Because it's rude and antagonistic and it compels a lot of people to post to defend themselves. It's classic trolling.

You're not really helping anyone if you die because you can't afford medicine.

Yes, it is usually the case that misspellings are incorrect. :P

It is both outrageous and unsurprising. This is how these companies ("tech" startups) are incentivized to operate. It is awful to watch this cycle happen over and over and over.

My Honeywell t-stat has a schedule and a hold function which can be either timed or permanent. If you want to lock a temperature, you can tap the hold button a couple times to set it to "permanent hold" and set the temperature to

What about the other part, the vast quantities of information that will never be encrypted because the sites remain but the people have moved on or are gone ? Why does that deserve a knockout punch?

If you don't understand it, maybe it just mis reads unprofessionally.

If you had an "EMP wristwatch" that could disable even a pocket calculator (without blowing your hand off), I'd be impressed.

The other failure you need for this to happen is a line-to-output short, which is unlikely to happen in Apple's chargers, which are very well built.

Well you've convinced me, if I need to buy an OS to run Windows programs, it sure won't be MacOS.

Improved? In ways directly beneficial to their customers? I think those companies have been able to make a lot of money, but they haven't improved in any way that I care about.

Man, I hate those gas cans. I've used a bunch of different cans with "safety" nozzles, and every time I get gas on the equipment, the can, the ground, my hands, etc. They're much worse than what we had before.

That's what Lenovo said about Superfish. Nobody wants a product like that.

Oops, sorry to mislead you. I was wrong about Unix ed. I knew it had powerful regex and line addressing, I figured it had character addressing/cursor positioning too. CP/M ed has basic search and replace, but most work is done wit

Line editors aren't so bad, and the Unix ed is pretty awesome. It's easy to list and read through code, and it has powerful search-and-replace. You just have to get used to using search or cursor movement commands for making edits

My Windows dev friends seem to like it. If you're into the Microsoft ecosystem, it seems reasonable. I tried it out as an alternative to IE 11 at work (where I run Windows to do CAD and industrial automation stuff), but I returned to I

I wouldn't apply startup thinking to "most companies." Things are really weird when you're just trying to build an empire to sell it off. Obviously other companies care about growth too, but knowing that your company and

Would anyone use it? I wouldn't. Intel's embedded offerings are weak and tend to get cancelled.

It's not really a market, though. If you have decided to use Xilinx FPGAs, you're going to use Xilinx tooling. Period. For someone coming from software programming, that seems very strange. But you get over it.

But it's not just a moist finger, initial moisture doesn't matter much. It's the whole process that starts when you touch an object. That doesn't seem obvious.

Sure, it's technically right, but it's not good communication. A kid (and most adults) won't pick up on what that implies.

If Microsoft dies or abandons maintainership of some code they've released, then the free stuff is great, because we can pick up where they left off. If they just throw it over the wall and you have no hope of getting your fixes into t

"Authenticated" is debatable. Someone has spent a few minutes on a third-party website to enable the green checkbox. Whether that means they are who you think they are is another matter.
