Like anything else, the stupid and unskilled will kill themselves off, leaving behind a stronger more fit population capable of handling such conditions..
That's the most idiotic thing to be said on the topic. The stupid and the unskilled will end up killing other people who were doing just fine.
In current usage that is probably right. But at least give some acknowledgement to classical Latin, in which virii would, indeed, be the plural of virus. I've never figured out why we use the Latin word but refuse to use its Latin plural.
Why would there ever need to be a nod to Latin for an entirely English word? One virus, many viruses. Done.
Now the other problem with the question is that the very premise is flawed. Only Apple (and a brief experiment at IBM) ever used skeumorphic UIs in the first place. Microsoft never did, and Metro/Windows 8 is less skeumorphic than anything that's ever been seen before. So... if you like them use Apple products. If not, use products from every other vendor.
There are a shit load of skeumorphic Windows programs out there. And how else would you describe Microsoft Bob?
The biggest problem, IMO, is that Apple had a bunch of programs that were normal, then they went and fucked them up by turning them into skeumorphs. It sucks, it's stupid, and utterly pointless.
A lot of evidence (internal designs, the Night Ridder, StarTrek PADD, 2001 device, etc.) was excluded
I should fucking hope so. Making a movie or demo video of with a bunch of special effects is hardly the same thing as making an actual real-life device that works and can be bought down at the store.
By the same standards we judged OBL, Lance Armstrong is guilty as a motherfucker. He should be grateful he doesn't receive a visit from the navy SEALS.
Hey, Lance just died after going to the moon, which is a damn sight cooler than most people will ever do in their lives. Give him a break! (RIP)
Did you check the wages as well? Prices for lots of things are higher in Canada than the US, for example, because for the longest time our dollar was only 85% of the $US, and our wages were higher.
I mean, it's not like someone somewhere just said "Hey! Let's charge more here than in the US!" and the world colluded on the prices. It's more complicated than just looking at the $US to your currency exchange rate.
Really? - What if a parent needs to contact a student?
The old method of calling the administration office and have them page the student is both costly, disruptive to both class and administration, and often involves the student talking while standing right next to an administration employee, which is an obvious invasion of privacy.
Holy fucking balls. How did the world survive before the invention of cell phones?/me rolls eyes
Interesting perspective. I'm a hiker and I'd love to hike Mars. All these photos are tantalizing, to imagine some of the great vistas available, which only a robot can see for the present.
Some day the Sierra Club will be trying to protect areas of the planet, to keep open and undeveloped.
They did "flee" : the small cities and towns. Places like Thunder Bay, Ontario, have to pay new doctors 2x or more than the old ones who retire, because new doctors all want to live in the big cities. That is the Canadian health crisis.
I did that when I signed up for my first online banking account way back when. Of course, since I didn't use "real" answers, I had to write them down somewhere. Then I lost that notebook. I signed in recently and of course couldn't remember the fake answers I'd given! So, again, somewhat pointless.
This is, BTW, why the Death Star blowing up Alderaan into pieces in Star Wars is a load of crap - you can see rather solid pieces of matter flying away from the explosion, but the scale doesn't match.
Or, you know, it was a sci-fi fantasy movie made in the 1970s and they did what the technology allowed.

There are bamboo bike frames, go nuts.
There's "gardening leave" which is effectively the same thing.

I know the title is ridiculous, but everything about this scam henge on it
Isn't that the one where the Druids promised life eternal for moving a bunch of 500 ton rocks around?

Good device.
Will use again later.
Nah, they could just keep a bunch of old Trinitrons in the back for displays. Those things are tanks.

Windows 3 got somewhere, and Windows 95 and NT blew OS X out of the water
Mac OS X didn't even exist until 2000. WTF are you talking about?

The article in full is a very interesting argument for why we will all regret our eagerness to embrace the "walled garden".
Has everyone forgotten the days when your computer actually belonged to you? The days before computing was more than just shopping?
Do you own your PS3 or your Xbox 360?
The PS3 and XBOX 360 are not computers; neither were the Atari 2600 or Intellevision. What exactly was your point?
In order to know which vaccines my son should get, I had to essentially become and expert in each vaccine.
And where did you obtain this expertise? How many experiments did you do do verify your hypothesis?
Did you check the wages as well? Prices for lots of things are higher in Canada than the US, for example, because for the longest time our dollar was only 85% of the $US, and our wages were higher.

I'm more worried about DMK beating my Tempest high score again!

You might even say,
they want to arrest its development!

BeOS was a cute tech demo back in the day of 120MHz PPC604 processors. That's about all I got out of it.
Vinegar and soya sauce aren't drugs that affect the CNS?
(Belts are always black, by the way)
No. Belts match shoes: brown shoes, brown belt. Black shoes, brown belt. For guys anyway.
