Not so sure of that. Seems like/. had a larger mindshare tennish years ago.
Maybe this place had higher standards then, or maybe there were fewer competitors and so there were more interesting commenters here & this place seemed shinier for being different.
No, wait. Someone set us right further down - the NY "Supreme Court" is misleadingly named; there's actually several NY supreme courts, which are first-line trial courts in that state. So this is just a low-level judge who made a wacky decision.
Except this can't be the first hearing. This was decided by a justice of the New York Supreme Court, so this must have gone though a lower court or two first. There are at most two higher courts in the USA - the Federal appeals courts (don't know about this one) and the US Supreme Court.
No, you couldn't. Cygwin's always required Windows.
You may be thinking of DJGPP, which was (is) a port of gcc to 32-bit DOS (via DPMI) and also a collection of GNU utilities compiled with same. The utilities are occasionally updated.
That's Apple's business model: sell the user the device at a profit, then continue making a profit by taking 30% of the price of each app (and song, and movie) sold.
If you could run any old program on your iOS device, then Apple'd miss that 30% per app.
Meet the new Evil Empire, same as the old ones but with more fashion sense.
As it happens, the Win2K and WinXP drivers are interchangeable. You likely had problems because you were running an old driver, while you *could* have run the newer WinXP driver on Win2K without any trouble.
The sod who wrote the MSI support page was equally at fault, of course, for not knowing that either.
Or you could simply not drink over them. I've had a USB Unicomp at work for 3.5 years and never a solitary problem, but I'm not enough of a klutz to spill my drink into it all the time.
Then there's the genuine February 1988 Model M at home that I'm typing on right now, which has been in my possession for seven or eight years, a daily driver for that entire time. Never a problem.
I'll bet you that some companies will keep using XP-requiring apps even after that OS loses all security support. It'll live on in undeath in a VM that only has access to the company Intranet, most likely.

Another example of the rich having more rights than us hoi polloi, I'm afraid.
I wish I could afford flying lessons, let alone an airplane or its rent.
Don't see how you're thinking the 1st Amendment rights would go away first under the Dems.
Remember that it was under Bush that we had "free speech zones" so that he didn't have to see people that disagreed with him.
Absofuckinglutely. This is the thing about which I am most disappointed with him.
But then people wouldn't be angry or afraid.

destroy Slashdot?
It's well on the way - /. just isn't as relevant as it was years back.
KILL IT WITH FIRE.
THIS. A thousand times this. Linux cfdisk from 1999 was friendlier than that, without holding your hand overmuch.
too long; didn't read.
TFA says that this is a pseudonym.

The top court in NY is the Court of Appeals.
How do you control a four-year-old so that they don't accidentally run into shit? Your attention can't be focused on them 100% of the time anyway.

It's compressed.
That's no longer true. MS have released a patch allowing it to run on non-virtualizable processors.
This. Most of the Usenet spam I've seen lately gets posted from DejaGoogle.
It does, but that doesn't stop ignorant alarmism.

You could just say "I disagree with the judge's ruling"... oh, you did, but under the cover of a code phrase.

Noise-canceling won't work for those. They will only work for a predictably repetitive noise, such as a jet engine while you're in an airliner.
Better off to use a pair of in-canal earphones, or an inexpensive pair of shooter's earmuffs.

Luxury. 'Round here we'd buy books for just north of $100 and be lucky to get $20 back.
