Why not discuss the technical fucking merits of his question, rather than break out the edgelord fedora and go off the rails on why he should or should not have switched? It adds literally zero to the discussion and is not even remotely of interest.
How much longer can apple keep spinning iPhones into gold though? Of course the same argument can be made about office/windows/outlook -- but still. there's a bit more of a lock-in there, and no reasonable competition.
Apple will always have to contend with Android, which is constantly improving -- much like desktop Linux has been constantly getting better, and at a faster rate than OSX / Windows.
So the dude has a set of lofty ethics for his work.. i fail to see how this is a bad thing.. What fans should really appreciate is that he's not doing the quick cash grab (which he could surely do.)
How servile and feeble minded.. "bu bu but the sign said!" Are you stupid, trolling, or just argumentative?
If you cannot honestly see how sticking a 20-25 mph zone in the middle of an arterial (that has speed of 45) is somewhere between a feel good policy (IE, think of the children!) and existing entirely for revenue generation, i really don't know what to tell you.
Further, if you don't 'get' how it could be more of a safety risk to focus on dropping your speed in half, watching out for kids, the jackhole behind you who doesn't get what a 'school zone' is AND of course the cops who hunt motorists who are over the limit by even one MPH in such zones (the fine is double of course, go figure) -- someone should really break your fingers to give you a mandatory 6 week no-typing vacation.
People like are you (suburban soccer mom perhaps?) are the reason we don't get nice things. As soon as someone trots out anything safety related, logic and risk assessment go completely out in the window in lieu of fluffy feel good nonsense. Never mind the ACTUAL FUCKING EFFECTIVENESS OF WHAT YOU SUGGEST.
Modern Economics is basically about picking up pennies off the ground, while standing in front of a steam roller.
Trying to predict with any degree of accuracy something as random and chaotic as the market (In Greece none the less) is bound to end up going poorly on a long enough time line.
Exactly, example would be a school zone (25 mph) in the middle of a 45 mile zone. Chances are you're too busy checking your speedometer than looking out for children in the crossing, or hoping the guy behind you realizes the speed drops by nearly half.
Here's the problem though. While pedo's make for an abhorrent target, and due process just seems 'too good for them' -- where does the mob mentality end? We have a criminal justice system in civilized societies for a reason (inb4 anti-american snark).
If the angry mob decided tomorrow that some belief or group membership was wrong, should they be allowed to take matters into their own hands? Pretend for a moment that these were jaywalkers or people with overdue library books.
Lady Justice is not Heimdall or Janus, for a very good reason.
No. Lookit, printing a car body in 44 hours is a joke. Any auto plant in the world can probably turn out a thousand or so a day.
If anything this might be disruptive to MAACO or some other body shop -- dent up your fusion, and they can print out a replacement panel in a day or two.
3d printing is cool, but right now (and probably forever) it's just hype.
i know if i were trying someone, and wanted them to appear as a criminal mastermind, a self penned manifesto/journal would be an incredibly convenient piece of evidence. Perfectly convenient, it could turn a technically challenging case into a total slam dunk.
Fortune favors the feds in such situations it seems.
you don't patent the glasses as single, monolithic item. you make up about 300 bullshit patents like "method for utilizing parallax to create depth of view in wearable binocular computer displays.. on the internet"
Similar to a state legislature deciding on an official value for pi. I wonder how many Senators took more than a few terms of basic science in pursuit of their law/business degrees?
Further imagine how much lobbyist money is going to be wasted if the vote goes the wrong way and an alternative result is needed? There are much bigger issues to be bought, talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.
Look at any engineering program in the US -- how many pakistani / arab students are there? How hard would it be for someone actually motivated to use such a device to find one of these students who either already had resentment towards the west, or had family back home who could be used as leverage?*
The complexity involved in *using* these tools, pales in comparison to developing them. All it would it take is getting an impressionable kid to design it.
*I only mention the pakistani/arab aspect because perhaps they'd be more sympathetic to a terrorists point of view to begin with. Before someone cries out 'racism' -- bear in mind just because something is uncomfortable to think, doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.

why did i post before reading this, and thus lose the ability to mod :(
well to be honest, any old bullet with sufficient velocity stops aging in its tracks -- especially if applied directly to forehead.
yeah, my thoughts exactly. "We don't have anything solid, so we'll pin it on the go-to hatred du jour'".
And, looking at the comments just about everyone takes the bait.
Dude, our tech tree is no where NEAR Ion Thrusters.
Honestly we're still in the Keep stage in Warcraft 2, we have yet to graduate to Starcraft.
Sigh. Okay, desktop linux is now at the point where grandma and grandpa can use it, it wasn't always so.
I don't care about fragmentation in this context. As a viable alternative to osx/windows, linux has been getting progressively 'better'.

You must buy into the SJW propaganda on tumblr.

I think we'd need Rich Kyanka to join the race and oppose Drew Curtis.
And that lack of capability is 'disruptive' or threatening to their business model somehow?
I'm not taking exception to what they're doing, nor discounting the 'cool' factor -- but to claim it's DISRUPTIVE to the auto industry is silly.
To what, play warcraft 2?

progressives are also much better at the avoidance of buying into stereotypes as well.

that is a naive and dangerous assumption.

only an idiot thinks prices will stay this low.
seriously, this happened in 2008 as well.
