I feel I have less of a choice in operating system than I do browsers or search. Just saying.

Perhaps the arguments made by Satya could be used against Microsoft's OS market share in the future.
I remember reading something about Japanese publishers using all caps because they don't use case in their own language. Something like that.
There should be a basic level of understanding a skillset when using a computer when using a computer is part of your job. Users shouldn't be required to fix technical issues but they should know the terminology (click the file menu, select properties..., or right-click on your desktop and select an option.
Its amazing how people use these tools daily but never learn how to use them. Imagine using saws, lathes, grinders, etc, but not knowing how to safely use them. It's the same for computers. If you don't know basic safety, you'll infect your work network with malware, encrypt important files with CryptoLocker-type malware, etc. Honestly, companies should force a base-level of competence before allowing users on the network, but a lot of the users causing issues are directors or the CEO.
There should be a computer license, like a driving license, that you need to get before you can operate computers connected to the internet in the modern world.
And it's still a brick, lol.
Or it could be like how our competition bureau is being forced to pay $13 million to Rogers Cable for inconveniencing them with an investigation when Rogers Cable decided to buy Shaw Cable. And the deal went through. Can you imagine?
I also get worse performance using a Radeon 6800 XT compared to Windows.
I remap caps to enter so that I can quickly paste and hit enter without taking my hand off my mouse. Maybe it makes more sense to have it as backspace and ctrl-caps could be enter.
The picture of father and daughter holding hands is just so incredibly sad
Interesting, I kinda figured that there was some funding by governments but not nearly enough. SE Linux I always assumed was maintained by Redhat, like many other Linux components.
That makes the Nvidia situation a little more interesting. I'd imagine other proprietary software uses GPL'd libraries, like Steam? Doesn't seem fair if only certain software is being targeted for violating the license. At the same time I'm annoyed how little Nvidia contributes back. It feels like AMD is creating open standards like Freesync while Nvidia won't let others play with their toys in the sandbox, like G-Sync.
I ran into this too. I had this RP moment where I was going to convert my character to a wizard based on where the conversation was going. I realised what was going on and pulled my character out of the conversation and went with my original idea, getting Withers to convert my character to a wizard. In my mind, that's how the story went.
Well, he technically shot the air too.
