Use of any and all of the iOSified features on OSX is 100% optional. If that is the reason you are switching, you have not really thought this through. What in OSX has changed that you don't like?
GateKeeper? Turn it off Launchpad? Don't use it. App Store? Don't use it. Notification Center? Really if you don't like this you should stop using computers. Mission Control? Don't use it if you don't want to, but really the problem does appear to be you. iCloud? Just don't use it.
If there is a flow like you describe, it is a very small number of people. Very few people use Linux on the desktop to begin with. They saw a little spike during the netbook fad, but it is all gone now.
It is not just his ruling in the case and taking the job afterword. He also made a ludicrous ruling that looked like he was already working for Samsung's marketing department. Perhaps people in the UK don't hold their judges to a very high standard of conduct.
Pretty sure doing the same thing in one place instead of another place has noting at all to do with the definition of convoluted. They are not taking extra steps or doing anything inefficiently. I would suggest having hardware and software in the device to support 6 different video output formats would be convoluted. Having people simply select the proper dongle that handles the conversion internally is elegant.
You are attacking others for swallowing Apple's marketing spiel. You are rejecting a solution simply because it came from Apple.
You hit the nail on the head. If he wants training to use current tools and concepts he needs a trade school. The university program is design to provide the theoretical framework you need to do more advanced work in the field. If the OP sees himself only being a web programmer than maybe the trade school route is the way to go. However, technology and tools change, a solid base in theory will be more valuable in 10 years than the current FOTM in web development.
No one said you have do allocations in base 10, only that people should stop misusing units. Kilo does not mean 1024. Ever. If you say it does, you are wrong. Linux and OSx stopped the abuse long ago.it is time for windows to catch up.
Except Microsoft is the only one mistakenly displaying GiBs as GBs. It may not be "news", but it is not obvious. MS should have fixed this long ago. Now you got Edd the clown trying to tell everyone this makes the MS numbers true and Apple is lying by using SI units properly (and in the same way the hard drive manufacturer does).
Since a fairly well followed tech journalist just lied to the world and said the way MS misuses standard units is the correct way, maybe it is news..
Why wouldn't you be doing serious work? More real work is done in that position than hunched over a desk.
In either case your right. Despite outdated notions here on slashdot. The iPad is better choice for all tablet use cases and most laptop use cases than the surface pro.
Gun Shows exist for a very different purpose. They are designed to support the private exchange of firearms between individuals... CES does not exist for that (or anything like that) at all.
I don't buy the premise of the article, if I did, I would think MS and Apple would be about equal. MS on the desktop and Apple on the mobile side (depending on who you believe).
Both of them actually support a lot of open standards, but they do both have their moments.
every apple device made in the past 5 years (really longer) supports MicroUSB (as required by European law). Nice try I guess. BTW, your comment has nothing at all to do with the topic of this story or the post you replied to.
The only thing I see on the forums I use is google analytics on a couple of them. Doesn't bother me because I really don't care if people track what I look at. Most people are overly concerned about their privacy. People complain that the ads they see are for stuff they might be interested in instead of stuff they have no interest in. How much sense does that make?
You should disagree with them more. Almost every one of their positions is bad for all computer users, all programmers, all open source software projects, and well really all people. There is not a more poorly directed advocacy group in the world. I am a huge believer and supporter of open source software. The FSF is no friend to open source. It is merely an organization supporting an ego/power trip.
I have been using the Internet over 25 years now. It is certainly better today than it ever was. Even the title "The Web We Lost" tells us we should simply ignore the story. Nothing has been lost. I can still put up a server in my house to host whatever. Maybe it won't get ranked by Google, but so what. That is clearly not important to what the author is talking about. People who claim some functionality of the Internet has been lost are a strange group. It is pretty clear they are wannabe techies. They heard there was some cool stuff but they don't know how to find or do it now, therefore the cool stuff must have been lost.
These people would have been the ones who were lost back in the day.

I agree with your sentiment, but Mensa? Really?

Did the penalty of perjury statement end with: But hey don't be pedantic...
Easy enough to confirm she did take the boat. Why do you automatically disbelieve him? In a battle of assholes, the one that goes public wins.
Use a VPN..

Why defend crap?
Obviously someone hired Tony Soprano to take him out.
Since Service Now is a cloud hosted Application, so the just storage concept does not work well in this context.

End Users should not care about closed/open source. If they did, open source would have been obliterated decades ago.

Actually it is a huge difference....
In fact, usenet and IRC both have more users today than any other point in history.
Back when it was completely under the control of the United States Military and the National Science Foundation. Ahh the good old days.

No reason not to. We live in a world where Toyota is made in Kentucky and Ford is made in Mexico. Take the jobs where you can get them.
