Why would I waste my time explaining things to idiot morons?
Knowledge should be passed along, not hoarded. Everyone is at a different place on the learning curve. In practical terms, that means everyone is an idiot moron with respect to someone else - or, in your case, obviously many others.
Yeah I'm thinking not. I've been a Unix sysadmin for over 15 years and I've never worked with a single person who uses Emacs.
I'm a Unix systems programmer and administrator and I routinely use both Emacs and Vi depending on the task. Vi is universally available out of the box and is really good for small, quick things while I prefer Emacs for larger, longer edits and development, especially on complex things with many files.
People get too cranked up over "this vs. that" when it really boils down to using the most appropriate tool for the task - that you're competent with. Emacs is a much more capable and sophisticated tool, but comes with a much higher learning curve. I've been using Emacs (and Vi) since the 1980s, and am more productive on most of my tasks using Emacs. That said, using it to edit a few lines in the hosts file is like trying to kill a mosquito with a sledgehammer.
I'm still using DOS on a P-II w/640k RAM. No problems so far.

You are a complete moron for using OpenMP.
That was very helpful; full of thoughtful reasoning and examples. The level of detail in explaining the rational to avoid OpenMP was, to say the least, above and beyond. You sir or madam have made us proud. Well done.
The GAO estimates that this cost taxpayers around $45 million extra in a single year.
So about $450 million over the last 10 years opposed to how much spent in Afghanistan and Iraq over the same period? How about checking into that? Oh right, that stuff is "off book" and not accounted for - though probably still affects our budget, economy and taxes. The SATCOM bill is chump-change by comparison. While we're looking at blips in the account, why not also cancel Public Radio and NASA - they probably also cost us each a nickel.
Yes, it may be an unnecessary expense that can be avoided by fixing the in-channel SATCOM process but our Government (and specifically Congress) is notoriously penny-wise and pound-foolish.
As someone with a wife, a kid, and a house (my sex life is none of your business), I like to play some computer games. You got a problem with that?
Not at all, unless computer games is higher on your list than: wife, kid...
As someone who was very happily married for 20.5 years until his wife died of a brain tumor in Jan 2006 (just six weeks after diagnosis), I'll just pass along that computer games will always be there for you, the other things in your life may not be - appreciate and enjoy them while you can. I still have the house, but it's not really a home anymore.
DirectX 12. Windows 7 won't have it. And as someone who plays a lot of PC games, DirectX versions matter. A lot.
(a) Move out of parent's basement. (b) Meet a girl, have good sex, (perhaps) get married, (perhaps) have kids, (perhaps) buy a house. DirectX and PC games won't matter that much anymore - unless you're bad at those things in (b).
Do you even code, bro? As any programmer will tell you, building and supporting multi-platform apps is a royal pain in the ass and costly as hell too. Unless you are willing to pay out the nose, it ain't going to happen.
To brag about only one operating system, and one operating system only is mission critical, is exposing a huge vulnerability.
I'm a systems guy, knowing only enough programming to keep from being bullshitted by programmers. And the idea that coding is too hard to do on anything but one platform is just that sort of bullshit.
I would like to add, as a systems programmer and administrator w/30+ years experience, that for most of my career I've worked in and developed for multi-platform environments -- Unix (almost literally all, except AUX and AIX), Linux (Ubuntu, RHEL), Windows (NT, XP, 7, 2003, 2008, 2012) -- and while, yes, it *can* be a pain in the ass I find that ultimately it fosters better results as you have to think more about variations and alternatives. Solving an issue for one platform can help produce better results on others.
Programming is problem solving and critical thinking.
Ah, you are obviously too young to remember the tail end of the carburetor era, when increasingly lean mixtures made dieseling after shutoff a pleasant feature of your every automotive journey, until somebody got the bright idea of putting a solenoid valve in the gas line.
I'm 52 and have replaced those solenoids in my younger years...
Having the car not turn off isn't that serious, though. It will absolutely run out of gas, after a finite time interval.
People have actually died from leaving their key fobs in cars with key-less ignition systems and exiting the vehicle while it was still running. At least one person has been run over and another died from CO poisoning.
I found that info while researching the sad, impending "all cars will have key-less ignition" future I see coming. I despise cars that *require* key-less entry/ignition because fobs are stupid to have carry around in your pocket (especially if you have more than one car), using my $$$ car shouldn't be dependent on a fucking fob and its battery, and just what the fuck is wrong with a key?

How can it be Hillary's fault when the Republicans plan to impeach and remove her from office on Day One?
And when that fails, they'll just say "No" to everything she wants to accomplish without providing any economically-workable and/or morally-acceptable alternatives and blame her for nothing getting done - you know, "the usual".
(Hillary's) view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
And the Republican's view? If they're not rich, tax them; if they keep moving, ignore them; if they stop moving, forget them.
Nope. They will preferentially hire drivers using Jeeps and Humvees that can drive across post-apocalyptic terrain (or that six-wheeled Mercedes thing?).
So you're saying there will be WiFi and cell service in the post-apocalypse to summon Uber rides? Sweet.
Laws protecting an outdated business model are far different that laws that protect individual laborers.
I'm OK with workplace safety laws. I'm not OK with laws that prop up obsolete businesses.
Okay. Since we've been discussing Uber vs. Taxis, don't Taxi companies have to follow stricter rules and have commercial insurance whereas Uber has to ??? Does that make Taxis an "outdated business model" vs. Uber or is it just that Uber is current;y getting away with being less regulated? Not all regulations are bad - like those concerning safety and liability.

My understanding is that restriction is only for systems upgraded from the previous Windows "Home" versions.
