That is because most of us understand software. We know that things often "work" in Windows only, because Windows often ignores failures or they have internal workarounds based on inside knowledge of the hardware and firmware, as well as the flaws in its implementation. It is actually quite common that something "works" in Windows and fails with Linux because Linux is following the standard / functioning properly while Windows is not, and the actual fault is with the hardware and/or Windows.

"Going back to FUD again... the automatic, unblockable upgrades only applies to Home users"

So it is not FUD because it is true? Interesting.

Are you on drugs. I regularly read here on Slashdot how Microsoft is a horrible company who is all about profit and doesn't actually care about security or usability except as regards to the effect it has on their bottom line. I also regularly read that Windows is a clusterfuck OS. Given that these are all facts, I would say Slashdot is one of the few places you can go on the internet to read anything sensible about Windows.

I don't think it is accurate to call her a cocksucker. If she was we probably would never have heard the name Monica Lewinsky ðY

Microsoft has to refund to the manufacturer after the manufacturer refund to the customer, because again the license it's unused

That has to be one of the most erroneous car analogies ever seen on Slashdot. I have to assume it is a troll as nobody could possibly be that stupid.

I'll l take it a step further and say that if you aren't an idea person, then you shouldn't learn to code. You weaken he codebase.

That was a very well thought out, informative and insightful post. Indeed there are benefits and drawbacks to each approach, and clearly a mixture of the two is better than either separately, at least for you and people such as yourself (a category in which I include myself.) I think any anecdotal argument will favor the presenter in this case, as there as are many people who function well independently, and many otehrs who benefit from structure and don't function well without it being imposed from external sources. Or in terms of a car analogy: YMMV ! :-)

"I see even Slashdot isn't immune to getting suckered into posting fake news?"

That statement doesn't make any sense at all. It implies that Slashdot has some very well respected reputation for vetting their news.

You really couldn't understand what I wrote? Seriously? Now off you go ...

Just accept the fact that you are a clueless idiot with know idea what you are talking about and move on with your life. Thanks.

Let me put it in simpler terms for you. You've made clear your level of skill in the last few posts. Rest assured. You're already totally screwed.

"I'm pretty sure no one wants someone else to be able to load that kind of crap on their phones, but if you can do it, they can do it, too."

Somebody should invent passwords!

"Heavens forbid that the best candidates are picked! Oh the horror!"

Evidently you aren't particularly bright. Only 1 women was hired for 1,231 men. That is indisputable Prima Facia evidence that picking the best candidate is exactly what couldn't possibly have happened, your absurd implication that all women are incompetent not withstanding..
