Instantly what I thought too. HN "M$" haters don't like your logic because it doesn't feed their hate.

> The first update is being pushed out today, and the company said that other Android handset manufacturers are planning to follow suit and provide monthly updates to carriers.
Says right in the article that LG and Samsung are on board for monthly security patches as well. What's your little percentage rating at now?
Nexus 4 is receiving updates, it is just about 3 years old now.
A few days ago, I held her iPhone 6 for the first time since she got it a month or two ago. I felt like I was holding the greatest piece of mobile technology in existence, except I knew it ran iOS and only iOS.
Not sure what the fuss is about, the same old rule applies: if you want your data to be private, don't use any form of cloud services - server based voice/video chat, cloud storage services (google drive, skydrive, icloud), digital assistants (siri, cortana, google now), any contextual based delivered services which "learns" anything about you to provide you with any form of automated and/or dynamic experience.
If you want to be treated like you live in a box, then you're going to have to live by it.
Everyone complaining and "fed up", closing their MSDN accounts, boycotting MSFT products - you're in an echo chamber which won't be heard as our devices become more service oriented rather than boxed solutions. MSFT is trying to stay relevant, not undermine their massive user base. Whether it is right or wrong, I don't have an opinion on, but if you think MSFT is a pioneer in this space, you're being unjustly biased.
I guess the only thing we can complain about is that we aren't given a "closed/boxed" solution and able to accept the TOS to services we want on an adhoc basis - we have to go and disable services and hope that the TOS we agreed to needn't apply.
Perhaps these are growing pains for the direction services are heading because we shouldn't have to accept invasion of privacy as a default.
I remember some of these products as being wretched, and Word was our saviour, even with it's terrible formatting sometimes.
Perhaps these are growing pains for the direction services are heading, or we'll just learn to accept invasion of privacy as a default.

The rule is just a rough guideline to FAT loss, little different than weight loss.
And like you said, the "plateau" effect doesn't negate the "rule", it only really reaffirms that fat loss will require that calorie deficit.
Dear god this site is wretched.
Wondering why a custom built solution was such a pain to maintain to the author - he mentions updates, but once you have a working system, no real reason to update unless there is a feature or security issue that needs to be addressed.
And they link directly to Wikipedia, driving traffic to their site, so they're not really wrongfully stealing the data.
Damn, I wish the FCC or CRTC would put the ban hammer down and force mobile service contracts to be adjusted based on the retail price of the phone. I just don't understand how they stand to gain so much when a customer chooses to get a cheaper device.
The selection is low, but the Nexus lines have served many well. I'm super excited to see some new phones later this year. (i hope)
North America is accustomed to overpaying for their mobile phones and services so much that they can get the most expensive device for next to nothing because they sign a 2 year contract with a telecommunications provider who's plans are nothing short of gouging.
Now the real question is, how come no one is competing with iPhone dollar wise? I would love to see someone come out with a top-end $900 Android phone that is as stunning as an iPhone. It seems Android hardware vendors are more tuned in to bloating the OS with gimmicky features rather than creating tier 1 hardware.
If what you say is true, Docker would be a great way to do development through SSH on a VPS with minimal RAM and resources. I'll definitely take a look at it.
As a solo coder, I love vagrant - the whole nature that you can use a configuration file with a script or two to build out an entire VM has so many benefits. Less time to build the VM, easily destroy the entire VM, easily rebuild the entire VM, save drive space by destroying the VM when you don't need it, keep the VM configuration in a git repo, distribute the configuration to someone else to use, and the best is having all the steps used to configure the VM are documented in the config file and scripts.
The reason given is "parked domain".
Edit: I am referring to the bitbin.de domain
Lathering the Proraso takes seconds, rinse my brush with really hot water and put some hot water in the Proraso tub for a few seconds before dumping it out. Swirl around the brush for a few seconds and it's good to go.
I typically wait until my facial hair is pretty thick before shaving too. I use Jack Black's Face buff in the shower, then Jack Black's Beard Lube and layer Proraso on top of it. I'd be interested how well my shave would be if I used the same method with a cartridge.
Dollar Shave Club comes around as is able to mimic that concept, but hits a middle ground between a low-margin and mainstream marketed solutions.
The irony in all of this is that the Dollar Shave Club is still too expensive when compared to my safety razor that costs me about 10 cents per shave. So it is actually more like the mainstream solutions they're trying to undermine than not.
Back in the day, before automated tape readers, tapes were stored in silos, like a library, and employees would find the cataloged tapes and manually retrieve and load them into tape readers. My company use to hire co-ops to do this back in the 70s or so.
