Comment Asimov was right (Score 3, Interesting) 112

We are gradually moving towards a future where we don't ever directly interact with other humans. All of our "interpersonal" relationships will be handled through technology proxies, and robots will take care of all our lonely needs.

Me, I'd rather be a Spacer - not part of this generation.

I find it funny to recall that, only a few years ago, it was iTunes that was the enemy according to the big labels - and they did everything they could to undermine Apple's influence.

They figured out how to monetize that... and I'm sure they'll figure out how to turn Spotify into a profit generator as well.

Comment Re:Running only Windows on a Mac (Score 2) 209

I've used the Surface Pro keyboard covers, both cheap and expensive. It's amazing that anyone who's actually used one would tout that piece of crap as a feature. It's horrible!

And seriously - who wants to lug around a two pound tablet? if you want a Windows laptop, just get one of those Yoga things.

Comment "Better Licensing"? (Score 1) 320

Come on - who really cares about MIT versus GPL licensing in this context? And by "who" I mean "people who manage and use databases as part of their paid job"?

And why does anyone care what someone writing for Dice says on this topic? I read the article, and it doesn't sound like the author has even used any of the features he's decided favor postgres.

What's next - a Dice article on emacs vs. vi?

Cars, too.

Funny anecdote: Quite some years ago, my wife and I were over at another couple's house for our semi-regular game of Pinocle. After we called it an evening, I went out the door and accidentally got into their Ford Escort (at the time, they owned one that was a very similar color to ours - plus it was night). They stood there and laughed at me... and then I started their car with my key.
