And how many business applications did you also move with you in your conversion?
Just because all you do is dick around and 'admin' your desktop so making the transition was nothing to you doesn't mean everyone else does jack shit on their desktops either.
I could spend $50k in licensing fees on an employee and it wouldn't be jack shit in comparison to all the other costs associated with an employee. If you think licensing costs for Windows and Office are 'huge', you've never ran a business.
You are not an admin. You are a regurgitator. I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want you to realize where you actually fit in the food chain.
An admin has no trouble shifting to new environments on the fly. He/she doesn't think twice about doing so, its just part of the job. No OS is so different that it matters, even the jump from UNIX to Windows is trivial if you are qualified to call yourself an admin.
Just because you have root on some boxes doesn't make you an admin.
Yes, there is a cost to the switch, but if that cost is significant for a given 'admin' then it shows that you are unable to quickly adapt to a new environment and find the resources you need to complete the job. Windows admin really isn't THAT different now days, the answer to any problem is almost certainly a Google away in any case you're likely to hit. I can safely say that because someone at your level isn't going to be doing anything that hasn't been done a million times before.
In my career, I've dealt with more than one person like you. Not that there is anything wrong with you, but you think you are more capable than you are in one respect while realizing you aren't in others. My typical treatment towards someone like this is to nudge them towards finding a 'higher paying' job else where and get them out of my umbrella. They'll generally fail, but then they also generally get the point and learn the difference, and their next job works out a whole lot better for them. This may not be 'nice', but being nice typically doesnt' get the point across or you would have realized it already.
The reality of it is, if you ACTUALLY had to face those conditions, the anxiety would pass fairly quickly and you'd get over that particular bit of the problem in very short order.
Not saying life in that situation long term would be fun, but the things you fear are trivial and go away quickly.
We don't even really need to know how to wire him up so he can immediately do something. There is a REALLY good chance the brain will remap itself on its own given enough time and access to stimulus
... You do realize apt is a download manager, RIGHT? Not arguing your actual point, but your wording just shows your trying too hard.
People who use real OSes A) don't use the command line to install software 99% of the time, and B) are smart enough to know that Chrome is just the download manager for 'webapps' that run inside it.
Note: I'm not saying Linux isn't a real OS, just that your usage of it precludes your install from being one.
On a Mac, Pixelmator would quickly replace Photoshop. You'd be going back several years... back to when Photoshop sucked a fuckton less than it does now in reference to... price, features and most importantly UI, but the injection of cash the Pixelmator team got would allow them to build in all the crud/crap you don't want from Photoshop fairly quickly anyway. Medicine would take a minor hit as Medical Photoshop is a weird beast that basically makes any sane person wonder how medical studies are given any credibility at all.
No, it doesn't accumulate in your organs, so one would argue that you don't understand radiation yourself.
Specific forms accumulate in a couple organs due to the chemicals they contain and the propensity of THAT element to be a radioactive isotope. Iodine being one, Potassium being other. But otherwise it does not accumulate from eating fish as they don't, generally contain a form that your body likes to store.
Just want business customers wanted, lower sound quality and congestion issues they can't control!
No one on the planet WANTS VoIP over the Internet, it absolutely sucks. They only use it because some sales person or TV commercial convinced otherwise. When I can't tell within 5 seconds that you're on a VoIP connection, I'll change my mind, but thats not going to happen anytime soon.
Stop trying to produce more low quality crap to retain customers, thats EXACTLY what put you in the position you are in RIM.
You sir have no fucking idea. I would love to see what other industries require $100k+ investment in training to pay a $30k yearly wage - including benefits.
Medicine? Both people and animals. Unless you come out with unrealistically high scores you end up working in generic places like 'Urgent Care' and such. The pay is above 30k, but not by a landslide, and thats where the majority of those people end up for a LONG time.
1500 hours is 3/4 of a work year. Its is in no way 'a lot' of flight time. Get back to me when you hit 10k hours. The captain of 1549 that went down in the hudson is approaching 30k if I recall correctly.
I've met more than a few Brits, I most certainly contest that statement. Not the paying for incoming calls part, but the not mental part. I think thanks a matter of perspective mate!
First and foremost, all consumer 32-bit windows versions are licensed to top out at 4GB. If you want more than 4GB, you will have to buy a (reassuringly expensive) server edition that permits it. Done. End of story.
Wrong.
PAE exists for a reason, as does XP's support of it... and the libraries providing AWE support in XP.
I've worked with MS engineers on large scale applications using AWE on XP, it is perfectly legitimate. And Vista... and Windows 7... And server 20XX.

If you don't know, it doesn't matter. Why is it 'sick'?
If you do know, there is hope.
They've also had salmon respond to fMRI scans hours after death. Not really impressive or useful if interpreted wrong.

Wire him up to the inputs too.

Simple put, with out a cluster of computers or GPUs, you don't have the processing power for doing n-body simulations.

Owners of Adobe software are probably not at risk nearly as much as all the people who now rent Adobe software for a monthly fee.

You do realize that you're not supposed to tell them that, right?
The yield is something around one percent of the fissionable material in the bomb before the material is blown all over.

Show me the ARM core thats public domain please. There isn't one, ARM kinda makes it that way on purpose.
Awesome, if you get everyone BB user online at once you'll have ... a three way call.

To put it bluntly, as a private pilot myself, you're over paying for training time. Massively over paying.
You sir have no fucking idea. I would love to see what other industries require $100k+ investment in training to pay a $30k yearly wage - including benefits.

Just because you are unaware of the minor issues that happen daily doesn't mean they don't happen and aren't narrowly avoiding larger issues.
As a licensed private pilot who flies into large airports on occasion, its mind blowing that it doesn't all collapse.
Hell, just listen to the hell some ATC people go through with morons ferrying hundreds of passengers around crowded air space.
Captain Sully is a diamond in the rough, 1 in a thousand. 900 of the other guys can barely get off the ground ... which is the easy part.
And knowing someone's nick is 'proof' of something? I know BitStream ... hell, I am BitStream, my store MUST therefor be true!

The same way Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon operate in the presence of the FCC. Licensed.

Bullshit. The kernel and all kernel interfaces reside at >3GB by design.

You utterly fail to understand how PAE works.
4GB of addressable memory and PAE are rather unrelated.
