You're lucky you don't have to work with that everyday. Even though M$ has office port on mac, it doesn't serve any purpose than a viewer since it doesn't guarantee the end-result documents like PDF does (even the font/text looks different, especially for asian languages).
I went back to Windows the day I realized I couldn't do anything serious for work but surfing the web on Linux or Mac, all else has to be done inside VM, so the existence of a different host OS becomes actually pointless.
Linux could have great potential for gaming, however, unlike Mac which still has very terrible driver support as recent as two years ago.
You don't have more games on Max OS/X, and the performance isn't better, not to mention OS/X has to be (for legal reasons) installed on Mac machines, which are prone to overheat since they come with the original crapper heat-sink and you cannot replace it.
As a desktop it's just as usable or unusable as Linux, because you cannot run Windows applications on it directly and that's all that matters.
That is great, but only applies to companies. In school it's better to learn as much as possible and its an ideal place to learn how to code without using an IDE.
Hah, another old school coders who believes the only purpose of IDE is to automatic build process.
Stupid students forced to use notepad or stupid IDEs (ex: TurboC the garbage, we still have that!) are the main reason of completely messed up development environment and lack of discipline and standardization, and then they enter companies where the elder developers are just as ignorant of such things, and end up making messed up products and source code despite of their talent and potentials.
Part of automation is not about saving you time, but to enforce rules and conventions, and keep quality of source code above the minimum level which most people wouldn't bother to keep otherwise. It could be as simple as reformatting all your code to a fixed style upon saving of file, or checking of code for misspelling, inconsistent naming convention or obviously illogical operations which usually come out when you don't read copy-n-paste code seriously or in a rush to write something.
Saving you the trouble from writing make/build file is also useful at keeping people from making inconsistent custom scripts which they don't even care about, since these are unimportant. They usually just copy&paste those things from other places and make minor modification, messing up the entire structure and making it unmaintainable.
PS: We're NOT talking about open-source devs who would waste days or weeks perfecting every small things. You know how people work.
Real gamers use either AMD or nVIDIA cards, even on laptops. And they already have official support offering comparable performance to Windows versions.
Increasing a retard's IQ from 10 to 12 doesn't make him any smarter in real world.
The whole point of systemd is NOT to improve what you're already running NOW, but to pave the way for FUTURE possibilities - what you couldn't have done yet due to the lack of it.
There are a number of things that architecture like systemd's could be found very useful, more on complicated application servers and their developers (tomcat, mono and a number of FastCGI-like providers and their dependencies like memcached) and ordinary users (applications as services; IME and desktop widgets). If they do it well, people would definitely find more uses of it. If it's bad, at worst it ends up like svchost.exe.
You're like a guy who complains learning to pilot ships is overcomplicated and pointless because you never need any vehicle other than bikes to go where you want.
Not since the day you stopping changing for better and looking for better things. You cling on the past, you don't have any better visions for things to come or any idea for future.
Your UNIX philosophy doesn't have ACL or system policies for fine-grained security control, or DRI to allow real gaming and accelerated video playback and capture, or the component-based design which all modern desktop systems base on, or even the capability to support PnP and USB devices and instant changing of multi-monitor setup in X.
Your UNIX philosophy sucks yet you cannot see it, because you still hide in the basement doing creepy network stuff in front of 3 CRTs with the original xterm.
After a hundred years people in frozen caves will break tears hearing stories of how their ancestors once had great heaters, capable of heating the entire earth! But they dumped all these because it hurts their precious earth and lovely innocent animals!
Our local e-commerce can deliver stuff within 6-24 hours at little or zero cost, direct shipping to home or shipping to 7-11 stores which are everywhere, and they allow you to pay cash upon the arrival of purchased items instead of via credit-card, which is not too popular here.
Amazon wouldn't make it unless they cooperate with local shipping networks, which are already taken by local e-commerce companies.
If you close an app that has no window left and therefore no status to preserve, you can still 'switch' it back by starting it again. It's no different except when you keep an app running it has to occupy RAM or swap. It's NOT slow to restart an app on mac if it's on the cache, which is automatic depending on how much RAM you have and what you do recently.
It hangs very often due to insufficient memory and paging. OS/X doesn't close the applications when you close their last windows, instead just keep everything in the bar at the bottom. It's like stupid memory leak over time because nobody would bother to check what apps are close and what are not, since they're all invisible.
To make the problem worse, Mac Mini doesn't come with a HDD light so you can't know whether it's accessing disk or not.
The average smartphone users are just like PC users. They cannot understand that AV scanning is only useful because a lot of malware authors want their works to be found and recognized, because they're doing it for fun.
Emacs was one of the very first things to understand what you code, to be able to do semantic highlighting and real refactoring, and also the very first to have what you call "Language Injections" in IntelliJ. But these were largely left untouched for like 10 years, already dead when I was learning it, and today all these are nothing more than proof of concept and parts of its glorious history that might worth a place in museum.
Until the core developers have better vision of text editor more than a text editor, it's dead.
And since when society has been known to be forgiving ? On the contrary society is quite harsh and unforgiving. Combine that with a memory which goes forvever and you got a NASTY piece of disaster, transforming a youth of generations which is a tiome of discovery and pushing the limit, in a trap which cost you a lot because of that google memory never stops.
A society which does not forget would be a harsh society.
All the more reasons the governments should try to fix everyone's stupid attitude, starting from themselves. Blinding people and hiding facts do not solve the root of problem - they only suppress it.
I do not want that for my children or grand children. Do you ?

No need of that. You become smarter when others are made dumber!
and for humans.

It's not tourism unless you mean tour to hell, that'd be almost certain.
I'm however also certain that I don't want to crawl on this tiny poor earth forever. We deserve this entire universe and beyond.
Who would pay for the cleanup? And how would you purpose to ask developing countries to restrain themselves?
You do realize people would have started doing it long ago if it's seen as affordable?
Like, early Christianity community in Judea?
You're NOT getting it.

Please go f*** yourself and die to save Linux.
more logical and more fun for sure. Bible writers sucked at making stories.
Nope. The trick is to convince your followers and customers to be positive, for that to happen you need to appear extremely positive.
Yes, and you can go back to live in stone age.

Shipping and payment methods matter a lot.
Our local e-commerce can deliver stuff within 6-24 hours at little or zero cost, direct shipping to home or shipping to 7-11 stores which are everywhere, and they allow you to pay cash upon the arrival of purchased items instead of via credit-card, which is not too popular here.

I fail to understand your reasoning.
If you close an app that has no window left and therefore no status to preserve, you can still 'switch' it back by starting it again. It's no different except when you keep an app running it has to occupy RAM or swap. It's NOT slow to restart an app on mac if it's on the cache, which is automatic depending on how much RAM you have and what you do recently.

To make the problem worse, Mac Mini doesn't come with a HDD light so you can't know whether it's accessing disk or not.
People always speak of equality and cooperation when they're weaker, because they don't need law of the jungle yet.
Which seem rather pointless since every big companies do all three of them.
40 millions doesn't seem to cross any boundary?
Unless the project still attracts new users right now, there is no way you could possibly find anyone interested in coding a 20-years-old project.
Just publish everything on github and forget it.

It couldn't.

I don't think we will have any future.
and it is stupid that a small error without much consequence ruin your life.
If it's indeed a small error, surely you'd still find acceptance from some people, if not forgiven by all. It's for others to decide, not you.
What will EU do next? Wipe out memory of criminals from their victims?
