Funny how that was edited after I posted, isn't it? Also, note that it says it's an alternative for informal usage. That means maybe it's alright in the discussion threads, but the article and summary should use the original word.
You may want to consider using relatime rather than noatime on your data mounts, although either is likely fine for purely executable mounts. relatime allows the atime to not be updated on every access, but will update it once after each change to the file so that tools checking for relative order of ctime/mtime/atime still work.
They are likely faking the area code and exchange. I live in Texas with a central Illinois phone number. I get calls all the time from people who admit they're in Florida or overseas, but from exchanges in central Illinois. VOIP services make this relatively simple to do. Heck, I have a VOIP number I could call from in Missouri, but I'm not in Missouri and have no physical phone there.
SQL/PSM isn't SQL. It's a second, optional language added to the SQL standards and competes with the likes of TSQL, PL/SQL, and PL/pgSQL. It's an optional extension with different syntax. If you're arguing (by just mentioning it) that SQL/PSM and SQL are the same thing, then we may as well say C#, C++, Objective-C, Cilk, and C-with-classes are all C. Lump Delphi and Ada into the Pascal bucket. Call SML and OCaml both just ML.
Yes, Arduino has a special preprocessor for C++. Many projects have their own preprocessors, template kits, custom configurators, or custom build systems. That doesn't mean the language isn't still C++. Visual C++ is still C++. Delphi is still Object Pascal, and C++ with Boost or the STL or some custom preprocessing that is still written as C++ is C++. The Arduino FAQ lets you know that the recommended language is just C or C++ with some custom functions and some preprocessing. It also goes on to say you can program it in any language that supports the processor so long as you link against the proper libraries. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main...
That it is, but it's not generally used to develop actual standalone software. Apart from the odd one-off ad hoc query it's wrapped by another language and often has a stored procedure or several in another (possibly different still) language.
I'd start counting flaws but I don't have all day. At least these are readily apparent.
HTML is not a programming language. It's a markup language, and although one might be able to coerce HTML5 and CSS3 together into being Turing complete that's an emergent property best thought of as a bug.
SQL is a query language. Fairly sophisticated data manipulations can be done with it, but it's typically used with an actual programming language to develop applications.
Arduino isn't a language at all. It's a hardware device which can be programmed in various languages. There is an approved IDE but more than one language supports the platform.
Cuda is not a language, but a toolkit for GPU programming that's used from multiple different languages.
Shell and assembly are each more than one language. May as well by that logic call Clojure, Scheme, and Racket part of Lisp. Call JavaScript and ActionScript both ECMAScript.
The method of looking at searches for "X programming" specifically gives an advantage to languages that don't lend themselves to search or need disambiguation like C, Go, Python, Ruby, R, S, D, shell, assembly, or Crystal. Languages with distinct names like Perl, Erlang, JavaScript, Smalltalk, ActionScript, or Matlab don't generally need such qualification.
Spend four bucks. A wall wart is not at all the same thing as able-bodied folks taking up all the accessible bathroom stalls or parking spaces. If you can afford all your devices, you can afford some breakout cables.
I have GOG, too. And Origin. And I install stuff from the Mint and Debian repositories. And I still have older stuff on optical disk or *gasp* floppies. It's not all or nothing on a single vendor.
The web offerings are those publishers' way of both targeting multiple problems. They get cross-platform without the expense of a native version on every OS, true. They capture ongoing revenue from people unlikely to upgrade native installations regularly. They lower support costs by not dealing with old versions on strange OS configurations. They focus more on the functionality than on OS-supplied library niggles.
I'm not very up to date on Creative Suite, so I couldn't say whether the online version is a full and true replacement for the Windows and macOS variants, but full color calibration at the least seems problematic over the Web. Either way, the online version isn't a Linux replacement for a Windows version. If you think any iOS or Android app or a web app on a phone will replace Photoshop and Illustrator with a big monitor and an input tablet you're obviously not a professional graphic artist.
Intuit publishes QuickBooks, and Sage publishes Peachtree and Sage Accounting.
Nobody else can just publish those for Linux. If you want those exact programs on another OS, you must convince the publishers it's a worthwhile market.
As https://slashdot.org/~pthisis already said, the battery life of the fire is pretty good for a full tablet. Compared to a regular Kindle or other dedicated e-Ink or e-Paper displays it's awful. If I want a dedicated reader from a reputable company I can find if anything goes wrong, my choices right now are between a few scales of grey and a full-color screen with a big, multi-core processor sitting behind it.
If I could get something with just a few colors (like a desktop computer from 25 to 35 years ago) on e-paper or e-ink for magazine images, charts and graphs in trade paperbacks and textbooks, maps, and maybe the odd comic or something that would be great. I could still have a month-long battery life. I could differentiate data more clearly and quickly. I don't need a 2ms panel response time, 8 threads of execution, or 32 billion colors for a reader. But there's not really any middle ground right now between the greyscale reader market and the general purpose tablet market.
Right now if I want color, I just read on my Note, get out a laptop, or wait until I'm at a desktop. I'd buy a newer Kindle if it was 256 (VGA equivalent), 64 (EGA), 16, 8 , or maybe even just 4 (CGA) colors. I don't think I'm alone in this market segment.
Waterproof is great but I want something between the black e-ink and the comparably horrible battery life of a Fire. Could I have a 256, 64, or 16 - even 4 ! - color e-ink display that's not from some no-name Chinese company? Please? Something that's decent for charts and web comics doesn't need to have full color and instant screen updates.
TL;DR : either you count all the distros among the distros or you don't. If you're counting just base kernels there are more BSD variants than Linux variants.

The word "install" is a verb. The noun is "installation". You install something. The something in a state of having been installed is an installation.
You invite someone with an invitation. A judge passes judgment. Someone passing judgment when one shouldn't is being judgmental.
News for nerds, parts of speech that matter.
That this was announced without Scott Bakula being on stage at some industry event is already a lost opportunity. They really should get him on board.

RHEL, not RedHat Linux5 and 6.
Arson is a crime, but negligence is plenty for a civil award of money.
So you mean to say you never used it back when it was StarOffice? Or after the name change to OpenOffice but before the fork?
I also wonder if you've used Lotus SmartSuite, Corel Office, or the stuff that WizardWorks used to put out. Or Microsoft's own Works.
I have GOG, too. And Origin. And I install stuff from the Mint and Debian repositories. And I still have older stuff on optical disk or *gasp* floppies. It's not all or nothing on a single vendor.
Linux Mint Cinnamon and Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE2) are both handling Steam just fine at my house and have been for many months.

I notice a pattern that you call out the availability of one crap version of something and pretend it has monopoly market share.
Maybe they're getting ready to launch the Facebook Virtual Assistant.
Isn't Bangalore overdone these days? I hear good things about second outsourcing centers in Hyderabad...

Oh, come now. Right now I'd love to have a POTUS who could at least recognize smart peers and recognize good ideas to steal.
