Read these two paragraphs from near the end of the article.
Whether you believe it's to avoid fragmentation or to spy on you depends on how much pot you smoked in college, but it now appears to have gone from 'over keen' to 'needy' and you have to wonder why and whether it's going to blow up in the company's face.
It should be enough of a clue that over 10 percent of Windows machines are still on XP and Vista, while there's over 40 percent more of the market on 7 than on 8, to be able to tell that people don't like to assume.
What does the second paragraph actually say?
Even if we take out the middle, it's strange.

No. It is no defense at all.It's more like "The horrible situation you are trying to blame on only one group, is something that every group has done, including the group you want to be seen as 'the victim'. So any argument you make for modern compensation for past injustices better at least acknowledge reality, or your hypocrisy will make it moot."
As to your attempt at figuring out my intent, it is far from crying "Bobby did it too." I am fine with the US ceding entire states to the native tribes who lived in certain areas. Unhitch Washington and Oregon and cede them to the tribes who once lived there. Same for the Carolinas, Arizona, Minnesota, and a few others. Cut the ends off of California and Florida, and give Mt Shasta and the Everglades back. This wouldn't bother me in the least, as compensation for past injustices. But I'm not going to make it seem like that is simply another example of how evil white people are, and every other race is their innocent victims.
So, in closing, you should maybe figure out what someone is actually saying before jumping to conclusions.
I wish you were logged in so I could keep track of the truly ignorant people on this site.
fightingfilipino limited his argument to the US, I responded that my argument encompasses slavery in it entirety. Maybe you should get your eyes checked, because that part was pretty clear.
As for (racists) (oh no, someone on slashdot called me a name, boo hoo) you are ignorant once again. Before I got married, I dated women that were white, black, hispanic, asian, or native american. My wife is not the same race I am. The group of friends I hang out with also runs the gamut of ethnicities.
So, yo are 0 for 2 in your attempts to teach me a lesson. Now hurry up and finish breakfast, the bus will be here soon to take you to school. And when you get to school, remember, the sign on the door says "PULL".
Actually, I'm sure most of the people in the country don't call it anything, because it's not in their backyard. As for me, I called it Mt McKinley when stating what the tallest mountain peak in the US is. Other than that point, it wasn't on my radar either.
It doesn't matter to me what the mountain is called. I'll never see it, since I hope to never see snow again in my life.:^)
I just thought that your argument was weak in the regard I mentioned. Please don't take it too personally, as most of the arguments in this discussion are weak in similar fashion.
Did I say I'm opposed to it? I think it is more useless political bullshit, but I don't care either way. I'm not from Alaska or Ohio, and have no stake in this other than taxwise (money spent to change textbooks and maps, etc.). I'm just stating what I think Obama would do if the mountain had been named for a white Democrat instead of a white Republican.

Please help me become enlightened.
Respectually,
The New Guy.
You home-schooled kids are so funny.
I usually take a knife or scissors to that hood in those cases, and give it a circumcision.
Technically, the same is true of the carbon of fossil fuels, just in a longer time frame.
how much other damage has the usa caused per capitia due to your 5% of the population using 20% of global resources?
Well, brain damage in anonymous cowards, for one.
Ok Teckla, you have been called out by an AC to prove you experienced the actions you claimed.
Be here behind the school at 6 o'clock with the proof, or be branded a liar for eternity!
Actually, I saw it on a TV show long time ago. One of the 'slow' characters asked that question, and it's always stuck in my mind. :^)
How do we know there aren't galaxies beyond our ability to see them already?
You poor lost soul.
If they are called USSR, why do their Olympic athletes have CCCP on their outfits?
Since when does the ballot limit itself to 2 candidates?
To be fair, I had to google your posting and watch a cartoon duck video to make sure you caught on. :^)

And what I am saying is that it is a derogatory term that is aimed at people of any color that act in a certain way.
So now we know you support renaming features that the natives already named, and you are just arguing about where to draw the line.

So what you are saying is that only blacks are niggers.
Apparently you have to R more FAs.

Dad, I thought you couldn't read slashdot at work anymore. Ever since they caught you jerking off to Natalie Portman posts.
By the way, mom says get the butt plug out of your ass before coming home. Her bull has a treat for you.
A paid operating system included features that prevented competitors' programs to run on it. Oh the humanity!
A paid operating system included a memory optimization program that was a copy of a competitor's paid memory optimization program. Oh the humanity!
If the paid operating system's maker had only ever abused it's monopoly by offering a free web browser, no one would have cared.
It's interesting that you think President Bill Clinton and Representative Barney Frank "got all Libertarian" when they did that.
You're right, the Wintel regime of Microsoft and Intel were not free, unlike Google.
