We were all new users at some point, yet we leart to use a PC. I didn't know about middle-click-to-paste twenty years ago either. Why all this crap about "making stuff easier for new users by crapping on old users who already know how to use a PC"? Just exaplain what a each of the THREE buttons on a mouse are for to new users and the problem is solved!
This is a fantastic leap forward for gaming and open standards. Unfortunately Microsoft is just barely figuring out how to poorly copy the declining success of the Apple model... looks like they'll have to play catch up again.
"Open standards"? They're trying to grow their market to sell more DRM-based stuff, that's not really open. The Linux kernel is just a tool, not their target.
That's ridiculous. You're saying that houses with a single room have a living room but NOT a bedroom? The single room serves the both purpouses, and most likely, won't have living-room furniture due to space constraints (My single-room flat is a clear example of that).
cron is userspace, so that's not an issue, he's talking about kernel-used CPU cycles, of stuff tighly integrated into the lower levels of the OS. crontab -e will let you edit cron tabs that you distro preconfigured easily, completely unrelated to Linux itself.
And 20 minutes, you say? The Windows box was probably downloading and processing updates. You know, when booting up a Linux which has never been updated, it would also be prudent to have it updated during the first 20 minutes.
If you give software names, users get confused, so they just stuck with Software.

Maybe it's not on your distro's repos yet. Switch to testing, or wait for a day or two (it's already in the main repos for arch).

Don't fix what's not broken. VLC plays videos as it should, and respects standards. If you phone saves rotation in a non-standard way, it's your phone's recording app that needs fixing: why don't you go and complain to then instead? You've probably even paid them too, so they have more obligation to fix stuff.
Sure, killing other animals to same others merely because they're the same species as us is a great solution. Because we don't have other thing we can farm, like crops, fruits and vegetables!
Keyboards with suspend/reset keys where PrintScreen is located were pretty common about 8 years ago. I remember just removing the keys from the keyboard to avoid any accidents.
2013 Macbooks have a "poweroff" key right next to F12. Don't know who the idiot that designed that is, but I just disabled it.
Indeed. Any human would have taken entire seconds to process it, they could have just waited 500ms to be on the safe side. Or could somebody had read the information, processed it, and placed orders in under 500ms?
If the trade takes 7ms to make it through, and this one came in 2ms after the announcement, then it was place 5ms before the information was public, hence they did break the law.
Things can be de-facto standard, or formalized by an organization (like the ones you mentioned). NPAPI is a de facto standard. NaCl is not a standard at all, just a protocol a single vendor designed themselves and implemented.

What about seek time? If I need file #4455256, How do I go through all those 19M cards? You need a lot more infrastructure and SPACE to find something in that huge stack of cards.
The cheapest TVs available when I bought mine (to use as a TV monitor) had 3 HDMI inputs. I never understood why, but mine (a 1080p one) was one of the cheapest and has 3xHDMI, 1xVGA, 1xRS232 (??), and a few 3 others that I can't be bother to google and fine out what they're called.

Ever heard of Desura? They made it to Linux before Steam did.

Nope, wrong, it's just steam on linux really.
"Moved on"? You make is sound as if Hurd was relevat once!

Not unless I configure it to do so.
I guess they're still laughing, because ordinary people still won't be able to understand this.

It also doesn't allow me to read my email. I'll stick to emacs, and migrate to VLC only when I can do my email on it!

Doesn't is just stream video to the applet? Can't you capture that video with something else?
Also, you can just use OpenJDK.
So Java applets will become less common on the internet? OMG, I can't belive this!

This is yet another dead business model which is not willing to admit it's time is past.

It's not a standard just because you publish the documentation. Or can I make the Hugo-Plugin-Standard now?
Google is just being a bully because of it's position. "Adopt our made-up standards, or don't interact with us."

And what about the data? You still need to do migration. To the non-tecnical person, MariaDB is chearp, and Posgres is "different and expensive".
