Around my place (podunk Poland) that food in a nice restaurant costs 10 times less. The hardware costs more (in absolute terms!). And Poland is a mid-range EU country, making it way above world's average. So GP's price comparison is pretty deeply flawed.
This doesn't excuse you from not having backups, though. If you're vulnerable to Windows 10 upgrades, you'd also suffer from crypto locker malware. And even the best OS won't save you from hardware disk failure. Or a fire.
You can buy the DVD, paying the MAFIAA and letting them use your money for evil, then you commit a crime by ripping the DVD. Or, you could just obtain a non-DRM copy from captain Anakata. I'd say the latter option is strictly better.
Uhm no, there are Nissan extras that Ford doesn't support either. Calc can do things Excel can't do, and for many things both are capable of, they're done in different ways.
If Excel can do something that Calc can't, then -- by definition -- Calc is broken.
That'd be true only if Excel got to set the standard. At present, a subsequent version of Excel often fails at compatibility with the previous version, too.
If you're going to troll, could you please at least say something semi-believable? As the penance, please start two VMs, one with systemd one with sysvinit and compare memory usage.
A safer option: firewall out any known Facebook IP ranges. Block any of their domains at DNS level. Use an extension like Request Policy to weed out other trackers you may not know are owned by Facebook.
Jessie still has full 4 years of support on it, so you have plenty of time to upgrade, assuming these machines survive that long.
Crappy little processors, but fine for iptables, QOS and traffic/intrusion monitoring.
For these uses, I'd recommend any random cheap ARM SoC. These can be bought for 1-2 months worth of electricity bill for that 586, and most of newer ones can do gigabit Ethernet that I don't think you could get for 586.
a modern linux distro with systemd is worthless on it, so debian is already automatically out
While systemd is, sadly, the default, Debian does support two saner rc systems: sysv-rc and openrc. And those run just fine on 64MB RAM on i386, or less on certain other archs (s390x needs 20MB, powerpc and mipsel 32MB, etc).
It should rather be downgraded to a second or third tier platform.
That'd be possible if i386 variants were implemented as separate architectures, like it's been done with 32-bit ARM: arm armel armhf arm64ilp32. Besides getting ABI improvements that make use of new hardware, you can keep previous ones without slowing down everyone else. In the meantime, i386 uses an abysmal ancient ABI, changing only the requirement for minimal instruction set, breaking the "arch designation gnu triplet" bijection everyone else keeps.
In theory, you can have a separate repository rebuilt against a lower -march like Raspbian did, but looking at all confusion and incompatibility with external repositories that plagued Raspbian, no one wants that can of worms.
That's why the 586 variant didn't find a home in -ports AKA "second class architectures", like m68k, alpha or hppa.
You can force yourself to lose weight. You see, on uncle Adolf's diet in Auschwitz no one was fat. The prisoners' desire to eat was unchanged.
It's possible to invent less drastic external methods of regulating food intake. Existing ones like stomach ligation are pretty crude, but we can invent better.
Of course, you'd also want to provide enough non-calorie nutrition, but that's markedly easier to do than in a concentration camp.
Except in the US you have a lying {b,w}itch that's quite certain to be the next president, and she's hell-bent on making this mandatory even if the tech doesn't work -- especially if it doesn't work, as long as it fails the "gun doesn't fire" way.
Yeah, it's not good with Windows font rendering -- but with FreeType it's the bestest font ever. Which, considering which platforms use FreeType, is a bit unfortunate for Microsoft.
Hey, their Microsoft 2.0a mice were awesome (in the days of ball mice). Also Consolas, a font they bought, is the best programming font I know -- even if you need FreeType instead of whatever Windows uses for rendering to make it look good.
If the tech -- and the software company you patronize -- are so incompetent to not know how to do updates without inconveniencing the users, that's not the user's fault.
I can get headphones, not good ones mind you, but still headphones, for $3-10
That's more than an order of magnitude off. You can get earbud-style ones for 1PLN ($0.25) retail. Obviously, the quality isn't exactly stellar (to put it mildly) but some people still buy them[1]. Now go add a $1 chip to that $0.25 headphone, for no gain at all, and see if it's such a good idea.
[1]. Still an overkill for the quality of "music" they listen to, but I digress.

Something like this?
Only experimental ones, but here.
The "Insider Preview" that was free is no more. Already activated installations keep working, but you can't install new ones.

I'm a person of color. Pale pinkish-beige is a color.
you actually get laid
But why would you need multi-hour capacity for a 15 seconds event?
'Ere you go.

Car analogy: if you're buying a Nissan, why would installing Ford extras be your primary concern?

We got used to choosing between two evils. But this election doesn't even have a lesser one.
The basic problem is that as it stands there is no way to tell if what one detects is random noise or a message.
Do you mean the communication or the article?

I wouldn't use non-Windows MS stuff
Hey, their Microsoft 2.0a mice were awesome (in the days of ball mice). Also Consolas, a font they bought, is the best programming font I know -- even if you need FreeType instead of whatever Windows uses for rendering to make it look good.
All the rest of their products, though...
You mean, Second Life has a lower bound on user IQ too? Now that's something new. It's hardly above Facebook!
