Seriously? It doesn't matter if you have admin rights? And thus no means of local storage? So we should all push our documents out 'on the cloud'? So Google or Microsoft has control of everything we do? We should push them out onto 'the cloud' running binaries on machines we don't have admin rights to, giving out passwords each time we do?
I like local storage. It goes beyond liking, actually. I expect local storage. Crap like this just makes it easier for software publishers and 'services' to eliminate the need for, and thus the access to, local storage.
Plus, dinks who write web pages aren't programmers. No matter how many 'script' tools they heft around.
And I like the old test equipment you're probably chopping apart to get those nixie tubes for this year's novelty fad. Hope you're not wrecking a lot of good gear.
I bought a new Ford in 2006. It is the simplest version of a stripped Ford Ranger. The most 'high tech' feature it has is it's only option upgrade: a CD player in the radio. When I was looking at it in the sales lot the salesman told me 'this is the last of it's kind.' It uses only a simple key to unlock the door and start. I can go to a hardware store and get a key cut from a blank for about $1.50.
And it's the simplest version of a stripped Ford Ranger. Nobody has ever wanted to steal it. It's also the default color for Fords: black.
I consider it 'modern' but it doesn't have any of the new croft. At all.
You just described Apple's business model, too. Thank goodness neither Google nor Apple have a business methods patent on that. Although Apple could claim prior art going back to about 1984 on it.
I bought an iPod Touch 4 in that time period. About two years ago now. Unsupported on iOS 7. Big mistake on my part. I guess I should have stood in line outside the Apple store instead of just going to WalMart and buying what was considered the current Apple iPod Touch.
Mexicans and Americans (USians?) aren't really races. It's more a matter of nationalism. People seldom 'play the nationalism card' because if you identify yourself an internationalist, you get redbaited.
Probably the Mexicans are more protective of the jobs within their country because they don't want Americans traveling down and crowding their people out of the skilled wellpaying jobs.
Really, the immigration problem is a tragedy for the countries that the people immigrate from. When the US gets the most skilled and ambitious people from all of Central America, it means they're drained from their own local communities. It undoubtedly hurts any efforts in those countries to grow a local economy and a middle class.
The 2600 editors will probably publish photographs of the payphone outside the publishing companies office in their next issue! The publisher had better beware!!!
Also, there will probably be a construction article that says to "connect a 'red-violet-brown' resistor to the long lead of the LED."
Dude is an RPG gamer. Of course, he wants to conduct social experiments. Put people into situations, roll the 12 sider. See how it works out. That's the nature of people who delight in overreaching state power.
How does the race of the coders make a product more or less 'attractive' to particular defined 'segments' of the population?
Race is an artificial construct. Acknowledging it as anything significant reinforces racism. 'Groups' are not employed in the act of programming. The act of sifting and sorting individuals into 'groups' is an explicit act of racism.
The Linux 0.98 kernel far predates Slackware CD's. Slackware started out on big stacks of floppy diskettes, and came into it's prime after 1.0. Slackware on CDs came into it's prime at about 1.2.13. The only CD distribution I know of with a 0.9x kernel is the first generation Yggdrasil CD, which was called LGX (Linux Gnu X, which they apparently thought was the acronym that would start.) The LGX CD was the first plug-and-play Linux version of all, and was sorta dazzling in 1993. (it played a voice welcome message at login on your sound blaster)
On NetBSD, the base install includes vi (the real thing, not some workalike) and it's refreshing and clean to roll out the base install and then go in and touch up/etc/rc.d with vi. And have a fully working system when you're done, with X11, the Tab Window Manager, all the goodies you need.
No. The typical 486 motherboard had 4 simm slots. Anybody who didn't populate them with 4MB simms was a fucking idiot. So the typical was 16MB. These were the 30 pin simms. I have some of the rare 16MB 30-pin simms, but I'd never waste them in an Intel box. They're far nicer in a SparcStation IPX or a Mac SE/30.
Pragmatically, we should ban all travel, and eat only tofu, vegetables, and some other forms of roughage. Also, any sports are prohibited. Sex is just plain out unless it's conducted in specifically for procreation, and then you'll need to visit a health board first, to get your chastity device unlocked for a prescribed period of time.
Don't be such a prat. If you don't like subsidizing the lifestyles of unhealthy people, join those of the rest of us working to get rid of the forced health insurance laws.
The Mexicans don't need walls. They have police forces who vigorously work to identify any illegal aliens, and eject them out of Mexico. Want to work at any of the auto plants located south of the border, but you're a US Citizen? Sorry. Walls would just be an unnecessary expense.

sit down and make your own, that's what I did
I did, too, but I gave up because the wirewrap pins on the backplane were digging into my wrist and it hurt like hell.
"More and more" was what he typed, not 'electronically illiterate kids.' In other words, a trend, not just a comment about a few kids.
I don't think we can simply blame 'the school system' for a whole culture that fosters what is happening.
"You didn't build that."

I get the feeling you have to use their app to take the photo. But there are always workarounds.
Ink on a peel-able piece of transparent tape comes to mind.

Is this a paid break? Where's the fucking candy machine in the breakroom?
Correct, although I only paid $600 for 16 MB. But it was in 1994. It was worth it
The 486DX-33 processor and motherboard cost another $600.

And maybe a debug script for an MS-DOS virus.
All in all, a veritable threat.
I doubt if an audience of customers from the 'automotive and outdoor-adventure market' are gonna care about social media.
The social media fever swamps don't really intersect much with the mud truck crowd. Totally different form of muddy water there.

All the cool people have them.
What's the matter with you? You want to fit in, don't you?
I certainly HOPE Apple is working on a watch project. It might finally tug them under. Does Tim Cook have a current resume?
(and can we have the source code for iOS when you're done with it, Apple?)

Are streets lined with parked Trabants similar to Trailer Parks?
Biomass. Build biomass digesters surrounding the windmills. So the dead eagles can be turned into methane.
