Getting used to Win 7 is a little tough at first, but after you make the transition, it is amazing how much nicer it is to work with than XP. The single most obvious user facing thing is drivers. You plug something in, it works. No user interaction required at all.
Was this an obvious invention/solution? No
That is part of where the question comes in. All the tech used was already invented and known about. Of the three key pieces, OFDM was in papers from the 50s, interleaving in the 60s, and forward error correction in the late 60s. There was even a modem made on these principles sold to the US military 20 years earlier.
There's a line after Richard gets free of the old world where I finally had to put the book down. It's something like "It isn't charity to fix something you might use only once, even if other people use it. That's just enlightened self-interest!"
In reference to airline tickets, there really isn't any commission to talk about, for travel agents anyways. The thing with them is the extras; hotel rooms, cruises, all-inclusives, etc. It is a matter of building a relationship with you. Usually if a travel agent is finding a cheaper deal on an airline ticket it is using an odd fare class.

I think Microsoft still gives a bunch of free licenses for NGOs for Windows and maybe Office. Consider looking into it, as it will help you avoid a training budget.
You're entirely correct, but the Facebook reference isn't a good one for the simple reason that the Blizzard Real ID is pretty clearly marked and turning the whole thing off it is literally a single radio button. As compared to Facebook's labyrinth of menus to go through to figure it out.
Not blaming the OS at all. However, it is a reality and a fact. It is should that should be considered when choosing an OS. How often do we hear here on Slashdot "Well, I'd use Linux, but I play games and don't want to dual boot"
I love how they have a category for Entertainment and Bundled Apps, refuse to mention actual games and only focus on things that Microsoft would be sued for putting into their OS.
A concealed permit is for carrying a concealed weapon. If whatever country/state he is in does not allow people to carry loaded weapons openly, he's committed a crime and will be losing his CCW.
Great quote from Thomas Jefferson:
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State."
Scientific researchers don't update their software to play games on it. Also, Sony has said they will be selling a version without the ability to play games for users such as this. Please think before you post.

They are MUCH closer than 1 per km. http://palmsprings.com/service...

And yet World of Warcraft remains one of the biggest games in the world.

A dozen PS3s linked up is probably close enough.
Easier to require a government accessible back door. To stop the terrorists.

You're the same kind of person who swears by the $700 dollar speaker cables, then in a blind test thinks the coathanger sounds the best.

It has already been changed. Suddenly, all news articles there now say "This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:"

You can turn it off 100% now with this change. Go to the same page the article mentions to change the settings and you can just turn it off.

California Penal Code 484 defines theft, in part, as taking another person's labor fraudulently. He did not pay the game company for their labor.
You're still a thief.

Sounds like exactly what happened to Microsoft in Europe with Opera running crying.
Starter Edition is only for people in third world countries.
He was very firmly anti-slavery... except for, you know, owning slaves.

Sony has also repeatedly said they are working for a 10 year console life. They don't need to replace it yet.

It was also a great opportunity to waste $10m at a time when Germany is about ready to get bent over to pay for the useless Greeks.
