Exchange. There's a buttload of professional infrastructure out there that relies on exchange as its underlying communication and automation infrastructure, so those shops/offices are locked in. 90% of the legal offices out there use exchange, I'm fairly certain.
So, this is a win in the same sense that the Spruce Goose flew.
Naw, Hughes flew the Goose once then shelved both it and himself for the rest of his life. Linus, although living in a small house in Portland (or wherever) and only coming out to rant at his developers like a maniac, actually gets out and about to shout at the world, and Linux is flying in shops all over the world, so, no, its not at all like the Spruce Goose.
Debian are attempting a port that replaces Linux with BSD...
Uh, why? Where can I read more about this? Sure, there are some things about the BSD kernel I admire (I think its a hell of a lot more straitforward to configure) but I'm curious to know their reasoning.
All too true, people don't want to bother with any effort for a return they really can't see. Its hard to appreciate encryption when the effects of opentext on their private lives is difficult to impossible to gauge. Until they get hit. After a small dns server I ran got hit, I didn't really pay much attention to it either. 10 years on I still cover my tracks whenever possible, encrypt my drives (linux and truecrypt make this pretty easy), prefer encrypted smtp providers, and ask people I correspond with for their public encryption key. If they ask me what that is I explain it to them. If they say they don't care then I move on, but if they express interest I help them set up. If they say "no one uses that" I show them that I do, many of my friends do, and to look at the news lately. Its in everyone's interest to manage their privacy. If you are into managing your life like a business then its just another procedure to add to your list. If not, well, I wouldn't want to be you.
That was my attitude until the last few years. After '08 financial crisis, read about the top 1%, the ecnomy improving yet hiring was stagnant, the board members of investment firms getting off scott free & blaming lower level execs for breaking the law, increadible mis-management and wheel sleeping morons at the SEC, the American prison population quadrupling over the last 10 years, the whole-sale gutting of the right of habeas corpus, and the complete lack of caring or understanding of the removal of the many fundamental constitutional rights here, I am of a mind that its beyond "not fair", but the game is rigged and not rigged for me or you. And you'd be a fool to think otherwise.
OSX isn't competing with Surface, per se, and OSX may be a POSIX compliant system, but why does Apple do things like make Safari non-compliant with regard to standards like the W3? One web site I worked on had the worst rendering with Safari. I mean, almost useless W3 non-comliance. We had to develop a plug-in to deal with some of our stuff. Firefox, IE? No issues. We could use the stock browser components.
It's certainly better than minimum wage or a true "factory" job (in terms of safety).
The "factory" jobs you referr classically have paid $20-30/hr (and that was over the last decade). 12/hr may be a livable wage in TN but here in California they're paying fast food workers that much and they still need to live in communal tenements/multiple earner arraingements. Only migrants do these jobs. Seems like the war on the middle class is mostly successful out here.
Bad as in "evil", such as aid a state sponsored program of moral evil such as the Genocide? Or bad as in harmful to the state? When a state is simply a mindless, self-perpetuating machine of consumption and power-brokering that ours has become I disagree that Manning has done something "bad". To equate what Manning has done as "evil" or morally wrong is not something I'm going to agree with.
You're completely deluded. News of China's spying is all over the new media, a google search will produce hundreds of examples, and I have knowledge of it first hand. Yes, my company was spied on. You obviously have an internet connection and you've obviously decided a certain way without being willing to look at the evidence that is easily within your grasp. Piss off.
women in general are far more likely to espouse a view of "just follow the rules, dont make waves"
No. I can say from authority that my grandmother, her friends, and people of generation and area (she lived in one house in Fresno, California, for over 50 years) genuinely had a mindset that the local government, the local militia (the metro police), and the sherrif's dept., were all benevolent authority figures who were not to be questioned, almost as though they were some kind of extra-human entity. The local politicians, on the other hand... she often had problems with them. But the gun-toters, they were sacrosanct.
I'm not kidding myself, and I'm not addressing the union strife of the 30's. I'm talking about my grandmother, not a union member, a fairly typical middle american middle class woman of that era. The unions, racketeers, moonshiners, and the mob have nothing to do with my point.
Laws against Jews owning businesses were passed, Jews (homosexuals, gypsies, etc) were made to wear identifying emblems on their clothes, and all the Nazi leadership made speaches against "Jewery" and the Jewsish conspiracy constantly, good god posters were put up everywhere trrying to get people to pay attention to the Jewish menace. That's why the Allied War Crime Courts (there were many courts beyond the Nuremberg trials for lower level human rights violators) had little sympathy for German civillians who pled no knowledge.
I don't think so. I think back to my Grandmother, in every way a decent, and somewhat naive, middle American woman. If she were alive today and we were walking around and noticed something legally amiss outside in the world, or just needed "something" that authority could provide, she'd have said "Go ask a policeman" without hesitation, whereas running to a cop is not something I'd do nessessarily, depending on the circumstances. Her attitude is clearly a product of being brought up in a time (especially around WWII) when authority wasn't nessessarily and in all cases a malevelent thing.
I came to fully realize this is now a police state when they started using the word "Homeland"... last time terms like that were used to describe one's own country was the Nazi "Fatherland"...
Yes, yes, we've all heard about the American programs. I know the Chinese are doing quite the same thing, but they names of their programs escape me, as they no doubt "esacpe" you. Just becuase the Chinese are more secretive about their spying doesn't mean they don't do it. As I said, I have first hand knowledge of Chinese IT spying. That they have more to fear from us is rediculous. At best the threats are equal.

Speak for your self.
Even with stats showing that most people use Android?
Exchange. There's a buttload of professional infrastructure out there that relies on exchange as its underlying communication and automation infrastructure, so those shops/offices are locked in. 90% of the legal offices out there use exchange, I'm fairly certain.
Android is collecting all your data, that's why it's free. Linux is truly free, unlike Android.
Unless you root your phone, which is easily done, so no, not in my case.

"has", he's still an active leader in several critical linux code trees and new kernel revs don't go out the door with out his personal approval.

Is it fair? No. Life isn't fair.

You may be doing fine, but as a young adult you're not "middle class". As a middle aged male 7.25/hr won't cut it for me.
I wonder if a retina display on a tablet would do that trick...?
Judging from the highly (over?) produced tv ads that were out for these things I'm guessing pretty badly.

Yep. This time they're going to do it right and use the US as a model. Technology, technology, technology!

Absolutely. People who believe the UN is some kind of benevolent force are completely deluded.
Assumption 1: Hammurabi was personally responsible for all laws under his reign...
You're not very familure with Hammurabi, are you? He actually was. Look up the Hammurabic Code
POINT: me.
