Everyone should use Ford. There is far too much fragmentation in the car industry. Its even worse than it looks with European cars, because not only can you get several models of German car, you can get British an Italian cars, and you can buy them in a whole range of colours too!
The car intustry is totally fucked.
BUT You NEVER wake up and find some arsehole has taken you car and converted it to right-hand-drive when you too it in for the 6,000 mile service.
That is what Unity did to us.
I dont hate Unity (although I certainly dont like it). I absolutely DO hate fuckers who change my UI without asking in the name of a routine bug fix. Shuttleworth - I am looking at You
I do my CAD on Linux, even though the choice of software is rubbish. I have a 27" 4k screen.
Do you really think I am going to do CAD on a 5" phone screen? Or a "Smart" TV that reports all my designs directly to China/Korea, any other random unspecified place. That brings "nuts!" to a whole new level.
cheaper than having to get stuff from IBM or Oracle/Sun.
OTOH second hand Oracle stuff is dirt cheap. (Don't know abut IBM). You can get an Oracle T1000 with 16 threads for less than $100, built to a spec that few Intel boxes could dream of. The clock speed isn't very high (1GHz?) but the memory bandwidth means all those threads all run full speed. And it only draws about 200W.
Of course, only Solaris and OpenBSD run on it, and your favorite game probably wont (unless you are still playing Colossal Cave [how the hell do you get the pearl out of the oyster?] and "Hunt the Wumpus"). In fact, it probably does not do graphics at all. But SQL goes pretty fast. And, if running Solaris, so does cryptography.
Not everyone is into FPSes, most corporates are not.
Algol68 was extremely easy to use, and allowed programmers to use parallelism with only a very limited amount of learning. And that was in 1968! You did, of course, have to understand the problem you were coding, but if you don't understand that, then your program will probably fail in bizarre ways anyway.
It did indeed have a construct like:
foreach blah in group { result[i++] = do_stuff(blah); }
Nope. The customers were down too and never noticed. Granma was wrong - put all your eggs in the biggest damn basket you can find. You may lose all your eggs when the basket goes nuclear, but Joe public will have bigger things than eggs on his mind!
(Nuclear baskets are really scary - take it from me!)
Maybe F1 does, you can get even get automatic trucks these days. Just try reversing a 40' long automatic truck into a loading bay with potholes where a couple of your 24 wheels go. Then you know the value of a 24 speed manual. (Or the cost of a new loading bay).
People don't chuck out all their TVs and buy a whole new lot. When they bought nice, cheap full HD LCD screens, the old CRTs still worked, so they kept them - probably in the kids' bedroom.
As soon as they could, while still respecting their parents, the kids chucked the old fashioned junk in the skip, and watched what they want on their big screen phones.
Some people, like us were conned into/bought "HD Ready" (720p) junk - which went the way of the CRTs, producing a third TV in the mix.
I don't know any families that had kids and did not follow this pattern, even if the kids are in primary school. The ones without kids gave their CRTs to relatives, who promptly put them in the skip and went back to their Ipads.
In the long run, the 720p kit will be binned too, and most families will have between 1 and 2 HD screens, probably a big one and a smaller one.
Having a TV does not mean using it with the tuner much of the time. We have a "smart" TV (Dumb as shit in reality) and often use it to share what is on our phone or tablet's screen with the assembled friends and relatives - even if it is a TED talk.
(Mapouka on Youtube is worth a search or too) NSFW.
I can - it was two weeks ago. I booted Windows for the first time in about 18 months to open a.doc a family member had been sent by a government department that would not format correctly in LibreOffice.
Turns out it would not format correctly in Word either! It needed Word95 or something!

If GM has 30,000 robot hookers, the world is changing faster than I though!
Personally, I think V Noses described them better!

Exposure to Government sources is probably very damaging to your brain. And twice as much in California.
In another 18 months, the whole planet will own a computer, and we have not got a practical way of exporting to the Klingons yet.

His code is 0000.
This would appear to be the issue at stake (or maybe steak YMMV).
Well, at least the president backs him on this!
That is because people find choice confusing - haven't you noticed the only model of car is Ford?

But you can't make a tape backup of coins.
Now we have multi-threading, Algol68 might actually be the best choice. However, history supports C-more Cray.
Their competitors videos.
Do you want fries with that?
You must be confusing it with NetBSD.
