(esp. with the title) In 2014, with all that panic, we saw/learnt that professionals (admins,programmers,huge companies, e.t.c.) use the open-source code irresponsibly. Also, 2014 taught us that when someone gives us candy, better double check it before we consume it.
I'd rather drop 100.000 bags w/ food over Africa than try to impress the public with idiotic moves, or drop 100.000 DVDs full of e-books rather than a piece of useless crap to entertain several thousands for a couple of hours.
Exactly, also you have no control over that hotspot, the company uses your payed line to make more money, as they sell this to others as a service and on top of everything, you have no control to your router whatsoever, you have to login to the company's website and see what limited options they provide you.
Also, in France I had terrible problems with latencies and ofc with Youtube
I strongly disagree(actually by definition this is false). Linux never suffered from inaccessibility, you *ALWAYS* had your repositories full of software. On top of that you had several solutions to pick from.
I'd I agree with you *if* you mentioned poor quality software(e.g. feature incomplete, or difficult to use)
Actually, MS and Apple copied the way *BSD and Linux distribute their software/packages,simply via repositories... Yes the Apple Store the AppStore the aPPsTORE and all those "I invented it first" *bs* concepts, decent from the simple idea of creating a repository for all your available programs so the user had a front-end to the package manager that collected the software list and you could choose your application. Simple as that
In conclusion, Windows reigns as king because they are the only one who is licensing their OS to PC makers... and PC makers want to keep following the safe path to big sales and that goes with the one who is able to advertise. End of story.
Actually MS is making windows crappier and crappier for production because they never made money from those huge purchasers. A company or an institute that buys services from MS, get their Windows and some version of their Office suite for free, while they pay a lot for other staff. So they focus on fb users and "twitterers" because those are the ones who are paying for basic and home edition.... plain useless and feature naked versions.
YES, Windows 8/8.1 are f********ing great.
E.G. When you got a laptop with windows 7 and you were sad. You had to setup a dual boot because you wanted to have the joy of windows' games and features and ease of use from time to time, but when you were serious you were working on Linux ofc.
Now, you get a laptop with windows 8 and things are pretty clear. No more dual f'ing boots, no "God damn it I forgot to pick the right OS on GRUB2"... now you are just relaxing on boot times, because you have only one choice...just Linux.
You can see obviously that the trends that smartphones created, especially iPhone, are stirring the evolution of the PC (and yes mac IS included as a Personal Computer).
If Apple manages to keep up with the iPhone sales, they can offer a great sandbox solution to the market, e.g. get those files on all your devices by default, no configuration, everything works out of the box, get discount on those purchases from our company e.t.c. they can force their customers to buy iMacs, Macbooks and so forth.
I believe it is not the transition from PPC to x86 that boosted the iMac and macbook sales, although intel had a greater chip in the mobile market, but the fact that the Apple trend rose the same period when they released the iPhone.
As a developer, products like the ones from Apple do not cover my needs, I like to tweak around my devices, add features(mPCI-e cards, extra drivers or batteries, or 2nd VGA , I know it sounds crazy but the Ideapad series offer that) and I use exclusively Debian, so there is no reason to get a system that it's h/w locked and it's software is designed for FB and twitter users.
Do not get me wrong on this, but
you say that you are using apple's products. This by itself is a *thumbsup* to those companies who like to index their users messages, spy on them and jail them into a sandbox forever, because they make a shitload of money. Google would care less if you stopped using its browser, since you are using google, google+, youtube, gmail, have several android phones over the last years and so on. I am not trying to persuade you or someone else to stop using those services, this is something that one must realize without any someone else forcing him/her. What I want to point out is that if you are waiting, in this example, a new iteration of browsers that do not abuse you and your privacy, how do you expect this to happen, when you are supporting the big companies, which buy anything or anyone else that innovates in the market.
Because it seems, from my point of view that big endian is better than naidne elttil. Not performance-wise but in other ways, e.g. debugging raw data from the memory, or getting raw data from the network. Also big endian is the most common one.
Oohhh... and it's also big.
NOT.
I've seen a friend doing the same thing for his thesis(he was an undergraduate) back in 2006 were everything was more expensive(boards,controllers, various modules) and more primitive.
Back then there were no IDEs for boards like arduino, you had very few libraries to work with and everything was done mostly by hand, I remember him building some of the circuits too(custom pcb with components like the gsm module), as some module were to expensive or had a strange shape and couldn't feet with the rest of the components.
Are there minimum requirements to connect to facebook/twitter or read e-mails?
did those sites drop support for older OSes. Does facebook still load on my windows XP machine with an old Athlon?
how do I get that etc? Does apple sell it?
Most people need a bigger screen and a faster tablet, you can't wait the f*ing game to load when your average dumping time is round to 10 mins. You either have to get a faster machine or stay in the toilet a lot longer.
but anyways, you can always get those z196 IBM enterprise servers, they are bigger, faster and they are shipped unlocked, you can even install linux.

In 1986,....
this seems like a calculator to you?
"The machine had vastly more application functionality, including a number of built-in application programs, an easy to use database, a diary and an alarm clock and featured end-user programmability in the form of the successful Organiser Programming Language (OPL), a BASIC-like language which was compiled to intermediate code, in contrast to the interpreters which were commonly available for other consumer computers of the time. More advanced users could reach into the system machine code routines either via direct machine code, or via calls from OPL, and could manipulate the built-in address database as well as create their own."
also the apple thing came out in 1993, while Organiser 2 came out in 1986, that apple things was not even being *developed* until the next year.
Well, since you cannot pick the gpu and since qualcomm couples those CPU with their Adreno (scrambled letters from "Radeon") GPUs I think it is a valid question, because it is possible that a dev-boards might use those cpus/gpus or it will be helpfull for the guys at AOSP to have an oss stack.
Being one of the top of anything can help you become the top of something else.
Do you know what you need to make good sw?
good programmers.
Do you know what you need to get them?
money.
Does Samsung have money?
Yes.
So, can Samsung be a company with good software, if its CEO wants it?
Yes.
Does the hw business help you make good sw?
Yes.
Do you know how?
OFC, you have your own platform that sells like shit and then you can make the sw and optimize it for you own platform.
Do you know any other company that does that?
Yes. Apple.
Apple makes good hw or sw?
None of them, but both of the combined give a great result because they design both and know how to hide each ones flaws.
In the end, Samsung became what it is today and it started as a fruit/vegetable vendor IIRC.
"I have been forced to pray and attend mass both during my school years and my mandatory military service."
ahahahah, what a shitload of crap.
first of all you can skip all of those.
nobody , who is non-christian is forced by the school to go to church, you can even skip the 1 hour of the corresponding lesson,as the school only suggests that for those 2-3 important religious occasions the school will go to church, but you can skip it and go straight to school.
Secondly, you can always, even at the school and also at the army, declare that you are not a christian so you will avoid all those.
The bottom line is that the religion is attached to the government, not because everybody is crazy about the religion, but because during the 400 years that the ottomans where in greece, church was one of the few things that supported people, educated children (not talking about ) and helped people to sustain their identity and language.
I would like also to comment on the article. That guy, who said that he is/was unemployed by that time, he made a facebook page to make fun of people that are more religious than others.
First of all, everybody has the right to believe what he/she wants and noone has the right to insult him in any way even if it's the most stupid thing that a man can make up.
Secondly, if you consider yourself to have IQ greater than 50, you are supposed to be productive, consider your future, make your life better and so forth. For me it is completely stupid to bash other people for their weaknesses which one of them is religion.
The Greek media work in a way that if you say anything against illegal immigrants, or Muslims or everybody else except Greeks and Greek reality then you are a fascist, racist and a Nazi. It's a trend actually to bash greeks and anything that involves them.
What is the story really about?
An immature guy, at his late 20's, who thinks that he is making his balls bigger by bashing people on facebook.
Like there wasn't already enough stupidity on the internet!
I am using nightly many years and never had any problems.
there was a problem 3-4 years ago with fast dial, but only because there was a problem into the verification from the mozilla site.
the rest of my 25+ plugins work flawlessly and i am in version 29 or 28, which seems more like chrome, and chrome has a bad UI.
generally speaking, 20 to 25 does not change a lot of things in the plugin api.
The days were 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 were completely different and had many compatibility issues are past.
ÂHumans have trouble remembering passwords with more than seven characters, and it is difficult to enter long, complex passwords into mobile devicesÂ
let's say you type your current 7-char password 2 times, is it harder to remember? I guess it will be even harder to remember to type it 3 times, if 14-chars are no longer safe enough in the future.

If they achieve to clone only 1, it is doomed to masturbate a lot.
