is considered mandatory. Set me a coding test if you want some reassurance beyond still being in the industry in a completely different technology than the one I started in.
Every surgeon does this? I'd imagine that a graphic designer working on public advertising campaigns would have an easier job building a portfolio than a dev working on internal corporate systems. I'm not averse to working and studying in my spare time because sometimes you don't get time to fully understand tech when people are shouting at you to get stuff done, however I have other things in my life as well and I find it unreasonable that in addition to all the hours I work and the free time spend studying I have to maintain some projects on Github as well.
They're like the worst of the upper classes combined with the fervour of religious fanatics. Preaching diversity while all thinking the same and looking down on their fellow man. The 21st century left is now a bunch of arrogant rich people which is why ordinary people are rejecting it.
How many other professional jobs have this expectation that people to do it in their spare time as well. You don't see heart surgeons doing operations in their spare time but for some reason a dev has to work long hours at a day job and then spend their spare time doing more dev. That doesn't seem very healthy to me.
You "when to collage". You didn't study English then. "Just" start a business if you want to work even longer hours for less money. Good plan. Perhaps you meant a contracting business where it's just like working for assholes in a regular job but without any of those inconvenient benefits or rights.

What if you need access to the internet to do your job.
You refuse to pay the market rate and then complain you can't find good people.?
Either stop lying to look cool or fucking Google it bellend.
Windows 10 has virtual desktops
Oh yeah hermits had a great life *rolleyes*
Why does a supposed leftist use a homophobic slur?

Why the fuck is there always a hipster-wannabe prick on here pretending not to know something.
Of course as an IT professional you'd have no idea that Chrome is the most widely used browser Mr Hipster.
Fuck off.
Blah blah blah yes you're so cool and edgy. Maybe it's a hipster-wannabe thing.

But they can't figure out how to turn off "smart" punctuation by default.
Does that get round Netflix's VPN blocking?
You Apple fanbois are insane. The lifetime of the laptop should be at least 5 years especially at the amount of money Apple charge.
