Perhaps it's time for game publishers unwilling to release dedicated servers to be required to maintain their own multiplayer servers for a set number of years after a title's launch.
I hate C++ and Java both, but both of those platforms have garbage collectors available. It just so happens that only one has it by default with every practical implementation.
The word you're looking for is sundry, not sunder.
And since XP was released in 2001, MS has released 2 versions on the desktop (Vista and 7) and two for servers (2003 and 2008). That's hardly every 2 years.
I once had a Windows XP install on which Windows Update stopped working. I emailed MS support, and received very technical and detailed assistance over a series of back-and-forth emails until the issue was resolved. And I didn't pay MS a dime.
If you work in a corporation with managers like that, you quit. You don't wait around to be fired. Additionally, there is no sane corporate structure that would allow an internal IT customer to be in a position to fire anyone outside their department.
I work in IT for a large corp, so I know how it goes. I've seen good customers and bad. But hyperbole doesn't help.
Funny. I work at a fairly large Auto manufacturer (in the US) and RedHat isn't visible here at all. I know there are some one-offs, but nothing supported by global IT. Lots of Linux here, though, but on any desktops.
There's no excuse to riot because of a sports game. We all know it was just an excuse, and anyone who rioted wanted to riot whether the game had been played or not. Police should have simply shot anyone causing damage to property or harm to others.
Because cops don't beat up animals (as a rule). Americans care more about animals than they do people. Also, cops are the law, and these corporations are not (yet).
You are apparently are under the apprehension that corporations should have any rights at all. They shouldn't. The (original) purpose of corporations was to provide legal and financial protections to the individual shareholders. That corporations are given rights is a travesty.
I guess you didn't read the article, or your comprehension is very poor, as he very clearly states the differences between what Linus and RMS did. And he didn't say that Linus pioneered open development or open/free software. He says that Linus pioneered the approach of asking potential users and developers for feature requests, while RMS wanted people to work on his stuff.
It may in some strange way be considered some form of welfare, but it's not corporate welfare any more than good roads or police. Tourist dollars benefit everyone in the state. There is a larger tax-base for state and local programs. Businesses benefit from increased patronage. Residents benefit from more affluent businesses. How do you think Florida manages without state income tax?
The iPad's resolution is not an exact multiple of either the original iPhone, nor of the retina display. It is, however, great enough in both dimensions to contain a (perfectly-scaled) representation of either.

The article (or even the summary) is not talking about repeatedly attempting to log in to a system. It's talking about encrypted files.

How about... no?
I hate C++ and Java both, but both of those platforms have garbage collectors available. It just so happens that only one has it by default with every practical implementation.
And I'd like to add that XP support is available even today, so to imply some kind of forced upgrade is disingenuous at best.

The only thing horribly wrong is your understanding.
Trademarks do not need to contain or be made up of made-up words.

Why not?
Virtually no one is good at developing (great) things from scratch. The truly inspired and creative geniuses are few and far between.
Android and iOS use the same renderer in their browsers.
Nonsense. If someone is stupid enough to try and live on bitcoins, they deserve the outcome.

Your statement, while it may be generally true, has nothing to do with the article.

A factory farm is a hell mouth, strewn with feces six-inches deep and animals literally one foot in the grave.
Wouldn't placing the farm animals into the grave be counter-productive?

Since your reading comprehension is non-existent, I would guess it doesn't really matter.
Now we know why Google is removing the bar from Chrome!
Why wouldn't you want to take axe murderers away from firemen?

You aren't a masochist, you're just stupid.
A Mac, like any other PC, is a tool. If it stops working for you, you try something else. You don't have to get all whiny about it.
