The point is that you should not sign any type of contract without reading it. Many people do not imagine the legal power a signature has on a piece of paper, no matter how absurd is the text there.
Before VISA cards do existed, when I went on bussiness trips with everything pre-paid by the company, was by the standard request of asking for a credit card for expenses at the reception desk "I dont have one". Probably as I was foreign and young, it worked beautifully.
We have had them for years here. They are tied to my account, and in and every need, I create a separate one with the limit of the value I want to pay. You can create one for single use, or one with a validity of one year for being charge by a single merchant. The advantage of the process is that you place a roof on the limit. Yeah, I am paying a 50 euro charge, maybe I create a card with 51 euros. Last time a big hotel here asked a VISA card just to book my parents, but on the conditions said "this will be only used if the guests do not show up"...well, I created a virtual VISA with 5 EUROS. First thing my parents heard from the idiots "Your VISA card is not working". Even my Apple account is tied to a virtual VISA card with a small amount..The scheme has existed here for almost decade, and it well tested and proven to work.
I had already heard comments about the RH involvement, however you comments raise some more interesting points. Id like to point however, they are doing more than ignoring everyone, they are antagonising them and wishing them farewell, and if you are not ok with this, leave. I feel that too, it is a take it or leave proposition, and I am not that involved in the community.
I am well aware what hacking means, what craking means, and what developers are, since I am one. I am also aware you are an idiot with true much free time on your hands. I only have doubts wether my time is well applied replying to you, which clearly is not.
To be fair enough, I still managed to upgrade to jessie without installing systemd exploring Debian funcionalities/flexibility, but I do not know wether i still be around the next version to find it out (i.e. I pinned systemd to -1 before the upgrade)
I do care more about it being forced, and upgrading a system installs it no matter what init system I am using, that the way it is implemented. Linux whas and should still be about choice.
I blacklisted/pinned systemd to -1, and solved the problem. but I am also planning on moving to FreeBSD, but I want to take my time. However it is as you say, when I am upgrading a system with another init system, and without any visible dependencies nor gnome, why in hell should the upgrade to systemd should be forced upon us? I also have a couple of problems, until noticing in my test server that systemd was there without my permission or asking.
Yep, I have just asked myself that too many times. It goes without saying that the deeper you dig, the systemd decision is political one and not a technical one. Furthermore, it is rather stupid that forcibly all the installations or upgrades are made to systemd without your decision or consent.
and only getting worse after being bought by Microsoft. Forgive me for not being too enthusiastic about having yet another piece of crap in my browser. I would prefer to make a pact with the devil first. Hell, using software from Microsoft is no better than that.
Call the bulls by their names, RIAA and MPAA are no more than dummies of Disney, Sony and Paramount Studios to name a few, because it is not socially acceptable to antagonize your customers. Boycott the bastards. If it were for them, we would all burn in the stake.
Yes, you can for sure install untrusted apps on iOS without hacking. I can remember from the top of my head at least three ways. Phones in dev mode (not the problem here), Enterprise certs and beta software distributed through TestFlight.

Yep, HP and Cisco, and corporate america adopting Macs surely is anecdotal. The cat has been out of the bag since iPhones become ubiquitous, have you been hiding in a cave?
I maintain you are a dick by diminishing other peoples opinions in favour of your own, and what I am seeing in working in a large schooling environment does not relate what you are saying. As I said, and it was also my case people prefer to bring their own Apple equipment paid with their hard earned money than dealing with the alternative. And then it is me who has reading comprehension. Right on. Either you enjoy burying you head on the sand, or are an MS shill.
Tell that to HP and Cisco who have been very quiet they are issuing macbook pros to their users...I have been also using Mac for more than a decade now, and I am into IT. The previous company I worked for also used Macs as desktops.
Again it depends on the uses, and your experience. I am much more proficient with a trackpad than a mouse, and do have some uses for content creation on an iPad. And I hate Android and Windows. You yourself said the iPad is superior in all-Mac system on the user side.
You are surely joking, or not aware that Office may be "free" but you are locked-in in an office 365 account. Give me my Apple Numbers, Keynote and Pages in iPad any day. Thanks, but no "free" Office for me. And the point of using an iThing is escaping out of the claws of Microsoft and their stupidity.
not proofreading... What other people say are relevant dimwit. Saying that ONE time is enough, two is you being a dick. You can BET people not caring about their free stuff and taking their PAID Apple products to work/Office/classrooms is very RELEVANT and telling.

If you say so. I shelled out money for Omnigrafle plus on my iPad, doing "visio" grapfs are a requirement on my job, and it is so much better to use it on an ipad. I also have some other software. For meetings, I prefer to carry my iPad to see and fiddle with my spreadsheets. I also create presentations with keynote in my iPad. For movies, I prefer to stream them with iPad or the iPhone. Ditto for watching movies out of hours. talking about content creation, I am a developer for the iOS plataform. you also have got spreadsheets programs, numbers for instance, and keynote, and some other programs. The interface is best for some things, not so much for others. If you do not want to work and spend all day on facebook, there is not much difference in having an iPad or a notebook. And please do not say something I said is not relevant. The point is everyone and their dogs hate surface and windows mobile, and prefer even to pay when they are issued free by the company. I was in that boat too, bringing my own Apple equipment to work, until the higher ups saw I was more efficient with them, and issue Apple stuff to all my team. About Surface? I would not even want it for free, and mind you, I am not alone on that. MS products suck. They are blowing products left and down. Their marketing and technical teams are at odds with what their customers want. I personally also hate them with a passion, I dont even want frigging Office in my Mac. Last time I had a Windows product I trowed it out of the Windows of my car in a sheer frustration rage out of it not working, and obliging me to run Windows emulations programs in my Mac to use it...no, but no thanks. Never again.

It is a pity I cannot give you mod points because it is our thread...you well deserve them sir.
