Way too late.

Among the people who use it, Windows Phone is already hugely popular. Every time I'm around people with iPhones or Android phones, I hear complaint after complaint about things that don't work right, underwhelming features, etc.
I've never been around a Windows phone user to hear how great they are.
Terrible that the best damn phone ever invented is so unpopular.
yes. obviously they should die for words they speak. you are a wise and just person.
And you? Maybe not so much.
But people are going ot have to come to grips with the fact that we aren't quite as anonymous on the net as we thing we are, so the time approaches when people with dark souls that might think rape is funny will suffer the legal repercussions to making those threats.
We don't have to agree on everything, but we should all use proper manners and stick within the law. Bill and Ted said it best - "Be excellent to each other."
Isn't there a Women in STEM or global warming thread for you to infest?
If systemd has any bearing on women in STEM or global warming, then truly its scope has become more vast than any dared to dream or dread.
Does seem to be trolls that try ot turn every topic into a referendum on systemd.
And those three topics generate a lot of activity.
I am using OSX right now. File extensions are not hidden.... But even where extensions are hidden, it is not at the same level of stupidity as hiding them on Windows. On Windows, the extension actually changes how the operating system interacts with the file
Just asking, never having used OSX, which I understand to be a Unix system, aren't filename extensions non-functional? ie they are merely part of a filename that happens to include a period near the end. In which case hiding the extension is hiding part of the filename - why TF would anyone do that? And why stop at hiding after the dot? They might as well hide everything after the first occurence of the letter "p" say, or after the first four characters, or the first eight (Oh wait! like FAT16).
I'm not certain where you got that info. If you try to remove or change an extension, a "do you really want to?" window pops up, and you have to force the change. Then if you force it, it will either atttempt to open it in the forced program, or ask for a program if you completely eliminated the extension name.
I do a lot of changing
And big time default is showing the extensions. You have to intentioinally turn them off, and only the bottom turtle would know why anyone would do that.
The crap ones like Windows and OSX, they hide it

His posting just shows he doesn't use OS X. We actually have to work to hide extensions.
So much for droolers, eh?

We'll see how many get that reference....
And gamification will be forthcoming so you can earn badges and stickers if you successfully complete each rebootless patch patch patch. Damn hipsters!
Mr. Torvalds please return Linux to its principled roots and forbid corporate control.
I like the pretty gold round ones! Yay- me for stickers!
The trolls threatened to rape his daughter.
He exposed their identity leading them to be kicked off their teams due to their actions.
I fail to see how he "stooped to their level."
Probably a troll worried about getting a little of their own back. There are some boundaries that you do not cross, such as threatening violence - especially against a family member who isn't even involved. Dey dun crossed 'em. I'm glad they lost their jobs. Maybe they'll starve or end up homeless. That would be cool.
Am I supposed to be impressed at your failed mind-reading?
Well tell me then. How has your particular deity communicated with you? What was the nature of that communication, and what did this deity tell you?
Let's make this simpler. for the purposes of this "discussion". I'm saying that there has been little to nothing added to the book of Christianity/Judaism since roughly 1900 some years ago.
Deny or accept?
Did this deity previously keep regular contact and perform actively and issue direct commands in these people's lives before that?
deny or accept?
Why did that stop?
That's it.
