You're confusing toll roads with member-only access to a building.
If NYTimes requires people to pay to view their articles, it's their business. But without net neutrality, it would give that power to the ISPs and completely fragment and destroy American's internet access.
You want to hear about how annoying Windows 10 can be?
Last week-end I went to a LAN party to play games with friends. Upon installing a new game I had to reboot. Rebooting took much longer than usual and I immediately knew something was wrong. After a few minutes, Windows finally decided to let me know, the puny owner of the computer in question, that it was busy installing the "Falls Creators Update" or whatever the fuck that was.
I ended up waiting over one hour for this fucking unwanted update to finish.
What if it decided to start this shit when I tried to shutdown the computer instead? It says not to power down the PC while it's doing the upgrade so I would have had to leave my PC at my friend's place... what if I lived hours away and only go there once a month?
Why couldn't Windows ASK ME if it was a good time to install this shit? Unbelievable. The fucking idiots at Microsoft have no clue how people use their computers.
I see each operating system as being the best for specific scenarios: - macOS for desktop (no need to worry about KDE vs Gnome, ALSA vs whatever, etc). - Linux/BSD for servers (from the smallest to the biggest). - Windows for gaming and enterprise users.
DIP switches were fine for selecting adresses, IRQs and DMAs but what good could they do now apart from being on/off switches? As I said, everything is now integrated in microcontrollers these days. All you could hope to do is toggle power to complete microcontrollers but since they each do a lot of functions in a single chip, even that idea wouldn't work.
ColaMan's post was informative to the question I asked. I then replied with a joke since "full stop" is funny to me, english being a secondary language. It's also a joke about the insane amount of new "characters" emoji crap that we now have to endure since it's part of unicode.
But your post? It just makes me want to post something about wooshing sounds. As for my "ego", this is a stupid account on a now-mostly-pointless website, I don't care what you think.
This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die.
The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man.
Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in me and understanding my value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease.
The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. I will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man.
We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple.
Now that the secret is out (it was security by obscurity), hackers, viruses and trojans will try to hack your intel CPU. Once it's hacked, the hack could be inside the CPU itself so reformatting your HDD or even install a different OS wouldn't matter.

Would you watch a stream of programmers typing on their keyboards? No, because it's pointless.
Humans watch other humans playing sports because they're too fucking lazy to play sports themselves.
Oh, "for the teams", you say? That's tribalism, meaning you have the same brain processes as cavemen.
The less money they have in their bank account, the more they'll have to actually work on making their Macs better in order to sell more of them.
I never said such a thing. All they need is to keep ISPs classified as common carriers, otherwise trouble will follow.

http://ethereumpets.com/ was already bought by someone.
And how are we supposed to buy these "Digi-mon", man? With DigiBytes?
I'm not a faggot, I'm a furry! Get your facts straight!

Forget the emails, we all know what this is about: faster streaming of tentacle porn in UHD! Fuck ya!

So.... U+1F6D1 ?
You're assuming that he's the only one in charge of everything? Surely he has people under him to manage things too.
He really seems to have both the money and the personality of fictional character Tony Stark, played by the excellent Robert Downey Jr.*
* his name is Robert Downey Jr. so am I supposed to just write two periods to end my sentence or what?
Mono on Linux. Funny.
Since Elon Musk is alone and assembles each and every car in the factory, your comment makes a lot of sense.
If you can't tell that from the screenshot alone, you're not a nerd.
GET OUT.

With all the phoney languages out there right now, I'm surprised nobody's created wifescript yet.
Here's a few keywords for the language:
eatChocolates,askDiamonds,getFlowers,pms,makeSandwich,notTonightHeadache
You wrote it wrong. The proper form is as follow:
Do you want X?
Because that's how you get X.
+1 for the obligatory Skynet reference
+1 for the Archer reference

"<code>" tag abused, comment ignored.
It's all microcontrollers these days, DIP switches mean nothing since you can't be sure the firmware code will honour the DIP switches configurations.
