Why do people always make out like Woz was a nice guy and Jobs was a dick?
"Prankster" is another word for being a dick. They were both dicks. Woz was a less photogenic dick than Jobs, but neither of them were people you'd want to be friends with.
The whole point of science in the first place is that I don't need to trust anyone, I can personally confirm things for myself.
That's the whole point of the scientific method.
An assertion that isn't accompanied with a set of steps that I can use to confirm it for myself it just another myth.
Science is what allows one man alone to present an assertion that a rational actor could embrace even though there is a consensus that he is wrong.
Science is what allows one man alone to assert that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around, and have people embrace this assertion and make choices that improve their chance to survive and thrive, despite there being consensus that he is wrong.
Anyone who thinks "scientific consensus" means anything is a grade a moron.
If I can't confirm it for myself, it isn't science. That limitation can be annoying to people who think they know everything, but nevertheless, that's what science is.
Intuitive? Are you kidding? Working on OSX is like being in your garage under your car, working, only, you have an obsessive compulsive wife, and every time you set a tool on the concrete in arms reach, she immediately puts it on the shelf because everything must look pretty, at all times.
I have never hated working with an operating system the way I hate OSX. It has literally brought me within inches of quitting my job in frustration on numerous occassions. It is beyond "bad", it is downright hostile.
It's not arbitrary. Producing the next generation of mankind is essential to the ongoing operation of society. If you don't do it, society collapses when people reach retirement age.
It's not punishment for philandering, it's punishment for refusing to uphold your human duty to reproduce yourself.
I paid over 20,000 in personal income tax last year as a single man. I don't mind that a large amount of that is subsidizing families, because I will need the children those families produce when it's time for me to retire, unless I wish to freeze in the snow.
When you cheat on your spouse, and you fuck up the family that I paid for, you didn't rip off the tax man. You ripped ME off, and I don't care what the tax man says, I don't fucking like it, and I don't want to accept it, and I want ALL that money back. With interest. Not so that I can spend it on a second vacation, but so that it can be given to a more deserving family.
It's really depressing that this thread is filled with self absorbed psychopaths who are only concerned with structuring the world to protect them from responsibility for any possible future consequences to their actions.
I haven't seen a single comment expressing compassion for the people whose spouse cheated on them. They were betrayed by the person they trusted the most. They were exposed to disease. The wealth they accumulated to pass on to their descendents was placed at risk. Their children are going to be seriously psychologically damaged.
Not only that, we the public were betrayed. These people accepted the benefits that go along with marriage. They took the tax benefits from our pockets, but instead of delivering a healthy family full of well adjusted future citizens, they snuck around spreading disease and discord in our communities.
I find it so ironic that the same people who will get themselves worked into a frenzy over vaccinations have no problem with cheating spouses spreading disease through the community. You'll force a child to accept an injection, but you won't hold a married man accountable for fucking anything he can get his hands on...
Could you give a general overview of what the wear factors are for your system, how long you would expect a satellite to last, and what the post failure plan would be?
Art detracts from games. It's noise. Chess needs no art. Go needs no art. A 3d shooter needs no art. A strategy game needs no art. Art sucks. Photorealism in games sucks. If it's not a critical element in deciding what your next move in the game should be, it doesn't belong in the game.
But that flattens the game market down to the point where you don't need a big game studio any more, so, we must use marketing to attempt to create a desire for this crap in the unthinking population.
I use my computer to do work, not surf the net and look at pictures of cats.
Working with OSX is like working on your car in your garage, and you've got all the tools you need spread out within arms reach so you can quickly grab them as you need them.
Only, you have an obsessive compulsive spouse who absolutely NEEDS everything to look clean and pretty in case some third party is watching, and every time you set down a tool and pick up another one, she picks it up off the floor and puts it away.
It's not a technical problem. It's a problem of faulty design. They let a bunch of graphic designers turn my goddamned hammer into a flower, and it's very pretty, but I can't drive a nail with it, and, somehow, they convinced EVERY manufacturer of hammers to follow in their footsteps, so I'm forced to look for a brick, because ALL the tools I relied on to do my job are BROKEN.
I just want my ugly, greasy toolbox back, but no one makes them any more.

Female programmers are all lesbians anyway, so, no problem.
Muses are people whose role is to inspire. But thanks for playing...

If I was going to port just one piece of software to Linux, it would be the Windows 7 Desktop Environment.

I particularly like the way they rotate the part so that gravity is always pulling in the most convenient direction.
Makes the one I built look downright primitive.
No, you're moronic.

The worlds largest advertising company is going to protect me from the psychological assault that is advertising.
Except their own ads, of course.
Fuck you, Doubleclick. You're like a slaver, who doesn't allow anyone but himself to beat his animals.

The world reacted to Windows 8 in a unified voice, and they said "We fucking HATE full screen application launchers!"
And KDE built one.
What's next, a "Virtual Trip to the Dentist" application?

Go spray paint a bridge.
That's a lot of war criminals in one place!
Question is, how much money is it worth to control the population?
The answer is, all of it.
No reputation is worse than a bad reputation. What you did isn't as bad as what my imagination uses to fill empty spaces.
We've only been doing word processors for decades now.
Why do word processors need new features at this point? Why is this not a "done" thing?
So many software projects are destroyed by the inability of developers to say "Well, that tool is finished."
When are we going to see LibreOfficeOS, I wonder. It kept the browser developers amused, maybe you guys should do that?
So, he eats all his food out at restaurants instead of cooking and buys new clothes instead of doing laundry, and this is supposed to be impressive?
Betteridge's law of headlines says "No", and that's good enough for me.
Hey, I hardly ever press the power button, lets get rid of that one.
Idiots
If you want to make good money working from home, development is what you do.
There are better ways to make money in the city. Working remotely is not a perk, it is THE perk.
If she's a social justice warrior, that is plenty reason not to hire her. May as well set fire to your own offices, it'd be less painful.
Honestly, OSX is the worst offender of the lot.
