I love to wear my kilts, though I do tend to get a lot of dandruff on my shoes.
You're taking it to a new level, eh?

So? Pay for extra leg room.
Dealing with incompetent project managers.
Goddamnit Foist, why haven't you finished your Sprint today? And why didn't you fill in your timesheet? I expect I can find you in the office this Saturday.
I love Ghostery, but it makes Safari 6.0.5 crash.
Heh, this is nothing
I worked at Oracle, and five-pages-long SELECT queries did happen in projects. Real life is sometimes complicated
reach out to all the known historical developers
I dunno about this. Suppose I'm playing D&D. And my wizard finds heaps of treasure in a dungeon. Do you think I should call upon the ancient lords of the Undermountain to contact all the liches who once owned part of this treasure?
With Windows comes the need to manage the device as you would a full Windows PC. That means antivirus, a firewall, decent malware protection, etc. I am definitely not looking forward to that, for what should be a simple tablet. So your bye-bye Android/Apple is premature.
What's pretty funny is that if he ran OS X together with Time Machine he'd just pop in a new drive and restore from the backup that same day. He'd be running again in the time it took to put a new SSD in his machine.
Now I know there's plenty of Time Machine horror stories, but I'm just saying it would have been possible.
Note that I run Linux on all my servers, and 50% of my employer's desktops run on Linux. The rest runs on Mac.
Using utilities like IonCube to 'protect' PHP-code will never stop the dedicated people from reverse engineering the application or re-engineering it.
No, but it will stop support calls from clients that are the result of messing with the code.
Now it's probably true that the above issues are caused by third party drivers, and not Windows itself, but it still sucks.
I'm running a MacBook and for precisely this reason, I try to avoid hardware requiring 3rd party drivers. There are lots of better external wifi devices, but I'd rather not stick drivers in an otherwise perfectly operating machine. Same goes for stuff like VirtualBox or Parallels, which require weird drivers as well.
The reply from Spotify:
"Spotify's goal is to grow a service which people love, ultimately want to pay for, and which will provide the financial support to the music industry necessary to invest in new talent and music," a company spokesperson said today. "We want to help artists connect with their fans, find new audiences, grow their fan base and make a living from the music we all love. Right now we're still in the early stages of a long-term project that's already having a hugely positive effect on artists and new music. We've already paid US$500M to rightsholders so far and by the end of 2013 this number will reach US$1bn. Much of this money is being invested in nurturing new talent and producing great new music. We're 100% committed to making Spotify the most artist-friendly music service possible, and are constantly talking to artists and managers about how Spotify can help build their careers."
Unbelievable how they respond with corporate drivel. For me, this is the sign that no real human is at the helm and I'd rather keep downloading than give money to this faceless entity.
Personally I'd be happy with something twice as thick
That's what she said
I love the way the Chrome tabs take up less space. Very useful on a 13" MacBook.
LOL, they completely and utterly missed the smartphone and tablet market. The iPhone and iPad should have contained something intel, but it didn't.
