I find that Google posters are more technically incline. Most of the people I circle are tech types or something else I find cool. I've also noticed that most people post to circles and not public. I will see people commenting on posts, but when I click their profile, they are sharing nothing.

My guess this has to do with them being more technical. Companies and everyone else are searching the Internet to see what you do online. If you don't share your post with them, they can't see it.

As for G+ being dead. I don't see it. G+ only allows 500 comments per post and I see maxed out post comments quite often. (very annoying Google, fix it!)

I suppose if you are an outsider looking in, it could look like a ghost town. Especially if you are choosing random people to follow. A lot of random G+ers don't want you seeing what they are posting.

The sound system blows. It's terrible and has so many issues. They created Pulse to fix it, but Pulse is a train-wreck too.

X is horrible. Hopefully Wayland will fix it.

Not all Linux are the same. Debian clones / Redhat clones. Several of their functions (start up / update) are different. That will just confuse people. Yeah there are others, but only these two are actually feasible due to how wide spread they are.

Ubuntu IMO is doing a great job with the desktop, but the first two things on my list must be fixed.

Falling space junk, meteorites, and terrorist. Which one takes out the $60B elevator first?

Oh will you people give it a fucking rest about terr'sts? I see this "oh but the Jihadists might try to attack it" on almost every single major engineering post on /. these days and it's getting on my wick.

I don't recall saying "a jihadist" you freaking asshat. A terrorist is a terrorist no matter what their religious beliefs are.

btw, if you don't like it take your uppity ass to a different site.

I struggled with Apache 2 for at least 4 years before switching to NginX. It was the best thing I ever did.

You struggled to use Apache?

I appreciate you telling me this. You've enlightened me to add something to my hiring practices. Now I know to ask a simple Apache configuration question when I Interview someone. I definitely don't want to hire someone that has trouble using something as simple as Apache.

I've more than been aware of Sony's activities. For the most part I know they suck for what they do, but they are a for profit public company and expect some idiot anti-consumer crap. Especially with share-holder pressure, but this is beyond acceptable. To try and profit off someone's death is sickeningly unacceptable.

I officially bought my last Sony product if I can help it. /goodbye-Sony

A) Have a larger selection of products. . . .
B) Don't charge 4 times what I can by it for online, I mean I understand you deserve to make a profit and I am willing to pay the "have to have it RIGHT now" fee . . . . but if it's more than double what online offers, you need to replace your corporate buyers.

A) is impossible. You can't have a larger selection of products than the Internet does.

B) Brick and mortar stores are for the local area only and are expensive to have. A lot more expensive than a warehouse that services the entire country / world with only one set of employees. Barns and Noble's stores just cannot compete with Amazon for book pricing. It's impossible.

Don't abandon hope. Your Captain Midnight decoder ring arrives tomorrow.
