'Stockholm Syndrome' - good one. I like to call it 'VW Beetle Syndrome'. A beetle engendered a feeling of empathy. The little steam engine that could. Some people just loved to work on the goddamn things every weekend.
I just tell people that I don't do Windows, since nobody pays me to fix my own computer all the time. Their immediate assumption is that I use a Mac, which is partially true - typing on one now. When my mother & nieces needed computers, I bought them Macbook Airs. Life is too short to waste on never ending MS support.
Yup. American/Canadian cities with their low voltages have horrible issues, especially in older neighborhoods, where the grid was not designed for the increased modern load. I have found that a UPS will make most PC issues go away.

The poor guy is a law professor. He is totally out of his depth when talking about any technical matters and he doesn't even know it.
Brilliant! Very memorable.

Ayup. I don't even know anybody that knows anybody that is an Irish engineer.
Unless they add 100% interest per year, nothing is going to happen. It'll be tied up in court for centuries otherwise.
That was just a name change.
No, that is what Apple is going to do.
Nuclear submariners do this all the time. Why is it necessary for NASA to do these 'experiments?
Well, any frood knows that 42 is the answer to everything. Now don't forget your towel.
Dude, you just made me snort my Coke. I wonder how many Sloshdatters will understand though.
...and you are still waiting for the download to finish?
So, between Apple and Samsung they have 105% of the market sewn up. Marketing speak indeed.
I use Slackware, so I don't need to know what it is all about. Thanks Pat!
Man, it is a good thing we shot all the buffalo. Imagine how much methane they would have released...
Well, bro, given the standird of publieck skool edumacation...
How would you find anyone that would want to smoke chocolate?
Oh, so that is why they broke it - they were thinking of the children.
It would be all about ease of assembly.
...and ten years before that, we had sub 1 MHz clock speeds. Kids these days don't appreciate what they got. Now get off my lawn!
"What's my password? Shoot!!" Uhm, don't say that in the US, the police might oblige...
Encrypted data that is in the possession of the police, is not hidden. They are asking the victim to assist them with interpreting the data.
Ayup - hydrogen is only useful as a fuel, when it is combined with carbon to make a hydrocarbon, which brings us right back to square one.
I think we have discovered an Electric Monk on Slashdot (a robot that was designed to believe stuff so that humans don't need to).
