Technically, yes they're optional. In reality, the game is almost unplayable without them, esp once you're dealing with multiplayer where some players paid for the extra content and others did not. Voting with wallet isn't going to fix this unfortunately. For a growing number of us, it's time for a new hobby.
This ignores the fact that perception doesn't define reality. Stripping delusion away might be 'mean', but sometimes it's necessary. History is rife with examples of delusion driving whole societies over the edge.
Just because you're jailbroken doesn't mean you're hacked. It's to be able to run applications apple won't sanction because they compete with their business model. If you get hacked after jailbreaking, you're the fool.
Of course. 'professionalism' today means a grandiose sense of accomplishment and self importance. It used to have something to do with relative performance compared with peers. I can see why populations that respect objectivity and correctness would have trouble respecting the term or the people who trot it out as 'proof' of their 'superiority.'
1. the hardware isn't 'designed' to run windows 8. it's locked TO windows 8. the hardware isn't designed to run windows 8 any more than it was designed to use linux.
2. not buying hardware/voting with wallet is not a real choice unless you consider giving up what you want as valid.
some would argue that the linux desktop you speak of wouldn't really be linux at all because it cannot be modified...not with binary blobs all over. thus, switching to a bsd-like license would effectively kill the linux desktop.
for a given component, you MIGHT get a better sample for your $800.. then again, you might not, as it's cheaper to just send you the next one off the line and assume it wont' break. since they're charging you multiple times what they charge the consumer, they're willing to risk eating the shipping for a warranty claim. They just charge shipping for consumer warranty claims.
There are some enterprise grade components out there, but they have no consumer analogs.. I'm talking about the products sold as both.
and someone else doesn't understand that the majority of the time, the difference between consumer and enterprise is a label and expedited shipping of the same component for an exorbitant price. There was a time when there was significant difference between enterprise and consumer hardware, but those days are rapidly drawing to a close.
I'm kinda getting the vibe that you're a radical isolationist. You may wanna work on that.
I don't see any statements, explicit or implicit, in that post making him a 'radical.' However, your statement here makes me wonder if you are a radical communist. Radicals are usually the first to claim other positions as radical, despite the relative extremity of a position having little to do with correctness, making the accusation ad hominem. Talk about ironic hypocrisy.. Radical positions are fine as long as they are correct in the given context and not misconstrued for the sake of emotional/political gain. Moderate positions are also fine as long as the relative moderation isn't used as justification for correctness. That's using consensus as proof which is fallacious.
The trend of studying only Americans was a result of cultural blindness. Paraphrasing the article: multiculturalism purports that all cultures are unique and special and have interesting intrinsic attributes, but academics refuse to discuss them because they don't want to be accused of racism or stereotyping. To avoid the question, they assumed that everyone was alike, and just chose to study people who were readily available (usually the undergrads at their campuses.)
Which is a direct result of political correctness run amok on typical campuses.
yet these supposedly 'sophisticated' people still use logical fallacy.
since americans prefer to shower daily as opposed to weekly, wiping actually works better for most.
for such 'sophistication' why doesnt every european shower daily?.. and what are they eating that requires them to blast sludge off their asses. eating properly would avoid this.
sure. we value individual liberty more, here, than is usual for more socialist countries. culture is important, sure, but many of us dont like it when it attempts too much micro management.
as opposed to the spineless, passive aggressive, censorious, welfare charity cases that make up an ever growing majority of americans these days? might as well include western europe too as there isnt much difference. see? i can stereotype too.
Please stop abusing the word 'professional.' Professional is not the kind of job you work, but rather how well you do it, low wage, or high wage, it doesn't matter. Low wage workers do not necessarily need more or less supervision or are of lower or higher caliber of character. Get over yourself.
Seems reasonable. I was talking about employers with 'extreme' social mandates.. Everyone's in one big room, no cubicles, no offices, and talking constantly.
sorry I don't want to be programming in a room full of yammering idiocy.. I'd be canned in the first week for lack of productivity. All this 'social' bullshit is driving society to distraction. There's a reason most people don't have every TV and music player in the house turned on at full blast at the same time.
yeah.. asking for help AFTER showing evidence of trying yourself is one thing. We aren't paid, so the pay off is in personal reward for helping someone who has shown interest and a desire to learn on his own. This article reads like a half assed forum post by someone who wants it fed through a needle and didn't bother reading "How to ask questions the smart way" by ESR. Lazy, lazy, lazy..especially in this era of easy to use search.

because many have bought an iphone or other closed device, then later found out about the coolness of running alternative software..

Get a fucking clue.
Yeah I know, so why are you so hung up on the delivery system?

eh he was always like this.. it's just that today's society has become so pantywaisted and spineless, it seems like he's worse than he is.

the only true 'free' license is public domain.

must be nice not having to think logically. I didn't say this.
