My daughter loves ScratchJr on my iPad. And also Monument Valley (check it out). She got a quilling set today and searched on YouTube on instruction videos. She's 8 years old. So, yeah, really bad those iPads. You remind me a bit of my mother who at first got a bit upset with me because I was very often behind my ZX Spectrum.
Nowadays? Easy. In 5 years? 10? No idea. I wanted to burn a blu-ray on Linux and it turned out that Ubuntu doesn't support it out-of-the box... (14.10). Probably has also to do that the relationship between the cdrtools (former cdrecord) is not good to put it nice. But maybe more with optical media being on a steep decline? Anyway, Burn on OS X saved the day.
As a very recent rarely OS X user it was the first thing I thought about. Apple does publish short cuts ( https://support.apple.com/kb/P... ), a simple Google is enough.
Like mentioned in another comment, that's Linus' false dichotomy. Just leave the "U fucked up, n00b" out of the message. I assume that people are mature enough to beat them up themselves when needed.
Fun fact, I communicated with aforementioned biologists via email (and later Facebook) before we met IRL [1]. There never has been any need for calling each other rude names. On the contrary, most of them are so extremely polite that now and then I feel uncomfortable. I can't even call myself an amateur arachnologist yet they have always treated me with respect, and replied to my questions without all the "U n00b" and "U 1user" attitude I constantly see in IT.
I am a member of several Facebook groups (on arachnids, on orchids, etc.) and most of the time the discussions are friendly and polite. The total amount of abrasive attitude one can find in the comments to a single Slashdot posts between people, even excluding ACs, I haven't seen in all those groups together for years. Oh, and there are plenty of females in those groups. Maybe that's no coincidence?
I think it's a shame. But like I wrote, I just avoid that crowd. I really have better things to do in my life. "Funny" that your first assumption is that I am the fuckwad, though.
Ah, the true Scotsman and all that. I do enjoy The Big Bang Theory and I dislike Mr. Robot. Also, I only liked Star Trek when I was a little kid. Ditto for Dr. Who.
I don't, I prefer "I don't appreciate your behaviour". Years ago I left Usenet because I noticed that the abrasive attitude was very easy to pick up (I certainly have played my ugly part) and in most IT related groups. It's also the reason why I don't contribute to any open source project. No idea if it's IT specific because I have friends who are biologists and I don't see that attitude between them. Maybe I don't know them well enough, I only see them a few days now and then during field trips. But each time it's like a fresh breath of air compared to the IT attitude.
Slashdot Mirror
He never did.
Maybe look up quilling set...
Reminds me of the time when someone described me on Usenet as a "height challenged bald old man with glasses" :-)
Look up quilling and you'll see we agree. I also (still) take notes with pen and paper.

Yup, it's a good test, no? You can also just type: safari shortcuts

Command + click opens the link in a new tab. At least on the version of Safari I use.
Uhm, yes, that compilation is used by the file *nix command.
Nope, in what I wrote 'government' occurred only once ;-)
Been living here for nearly 12 years and never paid any protection money.
s/government/people in power/
Isn't that the same in each and every country?
The real WTF is in the comments section (visible HTML tagsoup). Something like stones and houses of glass ;-)
W h y d o y o u k e e p p o s t i n g i n s u c h a n a n n o y i n g s t y l e ?
Nah, I have just different interests.
But do you need it? Do you need people to tell you you've fucked up?

[1] Another fun fact, I met my wife online, also.

Maybe you appreciate being called a fuckwad by other men, but I don't.
