They fought them off successfully because they were never a Soviet puppet state like e.g. Poland or Bulgaria. They had to not aggravate the Soviets post-war lest they get "liberated" but otherwise had freedom and self-rule.
The flip side is that if you can join a union shop without paying your dues, you're freeloading: the union's representing those interests of yours that coincide with their membership's for free. It's very much like getting government services without having to pay taxes.
Still qualifies as a nasty hack in my book because you have to use a tool to modify your install media. I kept a dedicated Windows install DVD just for my work-issued Macbook 2,1 back in the day.
To be fair, they could get a server license for OS X for $20 and use any random 10.10-compatible Mac as a server that can push out configuration policies, install some software, etc. It's still weaksauce compared to what AD can do.
It annoys the crap out of us that Apple ties their OS to their hardware, in such a way that we can legally set up OS X virtual servers in VMware, but only if the host computer is made by Apple... and they haven't made honest-to-god servers since 2009.
Unfortunately you need a nasty hack to get 64-bit Windows 7 to boot on a MacPro 1,1 because it's got 32-bit firmware; this is true of several early Intel Macs.
You really should upgrade to 8.1, it's free for legit 8 users and Metro apps now have a standard title bar with minimize/maximize/close buttons. For me they usually open as windows instead of full-screen.
Pfft. You have a legitimate complaint about the UI being bad for non-touch use, but then you started talking about using "all sorts of undocumented APIs". If they're undocumented, then how in the hell would a third-party (and open source, so review the source and give me a cite) program like Classic Shell use them?
Spot the guy who doesn't actually keep up with developments but has Dunning-Kruger'd himself into thinking he knows what he's talking about.
Besides much better support for newer devices and software, Win8x has a lot of performance improvements in such things as over-the-network copying (support for SMB 2.x and 3.x), boot and reboot time, RAM usage, &c. You also get better multi-monitor support, vastly better available security (some of it needs rewritten/recompiled programs), and the ability to use >2TB partitions and devices. You'd have to be an idiot to prefer W2K to a modern version of Windows.
Are you one of those neckbeards who insist that Version 7, or perhaps 4.3BSD, was the last real version of Unix?
In the sense that a Mac Mini is a "workgroup server", I suppose. By enterprise I'm referring to operations with several hundred to thousands+ employees. IIRC their official server tool for managing iOS and OS X devices will start getting really bad performance past ~300 devices and after that they recommend a third-party tool that's $$$.
Oh, come off it. Install something like Classic Shell and an average user will barely know the difference between 7 and 8. I have confirmed this empirically with dozens of users.
Let's cut taxes and the federal budget! That'll take care of/all/ our problems!
Seriously. You keep cutting funding and then complain about getting less than you expect, then decide that since the government is failing it's time to make it/fail harder/ and cut revenue further.
Neoliberalism is a cancer on Western civilization.
In the wake of the Obama Administration encouraging use of HTTPS, Ted Cruz was reported as saying that encryption was a government conspiracy to deprive godfearing Americans of their privacy.
Lots of death penalty proponents think revenge/making an example is a valid reason for this punishment. A quick, painless death won't satisfy their bloodlust as much as a firing squad or electrocution.
This. Several states still have old disused gas chambers that should be easy to retrofit for nitrogen asphyxiation. I'm not a fan of the death penalty because even today we have innocent people being jailed and/or executed, but if we must do it, this is probably the best and most humane method.
Your link proves nothing. All it says is that tech companies pushed for a few changes around the 20th of February, but fails to say what those changes were or whether, as you parrot, they're against any rule or law.

That's how you prove to someone that you're not full of shit, folks.

When has Apple ever cared sweet fuck-all about enterprise?

Because operating systems come with web browsers these days. If you don't have one, your OS is crippled by design and the users will rebel.
They could bundle someone else's browser, but by now that's pointless.
IE4 wasn't all that good, actually. From what I remember it was notorious for crashing, especially if you enabled Active Desktop.
Not that contemporary Netscape was known for /not/ crashing.
That's just it, though: Windows /is/ so functional out of the box, it's just that you're too lazy to put in the effort to learn how to use it best.
If you want cygwin, you know where to find it.
'ere, now. Texas isn't the whole USA.
