Yes, and Microsoft is doing all that it can to get us to move to the other side. Hardware vendors serving malware. Microsoft turning into an advertising and spy agency.
What a wonderful world we live in! Where's our jetpack?
Now you're really going off the deep end. Apple conceivably could resurrect the Mac Pros and update the minis to something acceptable this century. But they are so far behind Microsoft for Enterprise that they would never in a million years get any traction. Besides, OS X more or less talks to AD which is what 99.9% of people need.
Remember the Mac servers where never really Enterprise gear. They were designed to give some horsepower to small networks. Apple has never been in the Enterprise space. You might as well ask Apple to design a car.
Guess who is on Trump's 'advisory' team? Guess what Trump wants to spend trillions of dollars on? (Infrastructure in case you missed the twit.)
Digging big holes is infrastructure. He doesn't have to have much more than a bunch of animated You Tube videos to scarf a few billion dollars before everybody finds out that there isn't any money to do all that.
Smart guy. Always ahead of the curve.
Besides, tunneling deep underground is going to be easier than getting to Mars and just might be a good idea in a couple of years.
So you can roast your fingers to nubs to save your stupid phone? What does removability have to do with this? Lots of manufacturers make non removable, non self destructing Lithium Ion batteries. A few companies have even figured out how to get thermal runaway in removable batteries.
Or there is some back channel issue that we won't here about for decades. South Korea is having, shall we say, some interesting times. The whole chaebol construct is getting quite a bit of pushback.
This may have absolutely nothing to do with the Note 7.
Before you do anything - dig a big hole and put one of those giant concrete septic tanks in it. For extra special paranoia, punch a hole in one side, put a metal door in it and then fill out a trench filled with sand so you have an escape tunnel. Put a sump pump (with appropriate battery backup), a ladder and stock it with whatever you need to survive the next four years.
The 21st Century approach to the 1960's bomb shelter.
Little issue of metabolism of drugs requiring consistent dosing schedules to get consistent drug levels. Yep, Xanax is an outlyer - most psychotropic drugs have a longer half life and slower onset of effect. Thus, you take them for a while on a regular basis.
Explain then, please, the little problem that most of the scheduled "mood altering agents' require higher and higher doses to get the same effect. Escalation in doses that eventually run into the deleterious side effects of the drugs. Remember ALL drugs are poisons.
While you post has some measure of truth - there is certainly way too much moralizing being done at the governmental regulatory level for drugs - the FDA didn't just pop out of no where. In the early 1900's you could get heroin, cocaine and a host of other entertaining chemicals at your local pharmacy without a prescription. Of course, this allowed for the creation of tens of thousands of addicts whose lives were drastically changed - even with drug availability. Drug addiction is a truly awful disease. Wander down to any ER and see the societal effects of alcoholism, and to a lesser extent, tobacco abuse.
You can argue that a person's body is their own to mess up. I'd even agree with that. But people don't exist in a vacuum and society has some ill defined skin in this game. We currently aren't doing all that well in this regard (as in many) but it is much more complex than your thesis.
Oh stop. That's almost a word salad obfuscating as insight.
Mental issues - depression, anxiety, what we know call PTSD, psychosis, personality disorders have been carefully characterized as long as humans have been scratching things down in writing. Much of our history really is a testament to how screwed up humans really are.
Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it.

You probably think that there are carburetors that allow a 4000 pound car to get 100 miles per gallon but don't appear on the market because the gas companies hid the research.
Sorry to burst your bubble but neurochemistry is really at the 'try this for two weeks and come back to see me'. Even if you are a Board Certified (TM) psychiatrist. We really are at the very beginning of understanding what the brain is doing and how to modify it.
The situation is much more complex than TFAs suggest - 'psychiatric health' is a pretty vague and shifting target. Depends on your culture, your role in society, your age, your financial situation, your sex, the sex of the idiot sitting next to you, who is president and much more - including your genetic and epigentic makeup. If you are a creative type, you might want to feel a wider breadth of emotions than if you are flying 747's. This doesn't even begin to approach the questions of what goal does 'psychiatric health' have for the society. The powers that be might want everyone on an emotional zombie program. The hoi polloi not so much.
G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate anyone?
Any mental health professional will tell you that the meds don't work all that well. But they do work. People who really did need to be institutionalized before the advent of antipsychotics are out in the community. It's not entirely clear that this helps them or the community but the drugs are arguably doing something useful.
Using broad brush numbers like the amount of antidepressant prescriptions and trying to correlate them with other broad brushed studies using vague and varied methodologies and trying to say anything intelligent is a fool's errand.
I wonder if this applies to Lynda accounts not accessed though Linkedin? Just the same, I changed my password - probably a futile gesture but I'm rather getting used to that feeling.
Careful what you ask for, you just might get it. The collapse of the second largest economy in the world with 1.5 billion people is not going to happen neatly or quietly. If you think the destruction of Syria was a problem, you ain't seen nothin yet.
Because, if you managed to read any of TFA on the subject, the Chinese CG ship was shadowing the US vessel in international waters. When the drone surfaced, the Chinese rushed to grab it. It wasn't accidental. They didn't just go 'look at that'! It was a premeditated effort.
They did it to puff out their claim that the region is Chinese territorial waters. Now they will back down, hand the thing back and smirk a bit. Probably thought it was the last chance to do something like this before Trump takes office and tweets the beginning of WW3 over some similar trivial incident.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Trump lost the popular vote. He won the Electoral College vote.
Now, the numbers aren't real impressive in either case, a percentage point or so. No great mandate on either side. But if the American people 'have spoken' they mumbled a lot.
Why do Democrats want war with Russia so badly? Hillary was practically calling for nuclear strikes on Moscow and Obama doesn't seem to be much better.
You have a deeply divided country. When this happens the best way to deal with it is an outside enemy. Which these days has to be China - except we are too entwined with them economically, some butfuck country in the Levant or Russia. The Aliens are smart enough not to show themselves.

What's the best hardware nowadays to run MacOS/X? Ahem, one with HDMI and normal USB ports. And magsafe.
A one or two year old Mac.

If you will notice, the iPhones and iPads have not been blessed with much 'innovation' these days. Just courage.

Oh for crying out loud just get a real computer that runs Linux, It's the best thing you will ever do.
And run what? Blender and Gimp?
The real world would like to have a short discussion with you.

Can't be too careful these days.
You only get justice if you can afford it.
It's the American way.

Take your meds.

I just checked the calendar, it's not April 1st. So exactly what drugs are you on? Have you considered going in for a med check?
Check the previous Slashdot article. The meds won't help.

We shall write a very stern letter.
And send it to the UN!

That's OK - they gave us some target practice. That's invaluable training. It's way more fun when the targets go BOOM.
