    And why is that so important to you?

    Seriously, I don't understand why so many people think that the continuation of the human race is so important. What is your reasoning?

    I take it you failed everything to do with reading comprehension in school. We are talking about Windows XP, not 7, not 8.1, but XP.

    It will only work if you have 7 or later. You're not even a competent shill.

    I'm pretty certain that is the reason why Windows 10 includes a key-logger. That way it doesn't matter how well encrypted your communications are, they can just ask Micro$oft what you typed while that application was active.

    It does not have a pressure sensitive screen, it has a Wacom graphics tablet built into it. In order to use the pressure sensitive part you need to use the Wacom pen which has the pressure sensing parts inside it.

    Bad proofreading... MusicBrains ==> MusicBrainz

    Clementine, Tomahawk, and Amarok do all of these things as well. I personally recommend Clementine.

    If you have music files that are not well named there is MusicBrains Picard. It can do renaming, lookup based on tags, lookup based on filename, and it can do lookup based on fingerprint matching, which is far more accurate than you would expect. After you have the correct information it will save the file in the directory you specify, with the naming convention that you specify, and saves all the tag information including artwork.

    Corporate espionage maybe?

    Hell, it may even be that a very large portion of the, much larger amount of money they make in the US, is going to be spent by their wives back in India.

    Hey jojo, this air of suspicion was created directly by the policies of your beloved SJW's, not the racists, and certainly not the misogynists. It was your ilk who caused shit like this and nobody else.

    Wow. Everyone involved with creating those policies needs hung out in the street as an example to anyone who would try this dumb shit again.

    The only problem is when these people think they have been employed to actually do something and start getting in the way of the people who actually do stuff.

    And they always do.

    You mean that you believe what you have been told. The "research" you have looked at is extremely biased to favor gun confiscation. No other research on guns has been allowed in the US or any other western country for over 100 years.

    When watching from the outside it is rather funny watching retards begging the government to take away every means they have to protect themselves. It isn't so funny when those retards are your neighbors begging the government to take away every means you have to protect yourself though.

  20. They're not worried about that. Both people already have phones in their pockets to listen to the conversation on.

  21. Micro$oft has nothing but contempt for their users.

  22. Get a Brother all-in-one printer, they work great with Linux. There are some permission issues you have to setup for the scanner though. You have to add your user to the xsane and lp groups if I remember correctly.

    chip makers are treating 10g+ link circuitry like diamonds

    So, they're artificially inflating the price and creating manufactured scarcity of something that has very low intrinsic worth in order to make massive profits off of it?
    Sounds about right to me. We have had gigabit switches available to consumers for over a decade and everything faster than that is still considered business grade. All the while the price has not dropped in any significant manner on gigabit switches or anything faster than that.
