I have nothing against the progress from ipchains to iptables and use iptables raw every day.
That said, while I understand the kernel issues they're trying to eliminate with nftables, looking at the coding of rules does not make me feel like its an improvement in any way:
I've sold and maintain dozens (probably at least a hundred) Dell machines and it has everything to do with the machine type.
Optiplex? no arguments. PowerEdge? no arguments. Dimension? Days on the phone.
Also, my experience is that their chat tech support is incredibly efficient (I'm usually done within half an hour, start to finish) and their phone tech support is much slower on average.
I never go through that checklist because I use their online chat feature instead and dump my entire diagnostics list I've done to them and then wait for them to read it.
90% of the time, they simply start a hardware replacement and send it next day.
We also only pay for 3-5 year ProSupport on all servers.
Considering there isn't a safe option for mounting your hardware with Windows at all, you're not worse off with a Linux LiveCD in the worst case, and possibly much better off.
I already spend most of my video watching time in front of a 103" DLP projection screen at 10'... and I prefer IMAX high frame rate to low frame rate films because the jitter drives me nuts on lower frame rates.
You mean this quote? "Initially supporting Asus’s VG248QE monitor, end-users will be able to mod their monitor to install the board, or alternatively professional modders will be selling pre-modified monitors."
I've been expecting this ever since we brought out DVI-D and then HDMI and Display Port. I'm in fact a little shocked its taken this long. Its really a simple concept; when the frame buffer is ready to be drawn, tell the monitor to refresh with that data, then work on the next frame. In fact, that's exactly how people think video output works already in most cases, but its not.
Because then everyone who buys those lamps and realizes *after* that they need a special bulb complains really loud that they need more places to buy bulbs from and the market gets flooded with normal and special bulbs when the stupid iLamp should've just come with a normal socket for normal bulbs.
The end you plug into a computer or power supply is always USB-A however, that's part of the point. The end that plugs into a modern phone is nearly always micro-USB.
Why don't we all have multiple types of power outlets, and different types of gas fittings, and various different road paint colours, and maybe some differently laid out keyboards while you're at it?
Well, we do, on a global scale, but on a local scale we've realized what a complete disaster it is not to standardize things that everyone uses every day. Standards are good for everyone.

Servers aren't accessed, services are. A server with no services is inaccessible.
I prefer my terminology.
Read a really good report recently on the accident in Russia where the copper lid fell early on their plutonium and caused a sudden critical event.
Very sad for the scientist involved.
Which support level did you pay for?
Dell offers an option to pay a bit extra and not get harassed with silly questions, or a cheap option that requires user diagnostics.
Only pay for the ProSupport without diagnostics required. You'll add years to your life in lost stress.

I don't see anywhere on OCZ's site that says "Windows-only SSDs for sale" ... do you?
If you call it a boat engine, sure. If you just call it an engine, it should work as an engine in any application.

Actually, iptables is sub-optimal, that's the problem: http://lwn.net/Articles/531752/
That's not true -- port based firewalling prevents inbound packets to services you want to run but don't want to be accessed from the outside.
I learned iptables from the data available online pretty quickly. There are lots of good guides and a decent man page too.
Granted, I already understood ipchains very well at the time it was released but I don't see the need for much more extensive documentation.

I've never met anyone who thought 120fps motion looked fake. I've heard them say it looks un-movie-like but not fake.
Run a 120fps video of a landscape on a picture frame and it looks a lot like a window, it does not look like a movie, but it does look real.

Because without mentioning CRTs its hard to explain why things are the way they are right now.
Also, CRTs do still exist and have their place.

Exactly one for the end that goes into a power source.
Sure, make it an open standard and let us all take advantage of it. Otherwise, its just a proprietary plug.

Please give a real life example of a device that's incompatible with USB but has a USB plug, because this really shouldn't be the case.
USB really is a standard, and really does work universally.

Lets send Congress while we're at it.
Psst you made your own bullshit absolute statement.
The cop's opinion of your guilt is not relevant in court, so I have no need to change their mind.
