If you want real neutrality then everyone gets a bandwidth meter and they pay by the byte, just like electricity.
ISPs have always been free to offer this kind of system. Predictable billing is just more popular. (Most electric companies provide budget billing for the same purpose.)
just like electricity
So regulated like a utility? Because infrastructural companies tend to have little or no competition in an area due to physical restrictions or other regulations?
No, he's talking about the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) where you can run several Linux distros, unmodified and without virtualization, on top of the NT kernel. No bootloader modification required.
The proper way, in my opinion, of admitting the win8 mistake would have been to port forward as much UI/features of 7 as possible
Which is exactly what they did. In Windows 8.1 they brought back the Start button and let the taskbar stay always on-screen. In Windows 10 they switched back to the Start Menu and brought back Aero in the form of a translucent taskbar plus acrylic effects.
Metro has also been nixed. Fluent isn't a complete reversal but it fixes many of the problems with metro.
give people a relatively seamless transition
rather than trying to hobble it with progressively less useful update regimens
Which is it? Smooth, progressive upgrades that happen twice a year or huge jarring upgrades that occur every 3-5 years?
In context it would mean docking against any edge of the screen, docking against any existing docked window, splitting an existing docked window, or adding a tab to an existing docked window.
I like it in VS, and I think I would really like it for Windows in general, but I'd have to see. Probably wouldn't work well for apps that have a max width/height.
As a result, you'd just about have to curse me out and throw my food at me to get anything less than a perfect rating.
A big problem with any numeric survey is that we don't give the same rating for the same performance. My default rating is 3 out of 5 for "average". Your default is a perfect 5 for "I hope you don't lose your job". The next guy might default to 4, or even 1 for "you have to earn it".
Surveys that are tied to wages or job retention should be binary and allow for comments. "Were you satisfied with your server?" "If no, please explain." That's enough.
But I still can't sell to anyone who lives in houses you've built across the whole country. Since you built 1/5 of all the houses, that limits my income quite a bit.
And worse, you get to decide what meets your guidelines after I've invested all the work. I built a company to sell bicycles, which do not appear to violate any guideline you provided, then I invested all the R&D and development effort and even worked with you the whole time to make sure everything is legit. But then when the bikes are supposed to go up for sale, you decide "Nah, you can't sell those." You don't say why. A few months later you open up a bicycle division.
Your analogy doesn't compare. It even fails to address the topic at hand, that Apple has exclusive rights to sell apps to anyone using their platform.
So no, I'm not free to set up my own lawn sale. I am required to go through you since you are the builder of my house. You are one of just a handful of property sellers in the country, and I'd have to move far, away from my family and friends, to use another seller. But most of those guys are fairly strict too. None of this resembles a market that benefits from real competition.
people who own and operate successful businesses aren't evil villains that should be torn down through taxes in order to subsidize (rather than fix) the problems that plague the cities in which they operate
This is important. Societal issues which are caused by society should be fixed by society... not businesses.
How does society pay to fix something? Taxes.
So the point isn't that taxes are the problem, it's who bears the tax burden. The progressive structure of income tax places the highest burden of funding social programs on those who have benefited the most from their place in society. Business taxes don't just get passed to the rich owners and management, but also to the low-wage employees and low-income consumers.
Depends on compatibility. Like phones, I don't buy one every year but it doesn't bother me that they release new ones that often.
My opinion: a game should be playable on any console released within 6 years (prior or after the game's release date). And it should work on any console released while the game is still being sold "new" or still collecting in-game purchases.
Actually Apple is doing pretty much exactly what Windows 8 did, since WinRT was a set of universal APIs with targeted compilation. There was no emulation involved.
Sure it sucked, but it's hardly fair to compare Apple's 2019 vaporware with an OS Microsoft released back in 2012.
Wouldn't make sense with GitHub. Everyone would just transfer their content to another open source repository.
All MS would have to show for their $2 billion is an insignificant blip of disruption in open source, and a huge loss in trust they are starting to build up with that community.
My two toddlers also use Youtube more than Facebook.
People aren't "choosing" one of these over the other. Youtube isn't supplanting Facebook. The factors that make people choose which social network they use and which streaming video service they use are very different.

Or maybe the company does meet expectations, because they don't treat their customers like shit.
Ah, I see. You like net neutrality. You just think it should be charged by usage.
I'm failing to see your real argument since ISPs can charge by usage, and nothing about net neutrality changed that.

Yes, yes, yes... I totally agree with this.
Feel free to ask Microsoft to build the opposite of WSL, so that Windows can run on top of a Linux kernel. I'd use it.
Then go full Linux. This option is for those who don't want to give up Windows.

You must have hated when web browsers added tabs.
Maybe you should read it again.

I would rather not be on the same road as this device, thanks.

In this case, Apple acts evil when it bans an app from its store because it competes with first-party apps.

The middleman (government) is cut out of the deal.
Considering they were never part of the deal, I can safely and respectfully say, "Da fuk you talkin' bout?"
Apple’s developers aren’t perfect
No no no... that's not how it works. Apple developers definitely are perfect, and everything they "fix" is really just better perfection.
2004 called to let you know that Macs can run Windows now.

Wrong OS.

I know... I complain all the time about not having a beach at my house, and nobody listens. It's so unfair.
