Theories in the report suggest the more time a person spends online, the less time they have for real-world interactions.
If time spent on social media was worth as much as time spent in the real world, you could argue that it balances out. Unfortunately, time spent on social media is mostly time wasted on social media. The quality of interactions just isn't there. So in the final analysis, social media degrades the quality of the user's life.
Of course, that void then creates a hunger for contact, which the user tries to fill with still more social media use, because it's easy to do, rather than get off your butt and walk the dog, pick up the phone and call someone, or knock on your neighbor's door and ask them if they want to come over for coffee or tea.
Linux users are certainly not stake-holders. This is a Windows-centric business
The project is to create a Linux laptop for Linux users. Linux users are the primary stakeholders. Are you a moron?
You obviously haven't visited their website. They're not creating a new product just for linux - they're marketing their (to now non-existent) next-gen Windows gaming laptop to linux users as well. So who's the moron?
And if you look at the complaints wrt support, there is no way anyone who isn't a moron is going to bite.
It was shared with your ISP. That's enough. Your ISP may now consider you a risky customer, because this notice, which was shared with them, can damage your reputation with them.

You drive along, you've gotta pee.
Billboards changing what you see.

The sarcasm you missed because you don't know what "man" is. Man is an OS command that holds no information on programming languages. Or did you not know that either?
Obviously you never used >man or programmed in c under any *nix."
man page (short for manual page) is a form of software documentation usually found on a Unix or Unix-like operating system. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
Man 2 is for system calls. Man 3 is for library functions, lots of c stuff in both. And there are whole sections on other programming languages. Try man perl to see what comes up. LOTS of information for programming in perl. There's also interesting and informative sections on programming with bash, sed, awk, etc. With enough background, you don't need the internet - the man pages and source code should be enough, even for multi-threaded programming in c.
Section 2 of the manual describes the Linux system calls. A system call is an entry point into the Linux kernel. Usually, system calls are not invoked directly: instead, most system calls have corresponding C library wrapper functions which perform the steps required (e.g., trapping to kernel mode) in order to invoke the system call. Thus, making a system call looks the same as invoking a normal library function.
For a list of the Linux system calls, see syscalls(2).
Return Value
On error, most system calls return a negative error number (i.e., the negated value of one of the constants described in errno(3)). The C library wrapper hides this detail from the caller: when a system call returns a negative value, the wrapper copies the absolute value into the errno variable, and returns -1 as the return value of the wrapper.
The value returned by a successful system call depends on the call. Many system calls return 0 on success, but some can return nonzero values from a successful call. The details are described in the individual manual pages.
In some cases, the programmer must define a feature test macro in order to obtain the declaration of a system call from the header file specified in the man page SYNOPSIS section. (Where required, these feature test macros must be defined before including any header files.) In such cases, the required macro is described in the man page. For further information on feature test macros, see feature_test_macros(7).
Conforming To
Certain terms and abbreviations are used to indicate UNIX variants and standards to which calls in this section conform. See standards(7).
Notes
Calling directly
In most cases, it is unnecessary to invoke a system call directly, but there are times when the Standard C library does not implement a nice wrapper function for you. In this case, the programmer must manually invoke the system call using syscall(2). Historically, this was also possible using one of the _syscall macros described in _syscall(2).
Authors and copyright conditions
Look at the header of the manual page source for the author(s) and copyright conditions. Note that these can be different from page to page!

The thing is, they say they want to be building the best linux laptop ever, and yet they are not a laptop manufacturer. It's all done through third parties as batch runs. That's why their "best" isn't in stock - you can't order what they don't have. This is an attempt to generate enough hype to place an order for a batch of the non-existent high-end Windows laptops (because that's what they are - Windows gaming laptops, just without Windows).
Linux users are certainly not stake-holders. This is a Windows-centric business, and looking at the complaints about support on their facebook page, have fun with linux support.
Only a fool would believe any of their linux hype. I am not a fool (at least not THAT big a fool).
The cheapest of the Razer line is just a generic Windows laptop with some LEDs and an overpriced sticker, for $2k. You can buy better for less anywhere. If you want, as they claim, "the best laptop", you're not going to look at their cheap piece of shit - you're going to look at their best - which starts at $4k, and doesn't even exist.
So if you want to talk about dishonesty, Razer is just doing a bait-and-switch with this. They're not even a laptop manufacturer.
Jesus Christ, you must be really, really new here. All the old-timers know my birth name, and it didn't begin with a "B". Can you be any lamer?
And no, this is NOT for a linux system. Their web site advertises it as a Windows system. Period. No mention of linux whatsoever except on their failbook page - you know, the one with all the complaints about shitty service.
All they're selling is Windows boxes. All they're ever going to sell is Windows boxes. They're trying to go after linux users - but there is nothing special about their hardware that makes is linux-specific. And the model they're pimping doesn't even exist yet, which with a starting price of $4k, is understandable, Their cheaper models are nothing special.
Programmers have always built their own libraries - even in assembler, like I did. So what's your point? Mine is that nowadays most so-called programmers can't build proper libraries, they just grab code off the net and hope there's no edge cases.
The man pages weren't designed for people who are "cut-n-paste" coders. So be sarcastic all you want - it shows that you don't understand their proper use and limitations.
And no, if you're just "solving riddles", you're still just a flunky following orders. Because that's what flunkies do. Follow orders.
Nonsense. You're ignoring everyone who sat on their asses rather than vote, as well as everyone who went 3rd party. Dream on. The only ones who would have a gut "socialism == communism" reaction were dyed-in-the-wool republicans. Everyone else already knows that socialism has nothing to do with communism.
The quotes are all over the net. Not just huffpost. The court judgments wrt Trump's discrimination against blacks is part of the public legal record. His remarks about blacks and jews are also something he admits he probably said. So bite me.
If you used their answer in your app, then you damn well had better pay them. There are plenty of crappy online businesses that don't have anyone who can actually code, and use these "interviews" to fix their f*cked up products.
"The Razer Blade series have become the default coding machine for many out there"
Uh... No?
Show of hands here on Slashdot - which coders here use that as their default machine?
Let's make it simpler - "How many here on slashdot have ever heard of the company?" "How many know that it's main products are just stupid accessories with LEDs all over the place for gamers so they can look "edgy" while gaming in their mom's basement? How many think that paying $4k USD for a non-existent "Pro" laptop is stupid? How many are willing to pay $2k to $3k for a 14" laptop designed to run Windows 10?
With the Razer Blade and Windows 10, you can start from the desktop you’ve always known. Windows 10 is the best combination of Windows – with lots of similarities to Windows 7 including the Start menu. Enjoy access to stunning DirectX 12 visuals while getting the most performance out of your Razer Blade. Also stream games from your Xbox One console right to your Blade.
And forget the UHD displays - they cost more and are not yet available.
But it runs Windows 10! Their "Pro" is f*cking ridiculously priced @$4k with a 512 gig SSD and you won't get one because they're all "out of stock." And their cheaper lines are just not something worth writing home about in terms of specs. You can get better cheaper anywhere else. And their facebook page has LOTS of complaints.
But slap the word "linux" on it and people go stupid. Is there ANY computer out there today that doesn't run linux?
Sorry, but if you go to their website, (1), it's out of stock (as if it ever was in stock) and (2) they want $4k for the cheapest model. At that price, this is vaporware that will never condense into our reality.
You're out of luck. This "announcement", or more accurately, slashvertisement, is bullshit. Here's what they're offering on their website.

It's fraud if you have absolutely no intention of hiring them after, while they're under the impression it might lead to a job offer.
They want $4k for that (the razer pro). And don't bother trying to order it, it's not available. And it's designed to run Windows 10.
