Further, what percentage of these machines are running pirated copies of WinXP?
Why should how WinXP was acquired matter in the least? Microsoft, by hook or by crook, wanted a monopoly and they got it. It is their responsibility to maintain it.
When I visited China, computer security didn't seem to be one of the top priorities among the computer users, so the majority of the population might just not care much about updates.
Given all the NSA spying stories in the news recently, I'm sure there is a possibility this will change in the future. Just another example of the cure being worse than the disease, actually. Of all the routes the US could have chosen to follow, becomming facist was the worst it could have chosen.
You don't think a uselesss AMBER alert should be bitched about? Even the people who take these things seriously are going to lose interest when they overly broad.
Yeah, I guess you can't blame them from trying to extend their near monopoly of the desktop to tablets and phones. Still, you have to wonder how long it will take Microsoft to accept the inevitable and start playing nice with everyone else? It really would is sad to think they are willing to commit suicide to preserve their lock-in. Oh well, what will be will be.
Why haven't we developed bits with ten or more states instead of two? This is something I've always wondered. Wouldn't that increase memory density and reduce the complexities involved with conversions from decimal to binary and back?
I love camping, but having worked nightshift for the last 30 years and most likely will do the same for the rest of my carreer, this explains why I feel so out of sorts whenever I go.
The problem isn't cost, the problem is you have a world where they dictate who gets to sleep with whom! Would you believe that they actually have enough power to have laws enacted that would force me to marry their daughter rather than to allow me to marry who I want to? Really now, WTF is that?
So the claimed "experts" have no idea if the meaning of the languages were changed with such subleties by gestures? You can't know a thing is so without having experienced the thing.
It's pretty obvious that anyone seeking to avoid monitoring has something to hide. For what other reason would you hide something if not to commit a crime?
As long as it reduces the number of stories about the "no such agency", all is good. Seriously, did you really think anyone was going to allow students to investigate real hacking opportunities?
Not sure I see a problem with that. Afterall, a reseller is a reseller is a reseller. Seems to me that it encourages creativity and innovation in those who wish to avoid the tax.
Ironic how often that those people who tend to accept pundit's statements at face value apply the term sheeple to others, isn't it? Anyway, Japan was pretty content to remain isolated until forced to open up to foreign relations.
Just where did you get that data point!? Most everything I've seen retail wise has Intel graphics inside while few come with NVidia's stuff, and those that do come at a premium price.

I bet at least 3/4 of those xp machines in china are running illegal/bootleg copies anyway.
What does it matter if the copies are bootleg are legit? The software is Microsoft's and Microsoft's credibility is on the line here.

Pirated/hacked copies and Linux...
The ability to hack Linux is by design. Releasing the current version of Windows at a price the market can afford would only benefit Microsoft.

When your government calls on you to protect your freedoms, you must give up your freedoms to answer its call! How else are the free to remain free?

From the link you provided, I believe I'm thinking more of a multi-level cell with ten states instead of four.

Eventually those who don't understand maths will be freed of being slaves to those that do. Could this be the first step?
Didn't Asimov write a whole series about the Foundation of your thoughts? In many ways context is the key to understanding.
A ship navigator has real world experience to draw upon.
So the claimed "experts" have no idea if the meaning of the languages were changed with such subleties by gestures? You can't know a thing is so without having experienced the thing.
Being that women can cum dozens of times in a single session and men only three or so, your lack of ability would only be seen as normal to most.
It's pretty obvious that anyone seeking to avoid monitoring has something to hide. For what other reason would you hide something if not to commit a crime?
How can one claim expertise in a subject one has never experienced?

EVERY pundit in the West told the sheeple...

NVidia, who own the 50% of the GPU market...
Just where did you get that data point!? Most everything I've seen retail wise has Intel graphics inside while few come with NVidia's stuff, and those that do come at a premium price.
PS yeah, I know I could Google to refresh my memory, but then there wouldn't be much of a convo.
"Convos" concerning facts are much more insightful than "Convos" concerning speculations, so exert yourself and google away.
Those who want locked down hardware are already buying Apple's shit.
There is a difference?
