I come at this from a completely different viewpoint, having only recently dipped my toes into Linux - for me, a package manager is a relatively new concept. The nearest I've come to it previously has been with Apple's App Store, both for iOS and now OSX - plenty of choice, sometimes too much choice.

As far as manually installing apps goes, it usually boils down to double-clicking on the DMG file to mount it, then either running the installation package or dragging the app file to your Applications folder.

In theory, uninstalling apps is as simple as dragging the app file to the Trash. I say 'in theory' because apps do leave behind some detritus formed by using them - thankfully not to the same degree as Windows, but it is there. For suites of apps like Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Cloud, there tends to be a lot more extra stuff deposited onto your system besides the apps themselves.

Sadly, updates do tend to be on a per-app basis, with the exception of those acquired through the App Store, which handles the update process.

No offense to you or your coworker, but is there any reason to accept your theory just on your say so?

(And your sig is accurate, btw)

Quit.

I'm sure she's in a financial position where she didn't have to have the income, and if she had any integrity, she would walk. Further, when questioned by the press, she wouldn't give the 'spend more time with my family' canned response, she would be truthful.

She wasn't placed in a position. She sought out the position. As do all politicians.

He's too busy to learn to computer because he's busy playing with the boys?

That's why I asked him to specify criteria when he answered. IMNSHO, the answer is almost entirely dependent on the criteria, as evidenced by the poster above who mentioned the FNFAL, etc.

Because we don't care about that any more than we care about whether you are in the People's Front of Judea or the Judean People's Front.

No, you've confused BTC with USD.

Rinsed down with a good homebrew. Gotta get your B-complex vitamins somewhere.

Seventy-two isn't young. It's rather close to the life expectancy in the US, IIRC. And more to the point: it doesn't fucking matter if he died young, considering his death had zero relation to his diet.

Which is the better battle rifle, an AK-47/74 type or an AR-15/M-16/M-4 type? Please give your criteria as well as your answer.

Bonus: favorite handgun platform/caliber that isn't a .45 1911.

Then why do most feminist groups object to presumed shared parenting scenarios in divorce situations?

Third wave feminism for you.
