People run RedHat for the long-term support. Enterprises don't like being forced to upgrade on a vendor's schedule, and RedHat was the first Linux provider to recognize that and cater to it. Timely security upgrades for a consistent platform - over years - is what enterprise users want. And like it or not, that is a technological meaning.
Uh... no. SLES (Oct 2001) came months before RHELAS (Mar 2002) and even so Red Hat doesn't acknowledge the existence of 2.1 (wikipedia does) which still came after regardless. Red Hat's official position is that RHELAS didn't exist until v3 (Jan 2004). Feature for feature, IMHO, Red Hat didn't have an enterprise worthy product until RHEL 5.
I get your meaning, you just used the wrong distro in your argument.
Reporter: We caught up briefly with Tim as he getting off a crowded transit bus. We asked, "Now that you've lot all that money, what adjustments are you going to have to make?"
Tim: "Obviously we're eating out less, driving less, more walking, fewer movies. On the plus side, we're enjoying more interaction with our neighbors at outdoor barbeques and spaghetti nights. Community is the key."
Maybe they discharge at 30%, but they charge to 130%! With some recent battery innovations, they may be able to reach 150% of charge and shut down at 50%!!!!
Talking to their head of support, Nigel Tufnel, he said that's exactly what happens.
I think you're wrong.
I think most people believe that at the end of tax season, if you get a refund that somehow it means you didn't pay taxes. What that often times means is that you paid too much in taxes. I'm a very generous person. So, indeed, if you give 50% of your earnings away to charity, you'd think that maybe you get achieve this "no tax" sort of status, but actually the government restricts the benefit so that you can't just "give it all away" and reap some outrageous deduction benefit (those who are highly charitable know this to be true).
The goal at the end of a tax year to to either get nothing back from the government or pay very little to them. If you get a huge refund back it's because you gave the government too much and while it might seem nice to get the money back, it's without interest (well, somebody got the interest and it wasn't you).
The tax code is huge. And its so huge because it tries to make sure that loop holes or some "secret" way isn't present. Not saying their isn't some kind of "magic" way to avoid paying taxes, but could be a very very very small probability.
With that said, if you are reading this and if you are above the "line" where you have to pay taxes (essentially you are above low poverty levels), please feel free to let us all know how you avoid paying taxes.
I get that they don't want to turn off the phone because some people may not have access to another phone to call for emergency services, but how are those people going to call for emergency services when their Galaxy Note 7 starts a house fire?
This really is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
But... what if you quickly toss the phone to your neighbor, through their window.... and they toss it to their neighbor. Sort of like "hot potato". Eventually it gets tossed into the Fire Station and is easily dealt with. So maybe it's just a simple matter of documentation and education? It may sound "difficult" but if you make it into a game, who knows?
Americans already make cars. Even "Japanese" (Honda, Toyota) cars sold in the US are usually made in the US.
iPhones and other smartphones being made here will probably up the prices slightly, but most of the estimates I've heard are absurd.
iPhones could be made completely in the US and Apple could charge the exact same price for them as they do now and the only difference is Apple's profits would go from ridiculously obscene to only slightly obscene.
But where (in the USA) would you make them? Industry is "dirty"... we only do clean businesses.... like McDonalds.
Actually it's better to say "Japanese...etc" cars sold in the US. are usually made in North America (really saying USA is just wrong).
These companies like to brag to US citizens about how their cars are made in North America because people in the USA don't understand there's more to North America than just the USA.
Slashdot has been getting harder to read because of what I assume to be the army of paid political shills chiming into every conversation about politics - which in my opinion doesn't belong on slashdot - but when the GOD DAMNED EDITORS CAN'T EVEN FORMULATE A SENTENCE?!?
The new Microsoft Ear is an exciting add-on to popular phone that might be lacking a headphone jack.
Just plug it in or get the Deluxe Elephant Ear case (in genuine immitation rogue elephant hide leather) and now you have a place to plug in your head phones!

Completely agreed. Elimination of cash means the government knows everything you are doing.
Possibly. Right now the only one that knows what you are doing is Go..ogle. Might save time?
It's even more interesting that Obama saved millions of jobs during his time in office
Obama didn't save any jobs. Jobs have been replaced with lower-paying jobs.
Uh... Jobs is dead. May he rest in peace.
The way things are going, when they do this next year, you might be the recipient of that new Chromebook and maybe a blanket and a warm meal.
Actually it's ok since he got a copy of The Cobbler downloaded too.
Since there is no reward for being a long term subscriber and all discounts are for being "new"... this isn't a bad idea.

Somebody told me it's next the headphone jack.
