Jobs gets all the accolades and fame but he was just a pushy sociopath in a suit, plenty of others could have done what he did. VERY few could have done what Wozniak did and its a damn shame that not many people outside of the tech world have heard of him.
And you wouldn't check it first particularly if it had to run as root? Oooookay.
Yeah, and? They had their parents and grandparents as examples.
Anyone who just cut and pastes a string of shell commands from some random web page or email into a terminal without checking them first frankly deserves what they get. If you're this dumb stay away from the command line.
The people working in the labs at the time would have grown up post WW2 when there was still very much a can-do attitude in the west, now , not so much. I'm not saying that was the only reason but its certainly one of them.
Some parents don't know or don't care what their kids do and this would be just another thing to screw with their kids heads.
"We don't go around banning cars to nerf the world for our children."
No, but we do ban drugs, don't sell kids cigarettes and have a minimum age for drinking for a reason - they're children, not small adults, they don't think the same way as adults and don't yet have those mental tripwires that stop them doing stupid stuff so we have to stop them doing it.
"Spawning crotchgoblins doesn't give you any special insight."
Wrong, it changes your perspective. When you're out of short trousers you may understand that.
"Raise your damn kids and stop expecting the internet to do it for ya."
Whoooshh....
"We apparently live in a world where a bot writing down sexy stories is a bigger concern than blatant bait-and-switch."
Yeah, it is. When/if you reproduce your priorities will change.
... ever thought this was a good idea in the first place?? Arn't the tech companies in enough of the brown stuff as it is without realtime AI porn being added to the mix? FFS, fire them before they do any more harm.
" There is no intelligent Life in the Universe. Anyone who believes otherwise is under-educated."
Given the universe could be infinite in extent that seems unlikely.
Hmm, a choice of thick idiots making up stories or aliens landed and hid behind walls. Tough one...
Believers gonna believe. They're not interested in rational explanations because if true it proves they're gullible idiots and no one wants to face that.
produces higher quality sperm
That's really important for the sperm destined for the septic system, sure...
You don't need avionic grade electronics for something that only lasts a few minutes after firing. I worked on an air to ground missile project and the electronics were automotive grade. Also there was the bare minimum heat shielding internally too - by the time the boards had got hot enough to fry it would have hit its target anyway or the fuel would have run out so why add extra weight.
FTA: "If you've been holding off on switching from X11 to Wayland because of Wine compatibility concerns,"
Oh yeah, *thats* the main reason people don't want to switch to wayland, nothing to do with all the myriad other issues:
Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss the one you are least interested, and say nothing about the other.
