To clarify, OS X was descended from NeXTSTEP, which was built on Mach and BSD.

If I remember correctly, the Good Omens version of Famine is also responsible for obesity, the authors noting how people tend to consume empty carbohydrates and fats with little to none nutritional value, making people who are obese and paradoxically enough, malnourished at the same time.

Shut up, Donald. It would be way worse if it hits the USA, because at least in Mexico, people are not afraid of taking the kids to the doctor and get them vaccinated.

Our socialized medical care is far from perfect, but people don't have to go into debt for a hospital visit.

Within minutes of this article going live, I had an Apple Maos car drive by me in Toronto. Coincidence? Most definitely.

Thanks for bringing /. back. All the best in the future. I, and many others, will be there for it.

FYI, I am currently a Linux sysadmin, working for a 100% Linux shop. Outside my gaming rig, I've run Linux for about 20 years. Longer than I've had my /. account. And I believe it is the first time I've been called a shill, and I've had my post down voted as Flamebait.

It really doesn't change the fact Microsoft announced this move one year ago. I'm not sure what you and the other snowflakes on this site were expecting.

Anyway, probably my last post on /. I am too old for online arguments.

A while back Microsoft made the announcement that Skylake will be the last CPU generation they will support with Windows 7 and 8.

Not exactly a surprise they actually followed through on their promise.

Frankenstein G3? With my D852 (yes, the canadian one) All i had to do is flash to an early rootable lollipop, and then root. Once rooted, I installed TWRP 2.8.7 bootloader (now upgraded to 3.0.0), and have been flashing CM13 nightlies to my hearts content. Not sure what you are talking about with bits and pieces from different android versions.

That is precisely my setup. And if you'd look into it a bit deeper, you would see that your bootloader is KK, modem is 20x or 21x, or LL, and that finally CM13 is MM.

The ONLY bootloader that is bumped (i.e. rootable) is the KK one, so you have to be running it. LG patched the later ones.

For those of us that do not sync with Google, or as is my case, do not have any Google services or apps, the new messaging app is worse than the previous one.

The CM12 messaging app allowed all SMS/MMS to be exported as a zip file, that could be imported to another phone, or to the same phone after a clean wipe. The CM13 messaging app is missing this functionality, and I could not find another one that would replicate it.

Otherwise, CM13 is pretty solid. I've been running the nightlies since they came out on an LG G3 d852, which is a bit of a crappy phone, and it is much more stable than CM12. I do like the new camera app, as it has a lot more functionality than the old one, and the OS overall is a bit more polished.

YMMV, as it really depends on the hardware. I'm sure on a Nexus 5p or 6x, CM13 is stellar. On my frankenstein LG G3, it's ok, as I am forced to run a KK bootloader (only rootable bootloader), a LL modem (most recent modem released by the Canadian carriers) and a MM CM13 OS.

Sprout a brain. The US "warns" the world about China, Russia, Iran, and pretty much EVERY nation who dares to try to achieve anything unless they're a member of the "Five Eyes." The US is so fucking paranoid it is disgusting, and every single excuse that there is to post a "warning" about the achievements of other nations, Slashdot's "editors" do so.

I don't worry about China's space efforts. I worry about those of the U.S. Which nation has invaded countries and been at war for the vast majority of it's history?

Such a search only "works" in the minds of a few people because they have a navel-gazing mindset that presumes all data is managed by a select group of companies they know about, and which are hosted by one country (usually the US in these narrow-minded viewpoints.)

In reality there are hundreds of thousands of service providers around the world, and you'd have to scan them all. Even Google mail is a drop in the bucket compared to the oceans of emails floating around the world.

No, this is in the US. It is fueled by one thing and one thing only: GREED.

As with all synthetic cannabis, side-effects may include death... :(
