I think that falls on the individual implementation of the phone. If my understanding is correct the operating system does support being at least that secure, but that doesn't mean that the version of Android that actually ships is,or that the phones hardware supports it either. The downside to the fragmented Android community - there are few baselines.
Someone isn't paying attention at all. First, this is pure Linux. You don't get to say GNU/Linux when the talk is about the kernel itself. Second, there are short term support kernels and long term support kernels. The STS kernels are for the users that don't care about support (aka your average basement dweller). The LTS kernels get supported for years to come, and are what the enterprises are going to be using.
Up until a couple of years (2011 I think?) ago SGI was still releasing security updates for IRIX 6.5. Are you still running old software on there, using nekoware, or compiling software yourself on it?
Actually, there isn't a good why. For a lot of solutions there are plenty of Microsoft competitors that provide products that are at least as good as the Microsoft solution.
That would only apply to future versions of ZFS though. Hence why we have projects like OpenIndiana that are based off of the now closed Solaris source from when it was all CDDL (from SXCE pre-Solaris 11)
While that is the easy answer - saying that G-d did it, Genesis is a little light on details there, and also has more then one creation story in it....
I'm inclined to agree with you - he's making something out of nothing. However, I do like having a default file name (especially if it's smart enough to see if that file already exists and create a new name (say output1.pdf) as not to overwrite the first file). As far as keystrokes go on that, you are adding an extra step in there - it is not necessary to hit delete, you can start typing and it will overwrite highlighted text. Or you can double click the word and start typing (if you are mouse inclined instead. Oh, options for everyone!).
I've got a OCZ Vertex 2 and an Agility 3 that have shown no issues for their life (the Agility has been in my desktop its whole life (3 years IIRC) and the Vertex was the OS drive for a file server for two years prior to it coming to me. I replaced the Vertex with an Intel SSD because I needed to expand, and the Intel was on an incredible sale). There again, I have yet to have any SSD that I've purchased fail (out of Intel, OCZ, and recently added a PNY to my collection).
You're absolutely right! Why, my Microsoft Office install automatically upgraded itself when 2016 came out, as did Matlab, and Adobe Photoshop. Oh wait....
I try to buy AMD for that reason too - I dread to see a market without them. My guest desktop at home is running an AMD FX 8120 (with a GTX 580, SSD, and 16GB RAM) and it's good enough for when people use it. Other times it just runs BOINC.
Mustangs. 88 Mustang LX with a 2.3L I4 and 99 Mustang with a 3.8L V6. While I question the V6 sometimes, both cars have more then 260K miles on them at this point, and that 2.3L is still going strong (I've put a couple of transmissions in it though).
The Amazon search function is easily disabled or removed from the system. Or if you are using a DE other then Unity, isn't there to begin with.
It is my understanding (not positive on the way apt behaves, but yum/dnf works this way) that since apt-get update/upgrade has no way to report back to Canonical since it's just an HTTP/FTP request to a random mirror, which only occurs when you tell it to run anyway. Plus, Microsoft is doing much more then just checking for updates (it checks and installs at will in Windows 10, you can not disable it in Home/Pro versions).
In summary - it's not so similar after all in scope or in your ability to control it.
I think see your problem - GNOME 3 desktops (Unity, GNOME Shell) require 3D acceleration for rendering, and I am pretty sure the FX 5200 is no longer supported. A non-accelerated DE/WM should do fine for you (and disable GPU acceleration in Firefox)
Oh goodness. I still have a PCMCIA MPEG co-processor in my desktop drawer from my first laptop (a Satellite Pro 435CDS, 32MB RAM, Pentium I, etc. Dual booted Windows 98 and Red Hat 6.1. Good times - that thing probably could have taken a bullet for me).
I do not agree - Apple used to be price competitive. A Dell Precision is a very different beast then a MacBook Pro (Quadro and Firepro Graphics, multiple storage device support, you can easily work on the hardware, current generation of Mobile Precisions has Xeons and ECC RAM, etc)

The NIC name change predates systemd by quite a bit and is unrelated - that change happened in udev IIRC.

And when did Apple advertise that?
Can I haz SELinux + grsecurity in all major distributions by default plz.
Red Hat and Fedora based distributions ship with SELinux set to enforcing by default, so most corporate/government installs should be convered.

Except if you read the Windows security bulletins that come out every month you'd see that this happens on Microsoft platforms too.
Oh, heaven forbid that people actually pay attention to what they are doing on a computer.
You could still get IRIX from SGI as of two years ago. Don't know if you still can. (I'm running an Octane here as a server....)

Except StarCraft has always been one of those Mac friendly games (I know I played it on System 7)! We're in trouble!

The new Dells (that replace the M4800) use the chicklet keyboards too. I'm going to be complaining to my Dell rep when I speak to her tomorrow :(

Well, I'm pretty sure that my Fords (an '88 and a '99) aren't doing anything of the sort.

According to the README, this still supports SGI IRIX! I'm going to fire up my Octane and give it a test run!
