A recent employer issued me a new 15" MacBook Pro. I really liked the weight, battery life, screen quality, and the feel of the keyboard. But the non-PC keyboard layout drove me nuts. I.e., the absence of stand-alone keys like home, end, page-up, alt, etc.
This is not exactly a Mac-specific problem, in my experience.
FYI Mods, parent is not a troll, just European (Scandinavian I assume).
Could be a Scandinavian troll.
This. IMHO, the whole point of Linux has always been the unlimited possibilities for customization, so I don't get this recent trend of threatening to leave Linux altogether because _some_ distros use Systemd _by default_.
Personally, I had a brief stint with NetBSD around 2003, and I was momentarily hooked by the Unix purity after all these flashy mainstream Linux distros. However, I soon learned I can a lot of the same experience with all the Linux goodies (such as hardware compatibility) by running Gentoo, so that's what I've used ever since.
The elephant in the room is that Islam is fundamentally and irreconcilably offensive to Christians because they say Jesus was not the son of God. There is nothing more blasphemous than denying this fundamental tenant of Christianity.
IMHO, claiming that the Tenth Doctor isn't the all-time best Doctor comes pretty close.
Yes, what we need is 10 laws, inscribed into stone. That way there could be no argument over their meaning.
But there sure could be an argument over their total number.
Complaining about the irrelevance of stories is a time honored tradition here, along with grammar nazis and tired memes.
That should be grammar Nazis.
Remember the recent nerd rage on "starivores"? You should not mix languages within technical terms. Since "Nazi" is a German word (short for "Nationalsozialist" - which is funny because the "nati" part is already pronounced as "na-tsi"), the term you're looking for is "Grammatiknazi".
Better to live under a Sharia theocracy than a tyrannical nanny state.
Why?
Neither would be my first choice but if they were the only options I'd take the beer.
FTFY.
IMHO, "hacker" is as good or bad a term as "amateur", to me they are really the same thing. The word "amateur" starts out great - doing something for the love of it, rather than money. But you mostly hear it used as a pejorative - oh, he's just an amateur, he doesn't really know what he's doing (because obviously people who get paid to do what they do really do know).
