Except that that is completely false, and it ships with the old command line shell due to compatibility constraints.
I read somewhere that the programmers didn't want to rewrite the old command line, as they get paid for writing new lines of code. Hence, they wrote PowerShell. They could have rewritten the command line and still maintain backwards compatibilty.
Linux has the luxurious advantage of being able to arbitrarily break backwards compatibility, because in terms of market share almost nobody uses it anyway.
Except that is completely false. Many of the Linux utilities and command line shells are 20 to 30 years old. That's a lot of backwards compatibility. SystemD is a major exception to that rule.
Historically, Microsoft has always written in spaghetti code for Windows. Also, their financial compensation encourages new lines of code over refactoring old lines of code. Which is why Windows ships with the old black-and-white Command Line and the new colorized PowerShell.
I did flowcharts in my very first computer class at college in the early 1990's. May even still have the plastic stencil thingie packed away somewhere.
Back in the Apple ][ days, my junior high school didn't have an open lab period. If you didn't have one at home, you did your Logo assignments on paper and typed them in during the few minutes before class started.
Autonomy is not off the hook, however â" the case has now been entirely ceded to U.S. authorities.
Handed over to the U.S. Petty Fraud Department, where a slap on the wrist and a generous tax break for HP will be quickly administrated. Move along. Nothing to see here.
My roommate loved that game (MOO2). His favorite tactic was to hold his enemies at bay long enough to build out 36 Death Stars that would systematically vaporize all the enemy planets. Having 36 Death Stars firing at once is enough to bring the CPU to its knees. He never got tired of wrecking the interstellar neighborhood.
I was just a contractor on the refresh project. The Dell All-in-One computers I deployed a few years ago had a stand to attach the monitor in front and the small form factor (SFF) computer in back. The newer Dell All-in-One computers are following the iMac design. If an All-in-One breaks down, user data should already be on the network and the unit can be swapped out with an identical replacement unit. If the break fix technician can't repair the unit, it's sent back to Dell for warranty repair.
The market for all-in-one is close to 0. I'm not saying it's not legitimate, but it's a small niche. And yet, many people are buying iMacs. It makes me beleive that it's the lack of alternative in the Apple desktop PC which makes people buy iMacs and not the need for an all-in-one.
I did a PC refresh project at a local hospital to replace Dell desktop computers with Dell all-in-one computers. The nurses didn't care what computer was at their nursing station as long as it worked. The doctors and other professionals who worked out of offices frequently requested an iMac. I had to disappoint them that weren't getting a better computer. The refresh was a prelude to rolling out virtual Windows desktops over the network.
My vintage 2006 Black MacBook lasted eight years until the CPU fan died for a second time. The only reason I didn't go down to the Apple Store to have it repaired was the obsolete 32-bit CPU. Newer software updates required a 64-bit CPU. So I switched over to my Win8 video game machine until I can save up for a new Mac. Nice to see that Windows is catching up to OS X in usability.
One could argue that there's a no need to have a court system. If a cop pulls you over for a traffic violation, you're guilty. No need to establish innocence or haggle over penalties. The cop blows your brains out on the side of road, saving the public some money in court costs and your dead body will remind potential offenders that there are legal consequences for violating laws.
This would explain why SPACE: 1999 had the runaway Moon passing a planet outside the solar system in every episode. For all these years, I thought British SF TV was just weak in the science department.
The "mandatory reporter" is probably the same person who complains that your dead petunias in the frontyard devalued her house by $25K in a hot real estate market. Not that she's selling her house or had it appraised recently. Had a few encounters like that in California.
I wouldn't be surprised if their parents or grandparents never told them that they had to walk five miles to school every day when they were younger. (My father walked through the railroad yards in the 1940's.) Hence, they never got their ass kicked for asking to be driven to school. (I got my ass kicked and had to walk through the tomato fields in the 1970's.) Since they have never had to walk to school, it must be parental abuse if a child has to walk down a paved street.
My mother let me stay home from school because I was always sick (i.e., overweight, high blood pressure, and ulcers) and I spent three years on probabtion for truancy. After I got off probation, the probation officer discovered that my family rented the really nice two-story house that we lived in. He told my mother he would have taken me away if he had known we were renters. Since we didn't directly pay his salary through county property taxes, we had less rights as renters than owners in his eyes. I doubt that would hold up in a court of law.
The first reports I read said the rocket came down to hard and damaged the platform. I thought it landed vertically by coming in too fast and smashing the platform surface. Watching the video, the rocket landed sideways before exploding. Things always goes badly when they go sideways.

Considering how out-of-sync the Repbulicans are with the rest of America, the veto pen will be needed to stop a lot of stupid bills from becoming law.

That's the Republican response to the State of the Union address last night.
That's a lot of spaghetti code in Internet Explorer. I don't think the open source community has enough programmers to unravel that mess.
One or two Death Stars didn't help the Emperor win in Star Wars. ;)

They use the school computers.

They're not real bullets (i.e., you can't shoot them), but they're available in silver and copper.
If lead is a liquid on the surface of Venus, so will tinfoil.
If you want privacy, move to Venus. Just don't expect your lead underwear to last too long there.
Of course, AI's want to kill humans. If it bleeds, it leads.
