Just because a patch was issued doesn't mean every single system was patched and that there won't be countless people still running a vulnerable version.
Because HDDs aren't the past and aren't going away anytime soon? It's no different than the fact that 3.5" floppies and tape drives and tapes are still sold despite being proclaimed as being "the past" and dead.
There have been plenty of instances where known non-patched privelege escalation exploits in Windows went unpatched by Microsoft for years. (One I'm thinking of in particular affected GDI).
Your case might be more persuasive if you actually linked to them rather than a vague claim of "plenty of instances". If there were so many, you could link to at least a couple, no?
Then you would be wrong. Youtube, for one, has been using H.264 for more than a couple of years. Other sites like Vimeo, etc also use it. In fact they use x264 for encoding their videos.
Would some of us like to see it more popular than, say, Flash to serve up video? Sure. But that's not the way it is now.
"Flash" isn't a video codec. Flash has supported H.264 video since 2007.
To suggest it's the most adopted is wishful thinking.
No, it just shows that your ignorant of what you speak.
The Air has a base starting price of about what I payed for my enhanced (memory and hard disk) MacBook Pro 13", and it has a smaller screen and no built-in optical drive.
Bullshit. The Air has a 13.3" screen.
Air: 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display with support for millions of colors.
The Air isn't a "smaller" model comparable to say an iPod to an iPod Nano or say this 7" iPad to a full-size iPad.
Yeah, except they aren't. Based on what history do you claim that this is a "high" chance? Name a single product where they have released a smaller size version that was more expensive than the full size? Oh wait, you can't. Hurp durp!
Oh and as a side note, the current state of the field in biological evolution has long since moved past the works of Darwin. Your remark is about as disingenuous as trying to use the failings of Newton's classical mechanics to make criticisms of the current state of quantum mechanics.
as opposed to those who are satisfied with the theory that life evolved from inorganic chemical compounds, totally by chance, with a series of ininitely improbable events occurring in the right sequence over and over and over again.
What a lovely caricature you've constructed there. Secondly, just like most crappy caricatures of biological evolution you also seem to conveniently gloss over the major role that natural selection plays which is not random.

And calling a two-party state from a one-party state does mean you need to follow the laws of both states.
I'm pretty sure that would fall under Federal jurisdiction.
but if the only thing you sell are spinning disk hard drives, like Western Digital and Seagate,
Oh Rly?
Yes.
specifically because the summary that was selected here is a lazy cut-and-paste of the poorly written lead of TFA itself.
But that was specifically why sampenzus picked this version. He is all about stupid. Have you not seen the rest of the shlock he posts?
Some people will probably need a car analogy to sum it all up.
However the smart hard drive vendor would realize that spinning platters are headed out the door
Like 3.5" floppies and tapes, right? Oh wait...

Except that current HDDs use a wider area of surface to write the data too as compared to this.

For what? Actual video content? I don't think so.

It isn't but that doesn't mean much if most people are going to use H.264 for HTML5 video, no?

That's cute! You have shittier reading comprehension skills than a kid in kindergarten.
Did you even bother to read the whole post or did you just stop at where it said "Windows"?

So that's why HD DVD was such a smashing success and killed off Blu-Ray? Oh wait...
You mean watching someone else in a stalker-like fashion with binoculars while hiding in their bushes?
Or that Sony had ridiculous licensing fees for Betamax either.
The jvm might be better, but if you use the wrong jvm, you risk getting sued by Oracle.
No you don't. No end users are being sued by Oracle over the Google issue. Stop intentionally spreading lies.
Whatever you say, Neo.
Because buying a GPS doesn't overcomplicate the solution to this person's dad's issue.
You are thinking about this in the wrong way... this is a protection, not a punishment.
The people who have been falsely accused of sexual abuse and have had this accusation made public would probably unanimously disagree with you.
"why should someone work under such a brittle proposition?"
They shouldn't if they don't like the terms of the contest. Since when is Netflix, or anyone else, able to force you to participate in their contests?
