That's kind of what I was trying to point out in what you were saying. It doesn't make sense to switch because of a small problem, as you were advising. That's because all OSes (or distributions) have them.

Any time a system decides to make things more complicated for the end user with no benefits means its time to jump ship to a different system.
Really? So, if I don't like this problem with hosts file in Windows, I should switch to another OS, say Linux. Then Linux does some small change that makes it more complicated for me, so I should switch again? To what? Back to Windows? Am I supposed to switch OSes like this every few months?
Ehm, doesn't "more selective" imply "smaller"?
But it doesn't say which planet.
I'm curious, do you have any more information about the next versions of
I think he meant WPF. But that does not wrap Win32 or anything like that, it's a “clean API refresh”.
I think that says more about the quality of his high school education than about what universities should be teaching.
Here in Czech Republic, universities teach only the subject you're studying (so you don't need to study any history, literature or physics to get a CS degree). But that's because all those subjects were already taught in high school. And I believe if done right, that's more than enough.
University shouldn't be about general education, that's what the earlier stages are for.
Usually you can fire someone without any kind of a reason.
Well, if you do that in a civilized country, it also means you have to give the employee a severance package. Which is why companies don't like to do that.
Yes and people (at least the Slashdot crowd) would much prefer to have their CPUs at their full performance, not intentionally crippled so that they can be sold at a lower price.
But that's just how economy sometimes works. For the CPU manufacturer, it's cheaper to produce just one kind of CPUs and then cripple them to different levels and sold at a price based on that crippling. And in this case, everyone wins.
Isn't it possible the situation with cable is similar? If you had large price just for cable without any channels, less people would pay for cable and so it would be less feasible to film those expensive shows like Game of Thrones.
And then rip the CD? So, instead of having the music instantly in a format I want, I have to wait until it arrives through snail mail and then I have to work to get it in a format I want? Thanks, but no thanks.
So you're telling me I should pay for the privilege of paying for Netflix? Thanks, but no thanks. If they don't want my money, I won't force it on them.
Well, I could afford it, but they don't want my money:
> Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country... yet
Let me get this straight. They're not acting extremely maliciously, they're only acting very maliciously?
Big O is an upper bound, but that doesn't mean it always describes the worst case. Quicksort is O(log n) in the average case (knowing how fast the best case is mostly useless). What that means is that in the average case, quicksort will always use less than c * log n time, for sufficiently large c.
But the summary says different sources of money of different media are the cause of this situation. And in that regard BBC is comparable to RT: both are publicly funded, they don't rely on advertising.
