Agenda, no, but sharing a common belief system? Sure.
Evangelical Christians (who love a good doomsday story) are vastly over-represented among the scientists writing the climate doomsday fanfiction.

I've earnt $200k+ with upwork, all of it with the time tracker.
An hour worked and logged, is an hour paid. No ifs, buts, maybes or discussion.
No clients have ever had questions about the screenshots, I assume they review them.
It's a good system that serves the interests of both parties.
I much prefer using the tracker. It takes as long as it takes, and I get paid for it. Win.
I should also note that fees go down significantly once you do 1/10k with a client.
Upwork have looked after me very well and always pay on time.
I doubt a significant %o f those hating on upwork and freelance gigs in general have ever logged any hours.
Drug companies aren't under any obligation to supply India, or anyone else for that matter.
What sort of insanity makes you believe they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts ?
The drug companies and US healthcare system are price gouging and ripping you off, simple as that.
I must sound like an MS shill in this thread, but it annoys me to see so much hate for what I think is their best OS in years.
The consistent interface across ALL ms products, from office live, office 2013 desktop, skydrive etc, is pretty impressive IMO.
The UI changes to various products and services should be understood in that context.
If you want something to complain about, target the office 2013 color schemes. White-on-white, or grey-on-grey. It's terrible. And no, you can't change it, even via registry hacks (I would love to be proved wrong on this though).
Win8 installed to a bootable desktop in 10 minutes, on my 3 year old laptop.
It's a much better OS than Vista and 7, and unless you're allergic to change I can't see why you'd want to stick with previous versions.
RE: Start menu
Do you know you can type the name of the program, or area of the settings you're after?
Geeks should love this, since it's much easier to operate with the keyboard than previous versions of windows. Searching by typing a few letters vs hunting through menus is easier, period.

> metro
I'm not a huge fan, so I don't use metro apps. I have played around with a few from the app store, and the potential for great software is there. IF you don't like metro, don't use it.
Personally I think windows 8 is fantastic. Yes some things have changed, get with the program.
The huge performance improvements and streamlining of the OS make up for any discomfort.
Like someone else has said, it's a shame the underlying improvements are lost in all noise from people whinging about some GUI changes.
Maybe a silly question, but are there any monitors around similar in size to a (17"+) laptop monitor, that could be lugged around and used as a 2nd monitor ?
I imagine most people who want 2 monitors on a laptop are happy to settle for 'reasonably portable'.
I always have a look at the dual screen laptops that come up, but I'd be just as happy to plug in an extra screen if it solved the same problem.
I went to newgrounds yesterday with my Nokia n97 (on wifi) to try and play vector TD. The site is way too heavy for my phone to handle, and I gave up after 10 minutes of click, wait, wait, chug chug.
I think that flash games on the mobile could definitely work, but in most cases it's going to require a change to the games, as they're just not made to work with low-end hardware and touch
I'm a dyke... do you really think a few mods on some backwater geek website is going to deter me from continuing to call you people out for your sexist bullshit?
I don't see you "calling anyone out" on anything, however you do seem touchy about gender issues. Moreover, I don't see what relevance your sexual preference has to the discussion.
If you want to use redmine (or some of the other software mentioned below) on windows, bitnami have a stand-alone package for this. Just run the setup.exe and you'll be live in 5 minutes.

Rapidshare, if told about it, will remove files that infringe on copyright though.

It's not DMCA, but the result is basically the same.
They will also fingerprint/hash files and remove such files proactively in future.
Rapidshare make their money selling premium subscriptions. For the free downloads, they show ads, which I'm sure will be something other than google in very short order. I'm quite surprised they are using adsense at all really.
I've found that logitech wireless keyboards are quite laggy once you start typing over 80~ WPM.
I have a Mx3200 keyboard sitting in the cupboard here because it's just too frustrating to wait for it to catch up.
The mouse is fantastic though.

That's an awful lot of money...on the flipside, it's a f*cking henious act.
I'm a capitalist, and known for being callous, but I would never, ever, ever, entertain such a thought. That's just so hideously wrong, I can't even empathise enough to see where you're coming from. Never in '$100 million' years.

Win-R still works fine. Win-X is a shortcut menu for administrative tools.

True. Copying the raw files with Any DVD, then compressing with handbrake worked well for me.

Yes you can. Costs From $2-7/1000.
OP is totally correct with this.

Other than the cashflow benefits of not paying things immediately, I honestly can't see what benefit they have over other payment methods.
Time it takes me to get $$$ from a US check: 3-6 weeks.
Time it takes a wire transfer from anywhere else; 1-8 days max.

mylifeorganized.net - awesome windows task list app.
This app addresses your stated problem directly. I use it myself for professional and personal tasks. You can export as XML and sync with outlook too.

COMINDWORK - my personal favourite

Assembla - would appeal to the slashdot crowd IMO
Group-Office groupware - Very slick. Also has outlook plugin.

Personally I'll be voting for the pirate party giving preferences to the sex party in the next federal election.
And no, I didn't vote for Rudd in the first place either.
Are there any existing groups dedicated to opposing this ?
I'd like to do something constructive to help make sure this sort of BS doesn't end up as national policy.
Conroy, if nothing else, is persistent, so the problem isn't going to go away after 1-2 rounds of failure.
