Microsoft's two biggest earners are Office and Windows. Compared to them, the earnings from hardware sales are comparable to a grain of sand in the Sahara.
The UK has been trying to be America for some time now. We're like that scrawny kid who leans out from behind the bully, pathetically supporting everything the bully does.
Weed on the other hand made the spiders do very detailed, ornate work, but they seemed to have wandering minds, get bored and leave their webs unfinished. I don't know what OS that would correspond to.
The difference in drive access is amazing. In windows it's constant, where on a Linux machine running the same software it never even flickers. I'd swear the drive manufacturers pay them to reduce their life expectancy.
that's most likely related to indexing for full-text search
More likely the continuous defrag (when idling) that started in Vista.
Thought so - you have no clue what you're on about. Clearly you won't listen to sense, so go ahead and act like you're being victimised. Me, I'll continue to treat both the device and the service as different. Even better, I'll rest easy in the knowledge UK law states I cannot sign my rights away, even if I wanted to on any ToS.
but what if you bought a quad core computer 2 years ago, and they sent out a signal that disabled three of those cores unless you pay a monthly fee
And now you're comparing apples to Alpha Centauri. You still haven't realised that Live is an added bonus you pay for separately, so it's subject to different terms.
Bullshit. The Terms of Service are so named because they are for the XBox Live service. They have zero affect on whatever you thought you agreed too when you bought the XBox itself. If you don't like the terms, then don't pay for Live Gold.
If you had to sign an agreement of some sort when you bought the console, may I recommend a less dodgy retailer next time?

It increases focus, and doesn't decrease mobility like alcohol.
You do know there's a reason it's called, among other things, 'dope'?
You want to tell me that invisible, intangible things exist?
Like light?
sizeof(int*) == 32
Probably not legal C, but close enough.
JavaScript - slowing down the Web since 1994.
my TARDIS is busted, and worse, infested with a red-headed scottish girl with a scottish accent
FTFY
Anyway, there's a new companion now.
Maybe, but then I found this. Not what I was originally looking for, but close enough.
Don't tell Cameron though - we don't want him getting any more 'brilliant' ideas.

GNU/Hurd I think.
ejection seat, of the helicopter.
The Kamov Ka-50 has an ejector seat.
Don't worry. Obama can fix it. Just hope it with all your heart and he will change it for you.
Mitt, is that you? :P
...it's a co-orbital asteroid :)
The issue isn't the radio, but the drivers allowing themselves to be distracted by it.
Half-Life 3 is going to be exclusive for Linux

Hey SlashDot, how about some "News for Nerds" sometime soon?
Will this do?
The first steps have already been taken - see VW's City Emergency Brake. Other manufacturers are developing similar tech.
A caddy is a car carrying golf clubs.

That ozone is generated at higher altitudes ;)

So, what's your next crap argument?

Should have also added: Ha ha, stupid EU for levying huge fines on a convicted monopolist! (MS of course).
Happy to oblige:
Ha ha, stupid UK, for punishing a company for being a complete arsehole!
Of course, because having long hair stopped Brian May becoming a rock legend and getting a PhD [/sarcasm]
