Typical strawman. One is a legitimate organization under laws that SJWs loathe, while the other is a defunct organization w/ just a handful of members that barely does 1 terror act a year either within or outside the US. The groups I listed are all active terror groups in Pakistan that are either active in day to day terror acts within Pakistan itself, or use Pakistan to back terror acts in Afghanistan or Kashmir.
What exactly did Samsung sell that helped them achieve this? Did they have the bulk of Qualcomm's fab orders? I saw somewhere that flash memory was one driver. While memories - both flash and DRAM do have volumes, they are also commodity priced, so that wouldn't exactly help them in terms of margins. Does Qualcomm's chips have higher margins than Intel's?
Intel might want to consider upping the ante on their Custom business, fabbing things for Qualcomm, Apple & others. They do have process advantages, and could bring key benefits to those chips as a result, like reduced power consumption.
B'cos it's true! 3 of the groups I listed are Pakistani Jihadist groups based in Pakistan (1 of them in Pak Kashmir), and the other 2 have their main presence there.
No, it was just not obvious at all. Kids may want something, but their parents may prefer getting something else. Nothing in your statement suggested that, no matter how deep one looked
Absolutely true! Unfortunately, the deep state in both the State Department & the Pentagon believe that they have to pander to Sunni Arab sensibilities, and therefore avoid policies that would further US interests, like setting up CENTCOM in Israel & completely ignoring the Arabs, supporting an independent Kurdish state, and so on.
While 1 in 10 may be pro ISIS, other 9 support other Jihadist groups, like the Taliban, al Qaeda, Lashkar e Toiba, Jaish e Mohammed, Harkat e Mujahedeen, and a plethory of Islamic alphabet soup of Jihadist groups. So yeah, that whole country IS terrorist.
When I was in grad school, my Computer Design professor, while mentioning the term 'master-slave', suggested that while 'master' be replaced by 'initiator', 'slave' be replaced by 'mastery-challenged'.
Agree w/ you here. On one hand, as the creators of the software, they do have the right to make it whatever they desire. However, from a branding standpoint, it's a fiasco. Not that the Linux Tux is much better. Or for that matter, OpenBSD or GNU's logos. NetBSD's is half decent: it's a flag.
In a professional environment, people are used to products w/ professional looking logos. Someone above mentioned Windows, but a Window, or previously a flag, is exactly what one would expect. But the image of a devil holding a spear just looks too goofy, w/o bothering about one's religious inclinations. Some versions of derivatives - like PC-BSD 9.0 was codenamed 'Isotope' and had an image of an atom, which would have been a lot more interesting, and more professional & modern looking if used.
If they can change PC-BSD to TrueOS, they can surely change the logo/mascot to something that looks more like it was built for the workplace.
You too disliked that name? I found it to be a tad hubris - much preferred PC-BSD. If they wanted to rebrand it, they should have picked a more catchy name.
GP mentioned 'semi-modern' hardware, which was somewhat nebulous. If it means that it's a 32-bit CPU, or has limited memory/storage, TrueOS may not be an option, since it's now 64-bit only
The main place where BSD has gotten a lot easier has been in software installation - w/ PBIs. In Linux, it's still fragmented - some things are available only in.rpm, and some just in.deb. In PC-BSD/TrueOS, they've gone to.pbi. The only place you can install software from is the AppCafe, which I find really convenient.
TrueOS could use some improvement in updates: one of my previous updates got stuck, so I haven't bothered upgrading. Result: I can't install new software from AppCafe. Will probably need to order a new TrueOS DVD for $6, so was checking about some alternatives, like OpenBSD.
By semi-modern, if you mean that you're still 32-bit, then stay w/ Linux: FreeBSD and its derivatives had moved to 64-bit only a while ago. You'd have to go w/ a really old version of FreeBSD. If you are still 32-bit, might wanna consider either NetBSD or Minix
"Linux is not the only free open-source operating system." LOL, yes we know. If anyone here knows about Linux, they SHOULD already know about Unix. FreeBSD came out in 1993 and was essentially a fork from 386BSD, another Unix OS. Linux was a kernel built to replicate Unix in 1991, but Unix has been around since the 60's in one form or another.
At version 11, ain't it a given that anybody interested in this story already knows what FreeBSD is? The last few sentences in the summary are informative, as to what changed from 10 to 11, but the first few seemed to assume that we are idiots.
Another point - since TrueOS - former PC-BSD - is now a rolling update, can the summary include whatever has changed in TrueOS? Like PlayOnBSD, which enabled one to run Steam games under WINE?
Fair point. You are describing a business case. I was describing a personal case: I have family members that have both Galaxies and iPhones, and very often, we like to share not just messages, but also photos & videos. My parents struggle w/ email, but have somewhat figured out at least how to VIEW things in WhatsApp
For what you are describing, it seems pretty inappropriate. Like you said, email is more suitable, and even something like Skype.
The story was about WhatsApp users, not FaceBook users. That number has to be of living people, since no one, no matter how much s/he loves the dog, will get it not just a phone, but a phone# and account. This is an app that one installs on a phone in order to be able to talk cheaply to people. One has to have a live phone w/ an associated phone# in order to use WhatsApp: it just won't set up if it's just a phone w/o a carrier.
Very different from FaceBook, where one can open a fictitious account just for one's hobbies, such as gaming, political trolling, and so on
If it is, why isn't there something in TrueOS's AppCafe that lets me view WhatsApp on my laptop, and type my messages from there - like I can w/ a Wintel PC?
I was doing that, but I have 2 phones, & don't always carry the iPhone on me. However, the car navigation system has an iPod player which does a less than adequate job while working w/ my Lumia. So I bought this 7th gen iPod Nano recently, and loaded it up w/ some music videos, and stick it into the console USB port, which is connected to the iPod player.
Since the Apple store doesn't have most of the videos that I want, and of the ones that do, the volume seems really low, I am planning to wipe that and replace it w/ audio files that I've collected, assuming that iTunes lets me do it.
I have WhatsApp, but I don't have a FaceBook account connected to the same email or Phone number. So even if FaceBook has my contacts, how exactly do they put their advertizers in front of me? I don't see ads in my WhatsApp app, nor on the PC web equivalent.

Until you find out that some s/w is available only as .rpm and some only as .deb. Unless you know how to make install.

Lucky for them, since Pottering hates the BSDs
Thanks. Three questions:
- How is OpenBSD w/ drivers, particularly WiFi? TrueOS refuses to recognize the driver of this Dell Inspiron 17 that I'm typing on. Will OpenBSD?
- In terms of DEs, does Lumina run on OpenBSD? If I were on Linux, I'd have gone Razor-qt, but being on a BSD, I'd go for Lumina
- Can something like TrueOS's PlayOnBSD run on OpenBSD, so that I can play Steam games if I want?
Is one of them the happy gay, as opposed to the homosexual gay? I'll avoid asking which is which

The kids are not the ones who want limited functionality. Some of their parents are!

It's one thing to dislike FaceBook, and I don't care much for it. WhatsApp is another story altogether, which is why FaceBook bought them!
