Oh, sorry, I thought you were referring to my post about Linux (and unix in general) already taking over the world. In the case of developing standalone apps for Chromebooks, I suppose you are required to buy a Chromebook and put it in developer mode. I've never tried it.
So in the iOS ecosystem, Macs are your only realistic option. Only ~10% of current desktops are that flavor. Android development tools are available on Linux. Chrome is also available on Linux for developing Chromebook applications. I don't know what you need to develop for a smart TV or a car, but my company makes robotic assembly equipment and we do our development in a Linux VM running on Windows - so Linux can certainly be used to develop commercial, industrial-grade products.
If they are like my kids, they have Chromebooks. You can call them PCs if you like, but they are very locked-down (and thus the appeal to resource-starved school IT departments). They have school accounts that they can log into from home. When my daughter broke her Chromebook, she simply logged in to my son's and did her assignment.
Yeah, in a way Linux (and if you want to lump Apple in there, UNIX in general) has already won. Almost every tablet, every smartphone, every smart TV, and every car system runs unix. Windows owns the desktop/laptop space - but so what? Even there, Chromebooks account for 50% of education sales - how long before certain businesses realize that most of their workers don't need more than a Chromebook, and all the kids coming in already know how to use them?
If, on the other hand, you mean that people will suddenly start using Ubuntu/KDE/Gnome or what have you, then yeah I think you are probably delusional:)
Right, what the site should say is "Please click on the link in the confirmation email to continue your registration." The email can contain the actual detail as to whether you are trying to duplicate a registration or not.
you have not had much contact with the broader population.
Everyone should be required to work in retail, similar to how the Israelis compel military service. Nothing got me through enginerding school like the motivation of my retail experience. ~
The other thing is I may not want people knowing whether or not I have signed up for a service... Does MightyYar have an account at BigFatBootyMamas? Yes, yes he does. I don't care if you can sign in and see the beautiful ladies on my dime, but I don't want it to be easy for people to check my email address against random websites looking for where I have accounts.
What I mean is that planes generally are weight-limited. There is still plenty of empty space, but no more weight allowed for takeoff. I don't think Amazon's change will have any effect on the air transport portion of delivery. Trains, trucks, and boats are not going to be weight limited when handling parcels, so it will have an effect in that realm.
Of course they do - why would they delete your purchase history? They are probably required to hold all of their records for xx amount of time anyway for tax and regulatory reasons. That's why I only buy my anal lube at the shady cash-only convenience store with the bulletproof glass.
I think that is true if they are saving weight, but if the new packaging is simply less bulky it probably won't affect the amount moved by air, which is generally weight-limited. Trucks on the other hand... they don't use an insignificant amount of fuel, either. Plastic is basically the same thing as the burned fuel, so you are correct in pointing out this trade-off.
Yeah, put up or shut up. You have no evidence no matter how good you think you are at 'splainin.
I actually Googled thinking you might have some idea what you are talking about, but no - the total loses in the north account for approximately 6 months of typical new building construction in the bay area. It will certainly run prices up locally, but the idea that 6000 bay area diaspora can have a measurable effect on the national market is just absurd.
Correct. I'm making up shit based on their past history. You should try it sometime, it's a very nice skill to have. George Bush even laid out the logic very eloquently once upon a time.

That change is not restricted to Linux, and applies to Mac and Windows as well.

Your point is valid, but your example is not. There are steel-aluminum alloys, but they tend to be brittle. A South Korean research team claims to have found a solution to this, but I haven't heard of any commercial uses.

Slashdot readers are pretty educated, if only because we know that's where Lithium batteries come from.
I wouldn't worry - if trying to get people too poor to afford their own car to come to your store were viable, they'd already do it with buses.
It's not "sketchy", it's embarrassing. If you are handing them your credit card, what purpose does using a fake email serve?
Maybe for a username, but the "I forgot my username" button where they send it to your email should return a generic message after submission.

"Action figure"? Really?

Or maybe he got burned trading Bitcoin?

what do people think Christmas is?
Well, since I'm not really Christian, it's a time to be with family, eat, and to give gifts. Shop away, "Christians"! Shop for the Lord.
Actually, a fair number of them would very much like to emigrate somewhere that has 1st world problems.
The "drum" if that makes you happy - the part that touches the paper and wears out or gets fouled.
Exactly the same thing as the Democratic party does.
