I escaped from poverty on my own, without someone else paying my way. I really can't stand when some prick like you acts like its impossible for someone to pull themselves out of the slums in America. This isn't fucking Kenya. In America, contrary to what all you Occupy Wallstreet douchebags with your North Face backpacks and tents think, you make your own way in this place.
You can too. It just takes actual work rather than begging for and spending some elses money. This bullshit you spew is just an excuse to expect someone else to support what you believe you are entitled to.
I don't want to pay taxes to carry someone who thinks they are entitled to anything in life. You are not, and I'm sure as hell not going to support your ass with my hard work. Even worse, I don't particularly want any more American's tainted into thinking that college isn't about money for lazy professors and administrators who also think they are entitled to this fantasy world that acts like a big hippie commune.
Wait... no, its not. Never in my life has college been anything other than a money grab. If you don't already know this, you're just living in the dark. The idea that its about education is perpetuated by the schools to stay in business, typical marketing.
Look at salaries versus time spent teaching and tell me how its about education.
Look at costs spent on administrative staff and compare those same salaries to other industries.
Nothing about college even indicates VIABLE businesses, they only continue to exist because people think its a good idea to indoctrinate their children into thinking college is about making a better life for yourself.
School is now about getting you to incur as much debt as possible in the time you are there.
I can't think of a single job on the planet where I can't come up with a place where coding wouldn't be useful.
You lack imagination and probably aren't going to be worth employing anyway, I'm guessing your comment is a denfensive response to your fear of becoming obsolete.
I'm confident that anyone born after today that can't code is going to be severely unemployable. He'll, even freaking construction works and garbage men could use coding skills to help them with vArious bits of their jobs. It's not all hammering nails and picking up garbage you know...
Modular Linux has failed in general. Focused android with a company seeking profit from non-geeks has made Linux popular and not any of the 'NIH must do it different because we're to stupid to realize other people don't give a shit about the code, just the end result as it appears to them'
While what he describes is a problem from a technical persons view point, the reality is that the windows kernel works at least as well as required.
The problem you, most of slashdot, and certainly the author of this rant fail to understand is that what you think is important is nothing like what the customer cares about. This is a typical developer problem. You think you know more about the customer needs than they so.
Hint: you don't.
This is why android, backed by a company trying sell a to focused product succeeded where generic Linux distros that technically superior from a kernel perspective fail to dominate in any meaningful way.
And by massively destructive... He means not really l that bad. In hindsight, it's well understood that the area around the plant has been safe for years. The wild life around the area shows only a minor statistical difference in health conditions. The same variance is observed well outside the Chernobyl exclusion zone as well, so it's really hard to prove any long term effects on life from tha worst nuclear event in the history of mankind outside of nuclear bomb detonations.
Your worried about a minor nuclear event that will never have a death attributed to it directly...
And completely ignoring the towns that simply ceased to exist due to the tsunami?
Hundreds or thousands dead... And your freaked the fuck out about a nucleAr uptake increase that's lower than the airplane flight you'd take to get there.
You have absolutely no clue what you should ACTUALLY be worried about.
For professionals, Photoshop is essentially a tax write off.
Great, so AFTER I file my taxes... that brings the cost down to about... $19.35/month instead of $20.00/month... I'm so glad its a tax write off! I'm betting you don't even understand what that means.
The switch to Pixelmator for Photoshop, and find alternatives for the others.
Yes, its going to upset your departments workflow, but you're going to run into the problem anyway. The only question is when. Make the change now and save yourself the long term trouble.
The sooner things like this happen, the sooner Adobe will be replaced.
So you are basically betting your company on luck and hope?
Anytime you are using Adobe's products, that is the case.
Over the course of the last couple of years, I migrated my company OFF of adobe creative suit and we just recently canceled our Creative Cloud subscriptions.
There are alternatives, and unless you're doing something specific, you don't actually need photoshop. No, I'm not talking about GIMP.
I did all this work JUST to avoid this coming about. When they bought Macromedia, they canceled Macromedia Generator... which my company was dependent on... so we started to migrate to Adobe Graphics Server... which they then silently stopped updating... occasionally mentioning on the forums that an update was coming... and finally, after a couple years, they admitted that Adobe Graphics Server was dead, and the only possible alternative was a $50,000 digital publishing 'workflow' that didn't even actually do what we needed.
You're stupid if you use ANY adobe products, regardless of how you pay or don't pay for them. Its like using Oracle.
and barely runs on Windows (and as such is unusable enough that I won't install it) and is the main reason why I don't own an iPhone or an iPad? Yeah, I've heard of it.
How much do you suck at computers. My 90 year old grandmother can use iTunes in Windows without any problems. You realize you just make yourself look stupid with these comments, right?
Ah, so you're just a pretentious asshole who thinks he's cool because he refuses to buy music that doesn't suck. Just another emo/goth fighting a cause that doesn't actually exist anywhere outside his own imagination.
If this isn't completely killed by the major publishers of art (music, movies, etc.) in the near term, then this could end up being a major distribution channel rivaling iTunes.
Sure... because all the other sites that have tried to cut out the middle man and directly connect artists to people have worked so well...
Just because someone makes an album, doesn't mean they have talent. It doesn't mean anyone is willing to pay. This is the problem the studios are not coming to grips with. People don't want to pay for 13 shitty songs to get 1 good one. Likewise, people aren't going to want to pay to have to wade through thousands of shitty 'artists' that have no business making noise and claiming its music only to find out that the guy that was worth a shit... already went to iTunes where people can actually find him because it requires a basic minimum level of talent to get there.
God, how many summers in the 2000's did we get a new 'free downloads from XXX.com' on soda bottle tops? This has been tried to death and no one seems to register that people have better things to do than wade through crap to find a sliver of gold. They'd rather pay someone else to find the gold, even if it costs more.
No the latest versions of OS X are having the same problems that Windows 8 is having. Trying to put more tablet like interface into a desktop OS.
Seriously? This tired bullshit again?
The 'iOS' look in OS X... is an application.... that isn't the default... Other than that, there is nothing about them that 'looks' the same, though they do share a lot of the same core technologies and ideals.
Claiming OSX looks or acts like iOS just makes it clear you don't know what you're talking about and are just parroting what you heard some other zealot you aspire to be like saying.

Yea, quoting different, unrelated, non-authoritive source is a great to get people to believe your fiction.
And safari as well.

Wouldn't you be pretty stupid to target the current mostly patched version and ignore the FAR larger pool of older installs.
This is only news if you don't have a clue
Which changes nothing other than the application your updating.
You realize that MS is the only company that gets the word 'patched'.
Firefox, chrome and opera all do the same as Oracle.
Not that MS hasn't introduced breaking changes and called them patches or anything.
If you think the browser is a stable platform you've clearly never done web development.
Less than 10% of infinity?

If Pakistan was concerned with its own people, they'd police their criminals, we wouldn't have to.
Do you want us to police the world or not? Pick one or the other and stop bitching about the US not doing both when it suits your whim.

You have absolutely no clue what you should ACTUALLY be worried about.
Sales numbers have no effect on stats reported based I user agent on popular sites like Wikipedia.
Those sites don't suddenly shack up the world by showing radically different than sales numbers in their traffic reports.
What other excuses would you like to try to pretend Linux is magically more popular than it is

Single-window mode has absolutely nothing at all to do with why the GIMP GUI sucks. Switching to single-window mode is actually worse, not better.

Yes, its going to upset your departments workflow, but you're going to run into the problem anyway. The only question is when. Make the change now and save yourself the long term trouble.
The sooner things like this happen, the sooner Adobe will be replaced.
Thats single window is a Windows thing, it fits in with the Windows Human Interface Guidelines for MDI (multiple document interface)
It doesn't work that way on other OSes, they aren't grouped into one single large window on OS X or IRIX for instance.
So you are basically betting your company on luck and hope?
