I don't care what goofy assed naming convention or garish boot/login splash is used as long as the system is stable, fast, configurable, and suited to my needs,
dunno what the radio has to do with it, my "hood" has less people in a square mile than a small apartment complex
I dont have to step outside and deal with a ton of road traffic, I dont have to spend my life surrounded by 4 sides of other people bing assholes
its a simple fact, people in cities are saturated by the annoyances of other people, and its stacked in 3D, just cause your town sucks nuts on traffic and you want to walk an hour to work, is your deal not mine
I dont like to be corralled and herded like cattle
late mid - late 80's not updated but in good condition with of course mechanical upgrades over the years
and shit even out here in the sticks of TN its 1500$ for a mcmansion 2 bedroom apartment... or like 800 bucks a month for morgage + insurance + taxes in escro for a decent 3 bedroom house
rent is not a realistic expectation of property value, its only a realistic expectation of how much a fool will spend to not assume the slightest responsibility
depends, if you want to live in a modest older house without a bunch of updates, and live more than a bike ride from your work, its not that bad... if you want to live in a fresh HGTV mcmansion then yes its very expensive (but again not like the bay area CA expensive)
now I will tell you the traffic is horrible, I had to go to kirkland for a IPC training class last summer, which is the first time I set foot in the area in 10 years, so in 2006 that 20 min drive would have taken about 45min maybe an hour, it took us from airport to Kirkland almost an hour and a half, at 6pm, no wrecks or anything just congestion
it is legacy mode compatibility, I should note my i7 board is for a 3rd gen cpu and was one of the first UEFI motherboards I had seen, so of course mileage may vary
that's what it pretty much does, I dont expect my garage computer to get updates to MSDOS anymore than I expect windows 7 to get updates to exploit the best of my R7 which is in the mail
windows 7 would probably still run just fine on it, maybe it wont, just like MSDOS would probably run just fine on my 3770K.... to a point
yes, yes you can run MSDOS quite happily on any x86 cpu, I actually do it quite often on a amd A2X2 as I like refurbing old computers and sometimes I want to install dos or windows 9x on a machine while its replacement fdd / cd rom is in the mail from ebay
but im not shocked that a older OS doesnt support or take advantage of all the potential of newer hardware, after all the time difference tween the last released offical version and my 2.5GHZ dual core is only 8 years, why doesnt MSDOS use my dual core cpu? why doesnt it work with my sata drives when in "sata" mode, why can't I get my realtek sound card to work?
so why should I be shocked that bleeding edge systems wont be fully supported by a 7 year old OS in the case of 7, or a 3 year old OS that has a smaller fanbase than clippy?
other than tone I agree, it doesnt take much to get IT, there's companies that do nothing BUT IT and since its not a full time need to be there position its not that expensive to have a contractor do it
it may be costly and painful at first as they will have to unfuck your cobbled together by amateurs "network" but once its up and running correctly you wont have very many issues, and if you do, often times they can fix it offsite in a matter of moments
then your generic engineers can do engineering and not have to waste valuable time (ie money) fiddle dicking with your rats nest of crap
As I would imagine a lot of people are not fans either, they are slow, even the current models, the screens are small, which would be ok if their resolution didnt suck, keyboards are hard to type on, and they are heavier than their tablet counterparts

funny I can design half a car including every screw and not use a full 8gig while slashdot is loaded at the same time, quit writing shit
1) ensure nothing will work with eachother, bombard IT with endless complaints that their twinkie app doesnt work with obscure bsd ... ... wait a sec...
2) they will be pawned in a second
3) yes I agree with this, give them a 35lb ailenware with dual geforce 1080's in them, see how far they wander from their desks
4) performance is very important when developing a iphone app
5) see number 1
5 (pt 2?) GIT sucks nuts
6) impossible since you gave them freedom on 1 and 5, snowflake #1 will use irc and snowflake #2 will use irq
7) yes cause no one ever has to develop for MS platforms
8) Bring your own deodorant? if they are not using it before work
9) for playing games, the real truth is every new age developer wants to sit with their ultra book under a shade tree in the company funded zen garden
10) or they could just take scheduled breaks like everyone else
11) see #1, #2 and #5 (pt1) developers cant admin servers, they cant even write decent code 99% of the time
12) yea what is this a company or a daycare
13) my 300$ chair gave me backace's my 40$ chair didn't, money != comfort
14) dont give them deadlines or goals either, see #12
15) contradict's your #6
16) no they are not rockstar's, they are low waged H1's that will put up with you smacking them upside the head cause they are scared to loose their visa

well obviously you are not an ubuntu user
dunno what the radio has to do with it, my "hood" has less people in a square mile than a small apartment complex

I dont like to be corralled and herded like cattle
my drive is only 20 min each way, and I dont have to be saturated by other asshole's every waking moment in a sphere of human misery
Please define "not that bad".

it is legacy mode compatibility, I should note my i7 board is for a 3rd gen cpu and was one of the first UEFI motherboards I had seen, so of course mileage may vary
but its not blocked from running it, just updating it
that's what it pretty much does, I dont expect my garage computer to get updates to MSDOS anymore than I expect windows 7 to get updates to exploit the best of my R7 which is in the mail
windows 7 would probably still run just fine on it, maybe it wont, just like MSDOS would probably run just fine on my 3770K .... to a point
nah I have ran dos on my EFI i7 board before though a usb to IDE adapter, fires right up
yes, yes you can run MSDOS quite happily on any x86 cpu, I actually do it quite often on a amd A2X2 as I like refurbing old computers and sometimes I want to install dos or windows 9x on a machine while its replacement fdd / cd rom is in the mail from ebay

well played
newspapers are now art?

but does it run linux?
We were always assholes, now shut up asshole, if you dont like a site don't go to it, that fucking simple
As I would imagine a lot of people are not fans either, they are slow, even the current models, the screens are small, which would be ok if their resolution didnt suck, keyboards are hard to type on, and they are heavier than their tablet counterparts

cause like 90% of national holiday's, only banks and government workers would get to take it off, causing yet another irritation
Don't bother writing any software for linux, all you get in return is endless complaining and bitching
need proof? See every other post above
and get back to work on the important stuff like Rovables, Scratch, and duoskin
shut up, dickhead
on the 18th when reported it was 5000$ worth of games, then an update to that summary put it at 8000 gbp (9968$) and now its 10,000!!!!
loose it for another couple weeks it will be worth 20!

listen I dont want poison drinking water, but where do you think this shit comes from, uranus?
lets not put lead back into the enviroment we mined millions of tons of the shit from?
omg
