Fair enough, I mostly meant that certain distros are more likely to support your hardware out of the box.

I cannot disagree more. 90% of the most obnoxious issues I deal with on linux are related to nasty driver incompatibilities, and you will not convince me that I should have had more experience with linux. I want my drivers to work on inst

Yeah, this works better in one on ones, but usually I don't think it is that hard, particularly if the other person respects your opinion. The trick is rather than shooting down ideas, present alternatives, and guide the other person t

You are wrong because the vast majority of people take criticism personally. It turns out that when you tell people they are wrong and present them with reasons they are wrong, a surprising number of people double down. I'm sure you ha

Ditto, I need my life to come with a disclaimer that I might be late, or not attend at all, and that it is not on purpose, and probably stems from my computer not beeping loud enough to warn me that a meeting is coming up.

Sure luck is present, but there are people that are just good at it and would probably succeed regardless. Gates, Musk and Jobs come to mind.

Flippancy, and sarcasm bother me far less than when people form very strong opinions and feel the need to express them based on the title of the article alone.

Yeah, but any post that involves bitcoin, the FBI/CIA/NSA/DOD and the darknet is bound to bring people out of the woodwork. The most interesting articles tend to have more...thoughtful comments.

Oddly enough C never bothered me. It has its purpose, and despite its flaws it still feels elegant. C++ however should be illegal. When do we get to say goodbye to it? Edit/Continuation: I feel like the freedom offered by C works becau

Sure, but the only possible side affect of eliminating smallpox was increased population growth. Different than introducing an organism who's evolution we don't control into the wild.

Very hard to verify, but you could probably dig up some related data if you tried hard enough. Possibly things like fraud reports?

Sure, to a degree, but these are different. And people that really care about clothes and/or furniture probably don't buy them sight unseen. For a lot of people, any good couch or shirt is probably good enough. But a guitar need

I agree with you 95%. But 5% of me recognizes that certain items require a test run before purchase. In my case those would be Audio equipment, instruments and tennis rackets. None of those can be confidently purchased solely on the impress

At a company I used to work for we used to get a set of these every time we made a bulk order. But the company was just four people and we made those orders 3 or 4 times a year, so eventually we were basically drowning in very well insulate

Yes, some pollution is to a degree localized, but not all of it. Don't forget that LA residents aren't somehow polluting more than their counterparts. In fact I suspect they are polluting less. It's just that they are concent

I didn't research, I just picked one at random. Please replace Texas with whatever state you like. That isn't really the point. Edit: And also, I just checked and Texas does NOT do very well on CO2 emissions per capita. Edit: Also
