Nobody will ever know if your suggestions would have led to a better situation or to a total nightmare. Unless you find a way to run parallel universes to compare the actual outcome of forks in the road, your "told you so" is worth nothing, it just makes you look shortsighted and petty.
Taking credit for "good decisions" that were not taken is like being proud of your daughter's Nobel Prize before you even fucked her mom for the first time.
I love paper-based notes. There's no way to search or aggregate them so it's easy to slow down FOIA requests. Also with paper it's easier to bury evidence.
Complex is certainly a continuation of our media strategy, which is focused on disruption that is occurring in digital media and content distribution, and involves building a portfolio of the emerging digital brands of the future for the millennial and Gen-Z audience
Days like this I feel like the Amish are onto something
1) forking github repos has long stopped being something that requires deep technical skills, it's basically the modern Download.com
2) Apple products are supposed to be designed for regular people and Apple ecosystem is supposed to be closed so they can control quality. Fail and fail.
Liberals are pro-democracy as long as the candidates are liberals. Otherwise anything goes.
What would happen if a moron was to disrupt a Clinton or Sanders event? Front page of New York Times, outraged panels on Bill Maher, full mayhem. But disrupt Trump events or try to get Facebook to "do something" to prevent him from being elected and you are a hero.
Trump is not the nazis. Those people who are willing to do anything to silence him are.
On the other hand, there are products that people want, but either want immediately or are moderately ashamed of buying. For those purchases, vending machines offer the anonymity and speed to meet both motives.
It's like buying weird sex toys or small condoms. Do you prefer doing it in person, paying cash but having to face a person, or order online and attach that purchase to your credit card statement.
Nobody argued with Linux. But please tell me the last time you've seen a MIPS or SPARC server in a modern data center with your own eyes, as opposed to, say, x86 ones.
Every time, they are called Cisco switches, running Linux on MIPS.
You shoud go fix Wikipedia and tell them that Cisco IOS is Linux. That may surprise a few people, like Cisco or Linux people.
Windows used to run on MIPS, PowerPC and many others, but Microsoft gave up on supporting those 15 years ago.
Yes and that worked out really well for them when it came to dominating the ARM-based smartphone and tablet market.
What tablet market? You mean the nosediving iPad that loses steam year after year compared to the Surface Pro, which sees a 29% annual increase since Microsoft dropped ARM and switched to x64?

Outside of academia or research (which is a tiny market in the ocean of servers) that just doesn't happen.
Windows used to run on MIPS, PowerPC and many others, but Microsoft gave up on supporting those 15 years ago. Do you now why? Because nobody fucking cares. How the fuck can the fact that Windows no longer runs on MIPS prevent Microsoft from "competing" with Linux? You'll tell me that the 8 organizations who bought MIPS or SPARC servers this year decided to use Debian for their x86 mail servers specifically because they figure they'd maybe need to move things around? Or maybe they plan on using the machines where they run their weather or boson collision simulations as an extra node in their Drupal cluster so the social committee's intranet site has better fault tolerance?
Fucking stupid.
See, cpu architecture portability is the kind of edge case that only serves for mental masturbation and has no practical impact on reality. If you want to promote Linux, do everyone a favor and don't bring up this point again. There's plenty of convincing reasons why Linux is superior to Windows without bringing out laughable scenarios like yours.
They can't compete because Windows is PITA to move from x86 to other architectures and because Windows is expensive to run (it is inefficient - yes it is better than ever before but it is still far behind).
Windows runs out of the box with a fairly good driver coverage of all components and peripherals on pretty much any mainstream computer. Call it what you want but that's pretty impressive. Of course they blackmail OEMs and shove tons of useless drivers in there but still.
Give me a mystery server and no internet access, and I'd bet a dollar that besides OpenSuse there's only Windows that will install properly on that thing. Anything else will require a driver treasure hunt.
Listen dude, peddle your shallow Unix expertise somewhere else because it's clearly not backed by the most basic common sense.
There's no fucking reason to use a sudo-intensive Debian-based distro and rip out the sudo bullshit out of it. That'd be like installing yum on it and only looking for rpm. Or buying a diesel car and making it work with fuel. Unless you're a hobbyist (or masochist) there's just no point.
And if you think that experienced people don't RTFM then you're not one of them.
The *untu's began as third world linux and Redhat/Fedora have sucked since Redhat 8.
I guess you mean the old Red Hat because RHEL is currently at 7.
For a desktop you should give Fedora another try. There's been huge improvements over the years. Every time I get a new laptop I try Ubuntu, I'm thrilled for 10 minutes then it goes down in flames when I try to install another desktop environment so I get annoyed and I end up going back to Fedora (with Cinnamon).
Also I'm really not into all that sudo bullshit that comes from Debian. That's my fucking machine if I want to be root and break everything that's my right I don't need a nanny to slap me on the wrist and force me to prefix dangerous commands with sudo. This is worst than Windows UAC that gets in your face when you want to do something insanely dangerous like install Notepad++.

Is that an Obama joke? I like it!
Obama, Al Gore... same same. People who got a Nobel prize for not being George W Bush.

Someone call 911,that person ^^^ is having a stroke
Please tell me I can still show off the Apple logo to everyone in the coffee shop.
Only if t's the latest model otherwise it's worst than having a copy of Mein Kampf with highlighted sections and multiple bookmarks.
"Fail and fail" is generally considered to be uncomplimentary. Just FYI.
And you consider that bashing? Have you been raised by hippies?
Try again but this time don't buy that smart whiteboard in the discount bin at Walmart.
Good ones are awesome. If you switch color they keep track of layers.
But hey, let's bash Apple huh ?
There has been no Apple bashing in this thread. Not getting on one's knees to worship Apple is not the same as bashing Apple.
You remind me of those people who say they've been cyber-bullied because nobody "Liked" a comment they posted.
I love paper-based notes. There's no way to search or aggregate them so it's easy to slow down FOIA requests. Also with paper it's easier to bury evidence.
You need one of those smart whiteboards that can export the doodles. Plus the markers never run out of ink.
That Verizon guy is a champion.

Two points.
1) forking github repos has long stopped being something that requires deep technical skills, it's basically the modern Download.com
2) Apple products are supposed to be designed for regular people and Apple ecosystem is supposed to be closed so they can control quality. Fail and fail.
You are technically correct but SElinux is a real pain in the ass.
This reminds me of the hilarious definition of Level 2 in the CIS benchmark for RHEL:
Level 2: may negatively inhibit the utility or performance of the technology

There comes a point where hackers cause less damage than this kind of "security".
iApologist much?

"sudo bash", my friend. "sudo bash".

Agreed. And they do support everything that's in their repo with fast response time.
Thanks to RHEL I'm getting lazy lately, it's often easier to open a ticket than to STFW to figure things out.
> MS should buy them out not just partner with them
If MS started offering Ubuntu long ago and not just now, they'd be rich by now!
SQL Server on Linux, and now Bash on Windows... MS-Linux is coming.
Here's my conspiracy theory: they annoyed everyone with Metro, then Windows 10, just to pave the way for MS-Linux. Brilliant.
