Comment Re: Meanwhile on Linux... (Score 1) 78

It occurs to me, after all the mod points spent silencing me, that this is clear evidence that I in fact thought out my talking point perfectly, and nothing could be more certain proof of that fact than the childish tantrum storm it generated in all of you and your cohorts, leading to them attempting to silence the truth I had just posted, as if it could silence the thought from their minds... but it didn't, and it won't. You're stuck with the harsh truth of this fact forever.

Comment Re:What kind of hash? (Score 1) 53

First of all, I definitely am comprehending, both your fallacious argument and your attempt to gaslight me. You clearly read what I said, so you clearly understood it, then fired back with this stupid argument about a "perceptual hash" which is a fictional concept, and wouldn't be possible to actually make securely anyway.

"+5 Insightful" for that? That's bullshit, and you're a bad person.

If you type it in as "38C to F" (without the quotes) it will invoke Google Calc and give you an actual conversion interface in the summary field instead. This can also be used for arbitrary unit conversions of just about anything, even when including real math steps in the equation. It's very useful.

Comment Re:Who's providing the "incentive" to do this. (Score 2) 167

It's nothing new. Apple has been doing this to our gradeschools since the 80's. When you have any organization that's severely underfunded for a long amount of time, its key participants become increasingly susceptible to bribery.

...but the major one for me is our kids will now only be able and/or want to use Apple products...

It's not as though giving them Windows laptops, Chromebooks, or even Texas Instruments graphing calculators has a fundamentally different effect in that regard. Any company allowed to do this is effectively buying the next generation of consumers at a bargain price. That's why it shouldn't be allowed at all.
