It depends if you use the site for networking/an online presence or just to keep in touch with people you know.
In the latter, I'm only connected to people I've met in real life, so have less than 150 acquaintances. many are people I worked with but haven't seen for a number of years, mind you.
actual people on the site I see in the flesh at least once a year is probably less than 25...
No but I wouldn't expect a company to indefinitely support a compatibility module for a technology that they haven't actively developed for over 2 decades. I don't hear anyone complaining in 2016 that OS X won't natively run Mac OS 7.1 applications from the early 90s.
Microsoft stopped shipping MSDOS (via Windows Millennium Edition) a long time ago. If you've had 15 years to transition off DOS and Win16 applications that worked only via a compatibility mode of XP then I don't think you can blame MS for not giving your customers ample time to update.
It was a Google employee whose company supplied computer was designed by the company themselves. He probably copped some flack from his manager for destroying a thousand dollar piece of hardware. But equally the QA team may cop bigger flack for not testing this scenario.
Wait for the 2016 model correcting this problem.:)
The surprising thing in all of this is a lack of regulation.
Surely there ought to be a body like the FCC that issues a certification for electrical components sold by a major American online retailer like Amazon before these things even get listed.
Some organisations I've worked at with hundreds of employees on site means big savings if they switch. And they don't necessarily own said depreciating hardware assets in the first place but instead lease the desktops. e.g I worked at one place for 2 years and had 3 workstations in that time.
$3/month/desktop might not sound like much but let's say you have 300 desktops on a 24 month lease - that's a $1/4million off your power bills.
I would have thought these days for 'Continuum' it's just a checkbox in their IDE to target a different processor architecture, with compiler warnings as to why this C code is non-portable.

Like it or not but webconferencing and push notifications have been implemented in the major competitors' browsers.
One human's bloat is another's functionality.

Dropping the platform for starters.

Still running the general release 10240 build.
Allegedly there was some November update that was aborted.
which is no help if you're posting from the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

On the plus side, your fencing skills would improve.
Absolutely.

Certain processors are crippled to only allow 1 or 2GB of RAM, thus allowing MS to segment the market on licensing.
i.e. those cheap generic brand Windows 8/10 tablets discounted at the service counter of supermarkets and department stores.

Sorry to Mrs KGill, it won't happen again!
it's New Editor Day, though I'm not sure yaelk is any improvement over timothy.
I was expecting to read New Hampshire had seceded from the other 49 but obviously "Free State" means something different in American English.
Maybe they were going for Racket but that's already taken by schemers.
It worked well with MS and Edge.
How about Mozilla Bono?
Everyone needs a hobby. Why shouldn't he learn a foreign language in his spare time...
Except that ASCII Slashdot doesn't support Cyrillic.
So at this rate, Hurd which is also "hanging off a Mach microkernel" is more likely to have native Docker supporter before OS X. :)
Her majesty's governments of Canada, NZ, Australia, Isle of Man, Jersey etc aren't part of the UK.
