you just do what they say as if they were your employer paying you
Considering that most of the kernel development these days (93% of commits, averaged annually, I believe, or a conservative estimate of 80% from the Linux Foundation) is done at the instruction of the employer that is paying the developers, and that company is aware of the rules for getting code upstreamed, then, by proxy, Linux and co. ARE their employer, in a way, since said employee is being paid to write code and do so to the specifications that Linux and co. lay out.
Hell, even a $200-$300 Walmart special can play 70-80% of Windows 10 compatible games - actually even more if you get a 32-bit machine, since 32-bit Windows 10 can still run the majority of 16-bit Windows and DOS titles from the 90s. Boom, a machine that can play more games than the past two generations of consoles combined. Seriously, it's as easy as go to store, pick PC, swipe card, go home, open box, turn it on. If that's still too hard for you, stick to board games, or playing with a stick.
There are plenty of quality games going back over the past 25 years.that'll run respectably decent on a modern el cheapo machine, including some modern-day indie titles, and yesterday's AAA greats. I was given an Acer Aspire One AOA150 in 2009 - a rather pathetically weak netbook, even for it's own time. Do you know how many months of my life were happily wasted playing games that ran smoothly on that thing? People will complain about anything.
Just get a recent US$400-$500 prefab system. Congratulations, you now have a perfectly fine gaming machine that can play most modern games with at least the visual quality of the current generation of consoles (which run at whatever the lowest settings the game allows for.) The only thing you really need to look for is to make sure it has AMD or NVIDIA graphics, and not Intel. So you might lose out of a new bleeding-edge titles, big deal, it still proves this rubbish article to be written by myopic idiots.
If taxation is not theft, then all any group of robbers has to do is declare themselves a government and their forced collection of monies are then justified.
I know that Lowe's uses Linux on the desktop. Hell, the computer kiosk in the paint section usually has a not-too-well hidden keyboard nearby - press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and watch X close up, only to be quickly reopened to relaunch the Adobe Flash-based kiosk animation.
I've interviewed at Lowe's several times at different stores (for menial retail positions), and each time I made a point of asking the managers how many Windows machines they had on-site. The answer has never been more than "two".
Where can I get more information about the overall boot process and architecture of Windows? A lot of it seems obscure - I only recently learned that ntoskrnl.exe also is the Windows equivalent to ld.so as well as being the kernel. I used to think it was NTDLL.DLL because newly-created processes would have their process image path set to %SystemRoot%\system32\NTDLL.DLL before shifting to the actual program being loaded.
At least USB works on my Windows box. What a fucking fag this guy.
USB Passthrough for running Windows in a VM. It's flaky as hell when doing e.g. firmware updates of connected embedded devices (especially, as noted, when the connected device has it's PID:VID change during the firmware flash.)
Go read the full post next time before opening your keyboard and letting your shit-for-brains leak out of your mouth.
I don't care what you say. Linux VM -> Windows Host, Windows VM -> Windows Host, Windows VM -> Linux Host, Linux VM -> Linux Host, you'll always have trouble with USB Passthrough for a certain subset of tasks.
I haven't lived in Tampa in nearly three years, just goes to show how poor your ability to research is.
There is a good chance, mind you, that I might just live "forever". I honestly don't think connectome mapping is going to take three hundred years to come about. I might be wrong, but there were those in the 1980s that insisted that the level of computer communications we have today wouldn't happen until around 2150.
And it's worth noting that no one who is 25 thinks they will "live forever", outside of the possibility of future technological development, and even that's seen as a very long shot in the dark. I fear you may be projecting your own psychological faults from when you were that age upon me because you have no real arguments to make.
However, at least I have the balls to show my face, Anonymous Coward. If I were a basement denizen, wouldn't I want to hide myself?
No, a heartless asshole would keep themselves alive. A truly caring person would end both their own suffering and the suffering of their family (and if you think your family isn't hurting to see you basically reduced to nothing, you're even less empathic than you imply me to be. They aren't happy to see you. They're saddened.)
Exactly! And I'm being personally attacked by ACs because I see this and they do not. Their resistance to such an idea almost seems... Like the cognitive dissonance you get when telling a brainwashed person a factoid that conflicts with their deeply-held personal beliefs (especially the ones they were brainwashed into having). Seriously, no shit we all get old. But if you can't take care of yourself, it's time to go. Aside from the selfish emotional desires of your family, and possibly yourself, there's no reason to keep on going. You've had yours, now it's time to give way to the next generation.
And when my faculties go - assuming I don't die first - that's what euthanasia is for. To stay alive beyond that point is to only to be a burden upon others, you stupid dipshit.

But then I might spend precious time reading mindless drivel, and who wants to do that?
You can, actually, but only for very short bursts, and then you must idle for quite a while to charge back up.
Get a bloody Android.
And then anus writes a letter....

My religious freedoms were curtailed when the government deemed it illegal to sell my daugter's hand in marriage to her rapist, to kill gays, to kill those with tattoos, or those that eat shellfish, or those who decide to switch religions, or engaged-to-be-married virgins that get raped within the city limits, or anyone that works on Sunday or forcibly deport most of the Deep South to Mexico, I could go on and on about how "religious freedom" has been so severely curtailed that I cannot carry out the actions demanded by God for these heinous crimes, and will surely burn in hell forever for allowing these acts to go unpunished.
Because of all the idiots that use their phones while driving.
Where is this social contract that I never explicitly signed?

No treble.
Yes, you can most certainly mount ext4 under Minix, just use ext4fuse since Minix 3 now supports FUSE.
Hell, Minix 3 already sports some binary compatibility with NetBSD...

I'm guessing one is Phoronix, but link me the rest, please?

So submit a false positive.

As long as you adequately highlight the faults, then yeah, it's ethical.

Wonderful, I only have to pay 150% above market rates for my company health insurance. :)
