Really, this playbook is getting old: "I used Linux since Slackware, but I installed the latest Windows, and it is the best thing since sliced bread!".
Go back to your fucking PR manager and tell them you are becoming too transparent to succesfully astroturf. Or better, fuck off back to Redmond and don't come back.
It is obvious that the reviewer is a Microsoft fanboy of the sort that used to protest here on Slashdot that they had been running Slackware ever since it came out, because otherwise I can't understand why I must calibrate his review as if it were a game review done by a game magazine that's carrying lots of publisher advertising. You know, the ones where a 75% score means: "This is actually crap, but if we print it we lose advertisers".
Let's see:
The Start menu still sucks
The privacy policy is horrible
The Virtual workspaces have trouble with multiple monitors
The store is a mess
The UI is still not up to high resolution displays
And this counts as a competent upgrade? Who the fuck does he think he's kidding?
Erdogan has turned a blind eye to ISIS fighters and weapons using his country as a transit point into Syria
Yes, what people actually live on that border? Oh golly, the Kurds.
The rest of your post is a case of 'the lady doth protest too much'. It's the usual PVV/Front National/Vlaams Belang/BNP apologia, so fuck off and die in a fire please, you racist shit.
Utter fucking bullshit. Turkey has always had a problem with the Kurds, it's a nationalism issue. Erdogan is as much a Turkish nationalist as the army that used to make noises about him better not getting out of line. But hey, why would you interest yourself in what actually motivates those brown people over there, as long as you can play on the Islamophobia to give your bigotry the semblance of respect?
The other option is that those who think they are above average negotiators settle for less than the job is worth to the employer because they are just bad negotiators. Salary transparency is a benchmark that obviates that issue. Collective bargaining is another one.
Why bring up the 'cultural' issue when it is a mere question of locality? Because you're a goddamn bigot who thinks Indians are inferior brown people, but you just lack the stones to say it outright. Your posting history is illumnating.
Aka "Those brown guys are too stupid to understand what us 'mericans want".
Funny, as someone not living in the United States, when I get to deal with US-made software, apparently that cultural gap was of no consequence whatsoever, I'm just supposed to suck up the Americanisms and don't complain.
In short, if you ignore the culture gap when the software is written by WASPs, then you can't call on the culture gap when Indians are to be the prospective programmers. If you do, it smells suspiciously like you have other motives, something more essentialist.
No, just no. If you keep holding the brakes while being rear-ended, you will not accelerate until the collision energy overcomes the brake friction. It's not a matter of accelerate then brake, it's a matter of not accelerating at all, and letting the brakes and the crumple zones take up the energy.
Last time I was in the UK is several years ago, so conditions may have worsened, but I was impressed at some things, like how people were much more willing to let me merge than at home (the Netherlands; bloody awful drivers, the lot of 'em). Roundabout etiquette especially struck me, with me probably being the cause of plenty of 'bloody foreigner' exclamations, as I was rather hesitant at times in quickly merging and leaving.
I did notice some drivers not paying enough attention, but not significantly more than normal. And that was with me trying hard to adjust to riding on the left, on a fully loaded motorcycle, with luggage and my partner riding pillion.
Just let them. Relax the throttle and let the gap widen again. The best thing: if everyone does that, traffic flow improves, and everyone will move faster.
And as an experienced motorcycle rider, let met tell you: you can spot people wanting to merge before they start, so even if they merge and stomp the brakes, you could already have dropped your speed and created space.
So? You can still run gnome without Network Manager; that gnome requires a package to integrate with a non-existent component is irrelevant.
Again, it's obviously only the lusers that are making a noise. Any real Linux users and administrators just get on with using our systems however we like.
The key is to keep this simple truth in mind: it's a job. You do it to survive.
Don't let your sense of self-worth and your identity get tied up in your view of your career. Your job does not define who you are, you do it because someone is paying you to do it for them.
There is satisfaction in doing the work well; and it is nice if the work fits with your personal tastes, but if you refuse to let it define you, you will be the happier for it.
And as a definite plus, it will strengthen your negotiation position. If it is just a job, it's easier to walk away if the compensation does not suit you.

Your incompetence is not a reliable indicator of systemd's quality.

Are you being sarcastic, or have you never heard of Arthur C. Clarke's "Songs of Distant Earth"?
Isn't that called a 'Web browser'?
But, but, but...I thought The Great ESR had made maintenance of WML easier so that campaign maintenance was less of an issue?

You can usually spot these people even before they start their merge. Just throttle back a little and let them merge while creating more space.

No, he is using a figure of speech; specifically hyperbole. People with a literacy level higher than grade school occasionally do use those, you know.

Network Manager is not a requirement for Gnome in Debian:
Funny how you FUDders always seem to think that easily refuted lies will pass.
Dear idiot: RTFM. It's not NetworkManager that overwrites your /etc/resolv.conf on Debian-based distros.
Second: Debian Gnome can run without Network Manager. Just deinstall it.
Third: if you have multiple desktops to roll out, learn how your deployment tools work. If you're adding static configs, disabling NM is easy.
Well, given the success in teaching Americans that guns don't make their dick harder or bigger, how well do you think this would work?
Maybe that's because when it comes to interaction with the police, it more often than not is about race. I know, that's crazy talk, isn't it?
I'm not bothered by dissenting opinions. I'm bothered by reflexively produced bullshit showing neither reading nor thinking ability.
Then it's good neither the AC nor phantomfive were making that argument, now were they?
If you read customer requirements as well as you show you read a two-line slashdot post, I shudder to think of what code quality your customers get.
It's funny how you libertards suddenly forget about freedom and the big bad government when it's someone doing something you disapprove of.
