   Lots of FUD here. Please see cwyers's answer on this page to see that a ruling in favor of Oracle will change little in terms of where software stands today. Almost all the use cases we see are fair use- except Google's where they

   Well said. There is a lot of hard-work that goes in defining the right API. Question for you since you sound knowledgeable: If Oracle wins- can Linux in some way enforce this on Microsoft given Microsoft's work on WSL? Or is that appli

   Does anybody knowledgeable know how hard would it be to patch the same linux kernel with per-application permissions? I know there is some 'OS' doing it but I am looking for a WSL like solution- 'patch' the existing kern

   That's such an insulting thing to say without really pointing out any substantial problems? I may hate their practices but their dev tools have always been absolutely top-notch within their (locked down) garden. No company has ever co

   Thank you! That's probably the simplest possible explanation. "Related like electricity and magnetism are". How far is it from the "actual reality"? Would you (or anybody else) try giving a more difficult explanatio

   Call me when they actually start caring about end users and ship ublock origin by default and stop their ad 'experiments'. And I am a Firefox user. Since 2006. But because they are the least bad browser (by far). Not because they

    - OneNote hands down beats everything else for me. Foe scratchpad I use the unfiled notes section. This is where all the shares go by default. I do wish they would bring some kind of hash-tagging.

    You put everything in a way that someone with high school physics can mostly understand the issue. Would it be possible for you (or anyone else) to explain what is merging of forces? Or is it beyond high school?

    This seems like unnecessary denigration of what is a very respectable job that provides more direct service than a federal work and probably more satisfaction to the worker

    Microsoft, apple and google, Intel are pretty much at the forefront of information technology and/or electronic technology. Tesla is a great auto tech company. What are you talking about?

    Windows has always been easier to install than Linux lol. Also wmi's have existed forever. Most Windows specific knowledge is found closed with enterprise sysadmins and not shared out in the open- who should be blamed is your choice. I

    Can I install MS office using scoop? Or other proprietary software that usually install globally and need admin permissions? Choco can do that (not that I am affiliated). Also, I like my "path being polluted". The least these prog

    Thank you- I do care a lot about performance. About S.js, wow, that does look amazingly simple- just my type. I went through your comments (sorry if that's not appropriate) and it seemed to me that you're mostly into electronics.
