15 years ago I flied from Europe landed on an airport in US. The first thing after leaving the plane is getting through immigration controls. A guy in front of me was holding a camera with the cap off. It went like this:
- "Did you take any photos since you left the plane?"
- "Yes."
The immigration officer grabs the camera, opens it and pulls the whole film out - thus exposing it to light and destroying it.
Dropping legacy support is one of Apple's strengths so why shouldn't MS try the same approach?
Because Windows is all about legacy. They practically invented it and defined it. If there wasn't for legacy the IT world would not be in the shape it is - busy working around troubles that were not identified and avoided 15 years ago.
The driver of the car in front of you jams on his brakes. The road is wet and your car can't stop in time. There is a truck to the left so your brand new intelligent car decides to swerve to the right because there is only a small object there and won't cause as much damage. Too bad for the student walking home from school.
"sign of dissent" ? Rally? Do you think that a politician will listen to a sign? They do not listen to a loud clear sentence. They don't listen to a petition. They listen to money. They don't listen to violence, though they may react to it if it threatens them directly.
Do you remember how you run along the walls in Doom and you pushed/shot the walls hoping to discover a secret room? That is how I felt when I saw Win8 for first time. Except that in Doom the wall usually had a slightly different texture that made it easier to identify something you can interact with.
Even if you had such material, what could you do with it?
Spread the terror. In fact this example shows that nuclear facilities are populated with morons. That is terrifying... or not, if you are cynic like me. Did you meet a competent person this week? month? year? I didn't.
Excuse a question from a dumbass coding drone in the backwoods: how do I access an SQL database/windows registry/filesystem/sockets/... from a browser?
Strange. Recently I connected a TV over HDMI to my Slackware machine. The TV has a lower resolution. On 1st boot the system has recognized automatically the new output device and set it up as mirror of the monitor and selected the same, low, resolution on both. When I went into Settings in KDE 4.8.5, I could nicely set up any configuration I wanted - the same or different resolution to both, the relative position, mirror or extending the desktop area... Once set up and stored with "Save as default" it remembers the configuration. When booting up the KDM probably goes with auto-detected default - i.e. low resolution and mirror. That could probably require fixing in xorg.conf. I did not bother. But once I log in, the displays are configured correctly.
One look into any boardroom in this nation is all one needs to know that most of the people who take home the lion's share are complete, abject pieces of shit. Hell, nevermind looking at them, just look at how much they pay themselves to do virtually nothing, compared to how much they pay the people who actually make their money for them.
You did not fully get it. They take the lion's share because they are complete, abject pieces of shit. People with the backbone lack the scrupulousness to screw others, which is exactly why they walk home with good feeling in the heart a bit of bitterness and some little money.

So who should I compare to? Who is "the very best that came out in the 20th"? All I see is a top star today a forgotten fad in a month.
Yes, MS Office and LibreOffice render stuff differently. But how do you know which one is wrong?
So you are fine with having no steak as long as I have two to balance out the average?
Apparently he did not get rich by writing a lot of checks.

What was the reasonable manner there?
Isn't it then logical to invert the meaning of the flag when it comes from IE?

Before I dive into TFA, can someone tell me if any editors were found?
What about starting an online community for that ... ?
He was eaten by a grue?
Would you say that to Linus?
See? That was much better. Unless the winner is Dr. No.
Except the driver.

They've been replaced by a script. Broken script to be exact.
TL;DR it works for me. Perfectly.
Did I miss a memo where Congress declared a war or two?
Can't you just put up some ads to support the lobbying?

Ah! You mean that opening the wrapper would transmutate the chocolate bars into metallic circuits implementing a GPS transmitter? Brilliant.
It seems that the hottest part is actually not the CPU but the ethernet/USB controller.
