too bad these games end up being more about your tech than your personal ability
Indeed, let's be totally fair:
- too bad these games are more about your country's wealth than your personal ability
- too bad these games are more about your country's education system than your personal ability
- too bad these games are more about your country's climate than your personal ability
- too bad these games are more about your ancestors genetics than your personal ability ...
systemd is as good as init daemons management system - the problem is how the transition is going to be performed? Hopefully it won't be like the gnome-classic => Unity mess. Init and systemd will both have to be available, giving time to administrators to migrate what could not be automatically transferred and specific applications.
I've never bought an Apple product (and never will)
Never say never...
pretty much anything else (...) I can pre-order it and get it on day of release
When the product is as popular as an iphone - would you like it or no - many people want it the first day and, unless queuing early, you'll have to wait.
and the reason being probably that, in OP's mind, thanks to all new technologies like Google Maps, GPS, Siri and the like, it seems we only have to ask simple requests to obtain a nice result, that, in fact, hides complex operations made servers side.

I didn't say these beta posts are bad. I said Fix it! because it is annoying - whatever the solution is: improve || remove beta./. is a very particular site with no equivalence. Some people want to create a new site, why not. But, as we say, you know what you have, you don't know what you'll get. So, I'd prefer to go for a mediation-solution, where everyone agrees on a strategy to have slashdot back on rails.
I don't know where all of this (beta) thing is going. But this is currently impossible to read a story at/. Not only everyone digresses into "beta", but also no relevant "mod" is performed. I just hope it all gets fixed quickly - whatever the solution is - that starts to be annoying.
"go back" to win 8.1" meaning you're not in the Linux world since long ago. "bing search" well, no need of windows, you can even search from Bing in Linux..
Moreover, when a GUI is released, I'd like it to be tested beforehand. Also, it should come with the basic features any decent GUI has. How come something like Unity can be released, replacing the classic gnome, being a bug nest, missing so obvious needy features. That's beyond me. "tinkering and configuring" is the least of my problems.
Possibly Nadella could bring interesting novelties at MS, thanks to his former position at Sun MS (Microsystems), his cloud work at MS and his Tim Cook look. That seems to be a wise choice.
Thank you for posting this. I've always used Seagate which have had a high success rate in terms of reliability and quietness (unlike some other makers that I won't mention).
This is why when an official entity, like the UK gov, goes for OpenOffice, ie something open, that will push companies to do the same. Little by little, world will tend towards something more standard and open, and the remaining hard MS officers, will have no other choice than migrate to the new standards if they want their docs readable. This is what happened with Internet Explorer, as more and more people went away IE 6-7, pushing MS to do something more compatible. The difference lies into the fact that MS Office is not free, and, more importantly, MS office is for many companies the only blocking reason they can't migrate to something else, Mac or Linux. I'm not saying they would migrate but at least - after MS Office is gone - most of them can.
The best movies I know all come from a book. And most readers are usually the ones who want to see what the book gives on screen (eg LOTR). Thus saying "if the story leaks in a book, nobody will go see it in a theater" is wrong. So, does such leak have a bad impact on the movie success is yet to be proven. With all the media publicity it created (like/.), the leak is probably not so bad for QT (besides, one may wonder why it took Tarantino a week to sue the guy...).

Can Slashdot survive user revolt?

Probably /. expects some people to correlate this snow event with global warming, climate changes etc... Because that storm is rather special..
And a majority of Americans voted, twice, for W
As powerful as lasers may be, a (good) mirror should be enough to perform a "return to sender"...
Ever heard of Christopher Columbus? The one who put a foot first somewhere owns the somewhere.

don't see Steve's Apple doing much listening either
Steve Jobs, also, told us what we want. The difference: he was right in what he chose to offer.

The guy is nothing but a used car salesman
Actually, used software principles salesman. Close enough.
Your post was almost relevant, if at least you'd explain why Elop is better (?)
An indication on Nadella's "rating" from a business perspective will be reflected by the MS share quotation tomorrow.

It doesn't take a Columbo to figure out that when someone refers to Columbo, that person was born the same year TV did.
With all the brainwashes we get from ads, TV, reality shows and political meetings, how could we be "information fuller"?
This.
