    No, this is New Here.

    The only business users who can effectively use Chormebooks are ones where no one is working (i.e. kids using Slack).

    Where in my post did I say anything about business users? And nowhere did I say all users would be fine with ChromeOS. Lastly, all those things you mention are application-layer programs which feeds into my point that the user couldn't care less about the OS when its the programs they want to use that matter. The applications drive what OS they use not the other way around. Which is why users are willing to continue to put up with Windows despite many people disliking it.

    All people that use OSS says the code is better looked, all bugs are corrected on the fly....etc....etc.

    That was definitely what is claimed but one only has to look at the OpenSSL and X.Org codebases to know those claims were false. Both are dumpster fires of poorly written, insecure code.

  4. Would you rather that white space had syntactic significance?

    False dillemma. I choose neither.

    Not exactly the same.

    Only through mental gymnastics. It's still forcing me to "engage in commerce" whether I want to or not.

    You don't have to have a driver's license.

    You do if you have to get to your job and there are no publc transportation options. Which is a thing for numerous people. Many people don't have the luxury of exempting themsleves from being able to drive.

    There is no similar way to opt out of healthcare (unless being unemployed actually exempts you - but that's a little more severe).

    Sure there is. You don't buy it and face the fine.

    And states require you to buy liability insurance to obtain a drivers license and to legally drive on public roads. Even in the state of Texas whose AG was one of the biggest whiners about the ACA mandate.

    We now have legal precedent that the feds can force you to engage in commerce against your will.

    So no different to states doing the same thing by requiring you to buy car insurance when you want to obtain a drivers' license. And just lime with the ACA failure to "engage in commerce" will mean you will face fines and license revocation.

    That's supposed to be a selling point?

    Exactly. Nerds need to learn that users care about applications not the OS. It's why so many are fine with ChromeOS despite it being "not real Linux" which is only of concern to dorks.

  10. Re:Government? on What Dropbox Dropping Linux Support Says (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows and macOS both have full drive encryption and both work fine with Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.. Seems your conspiracy falls down pretty easily.

  11. So why do people keep buying iPhones, then? You supposed "influencers" always rail against them but the general public couldn't care less. It's almost as if reality is that no one cares what you whiners think and just buy whatever they want.

  12. Where's the medical diagnosis to show he was mentally ill?

  13. Again missing the point. The statement was to point out how badly the bodies were burned up.

  15. Exactly and this quote was hilarious:

    "I guess I thought we were 'sticking it to the man' when I got on board," Mr. Herman said. "But I think 'the man' had already caught on, and had an exit strategy."

    No shit, sherlock? It's almost as if the whole thing was a massive pump and dump like people who weren't delusional were stating the whole time... I'm sure the Winkelvoss brothers were quite pleased at how much they made from these rubes.

    Cool story, InfoWars tard. BTW you failed to call me a sheeple to complete the trifecta if stupid insults that an Alex Jones follower uses.

  17. But your point is a much stronger ("We are legally required to" is pretty strong!) argument.

    Why would they be required to do so on an iPhone? Or did you not bother to read the summary.

    No, what I do agree with is Alex Jones' Terms of Service of InfoWars:

    If you violate these rules, your posts and/or user name will be deleted.
    Remember: you are a guest here. It is not censorship if you violate the rules and your post is deleted. All civilizations have rules and if you violate them you can expect to be ostracized from the tribe.

    Funny how Alex Jones is being a huge hypocrite when he gets banned from other websites and then claims he's being censorwd.

    I'd do so by typing up a complaint about the service. Being free, or "fee" in this case, does not stop me in any way from doing so.

    Yes and the article addresses that:

    The sec=krb5p option will encrypt NFSv4 traffic in a Kerberos realm, but requiring this infrastructure is inappropriate in hosted environments and is generally far from helpful. Basic access to symmetric cryptography does not and should not mandate such enormous baggage.

    What you quoted was commentary added by the submitter and was not from the article.
