You find life unbearable on a Zenbook running Windows 8.1, and you say Ubuntu Jr makes things easier? Unlikely.
What obviously happened is that you got your panties in a bunch when you saw that metro screen and weird start button, and you couldn't be bothered to spend 5 minutes to read or watch a Windows 8.1 tutorial to learn about all the nice features. Instead you blamed Microsoft and went back to your zone of comfort.
It's ok to prefer Linux; I use Fedora on my desktop. But you didn't even give a chance to Windows, so don't come bitching about that O/S and be a drama queen on top of it. Millions of people use Windows on a daily basis on hardware that is a lot worse than your Zenbook and they don't jump from the balcony 20 minutes after powering up their machine for the first time. It's people like you that make Linux users look like petulant idiots.
Netra (SparcStation, Ultra, etc.) among others had this "feature". You were expected to change it if you needed those adapters to work on the same network, and of course this had to be done with the shitty LOM connection, which itself was a huge pain in the ass.
I'd rather take a job at Best Buy running Windows Update and antivirus scans on cheap HP laptops all day than touch another Solaris machine.
Solaris networking is the worst of the worst. Servers ship with the same MAC address on all network adapters, and they get confused by port speed autonegotiation. Those are problems that even Windows Me didn't have.
It's very likely that people would already have the CDN version in their browser cache since a lot of website use that link.
This is a popular claim, but what little real data I've seen says quite the opposite. There are so many different minor versions of a library like jQuery that the chance of any given visitor to your site actually having visited another site using the exact same version from the exact same CDN within the cache window turns out to be pretty low.
There are not that many version of jquery in use, and anyways the odds of that same visitor having your local version on his first visit are ZERO, which is basically the worst case scenario. Given the fact that this is a third-party library that you are unlikely to modify, hosting it on your own servers provides no advantage whatsoever. Just monitor the CDN like you do for your own resources.
There is a performance aspect to consider, however, especially on mobile where the network sucks. It's very likely that people would already have the CDN version in their browser cache since a lot of website use that link. By forcing users to download your version, you are slowing things down for them at the worst possible time - their first visit to your website.
If you have valuable content and a captive audience, fine, but if like most people you are in dire need to attract and retain visitors, it's best to put chances of doing a first good impression on your side. Use the google hosted version and keep an eye on things.
My best friend has been gang-raped (by adults) when she was in middle school. It lasted for 6 hours, and she required extensive medical care after that event, including reconstructive surgery in multiple areas (genitals, colon, dental and facial). For the parts that she recalls, she did not "squeal".
As it happens, one of our common friends is a porn producer that specializes in hardcore stuff. So we have discussed the whole rape fantasy thing extensively over the years.
None of this makes me an expert, but I don't think anyone in this thread has better information on this subject than me.
Given the numerous Android security problems and APPs with hidden data collection issues, I'ld say forget 'Force Touch' as a reason to switch.
If I was a celeb I'd rather have "Android security problems" than The Fappening, As a nobody, the only people likely to steal my naughty pics are Geek Squad employees, and they can do it on IOS or Android so that's no reason to switch.
There's no rape culture at Apple, unless you count the Chinese workers who are poisoned on the iPhone assembly lines for $100 per month, or the idiots in the Apple Store who are paid $100 per day to sell stuff they can't afford themselves to people who don't need it.
Gang-raped schoolgirls don't squeal in real life. In those Japanese videos you've seen, the girls are actresses, and their squealing is actually a fairly sophisticated response that walks a thin line between rape simulation and forbidden fantasies.
And if you think that a random 'private detective' can't sideload shite on you iphone because it's an iphone, I have bad news for you - you're wrong, and it isn't all that hard or expensive.
Actually, yes it is hard. 8.4 has never been jail broken. How would you do your detective stuff on my phone?
Maybe you could ask that to the 4chan people who stole naughty pics of celebs straight from their Apple accounts?
And calling for segregation in the labs based on gender is also sexist.
This story is not people fighting sexism. It's people reaching for the low-hanging fruit of using twitter and facebook to swarm a semi-famous person for a mildly insensitive joke he made.
Where are you, twitter vigilantes, when women are sold as sex slaves in the ISIS kingdom? When Latino girls are shipped by containers to a life of abuse in the Middle East? When Indian women are raped because they are walking on the street without a husband after sundown? When a large number of native prostitutes in America disappear?
You know where you are. You are in line at Starbucks, giving 20 seconds of attention to the latest scandal on your twitter feed while someone is preparing the skinny vanilla latte. So of course you can't find a solution to real problems, but you find it rewarding to join your "voice" to a crow of other misinformed idiots attacking someone who can possibly be shamed.
Why don't you all install a Sudoku or latest Angry bird game instead and give the world a break with your twitter garbage. Keep your shallow opinions to your close circle of friends instead of broadcasting your ignorance and everyone will win.
Anyone who joined that twitter mob to accuse that guy of being sexist should be ashamed of themselves, and immediately join the twitter mob that accuses that woman of faking her credentials.
If she wants to protect the little people in the music industry, she should offer to allow Apple to use her music royalty-free for six months if they pay new artists during the three month free period.
This. Exactly this.
What you describe is basically Taylor Swift (estimated net worth: 200 millions) bankrolling Apple (estimated net worth: 700 billions) because unlike them she cares about poor musicians.
Vocal range may not be the only indication of a talented singer, but someone with a very narrow range doesn't seem to me like a 'top shelf' performer.
On tv shows like The Voice or American Idol there's endless waves of singers with terrific vocal ranges, yet they never make it in the music industry. It is also not uncommon to have backing vocalists that have more vocal range than the front liner, or to have cover bands with better skills than the original band.
Good music is not perfect pitch or crazy skills. It's a mix of various qualities that is very difficult to pinpoint and analyze. That's why labels that put together bands matching the flavor of the week rarely succeed. And that's why computers don't create good music (by themselves).
She is a pop-country singer that comes up on a regular basis with catchy tunes with clean lyrics, and she did not build a career on dressing like a prostitute or releasing sex tapes. Already that makes her quite unique in that industry.
Not everyone likes pop music of course, but in that genre she is definitely top shelf, and her fight against bad music streaming deals is in line with pretty much everything she does. This is not U2 phony or Metallica greedy, this is someone using leveraging her position to help fellow musicians.

OS X's GUI
That one is easy. Just find a 15 years old version of KDE.
Solaris networking is the worst of the worst. Servers ship with the same MAC address on all network adapters, and they get confused by port speed autonegotiation. Those are problems that even Windows Me didn't have.
Can you imagine being the nephew... Having this kind of technical advice on a regular basis, PLUS working at Apple. Se-weet!
For most commands on AIX, ike wget, they managed to remove the useful options. And they still force you to have username of 8 characters max.
If one day there's an International Court of Justice for computers, AIX will be among the first to be on trial.
If you've been away from Windows since before Vista, your opinion is irrelevant. You missed all the fun.
USB connectors also fit neatly in RJ45 ports, and this too can lead to interesting side-effects.

There's no woman in that list! Good ol' boys club still has control over at Dice. Where are the feminazis when we need them?
How about people who need to support browsers other than the latest and greatest?

Yeah they had production problems, but those suicide prevention nets really did the job. Smooth sailing until the next slave uprising.

squealing like gang-raped schoolgirls
Gang-raped schoolgirls don't squeal in real life. In those Japanese videos you've seen, the girls are actresses, and their squealing is actually a fairly sophisticated response that walks a thin line between rape simulation and forbidden fantasies.

I'd love to see a reference for you paper folders anecdote.
There's an summary of this incident in the book "Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist".
If she wants to protect the little people in the music industry, she should offer to allow Apple to use her music royalty-free for six months if they pay new artists during the three month free period.
