Its fairly easy to have them mail you a simcard and take you off the data plan. Tell them you lost your phone and have some simple phone that doesn't use data, check their website for models they have. Call them up, have them mail it to you, put it in yourself, no smart phone pricing and you can still use whatever android or iOS device you want.
but use a device that models a tube amp that is then plugged directly into a P.A
That just makes you a wanna-be. You're trying to pretend you understand why a tube amp is used... and then not using it and trying to synthesis it. You've been conned into buying something you don't understand for reasons you don't understand. Just use a normal solid state amp, I seriously doubt you can tell the difference.
Using a tube amp doesn't make you a luddite, and the word isn't capitalized, its not a name. You might want to actually lookup the definition of the word, it doesn't just mean you 'prefer older technolgoies'
Unless the speed is infinite than you can not possibly have unlimited data. You in fact have a very specific amount they just don't tell you, based on what they limit it too.
He's even more annoying than those clowns because he has the tendency to be proven right eventually.
Let me know when that happens for the first time, I'm still waiting for him to actually be right without his narrow skewed view of the world and redefinition of words to suit his agenda.
Linus doesn't start off telling people their idiots. He starts off very nice and cordial in every instance I've ever seen of him blowing up.
He blows up when you repeatedly do something he has ASKED you not to do and then try to act like you are doing nothing wrong.
I think you need to stop reading headlines about Linus and read the actual conversations the headlines are written about and the back story leading up to them.
Stallman doesn't lack tact in this case, he's just an asshole so bent on himself that he refuses to acknowledge that his world view is pretty fucked up.
Blanket statements like his are just ignorant bullshit and FUD to push his own personal agenda. Anyone with half a clue recognizes his crap for what it is. Stop worshiping the ground he walks on because he used to write code that people cared about, his agenda and politicizing of everything is pushing more and more people away from his my way or the highway view of the world.
Yea, politicians do that, which is all he is. A politician pushing his own selfish agenda, while you can argue that he isn't being selfish based on the agenda he is pushing you would be ignorant of history to do so.
He changed questions so he could answer them as he wanted to answer, not as he was asked.
That doesn't impress me and if you were smart it wouldn't impress you either.
Data loss prevention is like loss prevention in retail. Its not lost, its stolen. What you're referring to with credit cards and logins... thats what they are talking about stopping.
Switching from old school Office to the horror that is the Ribbon, is as much of a step as going to LibreOffice is
No, not even close, your projecting what you have issues with and what you want to happen onto others.
I've seen plenty of people (mom & grandpa types) switch with no training and no issues.
Thats only because you are choosing to redefine 'training' and 'issues'. There are most certainly issues and a person who transitions from one to the other (regardless of direction) is going to have issues.
Pretending there are no issues just shows you're inability to have a valid discussion.
Less than a weeks pay regardless of how little that employee is paid, in most cases, less than a days pay, if you're buying it in the box from best buy or some other retail store. An upgrade of any size from microsoft direct is ridiculously cheaper.
Seriously, bitching about license cost shows that you really have no fucking clue what it takes to run a business or even the IT department.
Redhat isn't large by any measure, and IBM only uses Linux as a gimmick to lock you into their proprietary items, they might get themselves in the door with Linux, but the rest of the time they're selling you things that are FAR more expensive than Microsoft and more or less REQUIRE you to pay for IBM consultants to get the mess to work.
... you do realize that anyone who actually uses Office and tries Libre office knows your story is completely bunk right?
Libre Office is about as useful at opening and saving word docs as notepad and vi. If that works, good for you, but you didn't need Word or Libre/Open Office from the start anyway.
On wait, you knew that... you're just being a douche and pretending documents are just text and formatting or other features are irrelevant.
Grow up fanboy.
If you don't need the features of word than other software will work just fine. Use the software that fits your needs regardless of who wrote it, but don't try this bullshit of flat out lying about. The real world disagrees with your fantasy.
The cost of a full price microsoft license, even some of their most expensive software is generally less than a weeks pay for the person using it.
That makes the licensing cost pretty much irrelevant to any business that isn't going to fail next week anyway.
The fact that you are hung up on license cost shows a distinct lack of understanding the actual costs involved in using one piece of software over another.
Nothing wrong with using OSS and license cost is something you must consider, but if your battle cry continues to be 'OMG licenses are expensive' then you don't need to be part of the conversation about TCO.
Just because you don't understand why you're driving in an inefficient matter doesn't make it superior. Its cute that you think EVs are magical though.
An EV can get by without a transmission with engine design and its simpler mechanically., but comparing your inefficient preference to buggy whips is just ignorant.

Wow, we haven't seen that one posted a thousand times over the last 8 years.

You are naive.
People calling my phone is an asynchronous interrupt which doesn't fit with my life and work style.
My phone needs to, in order of decreasing importance
1) Play Ingress.
I can live without the voice calls.
From the sound of it, its a safe bet you don't have any friends who would call you, you seem to be pretty antisocial.
Who said anything about ideology?
You did, you implied it when you said he's a big part of why you became a GNU/Linux user
He's even more annoying than those clowns because he has the tendency to be proven right eventually.

Its nice that he redefined the questions to ones that he wanted to talk about instead of answering the question as it was given.
2) IPv6. Should be upgraded already. Really. My own house network, my lab all of it runs IPv6. Throughput gains on IPv6 vs IPv4 is impressive.
Really, like 20% performance upgrade running the exact same protocols on a IPv6 stack.
Either your full of shit or theres some traffic control going on the ipv4 network that isn't on the ipv6 network packets.
IPv6 by design will always be slower over the same wire, it has more packet overhead
the rest of your post is just you talking out your ass about things you don't understand
In Soviet Russia, McAfee sets you on fire!

So you'd end up with an extremely poorly configured network just limping along (as happens in many places)...
Just like most 'linux admins' are some guy who installed it on his home PC and then does nothing but browses the web all day.
Linux admins are no better in ratio than Windows admins, they just whine and bitch more.

An oxymoron.
If it didn't have any problems it wouldn't need to be supported.
Redhat isn't large by any measure, and IBM only uses Linux as a gimmick to lock you into their proprietary items, they might get themselves in the door with Linux, but the rest of the time they're selling you things that are FAR more expensive than Microsoft and more or less REQUIRE you to pay for IBM consultants to get the mess to work.
If by nobody you mean a large portion of the large companies in the world, then sure ... nobody uses it.
So is your computer, which would have all those apps on it even if you didn't use outlook.
So since you already have all your eggs in one basket, why exactly are you bitching.

Zenimax is hardly an unknown company, not knowing who it is tells us far more about you than them.

Hydraulics ... perhaps you should look at what a torque converter is.
