I used to be 100% linux. I was the lead engineer for an environment that had 300 linux vms, oversaw the move from Debian to RHEL, and generally just couldn't imagine using windows.
Now I manage a windows environment. It's all 2012R2 and with server manager, core/minimal, DSC, and powershell. I honestly really enjoy it and find it to be a perfectly fine solution. I'm as happy now as I was and I run a surface 3 pro with a dock and dual displays and manage about 200 windows vms.
That's actually the point of the 2nd amendment you know. To insure the populace is able to fight the government when it attempts to take away the rights insured to them in the constitution.
Look, my state wants to make cold medicine prescription only. They want to do this to fight meth. Yet almost no meth today is made with cold medicine. Cold medicine is almost always bought by legal users who will never make meth. Most meth now is made by bulk chemicals brought into this country from mexico. It's easier to work with, cheaper, and less risk.
The same can be said about guns. Most users are legal and will never use their gun in a crime. Mass shoots are rare and just like drugs, if we make them illegal the users will find other means of getting their insanity in action. The only thing taking away guns will do is hurt the legal owners of guns. It will not deter crime, mass shootings, or anything else. The only way this could even start to work is if we could find a way to collect all our existing guns. In my state alone that would be impossible as there are no records of gun owners from person to person sales.
The answer here imho is to enforce existing gun laws, improve the background check process to include databases for mental illness, create a federal universal standard for CCW that is accepted in all 50 states (My state for example requires no tests, just some cash and fingerprints), and remove restrictions on conceal carry. You ever notice most mass shootings are at places and events where it is illegal to carry a gun?
Lastly, if Australian gun laws are really something the country wants to do we better start working on a constitutional amendment. Without changing the constitution any attempt at this will fail.
I'd say the average CCW holder goes to the range far more often than most police officers. I go at least once a week, but my officer friend only goes when he has to qualify.
I bought a LG 55 inch smart tv a few years ago. About 2 years later the apps were no longer supported nor updated. That's how I found roku in the first place. It's cheaper to replace the roku than the tv every 2-3 years.
Am I the only person who wants my smart features outside my TV? Just give me HDMI/Displayport hookups (and lots of them) and get out of my way. I'll buy a Roku.
Being that OSX is a PC operating system I'm guessing they won't combine OSX and iOS because he believes laptops and desktops are dying technology that no longer needs his attention.
I've never been asked. That doesn't mean I still don't refuse to give up my rights. I am a staunch defender of gun ownership rights. That statement was a way to express that.
That said, while I've never been directly asked, I've indirectly felt the growing movement in this country that guns are too dangerous and that our protection should be left to police and the government. Something I strongly object to. My protect is my responsibility. Police can help, but they are not responsible for my safety.
That said (again), I've never needed my firearm for self defense and I hope I never need it. I also hope the same about my fire extinguisher and epipen.
I am a gun owner. I have a permit and I carry daily. I support our rights to own firearms and refuse to give mine up. I believe that anyone who does this has a great responsibility to society to be trained, secure their weapon, and to be responsible. It should be a felony to leave a weapon unsecured and unsupervised. If a child acquires a weapon from you and uses it to harm himself or commit a crime you should be charged with a felony.
Only if you prove you took adequate steps to secure your weapon (safe, trigger locks, etc) should you be able to walk away free. We need to encourage responsible gun ownership and punish irresponsible gun ownership. These types of situations are preventable simply through education and a little bit of punishment.
I figured they were being qualified. That's the only way I can explain the recruitment calls I get.
Ok, you found me on linkedin, you can see then I have a great full time job. Sure I'd love to sell my home and quit my job so I can move across the country for a 2 month contract gig that might be extended based on their needs.....
For my household 100Mb/s is the sweet spot. We had problems with 50 when everyone was streaming, and anything more than 100 is cost prohibited. But 100 is just perfect, no complaints about speed and under $100 bucks a month.
If there is one thing that the media and the internet has taught me. EVERYONE is a racist. EVERYONE. You are a racist, you just don't know it yet. It's coming though, something you say offends someone of a different race, trust me. I'm a white male, my existence alone is racist.
It's very easy to use. I'm a wallet minimalist, so I hate carrying multiple cards. With NFC payment systems I can just tap the phone and pick the card I want to charge. It is also more secure in the US where pin and chip are not yet a standard. My phone is always at hand, my wallet not so much. If only we could get a digital drivers license I wouldn't even need a wallet any longer.
The biometric options are even nicer as I don't have to type in a pin. Just touch and press thumb.
NFC works for me everywhere I go. My vending machines are NFC enabled, every single fast good joint I've been to. My grocery store is NFC enabled, my gas station is NFC enabled. Many chain restaurants are NFC enabled (if it has a pay terminal on the table like chili's). Lowe's, walmart, and Home depot are NFC enabled. It's reached a point I get frustrated when I have to use my card.
There are a lot of things about phones that are not deal breakers. You might want front facing speakers, but that's probably not a deal breaker. Then there are deal breaker features.
For example, I can't stand phones bigger than 5.5". So those giant nexus 6's are a deal breaker. If you don't support my carrier of choice, that's a deal breaker. If it's not stock or nearly stock android, it's a deal breaker. This phone was on my must buy list though the entire launch event, until I found out it's missing NFC support. I use NFC too much, so that's a deal breaker.

They will put you in jail for distribution of non-licensed encryption technology until you add that backdoor.

That's pretty mean to say about France.

I'd start paying hookers to hang out in front of city hall so their families can get letters like this.

I just went to nvidia.com and downloaded their drivers and installed them without giving them an email address or creating an account.

Looks like they don't operate in my State.
I need both solar and global warming. Otherwise I'd have to heat my roof to get the 12+ inches of snow off it for 4+ months.

Thanks for calling recruiter from India...

"You can't heat the great outdoors."
Are you sure about that? I thought global warming was man made?
"For intensive tasks, he remotes to more powerful machines".
So he can't survive without it....

NFC is a huge deal breaker for me. I was super excited about this phone, especially with dual sim. But sadly, I"ll have to pass without NFC support.
I've gotten at least two jobs via linkedin. One when a former business contact posted a job description and other when a recruiter reached to me.
