That was my original idea for the blurb: “tell me you’ve never written a real application without telling me you’ve never written an application.”
I wonder at these opinion columnists at times.

I find his reasons strange, but SQL *is* a pretty clunky way for applications to interact with databases. For analysts, it is fine.

So what is the command line to make it a 'chartreuse' screen of death? And that command better have at least five esoteric switches. Bonus points if some of them directly affect everyday things in the OS.

As long as the QR code is white on blue, I'm happy.
(Lots of people are not aware that white on blue is shown in numerous practical tests to provide the highest level of readability. IBM didn't chose it at random, but for a very good reason. Black on yellow competes with white on blue, and a few tests show it to be better, but they are very close. So black on yellow traffic signs is not randomly chosen, either.)

If you study computer science you don't learn how to ensure quality standards in software. We can fix that later then

If you study language, you don't learn how to ensure quality books in literature.

Opinion: HP's printer business practices have infuriated users for years. What's worse: reviled or detested?

I had an HP InkJet printer about thirty years ago, but that's it. I spent more on ink for cleaning than on actual printing, and eventually the nozzles got completely gummed up. No more InkJets for me!
OTOH, their ProBook line of laptops is OK - reasonably sturdy, not too heavy, and do everything that I need them to do.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I have a Z-Book at work and yes, they are fine.
But I had a friend with an normal HP Laptop and it refused to boot up from other CDs that were not the HP Recovery they delivered in the box, what for me is a no go.

read the article, I feel the user pain, HP? As braindead as MS - focused on milking customers with dubious claims then locking you in. The comments are the most hilarious, here is my favorite:
"I was briefly excited before I read the article and discovered it was just marketing people huffing their own farts again."
Dear marketing and CFO types - if customers say this about what you are doing, you are doing it wrong. I think I will go pet my Brother laser printer now.
