It's been like that for many years. Commodity Dell and Compaq boxes have been made by Asus or Acer forever. I don't think that changed after HP took over Compaq.
Don't go out for lunch all the time. Eating out too much leads to obesity because the food is generally high in fat and the portion sizes are too big. Much better to make a quick sandwich with healthy ingredients (i.e. starting with all whole grain bread) and then have a walk.
That works but it implies that you'll work late. I do that too, at least sometimes. OTOH I'll take a walk when there's no progress in coding and usually I have the solution in my head by the time I'm back.
Linux users have [access to] the sources of all or at least most of what they're running. Old school UNIX users used to as well, until IBM, HP & co made their Unixes proprietary.
That makes a whole lot of sense. If your system isn't opaque like Windows, you can dig down to the root cause of a problem and ascertain that it will actually be gone after a reboot or whatever fix is needed. Otherwise chances are that it'll come back. That's what I do on my own Linux boxes too. As soon as I find the time I want to switch from Debian to Gentoo to have even more of that capability.
How would an electron with a fancy label be fungible? It would be special! Imagine the possibilities. Gucci batteries that deliver special brand juice!
As long as they pay off the right politicians and get money out of it they probably don't care about sympathy. I hope the public listens and asks candidates about their stance about copyright issues.
I've had to prettify more C/C++ sources than I care to remember because the indentation was all screwed up. At least that didn't change the semantics of the program.
It was mostly about metrology: "How could we have gotten this wrong?" They never raised the idea that Relativity might be wrong. The original paper was very clear and cautious about it.

That's how people say it in California.
And a nasty tornado outbreak when the weather flips.
Chicago was warmer than SoCal for a few days.
I ran dozens of them over on the I-5 a few years ago. It's probably my fault.
But given that a LaserJet 4 lasted for about a decade there is no ongoing volume without consumer crap with built-in obsolescence.

"Greed is good" seems to be embedded culturally in a large part of the population. At least a much greater part than Europe (outside the UK) or Japan.

And don't take the laptop into the kitchen. Cell phone is OK but no browsing or emailing.
I agree but Gentoo kind of forces me to use the source and it seems that some of the system management is simpler and more obvious.

It is sandboxed as long as there is no bug to be exploited. And since there is no bug free software more complex than a "Hello, world!" program...

Just like "Almost 30 years." 2012-1989=?

Then add a disagreement on tab width or tab vs space indentation between different editors and you're in deep doodoo.
Meh.

Just had to be said.
What is this PERL language you're talking about? /me, going back to hack some Perl code...

I keep wondering about that. Can we infer from the neutrino oscillations what speed they're actually going at if we can't measure it directly?
Big businesses are people too!
Little men, not so much. That's why we call them "little."
