It is not a straw man, and you basically agree with the parent post. Companies work to maximize profit, which means setting prices as high as possible as long as it doesn't hurt sales too much (maximize sales*price). This can lead to prices especially in the electronic business that has absolutely nothing to do with cost (most electronics are dirt cheap to make), but when what customers find reasonable is set by what the production cost is, the cost will generally have to follow production cost, or at least.. customer perceived production cost, which can be very different.
I read that as, the device will constantly be broadcasting everything going on in your living room to Microsofts new 300000 servers. Eventhough it may be powerfull enough to do the voice processing itself, I doubt they will pass a chance at an excuse for live-snooping every living room. Everybody seems to be getting away with it on the phones anyway.

Microsoft Unveils Xbox One

Could be compatible with games for the xbox 1... I mean original xbox... Ugh. This is going to be a problem isn't it?
That depends on the virus. Some virus like the common flu can take many different shapes and therefore be uncognized by your vaccine trained immune system, but most virus does not change that much, and will continue to be recognizable by the immune system even after several mutations.
Where the FCC screwed up was that the way LTE frequency was allocated let to greater fragmentation, when it should have been an opportunity to improve compatibly and thus competition.
You say that as if it wasn't the intention of FCC. I think that is what the parent poster was talking about, the FCC isn't doing its job in minimizing fragmentation.

Wouldn't that make it on par with XFS and ZFS? Modern filesystems have their advanced features by breaking the traditional layers, which makes them much harder to organize, and makes it seems like they have dirty tentacles branching out into everything else.
Of course they did. Cisco sells overpriced crap, when they bought Linksys the cheap Linksys products were often better than 10x more expensive Cisco products. The prediction everybody made after the purchase was that Cisco had to intentionally make Linksys more crap, and they did.
Not in any useful way. Since you can't switch a screen from Intel GPU to NVidia, you can only use the optimus driver on screens that boot on nvidia, which is no screens. In other words the new optimus driver supports rendering onto imaginary screens but not real screens.
Well, I expect to be able to SSH into machines, to be able to tunnel through SSH, to have GPG encryption/decryption. That's kind of the minimum, and since few (no?) systems have built-in support for this apps are quite critical to me.
The Nokia N9 had built-in terminal and SSH, though I think you had to activate developer mode before the icons showed up on the home page.
Wrong! Anytime you need something to not get done, the US Senate is there for you. Its like their superpower.
Actually, they are not very good at that either. They just repealed the law that made it illegal for them to do insider trading. So now the senate are once again the only people in the US legally allowed to do insider trading.
The law repealing it got accepted in record time with no objections.
So, no. Not even when what they SHOULD do is nothing, can thet manage to do the right thing.
So it will be a 1 hour movie stretched to three hours every year?
The post you replied to did say LOTR, not the Hobbit. But yeah, the formula could just as well end up as the Hobbit instead of LOTR, though if they throw everything out they shouldn't at least be burdened with a thin source material better suited to a 30 minute animated feature.
They are not granted the rights of prisoners of war. The entire justification of their treatment is that the US does not consider them prisoners of war, and therefore they are not protected by the laws and treaties dealing with prisoners of war. If they had been they would be treated much much better and probably released by now.
Not that I disagree with you. They are prisoners of war, but somehow I doubt you would be able to accept what that means.
Plasma is not a problem. The trick about KDE on low end hardware is to know if you should run KWin effects using XRender, OpenGL or disabled. I would usually bet on disabled, but XRender can be surprisingly well optimized on old GPUs.
And last I checked a few months ago (don't ask), IE still allows the 'marquee' tag, which might be even "better" than 'blink'. (In case anyone does not remember it, 'marquee' is the one that scrolls all child DOM elements across the screen horizontally like a carnival ride.)
And even if you use MathML, will the browser support it?
Will you? The problem with MathML is that it was apparantly designed by a commitee of blathering idiots who thought more XML was the solution to everything. The result is something that is closer to parody of an XML format than anything remotely human editable.
Yeah that was pretty cool. You could even adjust the level of fuzziness. I loved setting it high and have it tell me "late afternoon" or at the highest level "the middle of the week".
The "British billion = 10^12" went out of use in the 1970's. The Brits use the same billion=10^9 as everyone else.
No a billion is still 10^12. That has never changed. But because Americans usually get it wrong, the British now uses the American billion when speaking about money, but the real billion when speaking about everything else. Of course billions are rarely used for anything other than money.
If you did that it would make you liberal not libetarian. Libetarian is not the name of any political philosophy. It is only the name of the philosophy of the so called liberatarian party. The phisosophy the libetarian party claim to follow is called liberal and the philosophy they actually do follow is called facist.

Very like they are talking about the CPU using 33% percent less power, thus increasing how long it can run on given about of Wh by 50%.

Hi, you look stupid, would you mind if I zap your brain?
Uhm...
It will make you smarter! promise.
Uh. Okay.
Ouch
Muhahaha.
I don't feel any smarter...
Would you let me zap you again?
No!!
See! You are smarter already

Once things get posthumorous, they are not funny anymore.

And what userland does Android java run in, and what has it been developed in? I doubt it is written in assembler with raw system calls.

You are not a GPL supporter you are an astroturfing troll. Go away.
Nobody is forcing you to benefit from my work. If you want to use my work in your product without obeying the GPL, then hire me.

And
d) They just made Mir even more redundant.
The only thing Mir had going to it was that it was Wayland with Android drivers.
It is an optional part of CSS, and not supported by WebKit or Blink.
Marquee is also supported by WebKit and Blink.
