(a) Except as otherwise provided in this title, whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention, within the United States or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent.
The "uses" part covers customers who have bought the infringing product. It is not common to go after the customers but it is legal and there are examples.
Windows 98 had USB support. Also, what relevance does NT4 have to do anything? Most of its development was done before the USB 1.0 spec was even finished. So it's pretty silly to bring it up at all.
Which doesn't really work out. If every 5 years it was only 2 more years behind it would have already had USB since that would only put it 6 years behind (since it's only around 16 years old). Which would mean it would have more than "initial support" since even USB 2.0 came out 12 years ago.
I'm not seeing what your post has to do with what I said. I was saying if I have to use an IMAP client to get a usable interface for Gmail, why even keep the Gmail account since the whole point of Gmail is the web interface and the storage on Google's servers.
Moore's law which states that computing power (not necessarily transistors) will double every 18 months.
Wrong. This is what Moore actually said:
The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year... Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years. That means by 1975, the number of components per integrated circuit for minimum cost will be 65,000. I believe that such a large circuit can be built on a single wafer.
Notice how it says nothing about "computing power".

The you clearly haven't read the law.
Section 271 of Title 35:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this title, whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention, within the United States or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent.

By using the crack that all the pirates do.

Because using Windows requires you to buy Photoshop and Microsoft Office? Since when?
Or you can just run Windows in VM?
2 years behind? Only "initial support" for USB devices? That's more tahn 15 years behind the times.
You clearly missed the joke.
Whoosh.
Free? So they're going to pay me back the ad revenue they generate?

If I have to do that what's the point of even having a Gmail account? Nothing as far as I can see.
You don't have to use it... yet. But you will eventually be forced to use it.
The announcement notes that if you aren't interested in the new view, you can switch off all the tabs to go back to the classic inbox view.
Uh huh. Until they decide otherwise and force it on people like they did with the current redesign.

VMs are a perfect solution for advanced computer systems management training.
Which is not what is being taught.
I teach Python and C++ to high school students
He's teaching them to program in Python and C++ not system administration.
Opera has been free in price since 2000 and ad-free since 2005.
It's meant to be an impediment. Being reasonable has nothing to do with it.
Yes, which is still probably more than 10 times faster than most people's Internet connection.
Since when is MySQL no longer supported?

You've probably read about Quirky in one of many articles that read like valentines to the company and the concept.
Nope, never heard of it before today I read plenty of news.
