And yet, why would you be running Linux and editing 4K video. There are no serious video editing programs for Linux.
The few people (likely less than a dozen) that run Linux on Mac on hardware are likely doing so to extend the life of the extremely-reliable hardware, rather than any issue with OS X.
Editing shmediting. If you want to do some serious post production (compositing, tracking, grading) there's some very popular programs for you out there. And I'm not talking about Blender either.
Professionals with jobs to do value stability and backward compatibility.
It would appear that these professionals with jobs had better learn to deal with moving targets. Stability and compatibility no longer exist in the old fashioned way.
Meanwhile, full Windows 7 and 8 runs smoothly on those same underpowered systems with all animations and compositing enabled, all the way down to Atom N270 systems.
Everyone can try this themselves if they do not believe it.
The bios is software, and you aren't going to install an OS without a bios.
The microcode is also software and you aren't going to run a computer without that either.
You get the idea?
I think it would actually be rather cool to have access to third party BIOSses, microcode, and so on. Folks who think this is too complex an/or time consuming can always go for the stock options.
So anonymity is great if you are a battered wife, rape victim, or acid attack victim. But if it is just a case of your opinion not being popular then you no longer deserve it?
False equivalence noted. The fact that this got +5 insightful is truly sad.
My Nikon FM, and my Mamiya C33 on a Gitzo tripod strong enough to build a house on.
Also, vinyl records. Not because they sound better but because I like to hold something that has music on it. The CD is dying and if I buy digital, might as well buy the flac.

It's amazing how many arguments are merely arguments over definitions.
This depends on your definition of "argument".
Not if it's supposed to be linear it isn't.
I thought the caveat was "with existing technology".
"Whacked"?
You're not some kind of hero, RPA pilot. You're a coward and a murderer.
If you're worried about dying and are American, stay out of the Middle East.
They already had that covered, what with being in South Asia and all.
Both are just change for changes sake [...]
Can people please stop regurgitating that nonsense?

Has anyone ever seen a feminist petition for more women to do construction jobs, cleaning jobs, heavy industrial trades etc? ... ... ...
Yes, actually.
1. Satellites and probes are carrying something more akin to a nuclear battery than a nuclear reactor, called a radioisotope thermoelectric generator.
Again, this.
NERVA, schNERVA. This one acually got launched. Not an RTG either.

Well, so do Gnome3 and Unity, so there's that.
So everything is still broken, and it needs at least till 40 until its reliably usable.
Fortunately, that will only take a couple of days.
Now we find out that jobs are being cut in [...] Fargo.
Aw, geez.

Oh fuck off you Neanderthal.
Bah. He's just another fucktard MRA lowlife, using the standard jargon. In this case: "White Knight".

I just grunt it. Grunt enough times and it'll be memorized.
Actually, real pros use cat > filename then type Ctrl-d when done.
Seriously.
I'm no unix pro in any way shape or form, but I do make quick notes using
cat << EOF >> whatever.txt
Discovering that old trick has saved me lots of time.
Please stop now. This joke is getting o
We don't want an apology, we want an apology with tears!!!
