"working jobs we hate so we can buy sh!t we don't need"This. Thanks fodder.
If anyone has kept up with current trends in development, you know that the "open web" is a complete joke.
and I don't quite think Apple has that locked, not yet.
I don't pay attention to such moan lisa rants. I personally found no bitter experience on linux for 6 months of full switching. I can't imagine my time with OSX and Windows for 6 months without suckin at all. OSx and Win are crap for me, that's all. :p-mahesh2k (August 30, 2012, 03:42 PM)
Then you rule.
I 50% gave up on Linux because I can only retain tech details for like 3-6 months, maybe a year if I am lucky, and my last company never used them so it became one too many projects to keep in my feeble head. :/-TaoPhoenix (August 30, 2012, 03:53 PM)
Perhaps you want to read something like this (Atheism and Mass Murder)*conservepedia when you refer to dangerous.As for delusion, unfortunately Richard Dawkins at the end of his life will discover to his eternal horror how deluded he really was.
The same comment applies to those who believe similarly.Divine threat or something?
There is no other divinely inspired book.
...? Where did Apple come into this?Read:Google+ Apple fanboys, People who like their way of thinking are restricting content for users on other browsers than chrome. Not even midori was supported for the site mentioned earlier.
Well, yes and no.It works under chrome. I tried it. It doesn't work on midori which is webkit based. They are likely to be detecting the browser and then showing the snap page.
Barney, I don't go with the views from the comments and blogs, however I do feel their frustration. These days I do the testing for linux on my own before making strong opinion. The thing with linux commentary on the internet is that whether it's windows fan or mac fanatic, they will always think linux is just not ready or they will just remark on linux for their own agenda. I do understand that there are still some issues with old hardware but I personally found that windows also lacks for supporting them in the same way.Wireless support for debian and it;s child distros (ubuntu, mint etc) works just fine in india. If it works in india, I wonder what stops it from not working in united states. Hell, not even so called unixes, BSDs have this much plug and play support for the internet devices here in India. Almost any 3G/4G device in India is supported under debian without much hassle.
I don't know why wireless access should be an issue. If Indians are in position to switch to linux despite slow network and other hardware issues, I don't think people in US and Canada will have any trouble on connectivity end. Most of the time If it's USB device plugged for connectivity, there is hardly anything you have to worry about it on linux.-mahesh2k (August 14, 2012, 09:17 PM)
While I can appreciate the sentiment (and am somewhat envious, btw), that's not always the case here. While I suspect it is provider dependent, I don't really have anything to support that opinion. Nonetheless, what I (and many others, according to forae & blogs) have experienced is that it requires significant effort to get wireless- or even cabled - networking working (somehow, networking working just sounds wrong). Not everyone has that problem, of course, but may of us do. In fact, I've on occasion had problems getting even USB to work. Now, that may be due to the really crappy network interface that exists in the US, I don't know. Or it could be OEM dissuasion, again, I don't know. (But I did have a conversation with tech support once that pretty much implied that if it ain't Win or Mac, it ain't at all.) But it's a fact that many folk here have significant troubles with installation.
