5) Your an idiot. Your 'an idiot' wrote your post.
I'd like to make a helpful suggestion. When you are chiding someone for being wrong (and, he was), it's incumbent upon you to be right. That means grammar, too.
"Your" is possessive. "You're" is a contraction of "you are."
My 24" iMac is doing pretty well and it's 5 years old.
Macs are supposed to last five years.
Actually, they often remain useful for about 8-years, although my 12-year old Lombard PowerBook is still in service. Can't really watch Internet video on it (they become slide shows) but, otherwise, it does whatever is asked of it (email, web browsing, word processing, etc.)
I looked into the suicide issue myself a couple months ago when the press started talking about Foxconn's problems.
Unless I made a mistake, my research indicated that Foxconn employee suicide rates are lower than the suicide rates for the U.S. as a whole. Makes me wonder what they are doing right....
I convinced the IT manager, who was a long time Windows admin type, but knew very little about Linux, that it would be FAR better, performance-wise, to change these to runlevel 3, and only start the GUI when it was truly needed.
Give up. Sorry, but the industry wants you as badly as a they want 55-year old pole dancers which, is to say, they don't.
As my brother says, when you've reached 50, if you don't have the job you want working for someone else, then you really have no choice... you have to work for yourself, and that ain't easy, either.
It's age-ism, for real. It's not fair but it's the way things are.
The bad part is that Americans are living longer than ever so you've got a couple decades to be pissed off.
Also, there is no QOS to say things like: prioritize movies from my server to my TV, or give my laptop the bandwidth of the internet connection if I'm moving files up or down from the server.
But YMMV.
I think you need to look at Tomato again. It has QoS. Not sure what you are talking about.
I don't give anyone my failed HD's... it's a privacy thing.
MTBF are fictitious figures. They mean nothing.
Hard drive warranties are irrelevant. They mean nothing.
Warranties do not imply quality. Seems like they might but... they don't.
My Seagates fail faithfully after around 30,000 hours. I track 'em so I know.
WD's fail... Hitachi's fail... they all fail if you use them long enough.
Working 8-year old hard drives can be the basis for an amusing anecdote, one of those "ain't that the dangest thing" sort of stories.
The company that made your 8-year old hard drive is no longer in business, even if their name is. They've changed. Their employees and policies have changed. Their strategic alliances have changed. Technology has changed.
You can share that story about the 8-year old hard drive with your grandkids one day, though.
The problem is, letters are easy and cheap to deliver.
You must have grown up in a family of postal carriers.
Transporting tangible, physical objects hundreds or thousands of miles away is not cheap. Well, maybe compared to 50- or 100-years ago it's less expensive.
I'd much rather trade the HDMI for some sort of Etherne...
From the designer:
Key differences between the alpha and final boards are:
* The alpha board is roughly 20% larger than the credit-card-sized final board. As you can see, our size is already dominated by the area of the various connectors.
* The alpha board has six layers rather than four, and uses a variety of expensive HDI features (blind and buried vias, via-in-pad) which we wish to eliminate from the final board.
* The alpha board has various test and debug features which will not be present on the final board.
The ICs used in the design are an ARM-based application processor (center) and an SMSC LAN9512 USB 2.0 hub and 10/100 Ethernet controller (right and down from center). The SDRAM is mounted on top of the application processor in a PoP configuration.
Following the example of the BBC Micro, we intend to launch both a Model A device (lacking the LAN9512, and with 128MB of RAM) at the $25 price point, and a Model B device (including the LAN9512, and with 256MB of RAM) for a $5-10 additional cost. We remain confident of shipping before the end of 2011.

Looks like someone found George W. Bush's notes.

I'm sorry-- this is idiotic. Capitalism's only value is profit. But that does NOT imply that workers get the shaft.
What it implies is that worker's welfare is irrelevant except when it has to the potential to be detrimental to the company's interests.
By my observations in the U.S., I'd say that about sums up the issue. Employers are usually as "nice" as they need to be.

What did you use for evidence?
If we had IPv6 we would all have as many ips as we needed free of charge.
Whoop!!! I missed that headline! You are assuming a huge change in attitude from ISPs. Hope you are right.
Those you can, do. Those you can't, sue.
Call good viruses "agents" and then it's perfectly okay.

You younger geeks pay attention, now.
Damn, that's a lot of typing!
Per your request, I am here to report back: you can have 5-7 hours of battery time on a laptop with GNU/Linux.
You're welcome.
Somehow I doubt your sincerity.
Tomato seems to be a little stale, at the moment.
Anyone who would use the term "stale" to describe software would probably also use the term "snappy."
Go to the back of the line.
Also, there is no QOS to say things like: prioritize movies from my server to my TV, or give my laptop the bandwidth of the internet connection if I'm moving files up or down from the server.

Fedex doesn't have a legal mandate to provide service to most addresses 6 days of the week.
So?
How's that math work?

This problem is a GOOD THING.
I was disappointed by this coverage for two reasons:
1. I wanted to hear it.
2. I wanted to see it rise above ground effect.
And it was the revenue model used by radio for decades before TV.
Well, "Duh." Same for TV and radio. It's a REALLY old business model.
Here's what I taught my kids, growing up: Follow the money.
Indubitably.
I'd like to see many more media statements backed by explicit wagers, and not just the indirect gamble of the stock market.
Cool! News journalists gambling!
After that, we can turn them into whores. Oh, wait... they already are.
Okay, then maybe we can get news journalists to get involved in illegal drug sales.
Listen, news reporting already lacks credibility and reeks of amateurism... let's not get excited and start hoping that it gets worse.
Mmmm... BBQ.
in the same Texas with stand your ground rights
What???
