Unencrypt everything. Come governments show some integrity? Wait that is risky and would let those who do harm exploit you? Then why don't let others do the same?
Vote for libertarians and Europeans far right candidates? They are the only ones who respect your rights and will weaken government control out of them!
Socialism is communist lite and this proves big government is bad. The founding fathers would be mortified if they knew what the NSA was and would be snooping.
I don't get it. These are slower and a downgrade from other 2013 cpus for socket 1150. So why would I upgrade from what I have? Did I miss something special? If you can't afford an x99 it would make more sense to get a 2 year old i7 4770
Oh please coming from a long time linux and freebsd user.
The costs to fly consultants to fix broken IE specific sites like SAP, java applets that look for XP and crap out on other platforms, wine bugs, lack of AD support for lockdowns, and help desk Temps to sort through the angry users, documents created with Libre office looking funny to potential clients with Office, are pure madness to consider! Don't give me the garbage about how users were supposed to save as.docx with no macros. Many are drooling idiots who will want to reprimand your ass for ca using this etc. Wine config? Yeah good luck with a 1,000 users including HR who have a weird java applet where people don't get paid if an error arises;-)
I am not saying this as a troll. Linux has it's uses for specialized servers.
But if people wanted to be freed they would have last decade. Windows is reliable now since NT came and gets shit done
Why bother then? Easier to just use what came with computer which is Windows.
Mate is a fork for the now obsolete gnome 2 4 years ago. I left linux 4 years ago because of nonsense like 5 his realizing gnome 3 made it game over.
Why would someone want to be free of Microsoft? It just works and is stable now. It ain't 1998 anymore where you could make a case since Windows now has an NT kernel
What you describe is skuemorphic design which objects mimic real world objects which is the old way of doing things.
Look at the candy buttons and leather in the address bar to see why the art professors decided not to go this route anymore.
With flat the design possibilities are endless as you can make the gui in a way you want and the user can focus on content-consumption and work. Not glass and depicting what a tiny pic of something like a skuemorphic button means. Think of Stop signs? They are simple colors and text.
I am not saying I agree with this. Just reprinting what I read on art blogs. FYI it was Google that started this. Not Microsoft. The search is soo basic but is powerful underneath
I hated nested menus in Office 2003 with a passion! Microsofts own statistics showed back then 85% of users only used 20% of features or something silly.
Worse users requested features Office already had?
The ribbon changed this and shows it was better. It took a good week for me back in 2008 to learn. Now you couldnt pay me to go back. I am visual and can even hover my cursor to preview changes:-)
For the Unix geeks try this? Hit the alternative key? Notice the letters and numbers of the ribbon appear. With Office 2007 and later it is more keyboard friendly.
Thanks for the info.... but your closing statement? You and I both know they won't. They elected an official who promised not to pay with thundering applause from the idiot citizens who voted him in. Wow.
As usual if you are I do not pay off our student loans the banks cash our paybacks and FORCE US to payback where not even bankruptacy starving ourselves and our kids. When nations do it and take down the economy of innocent parties then it is business as usual. No consequences etc.
I am not a socialist by any sense of the means about income inequality but man it does boil my blood as the bigger parties like whole banks, industries, and countries get off the hook but we are supposed to be responsible yada yada
Psychology played in the Great Recession which magnified it after the math failed. No one trusted each other and banks borrowed from each other with credit asset swapping. (Why weren't they labeled expenses??)
So viola they all told each other you are no good. BOOM! Collapse and Uncle Sam had to come in and payback and buy the junk assets to try to have them trust each other again.
If Greece goes Italy will be viewed next (bad side). If they go fear will spread and those like Portugal WILL get shafted as investors know no one else will pay for their bonds so if you buy your money will be out the window etc. The bonds are worth as much as toilet paper as no one will buy them due to fear.
Yes this sounds nonsensical but in the great recession, 1929, and other events in history it has happened. I doubt banks hold less greek bonds unless the IMF bought them all? Why? Let's say you own them? Who in their right mind would buy them?! No one. You are stuck holding them or selling them at a HUGE loss.
We borrow from each other and swap the debt around and as long as the chain is good and we *trust* each other and pay back things run smoothly. Let's say I owe less but say I can't pay you 2 back. Then comes fear with you and the other guy saying to each other you are no good.
This sounds silly and nonsensical but happened in the USA in 2008. Psychology as no one trusted each other and said they were no good the assets instantly turned into expenses that no one could afford.
Yes, Greece is tiny. But what is to say spooked investors who lost tons of cash now look at Ireland and Italy next. Everyone does it and now Italy is no good because the other investors said so. It can't borrow to pay its bills, etc. Spain, then eventually the US.
Swapping debt assets seem stupid like the children's hot potato game where as long as you are not holding the potato when the bill is due you gain.
I am nervous as this feels like early 2008 all over again.
People though ack a few banks will be late paying each other for it's silly home instruments. Big deal let's buy banking shares now while they are cheap etc...
We all know what happened next? Last year we finally came close to full recovery. The house of cards collapsed and is still being pumped up by the federal Reserve as we never had a full collapse!
Japan, America, and the EU may be next should Greece not to pay with skyrocketing rates and a great depression awaiting as the Federal Reserve won't be able to pump borrowed money to the banks, again.
Macs had cooperative multitasking since 1984. Windows 3.0 also had cooperative multitasking. It didn't need dos emulation and weird graphics hacks as it was built from the ground up rather than an add on hack for Windows. Mac II was color in 1987.
My point is Windows was a low grade hack until Windows 95 where it became a pseudo OS with more hacks upon hacks to get anything to work until XP came along and kicked the nasty model to the curb for all pcs
You know just because you all hated the leather background in the Mac address book does not mean you need to get rid of shininess, chrome, depth perception, and other features which actually helped the user distinguish which Window was active.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Give me my damn skuemorphism back. It works fine. I know NO ONE and I mean NO ONE besides hipster graphic designers afraid to have anything modern looking on their portfolio as other hipster artist look at them before hiring them. It creates a cycle of race to the bottom of less graphics, less detail, blinding white, 72x text.
SKUEMORPHISM != REALISM folks and MS appearently thinks it does.
It didn't need one. Windows and pascal were part of the toolkit. I hated Windows back in the day but was no apple fan boy. Apple was ahead as was others such as Amiga and sunos.
But corporate users needed their apps and rest was history. Windows didn't get ok until XP AND good until 7... then 8 sigh
How about about a nice bonus for those in charge for firing those horrrible cost centers who provide no value and caused the leak. So smart. Not all scarce talent can be so gifted.

Once again it shows only leader like Rand Paul have our interests at heart.
IE 6 only uses 32 megs of ram top. You know just saying
The apeal is it makes it easier for consumers to identify the products.
McDonald's has a flat big Mac logo on it's bags. It is not photo gradient and easy to tell what it is without being distracting.
Android is but ugly too. It is a new thing and not a Windows 8 thing.
Windows 10 does have a aero glass start menu back so it is not so dang pastelish
Shoot it's 2015 man ...

Arctic mosquitos do. In places too cold for most bees or tundra where there are no trees for a hive arctic mosquitos pollinate and drive you batshit insane at the same time.
Go visit Alaska some time or some other boreal place and your opinion will change VERY rapidly!
That is a relief.

But corporate users needed their apps and rest was history. Windows didn't get ok until XP AND good until 7 ... then 8 sigh
Mac had that since 1984
Yep
People back then were neophytes amd corporter users.
Corporations cared for just software. Users who were neophytes used what came with work amd found these, machines intimidating and didn't like change.
The 19 80s were about us geeks. The 1990s were the suits and Joe Six packs driving the market
I see buttons, shadows, depth, higher colors, etc.
All ruined in the name of anti skuemorphism which was the most advanced progress made in gui development since win 3.0. What a shame sigh
