I, for one, am thankful that people through history pursued 'pointless' research such as the motion of the heavenly spheres, the strange phenomenon known as electricity and though experiment involving looking at one self in a mirror approaching light speed.
Something like a Surface Pro is useful for its convenience, not its raw power, right?
What conveniences? The OS or the keyboard?
Since the Surface Pro is limited to Windows, that flushes 'convenience' down the tube. On the other hand, if you are referring to keyboard/trackpad, I already have tablets and ultralite that do not have Windows on them. I don't see the convenience there.
If I offered you a Surface that will be a total hassle to work with Linux, or a Surface that was a bit slower but would work in Linux without a hitch, wouldn't you take the latter?
Hassle has never stopped me from using Linux. Now let me be clear that I am not generalizing and speaking strictly for myself: I use Linux because I like being in control of my PC. I'm a professional developer and I dream in C/C++. No matter the hassle, I like to ensure that my computer (table or otherwise) runs the way I like--and that's usually close to the metal.
Again, the above statement is _not_ a generalization but my personal preference. I realize this is not what the vast majority of user wants.
However, this said, I would like to know why someone would want to run Linux as their primary OS in a virtualized sandbox under Windows. Seems like an expensive--and limiting way to run Linux.
Hyper-V to run Linux? Sure! Let me spend $$$$$$$$$$ on a tablet just to virtualize my favourite OS and get access to a tiny fraction of what the hardware offers. There are cheaper tablets out there where I can natively install Linux AND get uncompromised access to hardware.
The reality is some people don't want Windows on a tablet (or other computers for that matter).
Wow. I've known LGTB individual for years, and the lifestyle that you describe is completely new to me. I've don't know a single person that is being a pervert, anal sex, drugs, rape, life constantly centered around sex, acting crazy, misoginy, low morals, irresponsibility, polyamory, huge vector of STDs, generally distrustful, known to play the victim, and the worst of all pederasty. Where did you get this from?
Gays are equal to straights and should have the same rights.
That's the whole problem. They do not have the same rights everywhere. I think it's important for GLBT to allow themselves to be seem for who they are to continue to ease their acceptance in society.
I will be snide and I will not post as AC. There are too many comments labelling Stallman as a uncompromising, communist, extremist, liberal, etc... Though it may be true, without his uncompromising stance on freedom, would we have GNU/Linux? Would the Open Source movement even exists?
Sure, there would be source code out there on the web, and the BSDs would probably exists, but he's fighting to ensure that we do not lose the very freedoms that we enjoy with (forgive the term) FLOSS software.
Yes, I run a Linux distro with non-free warts (Mint), I use proprietary software (Steam). But for the most part, I'm in control of my computer, and quite thankful of that. I may not live in the 'ideal' free world of Stallman, but without folks like Stallman and their extreme position on freedom, I suspect the world of computers would be much more closed.
How is that a language quirk for JavaScript? The + operator has been used for string concatenation in a number of programming languages (C++, Java, Python...) long before JavaScript. It is still implemented as such in newer programming languages like C#.
Slashdot Mirror
I second that!
The keyword in here might be 'Ubuntu'. I've never found Ubuntu to be particularly fast.
But honestly, if you going through the effort of installing/using bash, ssh, python, on Windows, how much are you relying on the GUI?
That's news to me. I didn't think the public could think :P
Misleading title. From TFA:

Ruby On Rails originated in 2003. The crash of the global economy followed.
So...RoR crashed the economy then?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Welcome to Windows.
FTFY ;)
There's Go! and there's Go
Seems pretty obvious to me :P.

IQ test != IT savviness
Most people probably have no idea what a MicroSD and would probably want to steer clear of it. (A micro sexual disease??? Is that like Ebola???)
I don't have a problem running Linux on tablet. What WM are you using?

"acceptance into society" isn't a right.
Obviously. They are being discriminated against and in many places, do not share the same rights and privilege as the rest of society.

Now that Windows is kinda-sorta-Unix-like, should it be on DistroWatch.com? </sarcasm>

Thank you Richard Stallman for your fight.
I beg to differ ;)

...or is it a third type of service?
Maybe the problem is not with Uber, but with the cost of being licensed. Is ~200,000 Euros really justified?
