But digital signals will either give you an error or they won't - they either work or they don't.
Not completely accurate. There is an area where the cable works but is so crusty that huge amounts of error correction is needed. Then it occasionally goes over the edge and there are random dropouts. If the situation gets even worse, ultimately the signal goes beyond repair and then you get nothing.
If you get zero errors with a 6' crappy oxidized cable then it is objectively and subjectively just as good as the 6' oxygen free magic gold-plated cable.
Sure, but generally there is a higher chance to get more errors with an oxidized cable. A nice and clean high-quality cable has more headroom. Even digital signal is ultimately transported in physical analog world and thus the cable is prone to external factors such as corrosion and radio interference.
It provides an alternative to the traditional monolithic UNIX kernel architecture by replacing it with a multiserver microkernel. Hurd is actually pretty interesting and useful project in my opinion. They just need much more developers if they want to actually go to the moon.
There's no need to artificially truncate filename extensions to 3 letters anymore. Just call it ".brotli" and call it a day. Adobe Premiere professionals deal with ".prproj" every day.
Well, installing a Debian package allows it to run a script that can execute arbitrary commands with superuser privileges. Pretty simple to nuke a system by just giving someone a hot_chicks_card_game.deb.
I haven't applied any patches since I learned they're adding their spyware to Win 8.1 updates. Makes me nervous, but I'd rather trust my habits and firewall than Microsoft.
Sounds ridiculous. Why not just switch to Linux to Mac at that point?
Why ? At normal viewing distance I can't see the pixels on my 28" 4K monitors.
Because it happens to be possible, and people love big numbers. Hardly many need 32 GB RAM either, but there are suckers that build gaming machines with 32 GB.

It does not sound that incredible. Linux often goes unresponsive under heavy system load or swapping.
The Ribbon interface is basically not customizable.
Except that it is fully customizable.
Seriously: dear web designer: if your page/ad/whatever is Javascript-o nly, I won't see it. Period.
That approaches Stallman-level impracticality.
Same here in Finland...some days of last month felt almost summery.
It's not a typo. They reviewed October 2015 and made a prediction for October 2016.
That should be enough for many entry level systems, and even some light gaming, well with the right graphics card...
NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti is the perfect match.
Freely scaling everything is still pretty crusty in most operating systems, so just get a display with a low DPI.
What comes to bright backgrounds, lower the brightness of your display and make sure that the surrounding room lighting is adequate.
Open source is often garbage quality as well.
The point is that they still are not real cores.
AMD has been doing this for a long time. They always hide the truth and try real hard to count HT cores as real ones in their marketing.
Then can you show an example of some past Slashdot article and its comments that you saw being high quality?
I'm pretty sure most ROMs are Flash-based these days.

Yeah, whatever, man.
That sentence certainly sounds like a grudge.
Why do you still hold a grudge to them? The versions that you mention are ancient.
As far as I know, the goals of Hurd are more than just to be a teaching tool, like MINIX is.

Making the critical security infrastructure for the internet closed source would be insane.
All of the Cisco networking gear runs on closed source software.

Huh? That's pretty interesting. I wonder how much testing Microsoft did over slow Internet links.
Indeed. It cracked me up when I read "A spokeswoman declined to describe how the company tracks uptake". They have like million methods available.
