Sure, there's a few of those 2/3 Windows-only games that I'd like to play, but I have enough on the Linux side to keep me busy for the rest of 2016.
People who play online with friends need the same game that their friends have. And if your friends have chosen Windows-only games, you need to either A. get Windows, B. get new friends who have Linux-compatible games, or C. get new friends who are fine with not gaming online.
Among your list, Bloodborne and Super Mario Maker are not available for Windows either. To play all games on the list requires a PlayStation 4 console, a Wii U console, and a Windows PC.
Just for clarification, I was referring to the common requirement of making a website work in both Edge, which is exclusive to Windows 10, and recent Safari, which is exclusive to OS X.
what specific features of a public facing website can't be implemented in standard HTML and CSS?
Those features whose implementation in standard HTML and CSS requires parts of the standard that widely deployed browsers implement either A. incompletely, B. incorrectly, or C. (for parts marked as implementation-defined) in a manner whose behavior matches neither of the major free browsers (Firefox and Chromium).
It's copyright infringement to run OS X in any of those VM products unless you're running the VM product on a Mac. As far as I'm aware, it's impossible to run an OS X-exclusive proprietary app in anything but OS X, as GNUstep is only source compatible with Cocoa, not binary compatible.
I'm guessing it refers to NetworkManager, the GUI tool for finding available networks and configuring interfaces to connect to them. WLAN in particular is a lot more complex than ye olde ifup eth0.
Small-r republican, as in what the US Constitution calls a "republican form of government", refers to one who opposes monarchy and promotes giving power to an elected body (res) representing the people (publica).
If you love Comic Sans, or if you hate Comic Sans, have a look at what Comic Sans wanted to be when it grew up: Comic Neue.
You should also take a look at the Filmotype Apache/August/Beaver family. It's a "casual serif", which has been digitized under the names URW Apache, Panache Stanley and Sixpack, Cochise, Toledo, and Jester. Respected businesses use this family for their corporate branding, including ABCmouse Early Learning Academy and Harris Teeter Neighborhood Food and Pharmacy. It balances the bounciness and honesty of a hand-lettering typeface and the form variety of a dyslexia-friendly typeface with the dignity of a serif, and the best part is that it isn't Comic Sans.
but you'd have to try pretty hard to end up with a laptop that can't run Linux out of the box.
Laptops whose keyboard is detachable (e.g. ASUS Transformer Book T100TA) and compact traditional laptops with the same chipset (e.g. ASUS EeeBook X205TA) have been troublesome, with keyboard, touch, Wi-Fi, audio, and suspend not working out of the box for quite a while. And that's disappointing, as the same company's compact laptops used to be poster children for X11/Linux support.
Disable Google Play Services and obtain free apps through F-Droid instead of proprietary apps through Google Play Store. Better yet, if your phone is supported, install a third-party Android Open Source Project (AOSP) ROM such as CyanogenMod or Replicant. I can't guarantee it'll plug all leaks, but it should stop the big one.
Just install FC23 or whatever and be done with it.
That's fine if you either A. own hardware compatible with Fedora (or whatever X11/Linux distribution for PCs) or B. were planning on replacing your PC anyway. Desktop compatibility is pretty good, I'm told, but laptop compatibility is not guaranteed unless it's from an explicitly Linux-friendly manufacturer such as System76.
You can't install it as an APK on your Android device because only root can write to the hosts file, and by default, only an Android device's manufacturer (not its owner) is root.
It might be for the benefit of non-technical users who don't understand that the chat or forum user recommending sudo rm -rf/ is up to no good. At least if the system is bootable from install media, the user can restore/home from backup.
In fact, often I will listen to 740AM (KTRH) in my car rather than just tune with the radio simply because at audio is so much better; no fading, static, hissing, etc.
But is this better audio worth paying $30 per month to a cellular carrier for a data plan in order to get Internet in your car?
So the only alternative is for customers to ditch cable and to use something like Netflix or spend the money to rent the 2-3 good tv series that come out each year.
"Rent"? Since when do video rental stores exist in most markets? I thought Blockbuster closed.
Season tickets cost more than cable, and you miss away games and the post-season. And if the team that you follow is not the team in your city, airfare alone makes it impractical to attend any match. This could be the team associated with the university from which you graduated or which your child attends, the professional team in the city in which you grew up, the professional team to which your favorite player was traded, or a major league team if you live in a city not big enough for a major league team.
You really owe it to yourself (literally) to check TV Fool and see if you can get OTA TV.
That doesn't help when popular sports are exclusive to traditional multichannel pay TV. I don't know about the Swedish TV market, but in the United States, most of the NHL (ice hockey) playoffs are on NBCSN, and the NCAA division 1 men's basketball playoffs (branded as March Madness) are on TBS this year.
Given that it would be trivial for consumers to be able to pick the channels they want individually on a website and then pay for them for them individually
It'd also be trivial to dissuade subscribers from doing so. "You can have our 50-channel bundle for $50 per month or individual channels at $10 per month each." Which will most people choose?
Furthermore, much of the sport's funding comes from equipment manufacturers who would be more than a little peeved if athletes weren't using their expensive gear.
Then have Team Shimano and Team SRAM provide the stock bikes as a condition of sponsoring the event.

Then how about a piece of software advertised via the "Third Party Misc Tools" section of a site operated by Malwarebytes?
Also watch for the "ad spaminem" fallacy.

Or at least it would be if I still watched linear TV
Even if you don't watch sports, a lot of other people do. Is anything other than linear TV efficient for sports?
I'm fairly sure you can self sign drivers as you need to.
With a big, ugly, always-on-top "Test mode" badge. Or what am I missing?
If all but 9 are NC (not connected) in a widely used application, are they really "contact positions"?
Furthermore, much of the sport's funding comes from equipment manufacturers who would be more than a little peeved if athletes weren't using their expensive gear.
