.02% to .04% is a HUUUUUGE market boost...

$99/year is a common marketing tactic for these type of deals. Considering MS Office is $149/yr for EVERYTHING that's no such a bad deal if I get my OS+Office for a low price.

  It's a business expense, write it off on your taxes folks, I do it every year and save a fortune.

I get lifetime upgrades for my OS, full support, full office, straight up professional support for $10/mo or $99/yr? I'm in. It's a small price to pay to keep all my PC's going strong and not have to worry about going EOL and buying a new OS license every 2-3 years.

It'll come down to the price and if it's feasible on the wallet.

like a mechanic? You don't say.

It is? Seriously? Which CxO thought up THAT braintrust idea?

Since when? Oh people still browse without an AdBlocker. Silly people.

I had to check our AWS systems as I was curious

All our systems are on 4.9 which is a bit more than CentOS 7 but not fully into RH8 land.

I wonder how long it will be till AWS pushes out 4.11.

This is a thing? This is needed? Why? Why not keep the firmware on the car updated more often so you don't have some tard with a bluetooth dongle open up the door in your 100k BMW?

Youtube has massive examples of this and it's more the blame of the Car Manufacturers than anything else for shitty programming.

debit cards are tied to one of the major vendors. You COULD get one from your bank as an ATM card but that's getting harder and harder to do.

There's no way in hell to manage any form payment system without having one of the big 4 as a vendor and support. Paypal is getting closer.

Without a credit card we are back to paper billing, bank transfers, trading in fucking seashells.

"BUT WHUT ABOUT THE BITCOINZ!?!?!"

Not until I can pay my water bill with bitcoins will it be ready for mass consumption. Once Bitcoin reaches the low level of utilities then it'll be ready for primetime.

That's like Terraquads of GigaRAM for sure!

When the Google reader went away I scrambled to find a replacement. Feedly is by far the best replacement of the bunch and I have paid for all their services to support them.

RSS is far from dead.

Give me more games per month on xbox live and make sure I can play them forever on xbox live. Charge an additional 9.99$/mo to give me games on release day that I can play as long as I have an active XBL account. Honestly once I beat a game there's very little reason I need to keep it on my shelf, in my system, or other type of media. I have HORDES of old games that collect and the chance of me playing .0001% of them is slim to none.

I'll take a modern service that gives me all my content+new content for a very low monthly rate.

you get an @aol.com address. I bet you can't wait to put that one on your resume....

when i worked at a major telecom all the Indian 'developers' had Master's degrees at the minimum. This would qualify them for 'highly skilled' technical jobs as the degrees themselves state as much.

Now they couldn't code worth a damn, the libraries they included in the code ballooned the code base, and god help you if you needed documentation. They were some of the worst 'developers' I've ever met and 1/10 was decent enough to not build code that didn't melt the servers down. The whole reason we had a team of 5 System Admins supporting 2 floors of developers was because of their shoddy coding skills. It was great job security.
