Bad analogy. Computers are made to be configurable. Also, cars have better encapsulation, in that you don't need to know the internal functions to avoid other cars.
People did use to tweak their cars (I don't own one) before the engines started getting sealed.
Are you suggesting that the various flavors of Microsoft Windows require less maintenance? What kind of "maintenance" does the Linux desktop require?
So compiling intimidates the masses? Hmm. . . I suppose that literacy would have intimidated medieval serfs. Maybe the masses ought to be "intimidated", not in the sense of being pushed around, but in the sense of having to confront their ignorance of computers.
It might have helped if the author had included some examples of math done in InDesign. Also, while TeX may have a steep learning curve, you only have to climb it once.
Does InDesign use a textual markup language? Can I write programs to generate InDesign output?
Having one gene for sickle cell is actually an adaptation against malaria. If you targeted sickle cell, you might kill all those people who have one such gene, but not those who have none.
Also, what genetic weakness could you exploit against the Chinese that would not affect the Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc.
Did early BSDs support IDE/ATAPI CDROMs? Did they support the FAT file systems?
And as for "unprofessional behavior", what professions did the demonstrators practice? Maybe they were students and not programmers. Is demonstrating unprofessional for a student?
If we were observing the formation of a new solar system, I might agree that the probability of intelligent life evolving in it is low. Nevertheless, that is not our context. Probabilities deal with the order of our awareness of events, not their temporal order. The probability that there is intelligent life on earth is 1. Given that, we can then ask about the probability that intelligent life evolved.
Using Windows disks as rocket fins? Maybe rude, but hardly chicanery. And the Linux Revolt? Gee, Microsoft would never have ads in a store. And even the middle one wasn't too obnoxious. Nothing here like the Boston Massacre or Boston Tea Party.
I believe that YaST allows this. In YaST, go into network cards and add a network card. Then go to advanced options -> hardware options, and enter ndiswrapper as the module.

How is InDesign easier to use than TeX? I've never used InDesign, just curious.
My apartment complex has such a receptacle, and I use it.
Is homosexuality actually a disease, or should we just treat it as one?
What don't you like about her epistemology?
No, I mean something that has 16 virtual desktops.
And for those of us who like heterogeneity?
No, the grandparent is correct: whose first Gulf War (was this)? The statement required the possessive, which the grandparent provided.
Did you mean: doesn't have as deep pockets as Intel?
But if you never even saw the EULA, are you bound by it?
2^28 is only 268,435,456. 128 billion is about 2^37.

He didn't say that the rate of literacy went up by 1000%, but that literacy went up by 1000%.
But then, why is violence wrong? Or are you treating it as an axiom of ethics?
I would say that that's more of a compiling against a file issue than a configuration issue.
Intelligence could be positive or negative. :-)
Are you saying that self-defense is morally wrong? Or only that violence in self-defense is wrong?
Not a good idea in the US. Interfering with mail delivery is a serious offense.

Ah, you may be correct there.
