People seem to migrate from iOS to Android and vice versa so I think you're "lock in" is a non-issue. I would almost say that moving between Linux distributions or even upgrading to a more recent distribution of the same vendor is more problematic.
For reducing anger and aggression, the worst possible advice to
give people is to tell them to imagine their provocateur’s
face on a pillow or punching bag as they wallop it, yet this
is precisely what many pop psychologists advise people to
do. If followed, such advice will only make people
angrier and more aggressive.
So you haven't discovered Haskell yet... No idea who modded you insightful but a more realistic view can be read here: http://norvig.com/21-days.html (currently down). Sadly I know and then have to maintain code written by people who seem to think like you. I really don't get it why this myth is still alive.
Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Intel, see: Haskell in industry: https://wiki.haskell.org/Haske... I don't know when you were in school, but if it was in the 90s (like me); the FP landscape has changed quite a bit since then. I did the edX course FP101x Introduction to Functional Programming (98%), which I can highly recommend to get a feel for Haskell.
For those who never heard of Haskell and are looking for an example project written using this language check out Pandoc: http://pandoc.org/. Other examples are Darcs (version control) and xmonad (tiling window manager).
The shrinkage might be just because iPads lasts very long. "Older" models are handed down to family and friends, at least in my experience. My mother is still extremely happy with her iPad 2 (!). Also, I guess some people are waiting for the iPad "Pro" (or however it's going to be called) to be announced in October 2015. So I think the shrinkage is just temporary and sales will pick up later this year.
I've bought twice an Acer notebook and it was twice too often. Now the Dell inspiron I bought 7 years (!) ago is still going strong. Only issue (so far) is that the charger is no longer recognized by the notebook thanks to a known issue by Dell. Sadly Dell refuses to do a thing about it but a charger is cheap.
Our attack, which is
an extension of the last-level cache attacks of Yarom et
al. [23], allows a remote adversary recover information
belonging to other processes, other users and even other
virtual machines running on the same physical host as
the victim web browser. We describe the fundamentals
behind our attack, evaluate its performance using a high
bandwidth covert channel and finally use it to construct a
system-wide mouse/network activity logger.
Gives a better summary "The next version of Chrome will include a new security policy that may make it easier for developers to ensure “HTTPS” websites aren’t undermined by insecure HTTP resources."
My point is that quite some people here, and on similar sites, judge products by their own requirements and it it doesn't meet those they consider it a huge failure. They don't seem to get that the requirements of "normal" people greatly differs from theirs. Each and every time. So when something is predicted a huge failure on Slashdot don't be surprised if it sells millions and millions.
No, I haven't noticed. But I have the feeling that 9 out of 10 books reviewed here are published by Packt. And the other 1 is either O'Reilly or No Starch Press (if I recall correctly). It makes me wonder why this is the case, as this has been going on for several years.
The Packt published books I've seen so far were not that good, and often remind me of those "Unleashed" series of books (remember those), especially "Perl Unleashed":-). Any books that are worth conisidering or is Packt just a no no?

Just grep the (locally) installed modules, there are plenty of occurrences of "ugly hack". Even my own Perl code uses this, but rarely.

The fan noise is a deal breaker for me. At least based on the description.

It's called click bait. It keeps people like you coming to Slashdot and keep the site interesting (yes, this is a compliment).
It needed 2 be said, I guess ;-)
cuz the arm chair expert just said so!
Aargh! Wrong thread, my apologies!
Maybe click the link first? Thank you!

Ah, the kids of these days seem to ENJOY reading plain-text documents, top to bottom with copious examples.... I just don't get it ;-)
