Uh, I never said MS was evil. Paying for driver support is a good thing - it yields driver support.
I am fully support MS in all efforts to achieve achieve and maintain the outstanding level of hardware compatibility Windows provides. Compatibility is where MS wins, no fucking contest.
And MS pays heavily in terms of $, time, and raw manpower to get hardware vendors to create Windows drivers. And MS creates their own generic drivers for millions of hardware devices.
Sure - just that you won't get a virus by running Windows. I have yet (in over a decade of running my own Windows boxes) had a single machine get infected.
Lesson learned - friends don't let goobs on slashdot spew fud.
It will ALWAYS come down to the end user going "hurrr, durrr, CLICK!".
My home town nearly went to zero Kevins back in 1978.
It was a particularly cold winter, and we were already down to 3 Kevins (due to their low popularity at the time).
Kevin Thomas had flown out to be with his son's family for a wedding and got stuck in Boston for a whole week due to the weather. 2 Kevins left.
Kevin Lemmer was rushed to the hospital during my shift. I still remember the call from the EMTs as the ambulance was rushing toward us. "It's Lemmer. He's in bad shape. Drove right into the fucking ditch." We called the time of death at 6:15 PM.
At 6:16, all eyes turned to room 2217. Kevin Spencer was 82 and on his death bed with leukemia. His family being Catholic, he had already been given his last rights. If he couldn't hold out until Kevin Thomas returned, we would be at zero Kevins. Sure, we had 4 perfectly healthy Calvins, but they're just not the same.
It was 7:15 when Carla Brooks and her husband James burst through the main entrance. "She's not due for 2 weeks!", James exclaimed. As the staff bustled around getting the Brookses settled, they exchanged darting glances with each other. This was their first child, and they wanted to keep the baby's sex a secret. Of course, in a small town, secrets don't get kept. Nearly all of the hospital staff new that the child about to rip open Mrs. Brooks was indeed a boy.
The delivery was routine, and Kevin Brooks was born healthy, if a tad underweight, at 10:52 PM. Kevin Spencer was pronounced dead at 10:54.
It was, as they say, a close one. Kevin Thomas arrived two days later, the weather having finally cleared up. To this day, we still rib him about it.
First of all I just want to make sure you understand that California's economy isn't controlled by the governor. The legislature killed off any hopes of a balanced budget.
You were obviously making a joke at the expense of the state of California. but it was just unfunny and shitty.
Why not? You define an internet as two connected networks. Why are two connected networks not considered one network? Why is one machine not considered a network? Why is one machine connected to various peripherals, such as printers, not considered a network?

You're a moran.
You can easily fracture the cookie toward the middle from 4 points (at 90 degree intervals if you wish).
A single break in the center will cause you to have 4 pieces of cookie.
Try not using HOOKUM.
$1 million isn't much.
Most of those millionaires were close to being millionaires for generations.
Number of millionaires != vast majority of money.
Your IQ was "off the charts" because you were a 10 year old who wasn't a drooling moron.
IQ tests are rated by age.
If a 15 year old and a 25 year old give the same performance on the same test, the 15 year old's score is miles ahead of the 25 year old's score.
It's stupid.
It was put in place to pump out stories about child geniuses (to compete with Asia).
Rich people generally aren't intelligent.
In fact, the vast majority of them are fucking imbeciles.
The vast majority of money the rich have is old money. No need to work hard or try to learn when daddy will buy you whatever you want.
The vast majority of money the rich have that isn't old money is celebrity money. Why work hard or learn when you rake in cash for acting?
Hell, why bother acting when you have tits?
Hell, why bother directing or writing when you can just hire some tits and explosions?
In summary, rich people are stupid, because being stupid is easy, and the rich have it easy. The rest of us have to put up with their crap.
It's akin to setting your clock 5 minutes ahead so you won't be late.
It's fucking stupid and it defeats the point of the instrument.
Sucks to be you I guess.
It is up to hardware vendors to submit drivers for validation and inclusion in the OS or on Windows Updates.
MS continues to push to get vendors to step up and submit their drivers to them.
99.9% of the time, you can get a generic driver to work anyway.
I could never get my wireless card to work on any ubuntu install. Scanner either.
Uh, I never said MS was evil.

...especially in this day and age where shareware is thrown about every which way
GREAT SCOTT!
Marty! What year is it?
Doc? Is that you? What are you doing here... and now?
Yes Marty, it's me! I must've overshot the date. Now what YEAR is it?!
Doc! Calm down. It's 1991.
Oh, well, then I guess I've got some bad news. On the plus side, I should be able to stock up on floppies.
UGH.
"I" should be "you".
I was gonna write it with all "I"s, but I decided a more copy-pasta job would
You don't know that I never discovered an infection. You know that you currently cannot recall a time where you discovered an infection.
And MS pays heavily in terms of $, time, and raw manpower to get hardware vendors to create Windows drivers. And MS creates their own generic drivers for millions of hardware devices.
What's your point?
Sure - just that you won't get a virus by running Windows. I have yet (in over a decade of running my own Windows boxes) had a single machine get infected.

Cedar Falls is currently at 5 Kevins.
Easier != better.
Easier = more marketable to goobs who don't realize it's decades-old shit.
1 could be done with many wifi adapters.
2 is by design.
3 is dependent on the wifi adapter used. Windows ICS could do it too.
Just like I could do on any recent Windows OS with ICS and wireless adapters, ethernet cables, bluetooth devices, or fucking firewire.
I Heard ISPs Were Doing This With Broadband.
Simply duplicate your advertised pipe across 100 subscribers.
If they want to access it at the same time, just shift stuff around.
If they want to access it at the same time, and you don't have room to shift stuff around, just impose caps and bill them progressively out the ass.
There are 2 movies, and a respectable short for an attraction at Universal Studios, Terminator 2: 3D.
Whoosh.

They only made 2.
WTF are you talking about?
Doesn't matter.
They certainly can store all data for Bob and his friends. If you're Bob, and they're after you, you're fucked.
This doesn't beg the question:
- Do you know what "begs the question" means?
(Hint: You don't.)
You're the one advocating restrictions on freedoms.
You're the one advocating a nanny state to protect your property because you won't do it yourself.
And you are still 100% wrong.
Inalienable rights are inalienable. You can NOT be divorced from them. Ever.
Why not?
You define an internet as two connected networks.
Why are two connected networks not considered one network?
Why is one machine not considered a network?
Why is one machine connected to various peripherals, such as printers, not considered a network?
