[random natural property on Earth] has the same basic elements [we _think_ since we have no proof other than pictures] of another [planet/moon/asteroid] that humanity will never make it to! Isn't science great?
Worthless tripe. Pale blue dot. All there is, all there was, all there ever will be.
I'd say saturation is the key, as you mention. Every stinking website has an Avengers ad or somesuch. Same with in-stores, mobile ads, etc. In reality, there really aren't all that many comic-book movies, but the ginormous studios spend millions to advertise them, so that's all we see.
Evidently you're not one of the many out there that are embracing the return to Vinyl.
I'm not yet one of them, but man... vinyl on a good phonograph with a good needle and good speakers... it's a different, richer, sound than digital. I think, anyway. Too bad I only ever owned three vinyl albums.
no, no, you've got the libtard narrative wrong. Remember, guns are evil. Everyone who owns a gun hates gays and wants to murder anyone who isn't caucasian. Please, stick to the facts!/s
//With their record, does anyone actually Call the police anymore for real calls anymore?
Right, sure, ok... so the next time you feel like you're in a life-threatening situation, the _last_ thing you'll do is dial 911, no matter what city/state you are in. We have a badass over here.
I'm the one that's retarded, yet you're the one that couldn't see the obvious point of my post, which was that billions of dollars in Fortune 500 companies are spent on Microsoft Windows solutions FOR THE DESKTOP.
And by all means, you CAN use Linux on the desktop, to use all sorts of great applications like.... uhm... well....
GiMP (no, it sucks, poor-mans Photoshop Elements (not even close to Photoshop itself)... just like any other app that professionals use from ACC)... OpenOffice... no, that blows up Excel pivot tables, and pagination and Track Changes doesn't work for Word docs.... Rhythmbox... oh wait, I have Spotify on my Windows box... where's the Linux build for it? Oh, Ubuntu only? Oh, it is no longer maintained since nobody uses it? I suppose I could use the hobbled "web player" and lose lots of features, but who cares? Wine... oh, right, there are Windows apps I still need to run, so let's use this piss-ass kludge of code that supports Word 2007. Neverputt and Nexuiz -- the pinnacle of gaming on Linux, because the Steam app only has 10-year-old windows ports, and laughable linux games, no better than Chromium BSU.
But sure, use what you want, you're on the bleeding edge of tech. I'll just run Ubuntu server as an app, *natively,* on my Windows 10 box thanks to hypervisor and WSL for development work. But again, you're much smarter than anyone outside of your mom's basement, not matter where that basement is located.
Could of sworn we (taxpayers) really helped some of the automakers with a giant infusion of cash in the last decade... Don't think Tesla is asking for that.
Please detail the known keyloggers and spyware installed by default on Windows 10, after shutting down all privacy settings and disabling Cortana.
The tinfoil is strong with this one.
Have at it. My time is worth more to me. Windows 10 fully patched, WannaWhat? Also, my company is smart enough not to run an unsupported OS using an ancient hackable protocol which the manufacturer warned about four years ago. But sure, blame the maker. Nice thing about linux, when it breaks after apt-get update or dnf upgrade you can't really blame anyone, because it's "not my lib." that caused the issue. Been there done that. Done with it.
Servers? Completely different story. LInux on the desktop is worthless for the vast majority of users. But feel free to think it isn't.
I just don't get it. After all these years, freetards still insist that Linux has a place as a desktop OS. Well... it does. Last place.
Servers? Unquestionably a huge and vital presence. Let's leave it where it works best.
Time to cry two tears in a bucket and say f#*k it -- goodbye desktop linux arguments.
//And you're retarded. Look at how many folks build their own computers....they don't come with OS'.
I've built probably 12 systems for my own use, sourced all parts, assembled, installed OS, etc. etc.
I'm the only one of my several-dozen-close-friends that has ever done this.
98.9% of people who use computers buy them already built.
If you don't believe this, then you are the one with severe learning disabilities.
Away from Linux on the desktop. It is pure fail.
I've tired every distro under the sun, and none of them are as consistent and as useful as Windows or Mac OS X for anything outside programming or l33t h@xorz.
Don't listen to the freetardian chants of "um, security! Virus! Blue Screen!" Anyone with half a brain can secure a Windows box with two or three free apps. Same with OS X.
Desktop linux will be a daily battle for you to turn work around to your non-linux customers, I promise you. They will soon stop putting up with the bullshit.

What the hell does that post even mean. Please stop drinking so heavily the afternoon before the night before New Year's Eve.

Sure, and when they're too cautious and someone inside a house _does_ get killed, you'll be the first in line to defend their caution. Right? Right?

Billions of dollars in Fortune 500 companies disagree with you. Linux is for servers.
But you're much smarter than anyone outside of your mom's basement, so there _is_ that.
I'll admit it is a tad confusing, but the headline was comparing Windows 10 to Windows 7 ... not to anything else.
And turning off the telemetry is trivial: https://www.oo-software.com/en...
So 2018 will be the "year of the linux desktop" ... right?
But the POTUS is one of millions who do this. Social media was built for money. Period. Do people still not recognize this?
Could of sworn we (taxpayers) really helped some of the automakers with a giant infusion of cash in the last decade ... Don't think Tesla is asking for that.
So ... we need a president to tell us that social media is made for narcisissm and is basically a loudspeaker for idiots.

Yah. It's a backspace key. Above that is "eject" .... there's no "delete" key.
