Legal visitors who pay for treatment are not the issue here, dude. Nor are illegal visitors who pay for treatment. Nor are legal visitors who end up not paying for treatment. Nor are illegal visitors who end up not paying for treatment.
The issue is illegal residents who demand to be treated for free, in such numbers that paying, legal citizens/residents/visitors receive poorer care, have longer waits, or are denied care.
The same thing holds true for the economy, the jobs market, and the criminal justice system.
Screaming "bigot" is usually the first thing a bigot does when confronted with a view they don't agree with. The actual bigotry lies in demanding special rights and treatment for this group while blindly rejecting any calls for logic or fairness.
XP exists if you want, and yes, you can still get the retail version. If it's not pre-installed on the PC of your choice, simply ask the OEM to give it to you. They will happily comply most of the time.
They people who aren't buying Windows now are the same people who never buy Windows.
As you can see, ANY OEM can easily ship systems with XP. Dell still does. At no extra cost on many systems. Dell. The fucking largest OEM there is. So stop fucking lying.
PEGGY: What we're about to see is British comedy. You may not understand all of it at first, because it's more sophisticated than what we're used to. BOBBY: That man is wearing a dress. PEGGY: Exactly.
How is it bigotry to suggest that American hospitals should be used for the Americans who pay for them?
Especially if there is the possibility of them becoming full (there isn't, this whole swine flu bullshit is retarded, and the WHO has lost 50 DKP for whoring it out).
Bigotry is suggesting that one group of people should be allowed to illegally enter a foreign nation to receive free medical treatment, education, etc. at the expense (monetary, lack of medical resources, increased crime, etc.) of the actual citizens of that nation.
But ALL of the chips of that series from that time frame are BROKEN.
Engineering reports? From whom? Nvidia NEVER admitted to the problem outside of the "a small limited batch of parts" bullshit. They fucking LIED nonstop and said it didn't affect other parts (such as the G92) when it did.
Hell, theinq busted out an electron microscope to fucking prove it.
You send cores BACK to nVidia to be repackaged? WTF is this shit?
Anyone smart enough to set the system up for the idiots should be smart enough to disable all unnecessary shit that could pose a problem. In fact, it's their job.
Of course, the easiest thing is to buy hardware without the unnecessary shit in the first place.
They probably have CONTRACTS with Akamai. You know, CONTRACTS that state something along th elines of "You gotta give us ur moneys all teh time you do major content delivery.".
Uh, yeah, and it's present in the 9000 series. You're running on the G92, and all of those are built with the shitty broken process, EXCEPT for some of the later ones, maybe.
Nvidia pushed out the good (non-broken) 9000 series parts towards the end of the 9000 series life cycle, but made NO INDICATION (either by name, note on the box, or by SKU) as to which parts were good and which were bad.
If you picked up a 9000 series part late in the 9000 series' life cycle, you were playing roulette with old stock and new good parts.
The 8800 GT was on the 65 nm process, and is fucking broken. It was also the "OMG BEST VALUE" card that everyone got hyped up for.
The 8800 GTS and 8800 GTS 112 (second revision) were on the 90nm process, but are just binnings of the GTX/Ultra, and also have higher failure rates, especially the second revision (nothing like the 65nm parts though, lol).
And some of the earlier low-level 200 series, since they were just rebadged, renamed, and remarketed leftovers from the broken 9000 series.
(Yes, all of the 9000 series is broken. ALL of it.)
ISPs are behaving in a way that prefers one service over another, and prefers their services over that of competitors, which they carry since they are a infrastructure service.
This may not be confined to the "net", but ISPs sure as hell are non-neutral with regards to services provided over the net. Therefore, it's a fucking net neutrality issue. Bandwidth fines are just a way to perpetuate the bullshit while claiming net neutrality. It's a fucking extension of the same collusive, monopolistic shit that the DOJ should be investigating.
Internet Explorer is bundled by default? "BURN THEM!"
ISPs falsely advertising their service, and actually being anti-competitive with regards to other services? "GUYS SHUT UP. This isn't about net neutrality so there's nothing wrong with it. This is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. We should stop having this discussion and we should splinter our focus between the 2 issues to make our voices less impactful."
ISPs are acting in a non-neutral way with regards to their services (provided over the net and not) and those of competing services (which are provided over the net).

How is this a troll? It's a factual correction the parent, which is more of a troll (suggesting MS needs a new PR department).
Oh /., you fucking piece of shit.
You said people weren't buying Vista.
Therfore, those people wouldn't be looking to replace their non-existent Vista with XP, would they?
In case you haven't noticed, DELL is the largest OEM there is, and they still offer plenty of XP options.
Walmart?
Go to?
Let's look at their in-store items:

XP!
XP exists if you want, and yes, you can still get the retail version. If it's not pre-installed on the PC of your choice, simply ask the OEM to give it to you. They will happily comply most of the time.
They're fine too, why wouldn't they be?
Who the fuck keeps tech magazines in business?
Seriously?
"I know tons of people who aren't buying Vista, and since they stopped selling xp, people just aren't buying windows."
Odd.
They're still selling XP from what I can tell.
They people who aren't buying Windows now are the same people who never buy Windows.
As you can see, ANY OEM can easily ship systems with XP. Dell still does. At no extra cost on many systems. Dell. The fucking largest OEM there is. So stop fucking lying.

"The computers that were infected weren't hooked to the internet, they were hooked to a network that was hooked to the internet."
So, they were hooked up to the internet.
Physical separation people. It's the ONLY way.
They would still have been unable to upgrade/patch/etc.
The issue is the support contracts say "DO NOT TOUCH!".

Some of these same parts were again rebadged as the lower-end 200 series, since the 9000 series died off. See here:

Did YOU not pay attention to all the news?
All 65 nm and 55 nm parts during that time frame were broken. FUCKING BROKEN.
The 8800 GT was on the 65 nm process, and is fucking broken. It was also the "OMG BEST VALUE" card that everyone got hyped up for.
The 8800 GTS and 8800 GTS 112 (second revision) were on the 90nm process, but are just binnings of the GTX/Ultra, and also have higher failure rates, especially the second revision (nothing like the 65nm parts though, lol).

(Yes, all of the 9000 series is broken. ALL of it.)
If you want "normal" cards get a motherboard with built-in shit.
Cheaper, less shit to fail, less power consumption, less clutter in the case, etc.

Dunno, just a guess.
If you want to find shit out, use the free advanced tools MS (System Internals?) provides.
Process Monitor, I think it's called.

You know, buttons.
