Comment This isn't Soviet Russia (Score 1) 334

First, the EU is a joke. But even if it wasn't, who are they to tell a company not to favor its own products? It is a socialist agenda, and goes against the very core of capitalism.

They can't claim it's anti competitive, there are still a lot of search engines out there. If they did as good a job as Google, maybe customers would have used them more. The fact is that Bing is also popular enough, and there are a few other search engines that are slowly gaining in popularity.

This is not exactly accurate. It hinges greatly on the type of manager we're talking about.

For example if the manager is very hands-on, goes into the details, produces proper mock-ups, flow diagrams, and everything is properly documented: This type of manager can actually accelerate the development process significantly since developers now know exactly what to do. But again, this manager has to really know what he's doing, and have some serious programming experience in his past.

Whatever they wanna say, they are more than welcome to share with the world. It's a free country, and with free software, you get Double Free! They can choose another distro, or they can uninstall systemd (see instructions here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=112364 ).

But using verbal violence against a developer is unacceptable, and immature. So I stand behind my prognosis.

Comment Contact the FBI (Score 5, Insightful) 159

I suggest you contact the FBI and work with them. Why? Obviously the criminals are asking for banking information, and I can't imagine this being used for anything other than nefarious purposes. The FBI can sting them and locate the relevant bank accounts and freeze the money (in other words, give the scammers a kick in the balls). If you both get lucky, the FBI will actually catch the criminals and jail them.

Comment And will they fix Yosemite as a result? (Score 2) 313

In other words, assuming the data is being collected in order to improve the OS, will they actually be able to analyze this huge amount of data and come up with actual fixes?

I'm asking because my past experience as an OSX user is that there is a massive amount of garbage warnings and errors in the OS's system logs, which never seem to get fixed (and that's kinda annoying). You would think that they would analyze the data and fix those issues, being the "thorough" and "detail oriented" people they purport to be.
