You might also want to look up the definition of "idiom." You can't assume you know what the phrase means, just because you know what the individual words mean.
Back in 1984, hardcore geeks called the Mac a 'toy' because of point-and-click, icons, smiley faces etc. Then guess what - ALL computers picked up those features. They just got rid of the smiley faces to turn them into "serious business" machines.
Fun isn't mutually exclusive with productivity, but it's in how you use it. Nobody
If you want to look at current toys that might one day make the switchover look at drones, immersive technology, 3d printing, and the handsfree interfaces of xbox/wii
What I would like is a robot arm that takes the game disc out of the Xbox/Wii, puts it away, and puts in another one I want to play next.
You do realize that Mac OS just BARELY got fullscreen mode
No ida what you man with that. Probably that apps that don't ned "full screen mode" now have such a mode?, Like TextEdit.app?
I think he means the app's main window expands to fill the whole screen, Ctrl-Cmd-F. What Windows users call "maximize."
The green button on Mac app windows never really stood for "maximize." It's a zoom button, which toggles between an app's default state and the "user" state which is whatever custom configuration the user resized the window to. It doesn't look like a toggle button, but there you are.
Users still expected it to mean "maximize," so Apple provided full-screen mode to scratch that itch.
Most of the money they're taking out of your pocket is going to retirees, sick and disabled veterans, and the military. Are you going to tell them why they don't deserve it? They've paid their dues.
Myself, I'd rather have my tax dollars go to help someone who doesn't deserve it than to bomb someone who doesn't deserve it.

Heh. Reminds me of a headline I saw many years ago:
"Bush to Reign in Federal Spending"
Does that mean you're done talking out of your ass? I highly doubt that. Being uninformed has never seemed an impediment to you expressing an opinion.
Reductionism doesn't work on technical jargon.

No worries. And sorry if you thought I was calling you a 'nobody' - I started another sentence and hit 'submit' when I meant to keep editing. :)
Came here to make the same joke, you beat me to it! :)
Side note: how is this incident a "hazing?" I don't think that word means what they think it means...
Damning it with faint praise?
I'm waiting for a distro over which people say, "Try this, it'll change your life!"
Sorry if you got the impression I was disagreeing.

Yep - that would be a game-changer.
I know, didn't we just have a funeral for these clowns?

I can't believe any judge would find this reasonable.
This is equivalent to the police asking a warrant to search your house, and getting a key to every house in the country.

Free South Africa, you dumb sonofabitch!
