Who the fuck is "EzInKy" and why would anyone else care whether they use Prime or not? The benefit outweighs the cost if the cost is less than you'd spend, or you can afford it, or prefer the convenience. There's no right or wrong answer.

So...20 days late? Not bad.

He used to work there, so he can see the future. If this theory worked, companies should temporarily fire people, see what they can divine about what will shortly pass, then re-employ them and fix the problem.

Is 1 less random than 29840972.58792384 ?

Perhaps they mean "randomly generate numbers"?

"I'm sorry, but if I'm investing in a high-end, server-class CPU, I expect it to be supported for as long as is reasonably possible."

You're not getting an update no matter what you post on Slashdot. Just pretend you're buying an Android phone.

The CEO of Intel sold all of his shares just in time, huh?!

" Wow..really? Do that many people really use Chrome as their browser of choice?
I know my experience is purely anecdotal, but I don't know any of my peers that use it and I work in IT."

Yeah, seems you and your friends are no longer qualified to make assumptions on which browser people use, amongst other things.

Ours are now a bunch of mumbling, sniffing, think-accented idiots who are no help because they are graduate level, just following scripts with no understanding of how tech works and consequently no ability to diagnose or speculate things to try when the scripted approach fails. It takes a lot longer to get anything sorted. But hey, they're cheap.

mosh and screen?

If they couldn't reach, would they move towards them? Perhaps they could shout?

It's not quite as simple as that. myspace and friends reunited had users, but when facebook came along people took one last look back at the older, shittier sites and went "uh, yeah, bye" and jumped ship.

It's a better editor.

Regarding the message "Chances are, you're behind a firewall or proxy, or clicked the Back button to accidentally reuse a form. Please try again. If the problem persists, and all other options have been tried, contact the site administrator." you get when you post a comment sometimes. I wonder if this message has EVER been an accurate description of what's happened, rather than someone who can type, typing a short message then pressing send.

"Ahhh, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone...All the shitty shows are gone, all the idiots screaming in the fucking wind are dead, I love it...leaving nothing but a cool, beautiful serenity called Arizona Bay. That's right, when L.A. falls in the fucking ocean and is flushed away, all it will leave is Arizona Bay." - Bill Hicks.

cons: their stuff looks really boring or really shit. I know a lot of people go on about the design, but you know what feeling of "uh...wow" when you see something they did 10 years ago and remember it looking a lot better. i get that when it's new. it just looks like a obvious, cheesy "this is what stuff will look like in the future".

Who cares? The download differences (a few minutes instead of a few seconds) offsets the tedium of sorting out dependency problems. The size difference is a few pennies - who gives a shit about that?

"An entire distro distributed as Snap package is plain suicidal."

Huh?

maybe it's because they're stupid,ugly things and nobody wants them. Or can you find anything else on the market which is popular but where only one company is producing them (a category, not a brand - don't say "iPhone").
