Normal people don't start spouting off their most controversial opinions in a group of their friends and relatives unless they're in the middle of an in-depth discussion that led to it. Why would it be OK to randomly post that shit on facebook?
He gave four examples. We are meant to assume there are MORE examples. As someone who is a "computer person" (like damn near everyone else around here), I can tell you that I have more than four examples. I might have four hundred examples if I go dig through my file cabinets.
If your computer is more than five years old, you will not be able to use all new hardware and software, and you won't be able to fully participate in the internet. There's nothing fringe about that.
Many people would be very unhappy with the loss of these products. Our personal lives would not be affected in any real way besides maybe having to change an email address.
Corporate users may have to undertake expensive migrations.
Easy! Just get rid of the entitlement complex, roll the mouse wheel one more notch, and the article you aren't interested in will disappear from your screen.
Relevant example you didn't catch: the Dothan (Pentium M/Centrino) architecture is the foundation of the Core line. The processor designed in Israel was not significantly changed until Nehalem.
Why do so many great open source projects have such awful names? There's so much value in having a memorable, likable name, it boggles my mind that more open-source projects don't bother.
I have to know. What the hell is the point of this shit? I mean, if it had a link to something, or a shout-out to GNAA, or just anything, I would understand.
*.NET/ASP.net/C# - With lots of open standards complient, rapid development alternatives with lower cost and better cross-platform support available, will these technologies stay relevant, or will they soon be in the junk bin?
*Windows Server / IIS / MS SQL - does anyone take these seriously anymore? Again, open source solutions are better, more efficient, free, and easy to implement.
*Office - continues to be the industry standard, but for how long, when alternatives from Apple and the open source community equal or rival it in every conceivable way.
All three of those are smashing successes. What the hell are you on about?
I've never heard a Spanish speaker operate from 10hz to 20khz at full dynamic range, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to hear what that sounds like!
I've no argument with the firewall. It's the "program interaction" feature you mentioned that made me wonder.
Some apps have no need to connect to the internet, yet they will do it anyway. WHY?
Because the world has changed. Software accesses the internet if there's any slightly convenient or useful thing it can do thereby ("useful" in this case is often something only the developer could comprehend to begin with). It's not a crime. It's easy, readily available, and very 2010.
You are, of course, welcome to monitor your computer and only allow approved software to access the internet, but I submit to you that the developers are not wrong for using the internet.

First of all, EUR 30 in the mid-80s is equivalent to roughly EUR 55 today
30 Euro in the when?

2. They just recently got married and keep posting how much in love they are (I'm single)
First boyfriends are vastly worse.
WoW is juts a Skinner Box for humans.
What isn't?
Going to the dentist.
NOT going to the dentist is.
Go ahead, don't update your stuff.
But don't you dare complain if you can't do stuff.

But why doesn't he at least respond to the allegations? Did Rob Malda smoke a cock in 1990 or did he not?

Read the GP. My post was pointing out the significance of the Pentium M because the GP was asking about it. The larger issue is beyond my pale.
The purpose of the electrical stuff was obstinately for much simpler reasons
Who wants this one?

+1 introduced me to the word "outwith"
Same resolution, but not nearly the same quality. They look completely different.
There's always somebody who desperately needs to search for sextants and chicken breasts. I say we rename those two things so the algorithm works.

Yes it's semantic - all communication is. Without paying attention to semantics, there's no point in communicating.
You're being deliberately obtuse, friend.
It's always better when you can't be quite sure if you're looking at a really subtle joke or a typo.

Killing yourself removes you from the gene pool, whether you've bred or not. It's a semantic problem.
Cubes of rock and sand...
There's a Minecraft joke in here somewhere.
