Well, after all this is closed source software with strong financial backing and lots of paying customers, so things like this are usually quickly addressed.
You really don't need it. In fact as webdesign work a huge amount of production should be done in Inkscape. Even if you need to create/edit a raster image GIMP is fine. Students don't need Photoshop. Hell you can do most work in mspaint.
If the students move on to various gigs and workplaces, they might be in trouble if they don't know Photoshop.
Automated kiosks, digital temperature controls, augmented reality walls and even the ability to control things using an Apple Watch or smartphone are just some of the innovations used.
Cool story. Now, do basic ventilation, heating, mold prevention and soundproofing work properly?
This is just like making fancy top level domain names like "fish" or calling security vulnerabilities "Shellshock". A professional engineering standard is ruined with cute hipster stuff.
Why would the same thing be happening with allergies? I would think that it's a bit more deterministic to test for allergies than for vague mental issues.
Why build one... when you can build two for twice the price!?
Americans seem to have some kind of habit doing that. Often when I go to Amazon to check some reviews, for example for a computer or a portable heater, there's always comments like "great product, have to grab a couple of more". It certainly is not always obvious to me why the reviewer would need the extra units.
That suits me very well. Have fun wasting your time. I'm sure that getting a crusty monochrome cartoon called "Steamboat Willie" in public domain will be very satisfying and well worth the effort. So long, suckers!:D
The copyright on old Mickey Mouse cartoons, the copyright on the design of the Mickey Mouse character, etc. should expire because copyright laws are meant to encourage the production of new works, and not to let Disney executives sit on their ass while earning an income from something a dead animator made almost a hundred years ago.
I don't see anything terribly wrong in that. There are more important battles to fight.
The reason that the listeners could not hear a difference is not because the cables did not differ in quality, but because Ethernet is digital and has the capabilities of error correction and retransmit. The chip might have extra signal processing as well, to do noise reduction for example. In the test, these kind of characteristics were enough to fully compensate for the flaws of the crusty cable.
There's still many scenarios in which you can benefit from better EMI shielding and conductivity, even when talking about a digital application.
Nice to see vendors working together to improve Linux.
Well, Samsung had some SSDs to sell. It's part of the open source philosophy: you scratch your own itch, and everyone benefits.
Still, the problem is that we don't arrive at a well-rounded result. Fixing some things here and there is not deep QA. After stories like this I always get cold chills imagining what else broken is there.
Classic tip from Thomas Jefferson: "Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances."

This is actually a big deficiency for Linux. All of the big desktops (GNOME, KDE, Unity) are really choppy and laggy.
Linux runs BEST on laptops these days
Linux runs like complete garbage on laptops these days.
Go through this checklist. I'm sure you have experienced problems in many of these areas:
- power management
- suspend
- hibernate
- OEM hotkeys
- audio pin mapping
- automatic fan control
- brightness adjustment
- touchpad functionality
- WiFi
- graphics switching
- component hotswapping

As for starting up, libre office writer seems to start about as fast as word 2010, which is a massive pile of shit.
Massive pile of shit? Word 2010 usually starts in 2 seconds.
What kind of spying stuff?
Ask those guys who buy 32GB RAM for a gaming or video editing machine... if some people have extra money, they will buy the bigger numbers.
That's exactly the attitude I was talking about. "Hey, I might need a couple of more at home, why not one for office as well, and some more as gifts."

Disney invented Mickey and still actively uses the character in the company's productions. It's fair that Disney retains copyright to Mickey Mouse.
There's buffering which avoids that problem.

If you know what to look for, that is.
Care to give examples of when a company which spends the GDP of a small country on R&D has ever overhyped technology or not delivered a product?
Sure. How about the Archival Disc?
Overhyped technology that will never ship as a part of real product.
Windows doesn't yet support queued TRIM, it still uses the legacy serial TRIM.
Queued TRIM is serial as well... :) Everything is serial in the SATA bus.
With "serial TRIM" you probably mean "blocking TRIM" (it requires other operations to be halted and command queue flushed before it can be performed).
In a perfect world
We don't live in such a world. If we want our computers to work properly today, these workarounds have to be taken into account.
It's boring.

Umm, you don't seem to act any smarter yourself.
