Right, people were outraged Microsoft installed a.net plugin but it is ok for Ubuntu to datamine my Firefox activities because it is free and I need to pay for it somehow. That is basically what the OP was saying. Thats bullshit.
WTF. Way to give Mozilla a free pass because it's OSS. You know, I use both open source and closed source software but I guess I am the only one who judges both by the same standard. What an asshole I am huh.
No, Bing links to a Yahoo answers page in which the actually text of the article contains the search terms several times("Windows" once, "Mac" once, "expensive" once, and Microsoft" twice). The article google returns, while having the same title, is a techradar.com article that doesn't mention windows. The Google results article and the Bing results article. YMMV
Unfortunately, yes. If you look at the statistics the VAST majority of the 57 officers killed in 2007 were shot in the head. Only 2 were shot with rifles through their armor, one with a.308 and one with a.30-06. Linky.
Is it common for people to have a single kidney fail and survive without advanced medical treatment? I'm just trying to wrap my head around the idea that there was enough evolutionary pressure on humans with 2 kidneys surviving to reproducing age over humans with a single kidney doing the same.
We are not talking about the vast majority of police, we are talking about the officers likely to encounter someone armed with a rifle willing to use it. This is why SWAT teams and other tactical units wear at least Level IV.
Many if not most SMGs use special 9mm rounds, not standard handgun rounds. If you have a 9mm handgun, look in the manual, most forbid the use of 9mm SMG rounds.
Many people have repeated debunked this myth that powerful hand and shoulder fired guns knock people down due to force. Some people may fall down due to shock, but ask anyone who has unloaded a.357 magnum or a 12 gauge shotgun into the chest of a meth head charging at them with a knife and they will tell you about reality. 1oz of buckshot @ 1300 fps is less than twice the kinetic energy of a fastball.
Unless you're talking.50BMG when you say "high powered rifle" Level IV body armor will stop most high powered rifle rounds. I believe level III will stop most as well (in areas reinforced with ceramic plates). Also, to the GP, read Newtons laws of physics some time please.
You're correct. That the gyroscopic effect is responsible for counter-steering initiating a lean is apparently a very common misconception. In fact the heavier the wheel (and hence the more drastic the gyroscopic effect) the more effort it will take to initiate a lean.
Since your anecdote equals data, here is mine. Presenting the cars I have owned over the last 5 years;
2004 Honda Civic - 32mpg*10gal=320 miles
1999 Dodge Ram - 12mpg*20gal=240 miles
2006 Scion Tc - 24mpg*12gal=288 miles
2005 Infiniti G35 - 18mpg*16gal=288 miles
2006 Toyota Tacoma - 21mpg*18gal=378 miles
The average small car gas tank holds about 10 gallons before empty. Many of these cars get around 30mpg, especially in the city which is where the parent would be driving. SUV's typically get around 15mpg (or less) and have a 20 gallon tank. So, again, 300 miles is a good number for the average range of gasoline fueled automobiles. 400-500 mile range cars are few and far between and is a ridiculous expectation to set for electric vehicles.
#1 and 1a - We put gas stations everywhere, we can do the same for electric outlets.
#2 - Idling???? Really??? Trust me, they don't spin the motor at 1000rpm when your stopped just to keep the electrons at speed.
#3 - Unless you are going to go out of town every weekend you can rent a car for trips for much cheaper than owning a second. In fact, the savings from switching from gasoline to electricity should cover occasional rentals.
#4 - You take public transit most days, take it that day and then drive 60miles roundtrip from home to concert.
#5 - You would have to forget to plug it in twice in a row to be in trouble. The average gas car doesn't get you a full week without filling up. Your grasping at straws with this argument.
So you won't be happy until the car has a 500mile range. That's ridiculous. Current gasoline cars have around a 300mile range with many getting far less.

No, I stop reading.
Thats great as a programmer. But as a consumer, yes you should judge them the same. If you ever want the year of linux on the desktop that is.

Next time he will get a screenshot of the BSOD just for you.
I didn't understand it but it was the only word I was interested in enough to google.

Bingo Is Not Google Obviously??
The same search, "Why is Windows so expensive" in google has the "Why are Macs so expensive" page as 8th.
No it was Ubuntu,,/a> not Windows.

Word viewer 2007 works on any version of windows released in the last 9 years. I would not call windows 2000 a recent version of windows.

Dell has released updated firmware for my laptops BIOS 17 times.

I agree that PDFs are more portable but Microsoft does offer free Office document readers. FYI.
You would find it very hard to steer a bicycle or especially a motorcycle if gyroscopic forces did not exist. Counter Steering
