Metro itself, isn't a terrible idea, its the way they implemented it that we hate. If Metro had been done like OSX App Store and Launchpad, NO ONE would be complaining.
And Gatekeeper can be easily turned off. I ran it on for about 10 minutes after I installed Mountain Lion. Also, you NEVER see the Apple App store unless you invoke it purposefully..
I don't care what the company does, my government should not be asking for that data in the first place. I expect them to show restraint and abide by the law we charge them with upholding. 'Thou shalt not troll for crime amongst the citizenry' should be an oath every LEO takes. O wait they already do when they swear to uphold the Constitution.... My government shouldn't be compiling lists and connections and vast meta data on its citizenry. Saying 'bad people do bad things' is not an acceptable excuse.
Mass surveilling the contacts, connections and communications of every U.S citizen is fundamentally opposed to the 4th amendment. This is a serious and immediate threat to the The People and the road to tyranny. Any U.S. citizen should have standing to question and demand the end of these programs.
This is a very wrong precedent. ANY US CITIZEN has standing against his government acting this way. TO tell me I have no standing while they blatantly and with malice ignore the the 4th is absolute bullshit. The instant they broke the law, I became an injured party. Ignoring the 4th is breaking the law, no matter how 'legal' you make it.
Unacceptable to maintain we can be at war for 20-40 years. Its time to pull back and re-assess. Is this the kind country you want to live in? We are always at war with Eurasia?
Because we arent already in La-La land? Operating a concentration camp is the fuckin fairy tale/nightmare. It SHOULD NOT EXIST. It is immoral and wrong at every turn and you defend it.
Not in the slightest. Under your rules no citizen could ever approach another citizen and confront them about their behavior. I have the legal right to approach and speak to anyone i wish in public. Someone simply following someone in NO WAY constitutes assault.
Barbossa: There are a lot of long words in there, Miss; we're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Elizabeth: I want you to leave and never come back.
Barbossa: I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no".
The problem is, hes right. Professionalism can be dressed up abuse too. Being 'professional; you can still be vile, mean, nasty, and cruel, just with a smile on your face and calm demeanor.
And? IM sorry did you have a point? Some people get their rocks off climbing arbitrary points on a map (Everest). Linus likes to be mean to people who are stupid....
You dont understand Evolution at all. Its not about the individual actors, but the ability for a species to carve out a niche and reproduce successfully in a given environment. Even if he is pants-on-head retarded, he is still old enough to have reproduced, thus Evolution was successful for him.
Is he not Commander-in-Chief? Order the soldiers to leave the base, problem solved. No amount of excuses make up for the fact that we are holding people without trial. As President he can ORDER the abandonment of the base, Congress can pick up the pieces.
I was talking about RT. Surface Pro is a nice piece of kit, even if it comes with Win 8. I am actually waiting on the Haswell refresh before i look into a Surface Pro, but its on my radar for sure.
Microsoft's understanding of the market is what is unreasonable. This thing should be dirt cheap. It is badly engineered and for the realities of the current market. RT was MS doing what MS always does, pulling its deformed dick out and expecting us to marvel at it.

Why would he have to reverse engineer it? The designs are property of the United States citizenry.

I am the government, it acts in OUR NAME. I am harmed when my agent acts contrary to the rules we have set forth for it.

SO when does the war end?

IN most human enterprise, people who can perform exceptionally well are often given a pass. We do it everyday for sports heroes, why not Linus?

Thus the 'badly engineered' part. MS made a product that cannot survive in the current ecosystem. Bad design.
That Ivy Bridge Celeron comes with VT-x and much stronger graphics as well. I have played Bioshock Infinite on my Celeron 1610 (33 fps 720p/low)
R.I.P. WebOS.
Plays for Sure , god i love the schadenfreude that whole fiasco provides me to this day. I knew the instant it was announced it was doomed to failure.

Sony does not like supporting their computers. Dont buy them, no matter how sexy their hardware is.
