My phone updates have been driven in the past by getting whatever is the current model when my two-year contract runs out, but now that those are ending, I may just hang on to my current model (an iPhone 6 Plus) for a while longer, since it still works fine a year and a half after ordering it.
I hate that goddamn phrase. When the inevitable time comes when suddenly the old system *does* break, it's no longer under any support, nobody's left at the company who knows how it works, there's no budget for a modern replacement, and it has to be fixed in four hours or the company goes bankrupt. Been there, done that, ate the T-shirt after hours of working with no break for food.
People who say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" are the same idiots who brag about uptime.
Pro tip: *every* system is broken. The trick is being able to repair or work around the broken parts without disruption, not to just seal it behind a wall and rediscover it years later when trying to track down what's still pinging.
Sure, but if every project gets replaced with something brand-new every couple of years as management chases tech trends, what's the value of institutional memory anymore?
Well, OS X does include a modern version of the Newton's old handwriting engine; if they can get that ported to iOS, *then* it'll be the return of the Newton.
You'll be getting crap for $100-150. Sorry, but you will. Now that being said, I have found a Syma x5C from Banggood for $63.51 CAD and has a 2MB camera. http://www.banggood.com/Syma-X... [banggood.com] and it's not bad for a beginner but it's going to get broken and then you'll be pissed off.
Not as fucking pissed off as he will be when his $400 drone crashes, eats a prop, gets caught in a gust of wind and wanders out to sea, etc. etc. It's much better to start with a $60 Hubsan or Syma and get some inexpensive practice flying in before moving up to something Phantom-level.
CentOS 6 was delayed quite a bit from the corresponding RHEL release, for a variety of reasons. If being an unofficial-official Red Hat project means that CentOS 7 tracks the upcoming RHEL 7 release better, then everybody wins. (Conversely, if they turn into Sunacle, then we're likely moving to Debian.)

This is quite possibly the most ingenious comment I have ever seen on Slashdot.
Oracle, is that you?

HA-ha-ha! Promote that man.
Frankly, I would consider a system that worked like that a big improvement.

Well not any more it doesn't.
Well, Ron Paul *is* crazy, so that's not the best example.

You left out Safari, built by the same team that brought you iTunes for Windows so you know it's quality!
Sorta off-topic, but in your case you'd probably still be better off switching to a newer system just to cut your electricity and/or AC bill...
I work at a company whose IVR system is still dependent on a pair of Solaris 8 systems. :(

I call shenanigans, nobody in their right mind would claim to be interested in selling HP-UX. /shudder.
Does it fit into the case of an answering machine?

Can you imagine the cosplay outfits? Yuck.
I got it, even if (apparently) nobody else did.
We joke at work that once Oracle, Microsoft, and EMC merge we will have achieved the IT singularity. (At which point, it's already too late.)
