My daughter, who has a hearing defect, was prescribed a listening program that only worked on - Windows 95.
She was pretty freaked out by them at the time and, ten years later, she still says she remembers the screams although she can't remember what was on the videos.
Since she can only remember the screams, I am assuming the videos fixed the hearing defect she had?
What? When did that happen to any scale. Conversation tends to be better when are telling the truth and dealing with the main points, otherwise situations like this pop up where we have no idea what you are talking about.
Not sure why that is the case, can you elaborate? I do Outlook searches in Windows 7 from the command text box on the Start menu, inside Outlook using the box above the inbox on Windows 8 (that is an area Microsoft failed in; the search from the OS does not include data inside of Outlook); and inside of Outlook on the mac. In every case it is less than a second and I have 9,000 emails on average in the inbox, and 20,000+ across all folders including an archive.pst file.
What do you see?
Thanks Bill Gates - you seem a little salty since you left Microsoft, is that Wife driving you crazy? You make a semi-decent point about the potential distraction, and like I told somebody else on this thread a moment ago, I do not like that Outlook mail data is not in the search results. I may have better focus that you, as I do not get distracted by the metro home screen when searching, but I can see where a person could.
Yep, and that is all in Windows 8. The only thing I see in Windows 8 that slows me down is the fact that Outlook emails do not show up in search results like they did in Windows 7. FOr some reason, even with Outlook 2013 Microsoft is not providing a contract between Outlook and data and general Windows search (Hit the Windows key and type a string that would be in an email and a file, it only shows the file).
Otherwise it is about as good as Windows 7 for real work; though I cannot say it is markedly better. And I have a Windows laptop (Fujitsu tablet) but I use it more like a laptop, s Surface RT, and a Acer tablet (W500) with Windows 8 pro).
Seriously, I don't... I still have my keyboard from 1993 because these new ones stink.
More seriously - I use my computer for work. Not kids, not watching videos, not games, WORK. Windows XP/7 is better at getting work done than Windows 8.
Hopefully microsoft pulls their heads out of their butts on this and allows a quick setting change to "I have no use for metro, thanks."
So do I - real work. I do not play games on a PC; prefer a 4:3 aspect if I can get it because no movies, etc. I do not even listen to music. But real work is generally done in applications like Word, Excel, AutoCAD, ERP, etc. Not the Windows operating system, but the apps loaded from it. Beyond loading an app, or managing files, what other real work is done in the Operating system? Very little. And I find Windows 8 about as good for that Windows 7. Plus it loads faster and finds printers nearby.
Seems to me that the states shouldn't be trying to deal with the taxes on this, and instead congress should be doing it under the mantle of "Regulating Interstate Commerce". Pass a law that says all sellers must collect and report both federal and state income tax on sales as if the sale were occurring at the buyer's physical location, or the location to which the product is delivered. (Whichever is easier to make into an enforceable law).
Simple, clean, unambiguous, very few loopholes, and understandable to customers.
It is anything BUT clean - it is a complete mess for businesses to try and figure out what tax to charge and who it gets sent to. It is not just 50 states, it is as you suggested the buyer's physical location, so every other tax on top also must be calculated, collected, and paid to the local parish, county, city, district, etc. And add in some audits by each of these taxing authorities. Paying local taxes is is easy when Mom and Pop hardware is selling to it's walk in customers, they pay the city, county, state and federal govt. And it is almost workable for a large corporation that pays for a top tier ERP system and adds a tool like vertex (expensive and must be maintained by a team). But your proposal just cut off any small - medium business that wants to sell beyond the physical locations they occupy. I hep you like Walmart, because they and others sized like them will be your online provider of products.
I do not know why the parent was modded to -1; I was in the military for 12 years and also happen to highly value privacy of personal information and freedoms, and freedom of speech. But there is a necessity of trust in the military that is essential to the mission, and he knowingly broke that trust.
You just have to distinguish between the faith you mentioned when you said "Religion indoctrinates people into accepting things without proof, to forego critical thinking for statements from "authority"." (since faith is accepting things without proof) and the faith required to believe in something you did not see (like the original evolution of the universe without seeing that).
My assumption is that neither is provable by evidence. So both require acceptance without proof, that is all.
I watched it on my second gen apple TV and it was fine except for occasionally there would be a lag more likely due to my Time Warner cable modem. All in all the great experience in some decent looking products coming out
Other than a funny car radio reference, this was the funniest thing I have seen on Slashdot, how is this not +5 funny? I had mod points over the weekend, wish I still had a few.

I am bundling up and heading out! Which line do I stand in to buy one?

Another way the studios could have asked this was to change the entire nature of the internet, since that is the whole purpose of links.

I said original state...from nothing.
Really? Prove evolution by reproducing it in its original effect and document that so I can also reproduce it.
Then for the rest of your statement, Galatians 3:28.
Stop being so ignorant and start thinking and studying for yourself, we will all be better off.

Right, because technology from 70 YEARS ago is so meaningful today.
I just had my coffee come out my nose, that was funny!

What was ignorant? Other than an erroneous reference to fetal instead of embryonic, what part of what that OP said was ignorant?
"In an effort to get ever more taxes for doing absolutely nothing"
That is the most insightful summary...ever

Completely agree, I knew just what door to open, where the enemy would be, etc. Pretty cool.
Well said.
Awesome point, thanks!
