You miss my point I'm not saying that people won't just say "so don't use their product" and ignore any complaints they'll roast Microsoft alive for every little quirk. People are constantly roasting Microsoft products and glossing over google's issues with statements that basically ammount to 'Question not the google the google is mighty and it shall not be questioned if you do not like what the google does then smited you shall be' It's a bit overdramatic but people need to start to question some of google's actions instead of glossing over them.
And if your error is ie related and ie won't for example open new tabs properly AND doesn't report the correct OS version? Not reporting the correct OS version from a hidden string is not something many users would be aware of. For them the link would just not work and keep telling them they have the wrong version. Not to mention if you wanted to download it for a pc that can't or doesn't get on the internet.
Cuz that's the way to go lets ignore the fact that this is a sudden unprompted and uninformed update to an already existing software which installs extra software which then uses up system resources on an unchangeable schedule.
It has nothing to do with installing the software and everything to do with a major change in policy with no warning. If Microsoft makes a change like this people never say "so don't use their product" they wail on and on about user rights. Google on the other hand is defended like a religion.
I did until I figured out how to remove the firefox from the string from the firefox search bar (firefox is filtered in urls at work along with chrome and a few others). If you form your query correctly it's not bad and if google suddenly became a isp filtered pay to search mess then it would be replaced with a similar product rather quickly.
The point is that no service is so valuable that people can't do without it there area always alternatives. And the fact that the other services are sub par is what spurred the creation and explosive growth of google in the first place.
While connections may be monopolistic themselves the internet is a place where easy and cheap trumps big name expensive all the time. It's generally very hard to get people to pay for what they used to (and if an alternative is available still can) get for free. Even in the product isn't quite as good as the pay version.
I agree, I hate Microsoft as much as the next Linux user but seriously agreeing to change something in a beta isn't caving it's feature adjustment. The tittle of the summary is just flamebait. Windows 7 seems to be a functional Microsoft operating system for a change and people are freaking out looking for something to hate about it.
How about we stop requiring basic mathematics via paper and pencil in grades higher than 6 (US). If you don't understand it by that point you'll probably always be useless without the assistance of a machine to calculate. I know a lot of people are afraid of technological Armageddon but seriously if we don't start to integrate computer knowledge and effective use of computational devices into our basic learning structures we're going to be stuck on the one great discovery/advancement per century time line.
In order to advance our society we need to teach people to use tools. Too many students spend their entire time in school learning "The Basics" without ever being able to translate that into effectiveness with computational devices. They get taught 1+1=2 so often their eyes bleed and they never get a chance to see how effective they are with higher level mathematics and theory if a computer does that part for them.
Some paper and pencil is a good thing too much teaches people that math is monotonous and boring and to never bother doing math again once they are out of school. A lot of people will never pay attention or retain mathematical principles teaching them to use a computer/calculator to calculate things effectively would go a long way towards having the average person understand why buying a house outside your income is very bad.
But I'm rambling what I'm really trying to say is if we want effective average people we need to teach them to use the right tools. Geniuses and math freaks should still have the opportunity to utilize pen and paper and be taught this information in a more advanced class. e.g. what your calculators sq rt key does and why. So basically teach pencil and paper for basic arithmetic then all other pen and paper math as advanced tools in advanced classes. This will supply your averages with sufficient skills for everyday use and keep them on track for understanding without filling their heads with lots of common formulas they will forget in 2 years or less.
Yes, and we don't want our hunters to start using pointy sticks as they might forget how to kill a buffalo with a club or their bare hands if they get too proficient with the pointy sticks we will have a generation of people unable to bash things with a rock properly. And then we will surely be in trouble and we will all starve.
Refusing classification because the rating system lacks a suitable rating even though one exists for identical content in other media is a minor lacking in the ratings system.
If you think the two are identical then you're just trying to use paranoia to sensationalise the real problem which, as I said previously, is extremely counter-productive.
If you think that censorship can't happen simply by refusing to rate something you live if your own special world. How do you think drugs became illegal in the U.S. it all started with stamps and while we're on the subject lets go back a bit further we can see how require a special stamp aka a rating sticker can have damaging effects on all kinds of things.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The bolded section precludes any government involvement in religion as you would be indirectly prohibiting the free exercise of religions that ban involvement in other religions and/or the agents of said religions.
Well that would depend on your point of view. For someone looking at the sky or an object and light is coming in at somewhere close to a 90 degree angle then yes it is blue. For someone seeing light come onto or through the same sky or object from a significantly more obtuse/acute angle then they would say that the sky is red or maybe even orange or purple.
In the end it's important for us to remember that not everyone sees things from our point of view. And we should be aware that our experience isn't always definitive.
Because people still run 16bit apps. 64bit vista does not run 16bit apps. A lot of the 16bit apps are actually just old dll's or installer programs that they have never bothered to upgrade. If it's a true 32bit app it will run under 64bit vista. By removing the 16bit layer that is present in the 32bit version Microsoft is able to toss all legacy DOS APIs and Focus on supporting newer programs.
That's what I hate about so many instructors they seem to think they have a right to grade you on your viewpoint when all they should grade you on is your ability to clearly state your point and support your conclusions (and grammar and spelling of course). These professors wonder why people are starting to view universities as indoctrination stations when you're not even allowed to dissent in opinion in an english class.
So can a positron and an electron it's when they meet and are forced to finish the equation that things get interesting. Just because you can both love and hate someone or something doesn't mean they are not opposites especially if you think of them in terms of forces working on you. eventually one wins over and the other begins to fade.
WoW is a social skillset game it requires that in order to do your best you need to be able to get along with other people for an hour at minimum. That's not to say you can't sit there and play it by yourself but honestly that's the same as single player CS or TF you don't gain anything from it. You don't have to get along with people in a fps you just have to kill the other guy faster. There are no significant tactics in a FPS that can't be learned by a low IQ army/marine grunt. Strategy games both RTS and TBS are the thinking mans game they require that you strategize as to how best to win the battle so basically it boils down to this.
FPS = Physical Conditioning/Skill set RPG/MMORPG = Social Skill set/divisiveness RTS/TBS = Mental Skill set/Mental Response time
No hate is the opposite of love indifference is the opposite of caring. I'm really tired of seeing this complete fallacy showing up here all the time. I could care less if you think you're witty quoting Elie Wiesel. Really the man spouted some lines and followed them with. It's indifference if you spend 5 minutes thinking about what he's really saying you'd realize he's an idiot.
When dealing with animals I think your dealing more with -amory than -agamy as the latter deals with long term relationships where the prior deals mostly with the act of mating.
I think with humans though competition gets fiercer because we have something called foresight. We can predict that when a female enters the monamorous relationship she is removed from our potentials therefore getting to her first and beating out the other guys becomes more important than if relationships can shift at a whim.

I think this is probably the most correct analogy in the set. OS validation at download time is tricky at best and rarely if ever reliable.
Not to mention if the user has a corrupted user/system string in addition to whatever he's downloading a fix for...

Now you are starting to get it, a thing isn't itself except what it reflects in light from other sources.
The sky isn't blue it only appears blue due to atmospheric scattering.
