I've been using Windows 8 on my Thinkpad X60, and I find the Metro Interface horrible to use. You have to use the slider bar to move across. I mean, they couldn't figure out a way to scroll like the iPad or Android tabs? Windows 8 is Junk!
I have been testing Windows 8 on my tablet PC for months now, and it's been a horrible experience. The interface is very cumbersome. It's difficult to find your programs and settings without a real Start Menu, and why have two different browsers (Metro and Desktop)? Also, any computer with an Intel Chipset of 865-965 is not fully supported (most PC's from a few years ago). Startup is fast, but some applications will not work properly unless you do a full restart. Oh, and the stylus keyboard only shows up when using the Metro Apps, you have to manually bring up the keyboad when using the desktop apps. And who thought of making it so hard to access the shutdown menu? What were they thinking?
Hitler was bent on world domination. Anyone sick enough to burn millions of people without remorse, would probably be reckless with nukes. How many other Hitler wannabees are out there?
My guess is that the Universe is infinite in size, both small and large. When you reach limits beyond what we can detect, most physicists refer to it as - another dimension.
Well, since money is really just a promissory note, you need some kind of secure guarantee for people to make transactions. Either a system like PayPal, or something that is very difficult to counterfeit. I sort of like using PayPal, because not only is it difficult to counterfeit, but anyone doing so can be traced. If our currency was very secure, it would probably reduce inflation increases, and wasteful spending. But then, the bad guys will always overcome this with high value commodities like Gold, Diamonds, even Drugs.
Oh, other bad thing about money, it's dirty, and can spread germs/disease. I always sanitize my hands after handling money.
What you fail to understand, is that we are being taxed all the time for stupid shit none of us asked for. Look at your monthly bills, they add stupid tax shit that I never heard of - School tax etc. Corporations and local governments do it, now the federal government is doing it. And it's not nickles and dimes, it's big TAX increases to pay for the worthless leeches who horde all our resources. I'm sick of paying for everyone else. You to want to ask for donations, fine, but don't steal my money just because I said NO!
So how is it fair that an American Citizen must pay healthcare or pay a fine, but an illegal doesn't have to pay anything. That's like me having to pay car Insurance when I drive, but an illegal can get away without it. We wouldn't be in this situation if we simply denied people who are not citizens - Healthcare. It's gotten to the point, that the Government is now forced to make more people pay, because too many others have horded the system.
It's simple, it's called American Citizenship! If I go to the hospital and end up with a medical bill, I pay it or it goes on my credit. And if I'm a dead beat who doesn't pay his bills, then I get fined, or no service. Same goes for driving without insurance, I pay a penalty, but no one is forced to pay for something regardless if they use it.
And soon, we will all be required to have Life Insurance, at least to pay for burial. Because we all die at some point, and I'm not allowed to make my own choices, the Government must do it for me!
What if I don't drive a car, should we be forced to buy insurance anyway? That's what the government is basically doing with healthcare. Buy it or pay a tax, no choice!
I still have a choice, to buy or not buy Auto Insurance. If I don't drive a car, I don't need auto insurance. With Health Care, they want to force you to buy it,regardless if you want it! Our freedom of choice is being diminished!
In the near future, the moment someone is born, they will be required to buy - Health Insurance, Auto Insurance, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, Unemployment Insurance, etc. etc. Everyone will have such a huge price tag on their head, we will all be slaves to the government to pay for our existence.

So how is this any different than Auto Insurance? If another driver hits my car, and he has no insurance, who pays? Will everyone be required to have Auto Insurance regardless if they want it? This is just the beginning of the slippery slope.

Hitler with nukes! How would that have played out?
If someone is crazy enough to blow themselves up, I'm sure they won't mind blowing up the rest of us!
Yea, what about hiroshima and nagasaki, was that just Beta Testing?
Doesn't mater how powerful a gun someone has, they will eventually find reason to use it.

They should just call it what it really is "Everyone will pay an increase in TAXES for Socialized Medicine", there, no confusion about it.

Sounds like slavery. We exist, therefore we owe the Government to continue existing!
Oh, so this is a living tax then. The moment your born, you owe Uncle Sam, unless your an illegal, then you owe nothing.

The reason Health Insurance is so expensive, is because we allow illegal's to horde our resources, without any courtesy for those who pay for it.
