   I wonder why macOS, and not Mac OS? Do you have a mac or a Mac? Majority of posters here capitalize. Why glue an abbreviation to a product name?

   I think this is important in the penis enlargement era. Now I will sleep better.

   I am not against HTTPS per se. Use it for sensitive content.

   I can save about 30% of traffic by optimizing content via HTTP. Can't do that with HTTPS without MITM or similar questionable practices breaking the purpose of HTTPS. While you're sitting on a 100+ Mbps DSL, somebody in the middle

   And it's OK. This "HTTPS everywhere" concept is damaging. I think it should be revised. The amount of overhead and the lack of ability to optimize encrypted content for transferring over, say, satellite or other radio links,

   Thanks. We're Ukrainians. Getting a long-term U.S. visa is a complete quantum chromodynamics for us, a once in a lifetime decision, perhaps. We're going to go for 3 weeks, probably this summer, to try it out (planning 2 weeks in O

   Never been there, but photographs of Sydney and Melbourne I see are absolutely incredible. I wish it wasn't that far away though. It's funny to see a list of destinations and all the familiar places are ~ 20 hours flight.

   I am yet to visit SD. I forgot some additional components in my "best place to live" formula. The place has to offer freedom and opportunities for artists. I am not sure if you can call it liberal or bohemian atmosphere, or that&#

    Glad to see fellow Prague expat here! Thanks a lot for the insight. What made you to move to Prague? We go to PBS here, and I've found private schools in LA to be less expensive. So, I guess, this part of the equation is solved, assumi

    I'm thinking about moving to either Bay Area or Los Angeles with a family, from Prague. I have a 7 years old kid. I am not sure if that's the right thing. We're doing it for the climate. It's really difficult to find a w

    If they remove the file system tree I'll switch to another OS for sure. That's my red line.

    Can somebody please tell Apple to get color saturation of the GUI back to how it was in the Snow Leopard times? These Lego brick colors are HORRIBLE.

    Reading this on a 2009 MacBook Pro with SSD, working perfectly fast for my tasks, with Thinkpad T400 running FreeBSD nearby. I think they're running out of ideas why would I need to upgrade. Definitely not doing it for a new fancy UI a

    I beg to differ. It doesn't remove that many cars, really. How often do you see a bus pass by? Every 20 minutes or so? Count how many cars pass by in the same amount of time, and some of them carry multiple passengers. (I have no probl

    This reminds me of the automatic pitch correction (auto-tuning) in the recent pop music. Hopefully this will not signify the dusk of the art of acting.

    Quitting is actually very easy. I quit smoking with the help of four things: 1) genuine desire, 2) vaping, 3) Alan Carr's book and 4) bubblegums. These four were the critical ingredients for me. I think nobody can quit without having a

    Honestly, I didn't know about it. I usually don't store anything critical on the phone so I am generally not as paranoid as I should be. I just Googled they've admitted they screwed up badly. But the point is, anything can be

    Sign me in. Just purchased Lenovo A5000 instead of moving from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Why? 1) Because I feel Apple has screwed me. The iOS 8 update has turned my iPhone 4 into a brick. My phone now does everything iOS 6 did, but now it is sl

    This is so wrong. Partially because HTTP is used as a vehicle to deliver applications. This blurring of responsibilities results in the messy state the Web is going to be in. I see parallels with systemd and Linux here: poor design decision

    Agree. It is time to start boycotting Google ecosystem until it is too late. It is definitely turning into a corporation of evil. I enjoy their search but definitely despise how they spread their proprietary tentacles everywhere. Sad.
