For small purchases, the assumption is you live locally, therefore they tax you at the local rate. But larger purchase, like cars, they definitely ask you where you live and tax you accordingly.
That's what I would like to see, let's have someone put that metal jewelry and ink to use, attach a battery to your nose ring, embed an LED in your face, other cool stuff.
Ask yourself this question: Would you rather have Freedom or Security?
I choose freedom. Unfortunately I can't choose often enough because the majority in the US vote for Security, then act surprised when they lose Freedom.
While I agree with most of what you said, you also understand that if your child buys a violent video game without your permission, even if the state/country/store/vendor allows it, then you're not in control of your child, are you?
Another example, cigarettes. So what if a store can't sell them to your child. He/she can still get them somewhere else, have someone else buy them, etc. I don't really care if a store can sell my son cigarettes or not. I raise my children not to smoke, regardless of the source of the cigarette. If he/she smokes anyway, it's not the store/friend/anyone else fault, except his/her and my lake of parenting skills.
The Microsoft antitrust legislation was wrong. It was the result of stupid judges not understanding technology. Unfortunately the precedent has been set and it will be abused.
Until they can get the camera in the middle of the display, then I find it annoying to use most video phone systems. The other persons eyes are never looking right at you. Try having a face-to-face conversation while the person is looking several inches away from your eyes and it can be annoying.
Oh, wait, some women must experience every conversation that way...
I guess you've never seen one. The moon appears a brownish/orange, not black. It actually looks very similar to the full moon during a wildfire when the sky is full of ash/smoke. Or, if you live in some polluted overpopulated Asian city, every night.
Anyway, It's cool to see, at least once. I'd rather wait 10 years to see it where I live, then watch a video or travel somewhere to see it.
I have no problem with killing the animals you eat. But he is an idiot, and the current trend of elitists/celebrities/multimillionaires doing this is stupid.
But you, on the other hand, grow your own food and refuse to eat it otherwise. You grow your own cotton, raise your own sheep for their wool, make your own clothes, and refuse to wear it otherwise. Good luck with all that.
Since when do Government Agencies care how their service is? Posting a bad review about the DMV isn't going to make anyone avoid getting a driver's license.
You don't have to patch and reboot every time MS releases a patch. You would be wise to do so if you have a Windows server exposed on the Internet. But if it's in a relatively safe environment then relax with the ultra-security nonsense. I have several Windows 2003 servers I patch maybe once a year, and they only get rebooted at those times, and during rare power outages, yet somehow, by some freak miracle, have I survived without getting hacked, attacked, infected, etc.
While it's not nearly as widely used as VMware or other virtualization platforms, your argument is weak. Windows 2008 R2 hardly needs a reboot.
The facts are Hyper-V is behind in features and performance than others. For example, only since 2008 R2 SP1 a few months ago do they support shared memory. Before that, if you had 10 hosts and wanted to grant each 4 GB of RAM, you needed 40 GB in your host. If you didn't have enough RAM, you couldn't boot up your guests - lack of memory. That's a serious drawback, especially since the host OS can consume memory at will. There have been times that I've shutdown a Hyper-V guest and I couldn't boot it back up because the host had done something to use a few more MB's of RAM than before.
In no way am I criticizing your post, because I think you are correct, but I think it's interesting how many others have complained about the headline using the term Failed and then include a list of successs, yet they get ripped on for not clicking the other link, not RTFA, etc
I guess when your./ ID is 5 digits, you get modded up instead of mocked
To you and all those commenters complaining about the commenters that complained about an incorrect headline, you may want to read the headline again. A better headline would be Vintage Collection of Successes and Failures.

I can't tell if you're being facetious or not.
Hopefully you are. Otherwise, good thing you posted anonymously.

That's why you should always wipe.
How about ink cartdridges? Laptop batteries? etc.
The answer is the same - money. Those darned evil companies actually enjoy it when you buy their products, over and over again.

100 mph in a LEAF? You are funny.
Yes, ask the Mormons, because they are the only ones that believe in miracles, and magnets.

Idiot.
My guess is they haven't figured out how to include ads into the translation services. It may have led to some interesting translations if they did.

You still type in URL's? So old fashioned. I just think where I want to go and, BING, I'm there!
Exchange 2010 Web Access already supports Firefox and Chrome.

If you count all the installations of Windows 2008 and R2 that include Hyper-V built-in, you get a pretty big number, whether it's used or not.

The /. headline is wrong - the iPod is on the list.
