so, the response of the one AI was to also higher the price to 'boost sales'? that is the most stipid AI i ever heard of, instead of leaving your price low and steal all the customers of the other station which did higher it's price.
Sure they can do that, but i think the problem is nobody wants to learn that language anymore. I'm note sure all those companies are willing to pay wages high enough that people actually want to do it. I still was still thaught cobol (3 years worth of it), i don't want to spend my days with that language anymore and nobody else in class liked it either.
as if politics can't eliminate great ideas, or at least pester them so that either you or the inventor don't want to use them anymore. what's the deal with those tesla stores again? or uber & airbnb around the whole world?
I think the stability issue is limited to windows? My colleagues also complain a lot about firefox stability, but i never have problems with it on Linux (ok, not never, but very very few) while they use windows.
First real computer was a Amstrad (Actually Schneider, but it's the same thing) CPC464 with a green screen. I had an Atari 2600 before that. My cousin wanted an Atari as well, but his parents bought him a C64. When he got it, i went over to check it out and, sure the gfx and sound were way better then the 2600, but what the real big deal was, was that you could enter programs and create your own stuff. There was even an extensive manual included. C64 was too expensive, the CPC464 was a complete solution with screen and costed less, my parents got me one of those. I loved it!
Poor you, here (belgium, top entry) we have hidden taxes in everything too. Price of electricity has increased more then 100% over 10 years because of extra taxes, for example and there are many more examples.
Belgian here (you know, top entry in the list), you think we don't have property taxes etc. to pay on top of what we're already taxed? hahaha... (why am i laughing?)
computing itself is still pretty much fun these days, whatever you miss from the old days you can fire up an old machine or emulator just as easy. what has changed, and probably will never come back is the culture around it, which was very different. a simple example is a book store, if you were lucky and the book store had a computer section, it was filled with cool high tech books. walk into a book store now and find useless bs like masterin your iphone, photoshop mastery in 24h, internet explorer unlocked, surfing the world wide web.
Just remember how both gnome & ubuntu advanced when they worked together. I think both grew stronger during that time and had were at their best. They splits ways, for no good reason, sure the first release of Gnome 3 was not really up to snuff, but Unity can almost be completely remade in Gnome 3 with extentions etc. Now combining forces again, both projects can grow faster and advance at a faster pace. Also, there is no reason why Gnome 3 wouldn't be a good fit for a phone/tablet just as much as Unity was.
plain and simple, don't go. For vacation, the world is a big place, there are enough other beautiful, friendly places to visit. For business, make them do the trip to you.
That is not the same at all, Google make Android they can set their demands. I can use Fedora or Ubuntu and will have to wait when the distro makes an update available, BUT i will get it when it has been made available NOT depending if it runs on a pc from HP, DELL, ASUS, ACER,...
Only because the ARM platform sucks and most of them are not officially supported in the kernel. Google could simply say to them: If you want to have your ARM SOC used in an android phone? Well work with the linux kernel devs for get it in there.
... there are more jobs available for working in a grocery store, but not for people with a university degree. It's the future right there, no need to get a higher education anymore because there is no demand for it.
even in those instances where you can use your phone (music, navigating if phone is in a stand) the police can still prosecute you. It feels random and just something they can get you with if they want to.

don't use windows and expect to get away with it.
did it first!

...could have been much worse, like for example wasting money on building a wall or something silly like that.
Andy Jassy is almost correct, except that he's listing all the benefits of open source instead of them being 'cloud' benefits.

They had to make a rule that tells people not to do this?

Soon we'll be listening to music as they do in the 'demolition man' movie, where it's basically 'catchy' jingles everybody sings along with.
...we would all be mocking it's unrealistic plot.

it is not limited to programmers, but basically any profession representation is build on stereotypes.

What I'm really looking for is Linux that works without constant under-the-hood tweaking (ala early Windows flavors, 3.1, 95/98)
Really? if you think those didn't need constant tweaking, you have a distorted memory of using them (or you never used them at all).

No, it is probably correct, the CIA does foreign, the NSA does national.
I'm pretty sure they work well together in sharing their spy-tools...
