Comment Re:More IBM vaporware (Score 2) 19

OS/2 had no security features needed for multiuser support. It might as well have been classic MacOS. Citrix had a multiuser version of OS/2 with security tacked on, but it wasn't a realistic solution and was never popular. Building an OS without security was the moronic decision that killed it. Plus IBM never did anything meaningful to promote it so nobody cared. That it was used anywhere (especially in ATMs) was a horrible decision itself because of the lack of security features and has created untold woes. Maybe nobody ever got fired because they bought IBM, but they should have.

It is neither right or wrong

It's wrong. The processor has a feature. People will reasonably assume they can use that feature. Then they find out it's disabled.

assuming the features or lack thereof is declared upfront.

If that declaration is not in the largest font size used in the materials then it's hidden.

Worth researching the history of vaccinations. The first polio vaccine, for instance, killed and maimed thousands of children, yet there was the government pressuring everyone to take it.

We eventually perfected it, yes, but all that means is we were experimenting on the public under the guise of "public health".

Yeah, that was a big goof, thanks for understanding.

Apple is capable of hiring talented people and creating a useful product. They just don't seem to be capable of being user-friendly in the ways that matter to me. TBH they were never great at it, and MUGs did the heavy lifting in the customer relations department for them for free. Anyway I'm totally capable of believing their performance claims, to a reasonable point, especially when the results aren't putting them first.

I wish they were friendlier, because their hardware is reasonably impressive. I'm also just not in their target demographic apparently because I'd rather have a slightly thicker device with better cooling and battery capacity.

True, if you're concerned about diabetes, then you are 100% correct.

Otherwise...meh. Pasta is a good carb, particularly for those that do a lot of cardio or weights ( or both! ). And for the most part, you really can't eat too much fruit. I know I know, it has a ton of simple carbs, but it also has a ton of water and fiber. For a health, semi-active adult, fruit is fine.

Juiced is a different story, and I agree with that, but things like apple sauce ( as long as they contain the whole fruit ) are perfectly fine.
