Multiple, incompatible guest OS's.

I am not really sure what more need be said.

That only helps if every single piece of software that you'd ever want to run in a server environment runs on your chosen perfect OS. In the real world, virtualization allows for different OS's in the guests.

Why do you equate a tolerance for boredom with a lack of intelligence?

What exactly is wrong with polygamy?

What are you sighting, and why are you trying to emphasize the event?

Worked when? 1990?

Poe's Law has never been more applicable.

Why wouldyou believe that priest has a better idea of what the Bible says than a random 3 year old from down the street?

It's a lot safer if a random thief breaking and entering your home does't know for certain if you have a gun. For one, he won't be going specifically to steal your gun. And he won't necessarily pack any heat of his own if he doesn't expect that level of violence.

And of course there are plenty of people who would like to lynch gun owners as a matter of policy. A bit ironic, but that's the kind of hysteria the U.S. experiences every time someone goes on a rampage.

Any app can do that on any device. If you don't want software on a mobile device to have access to the 'net, don't install it. It's not an inherent insecurity to have network access.

(On iOS 7, you can disable access over cellular on a per-app basis to cut down your data usage.)

The app my company develops is dropping iOS support in the next version. iOS is different enough to make UI improvements a pain to keep compatible.

The GP to which you replied is a near-sighted bigot. If he lived in the South, he'd be prime KKK material. For all I know, he's a(n honorary) member in actuality.

Anyone who thinks a few keystrokes is less efficient than piecing together a Unix pipeline that will totally mess up your code is a complete idiot and really isn't worth a second thought.

IDEs do a lot to make creating software more efficient. Mere typing is trivial, and doesn't generally take the majority of the time. If you can't learn an IDE well enough to appreciate it, you are either a complete idiot or you are writing such trivial software that no one cares about it. Or, possibly, you are using a language for which no (good) IDE exists, but you didn't try that argument, so I'm guessing A or B.

There is no logic in ensuring adequate resources for future generations. If I'm not alive to benefit, it doesn't matter what happens after I die. If you are an atheist, or otherwise do not believe in an after-life of any kind, this is even more true.
