What do you base that on considering such things as the NVIDIA drivers for both being worked on by the same team and updated at the same time. Is it a guess? Or just cheering for your special toy?
not for performance reasons
Meanwhile back in reality if the CPU has less to do it performs better at the things it is doing. A stripped down MS system would also perform well for exactly the same reason.
Yes, which is why for years people have been strongly advising against putting MS machines out naked on the net without the adult supervision of something else between them and the wild internet. Of course those other things could be compromised as well but with the MS stuff there is a very long history of problems due to an allow by default mentality instead of blocking everything apart from the stuff you know that you want.
Isn't it funny how the "small government" types often want far more power to tell people what to do? Chairman Mao would be pleased with such a desire to have a command economy. The only reason China is capable of building Apples today is because they relaxed such idiotic control.
The only reason I no longer own a rifle is because my eyesight is shit and I can no longer hit anything, but I grew up with the values of responsible gun storage and gun use that you list above.
I feel I should be allowed to own any military weapon
You know how to use them responsibly and are not going to hand a fully automatic weapon to a small child as some idiot who paid with his life when the obvious happened last year. Others who bleat loudly about such things appear to know less about responsible gun use than I had to learn at the age of seven before I first handled a rifle, but I was brought up by parents who both hunted as children to bring home meat during WWII and see guns as tools and not some weird flag substitute.
Also, if you give a copy to your friend, you don't have to worry about them coming up to you a couple of years later and demanding the source, which may prove to be hard for defunct code that "just works" for your case.
True, but one of the inspirations of wide adoption of the GPL was a proliferation of shit code and a cottage industry of hacks supporting their shit work instead of providing both the tool and what was needed to maintain it. Something at the hobby level provided to do a job should come complete instead of only containing the executable, because there are going to be instances where it cannot do the job without tweaking to fit a new environment or other reasons.
Isn't that the American way? Or is it just what Trump wants us to think is the American way so he could get away with shafting others for his failures? Personally I think the "if you don't catch me cheating I'm a clever businessman" is fairly universal and you always need enough people to be able to tell when your contractors are ripping you off.
It costs more because the manufacturing "stack" is no longer in one place as it used to be, not because of wages, unions or whatever. Germany can still get things done that the USA cannot because they still have local suppliers that are close enough to react by feedback.
It's variable so you don't know either in the general case. It's only in the specifics where it's known - dollars per hour, cartons of beer, a roast dinner, fixing a PC or loan of a lawnmower.
I've encountered plenty that don't - you can spot them by looking for unpaid volunteers at the exec level instead of the scams with fatcats on the board leeching millions that you seem to think is the norm. Ironically some of the "non-profits" (not actually a charity) who have the task of collecting copyright royalties for artists fit the scam status, there was one in the UK that was a black hole taking money in, not letting it out and paying millions to the directors of the org.
It means nothing because not only do these people know zero about the issue but their current advisors also know zero about the issue. Guesses are being reported and those guesses sound like authoritarian madness because that's the dumbed down to the point of utter evil form of government.
A popular assignment to set students was to give them a reasonable quality tool and a poor quality tool to destructively test and compare. In some situations good enough gets the job done and in others a poor quality tool is not going to last as long or sometimes even do the job at all. Yes, they could be doing all the tests in first year, but by second year they can get some understanding of why and which tests to select without being told.
Does SystemD make money for Red Hat by causing more demand for support?
I doubt it since so much commercial stuff is still on older versions of RHEL due to a combination of a lot of commercial software taking years to come out for new versions of anything (see how much scientific and engineering software on MS isn't supported past Win7 yet for example) and people liking the old version of gnome. It appears that most of the stuff RedHat does paid support for doesn't have systemd yet. It's just plain old stupid workplace politics to calm an enormous ego instead of a broken window fallacy to generate pointless busywork. It's in RedHat's best interests for systemd to require as little demand for support as possible so as not to scare people away from the platform. The core idea of what systemd is supposed to be is not bad in itself, what is bad is that scope creep has made it diverge wildly from that idea and the execution of the idea has been both poor by design and poorly implemented before moving onto the next shiny thing. It has spread from the idea one little thing done well to an enormous pile of utter newbie mistakes by people way out of their depth by expanding into areas they know little or nothing about - pretty well just so the project name can be stuck on everything at a low level in linux userspace.
I hope you get better soon. I keep on bringing up North et al every now and again as an example of how when things get political the actions can be the exact opposite of what the people doing them say their values are. Since he's still very much active in NRA politics today it's a good reminder that they are not quite what they pretend to be. However I was relying on memory too much and mixing up all the many other players who "did not deal with terrorists" - unless of course the terrorists had a business model of kidnapping Americans and swapping them for a very large number of anti-tank missiles.
Looks like I am mistaken - Weinberger, Clarridge etc got pardoned not North and Poindexter. From the wikipedia summary it looks like reality was a circle-jerk of immunities to prosecution with nobody left over to actually prosecute apart from the guy that took money North embezzled to build a fence. Still, I think it's far more valid to accuse North or treason than to accuse Snowden - there's a lot of the latter going on despite no formal finding.
But many companies have numerous employees that need effective tools that simply have no real learning curve at all
It's what they desire but reality steps in making complex tasks require more than just guesswork. Show me an effective 3D design tool that can be used to provide enough to fabricate non-trivial components that has no learning curve at all and I will concede the point, but currently I see the point as little other than an unfulfilled wish.
Glass typewriter? It's never been hard even before MS and linux existed. However once you go from very simple tools to complex (eg. typesetting/DTP versus just typing stuff) there is a learning curve.
It IS a RedHat project - they even paid for Lennart to go to conferences to promote systemd when it was only a concept as well as his salary while he was writing it from day one.
It boggles my mind that even migrating from one version of Windows to the next apparently results in what they consider to be a giant learning curve, so how can you realistically ever expect them to adapt from Windows to Linux more easily?
Gnome2 and a pile of others act a lot more like MS Win7 than MS Win8 does, and it's generally all about the applications, so that's how it's a less difficult transition.
I had to use google just to work out how to turn MS Win8 off - what is it with hidden controls offscreen?
I keep on hearing this but it's a long ago solved problem. One solution is in Japan where horizontal traffic lights are used in the south but in the north they have vertical ones with large gaps in the shrouds designed to not get clogged up with snow. Just because your area has not bothered to solve it due to fragmentation of government services does not mean that they cannot solve it by simply buying the solution of of a catalogue!
It's also like arguing that solar panels are useless due to snow buildup while ignoring that the majority of the world's population live in places where it does not snow at all.
You do not understand how utterly hilarious it is hearing something like that from a person that is probably thirty or more years younger than me:) Here's a clue kid - Apollo inspired me to go into engineering.
Less researched? It's the road most followed. Even traffic lights have LEDs in them now. People who did not care about building insulation at all a few years ago have it. Roofs are being painted white. We could always do more but it is definitely not being ignored.
They do if your task requires using a lot more memory than the cards have onboard. At that point as much bandwidth as you can get never seems like enough.
Yes you are entirely correct that the process was halted before he could be found guilty of treason but I still have an opinion and can still accuse. Even if he really was following orders to sell weapons to two declared enemy groups, one with very recent blood on it's hands, IMHO it's a situation of putting "King" before country and still very much treason while being very much against what the US or any country that values freedom is supposed to be.
Maybe next time I should state outright that it's only my opinion and that he was pardoned before he could legally be declared a traitor or found to be innocent.

Read your own post above and apply the same standard to it :)
It's good for a laugh if nothing else.

It's the road most followed.
Even traffic lights have LEDs in them now. People who did not care about building insulation at all a few years ago have it. Roofs are being painted white. We could always do more but it is definitely not being ignored.
Chicken/egg situation - there are compute tasks not considered for GPUs due to not having the memory bandwidth.
They do if your task requires using a lot more memory than the cards have onboard. At that point as much bandwidth as you can get never seems like enough.
