The usual story burglary victims hear is that they'll likely never get their stuff back. I can install a GPS transmitter inside one of my computers or my guitar. As a ham radio operator, I can use APRS which is trackable almost anywhere. Very interesting.
So there are laws which dictate which hard drives and/or appliances store data relative to the OS? They can still be in the same room if that's the concern but if there are laws that actually say "x, y, and z must be stored on the same partition as the operating system" then I say they get what they deserve and perhaps those laws need to be re-examined.
Google has a history of constantly tweaking their applications to the point of breaking them and/or making them less useful. There is a reason why the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" exists. The only thing they seem to get right is search. Yeah, Maps and Earth work well, unless your using Linux or an Android smartphone. Maybe they should focus on fixing bugs instead of creating new ones.
I doubt this is an issue for most people. They're used to long URLs, they've been around for decades now. Google is just arrogant. They make buggy software and they're constantly looking for ways to change things (gotta keep all those worker bees busy) and they end up making their software worse (like Google Maps). There are many reasons why I prefer Firefox over Chrome and this will be one more to add to my list. My only worry is Mozilla's latest "me too!!" push to make Firefox look like Chrome. God help me if it starts acting like Chrome.
What the fly does naturally requires the use of calculus to mimick artificially. Seems pretty natural to me. The laws of physics and mathematics are inseperable.
I have (2) Commodore 1541 5.25" floppy drives made in the 80s and they both still work. The floppy disks I bought years ago were already a decade or three old and they still work fine.
Install a TV tuner card and record it yourself. Media Center is the main reason I have a Windows 7 machine in the house, for this very purpose. Set it to record whatever you want and it works.
I should clarify that I've never understood it because I've never seen it named or defined so i've been trying to figure them out on my own. At least now I know what it's called and I can find some literature on it.
This part got my attention: "Just gotta check out the man page.... And that's where I stopped, every time. I've yet to truly understand Extended Backus-Naur Form, and my eyes would glaze over." - Finally! I'm not the only one! I've always had this problem too. At least now I know what it's called. The formatting used has never made sense to me. Thankfully, we have the internet where I can google examples when trying to learn a new command.
I don't cheat and nor do I tolerate software sticking its nose in business other than it's own and my DNS records are none of anyone's business,regardless of what they use it for.
So you go back to step 1: the problem is badly described. The Systems Development Lifecycle dictates that you, as the new help solve the problem. Start at wherever there is trouble. In the scenario you describe, it looks like we need to go back to step one fix the root problem: it is badly described. We cannot build any system to high user satisfaction that is badly described. One can only start over and build from scratch. If that's not possible, we will have to break the problem down into manageable parts and dig deeper for root causes and solutions.
Maybe you should have presented YOUR solution. Telling the boss "no I won't do it" will get you nowhere. Telling him "Look at my better way of doing it" will get their attention. The best lesson I've learned in business is to never take a problem to my boss unless I bring with me a solution to solve it. If you can't solve the problem, find someone who can, or else the boss will. Business needs are not going to change.
Is this to say that the Earth's climate has gone through natural changes over the centuries? Warming and cooling? All by itself?! I thought global warming - I mean - climate change - was caused by man burning fossil fuels.

I'm pretty sure most if not all American retailers will take it back too.

Well said. Dumbing-down technology will likely have the same effect as dumbing-down education. Dumber people!
Looking at Windows 8, I think you mean the current Microsoft.

Congratulations! Out of 16 posts so far, yours is the first one that's actually ON TOPIC.
...accountants, engineers, and all the other professionals who must stay current in their training.

Because age discrimination is alive and well (not to mention rather blatant in this field) thanks to the fact that it's almost impossible to prove.

I was thinking about signing up. Not anymore.

How very ethical of you. Someone caught doing that should be sued.
THIS. 1000 x. Mod this up, AC or not.
We will not have "driverless cars". Ever.

Say it isn't so.
