I agree with you. Musk is a complicated person (smell...?). I kinda put him in the same box as Steve Jobs. They are very crappy in some ways, but you cannot argue with what they have achieved. Would we have a 'space race' like w

I agree with you. I actually tried to run Win 2000 as an OS on my personal machine for a while (from a license I 'borrowed' from my work). The stability was amazing, but there were still some compatibility issues with games and s

Or you can use powershell . Joking aside, as a relatively newbie to the star nix world and liking it - shell scripting in Linux/Unix is broken. The object handling approach that powershell provides just seem to be a better approach.

I disagree quite strongly. KDE is more aligned to the classic desktop environment that most people are used to and familiar with. For me, I really prefer KDE over Gnome. Gnome seems to do what Windows is trying to do, and they are failing

You must be a troll. To deny the blatant human rights (women...? Gay...?) in places like Qatar and go "but what about?" is ridiculous.

Well, you don't keep on taunting the tiger. Even though you maybe right in him not having the right to eat you, what are you going to do?

Interesting thoughts. But does this warrant unarmed, senior citizens, to go through the reported abuse?

While I get where you are coming from, realistically speaking we do have to accept the "extortion" that comes with having a governing body. I am happy to hand over my tax Rands (Dollars), provided me and my fellow citizens can be

I am a South African. We have lived through some of the most draconian Orwellian autocratic measures in the world. Furthermore, our journey to democracy has not been smooth - the last 10 years were marred by massive corruption. Through al

I suppose, thinking about how the world has changed in the last couple of decades, we have to reconsider your rights to have access to your electronic data. I cannot make any payments, read any emails, access any data, etc, without my phon

I think this is my first post on HN, but have been a long time lurker. That aside. Your point around ecosystems is interesting to me. As a wannabee coder I'm always trying new things. Most of my code was in PowerShell although I did

It is an investment in the future. Education is the silver bullet. I don't really understand why this is so hard to grasp for people. Perhaps its because the pay-off isn't in the next quarter, or year, or even 5 years. But over

I'm in two minds on this. As a user, it does irritate me that I'm forced to put all my work on hold to install updates. However, as a security professional, I think the general population doesn't understand just how critical
