Comment Deezer and Spotify (Score 1) 316

Until recently I have been very happy with Deezer elite on my Sonos. It sounds great. Lately though, more and more content is not available on Deezer so I use Spotify. I tried Apple Music in the beginning, and found it wasn't curated as well as Deezer and Spotify. I like both services for discovering new music.

There are some respected mathematicians that will tell you that every equation is a lie. The meaning of the equals sign depends on the context. For example \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n=s means
that the limit of an associated sequence of partial sums is equal to s. This story doesn't even some close to revealing the problems with the "equals" sign.

Comment Linux vs OS X vs Windows (Score 5, Insightful) 1243

The real problem is that it is a hassle to get any operating system up and running on a machine. Microsoft solved this problem by working with manufacturers
to make sure the windows runs on their product. Apple solved this problem by only allowing their operating system to be used on machines that they sell.
Until recently there had been no solution of this sort for Linux, so people who ran linux had to be brave enough souls to fuss with the machine
so that it acts right after the operating system has been installed. Part of the reason that linux is starting to be used more on the desktop is
because manufacturers are selling the machines with linux preinstalled. I am not so sure its about perceived value, its more likely about convenience.
