Are you aware that BMW and Mercedes reliability has gone into the toilet since the 1980s? I hear most Porsches that don't catch on fire spontaneously are pretty reliable, though.

A modern smart phone can barely compete with a desktop PC from 2000 (CPU wise anyway, smartphones do have much better GPU's).
Gee, is that all? I remember doing quite a lot on my desktop in 2000.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if a 1GHz Pentium 3 could beat a dual core 2GHz ARM CPU. Sure the P3 would be chewing 30W and the ARM only 6.
I'm betting it would depend on which benchmark you were running.
And to be more specific, the last one really alive was the Snow Leopard.
I much rather have most of the stuff shoved away from my site, until I need them
Like a spellchecker, perhaps?
Google Images search for windows 10 continuum brings up images such as this one from this page. It looks like a small chunk of a Windows 8 Start screen and part of a Windows 7 Start menu put together. I'm assuming that the appearance of the new Continuum start menu didn't change when Microsoft removed the option to use full-screen Start screen.
Yeah! Patch it yourself you goddamn hippies!
And the "oh, 5 million lines of code, I don't know where to look" is damned weak sauce. Debian back ports security patches all the time.
Debian isnt changing huge parts of the codebase all at once and calling it a security fix.
Show me where I can get Windows 7 for 60$CAD on NewEgg.ca
And I play Blizzard and Steam games. Not everyone needs to play games on a 4K monitor at 200FPS with the maximum settings.
I wrote in my previous message that I build it myself and that's it's a new computer. It's parts I bought from NewEgg, which are not used.
Sometimes, yes. Nothing is 100% reliable. But ask the same question to someone who lives in Canada, Europe or Asia. Nobody "expects" to lose his connection. On the rare occasions that it happens, it's surprising and shocking, but not expected.
A. Why ought they to continue to be?
B. Why is it?
In the present case, Slashdot's home country is in the wrong region.
You mean you don't check to make sure there wasn't a server issue or some other issue preventing the content from loading before you drop off of the network?
Usually I look at the first screenful of a document to see it is overwhelmingly more likely than not to have loaded. For most sites that don't use lazy loading, viewing the favicon and snippet of the <title> element in the browser's tab bar is enough. Or are you claiming that I ought to read the entire document before I read the document?
(I wonder how the NCTA would respond to such an article, were one such as this parody were ever to appear in print)
So get a domain, put together a shiny website, and shop the article around to all the wire services you can find...
Ideally you want to grab as much of the stream all at once as you can, incase you loose connectivity during the next 2 hours.
That's the problem. USA-Americans are so used to crappy communication services that they expect to lose connections. There shouldn't be any lost connectivity.
