my mother has used macs ever since they began, she had an original apple (the little square box with the keyboard and mouse). she has upgraded her mac every 3-4 years or so, she hates windows.. as the years have gone by she has gotten increasingly more frustrated with apple and it's OS, saying it is more like windows.
she now has issues with the OS all the time, i have had to go and have apple reimage the system every couple of years because it is completely unusable by that time.
i support an environment of 40% mac and 60% pc and the macs do all of the above, plus they lose searching in outlook, they drop bluetooth support needing SMC restarts and removal of ALL usb devices, they can't properly sync with AD, they have problems with WIFI profiles.
they are just as bad as windows and a little bit worse because anything you can typically rma and cross ship with a PC supplier you have to go and sit at the apple store for support. and after 2 hours there they RMA the device anyways.. but don't offer any type of data transfer.
not to mention all of the crap that is widely discussed in PC forums is on lockdown in the apple forums and receive no answer.. just a random fix from apple x years down the road with no acknowledgement or word as to why it was borked in the first place.
Took it to IT asking if they could upgrade office for me, and there was a lot of head scratching going on and it was half a day before I got my mac back."
did you tell them you had tried to upgrade it yourself and then reinstalled the old version?
i would think 200 people being paid 10% more because they can do their own IT would be more cost than the relevant IT needed to support 200 who don't (1 tech and 1 manager).
why does it matter that he did it in 1995? anybody else would have been successful? that was the one year that losing is somehow worse than any other year?
in one of his slides he listed hunger as the cause of 3.1 million deaths each year, as these are preventable deaths but not a death that could possibly affect zuckerberg, it was marginalized and not part of the effort that this money will be put towards.
it's weird because i've watched a couple of documentaries about bees and beekeepers and both points you make run completely counter to what the beekeepers in the documentaries said.
1. ccd is something that is relatively new and related to a specific chemical being used, the problem happened in france, then they banned the chemical and the problem went away, the same thing happened here in the same way but we still use the chemical. i don't se how you would know what happens to feral hives . they are feral, they locations have to be discovered and unless you knew where all the feral hives were and were actively monitoring them you would never "know ccd wiped them out".
2. honey used to be profitable but in the last 5-10 years the market has been flooded with "fake" honey (honey and sugar syrup mixes) and driven down the price where it is not solely profitable to run honeybees for their honey.

uh oh, better tell all the parents of children and adults living with ADHD who take this as a medication. (i've done both extensively, there is really no difference between meth and adderall/dexadrine).
Why isn't Rip Torn in the film? Rip Torn isn't in the movie, because he was arrested after breaking into a closed Litchfield Bancorp branch office in Lakeville, Connecticut, where Torn maintains a residence. He was charged with carrying a firearm without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, second-degree criminal trespassing and third-degree criminal mischief. The Connecticut State Police said that Torn broke into the bank thinking it was his home.... On December 14, 2010, Torn pled guilty to a litany of charges: reckless endangerment, criminal trespass, criminal mischief and the illegal carrying of a firearm and was given a two-and-a-half-year suspended jail sentence and three years probation.

no that is left to the highway officials who put limits on who can use the bridges (no trucks over x tons). it's analogous

as opposed to how cool and awesome you are by astroturfing for netflix programming.
just ignore this jerk, he doesn't matter.
yes, but are you in the majority? netflix can't subsist on a small handful of original content viewers alone.
i left netflix for the opposite reason, i want to watch movies, not TV series, i have other ways to watch TV series but not movies.
the free market can fix all things, regulation is bad and hampers the self correcting free market.

like every game and OS ever. why does anyone buy something the day it comes out (or pre-order) and then complain about the state of the game?
Name one game or OS that was released without major complaint in the last 5-10 years.
you're absolutely right, under the water at the socal beaches it was a pleasant 65 degrees.
