Windows 7 is not a big enough step forward from Windows XP to justify the costs (and problems) that a migration would cause. As example, Windows 98 to Windows XP is a big step, so worth it to migrate.
It is because most (if not all) movies based on games only share the name with the game they claim to follow.
For example, on Doom, a Marine faces DEMONS ALONE. Absolutely nothing to do with "human infected by a virus that makes them into monsters". Remember the movie "Catwoman"? Just share the name with the comic character.
Really interesting. Each device could simply have a memory address for I/O and a set of standard instructions with the firmware taking care of the details. But I believe it should be a few cents more expensive to do so than the current method of doing everything via emulation software with minimal dedicated hardware as possible (eg, the damned winmodens)
I disagree. First that with C you can make an operating system. That for Pascal is just a dream.
And second, is EXACTLY what goes missing for today's developers, the notion that any memory allocation have a cost, which can not be lazy in controlling errors, you need to control things that can gone wrong. In few words, you need to know what you are doing, and not simply throws this to the language management. Developers are getting lazy because of these "facilities" like GC.
I think the real problem is the method used to secure the network. Encrypt the contents of entire hard drive, with the obvious risk of destroying data and / or make the desktop into a slug? The hospital's IT staff can not think of a less drastic solution?
As I say before, is only one from many possible ideas. You may not even need someone with a GPS, if you manage to put aboard one beacon device when the carrier is on the port (or one of their aircraft). And note you can put active tracking (radar, IR, pattern recognition, etc) on the missile itself, then you just need to put the missile in the right direction and let him track the target as this is within reach.
Yep. Who say I need a powerfull radar? Damn, all is needed is anyone with a GPS to "mark" the position of the target, and send this data to some ship with the launcher-container. And this is only one of many possible (and simple) ideas.

How many generations to grey post goo cover the world?
I showed that I liked the idea, and it is good enough that I have nothing to add. For me it's enough.
Good plan
Problems are incentives for creative engineers find a solution.

I believe the reason is that a text-mode BIOS is more fault tolerant than a GUI-based BIOS.

Pelicans, fish (and fishermen) do not have good, expensive lawyers
I think this is proof that lawyers are not intelligent life forms...
+5 Insightful is not enougth to this one...
Simply ignore patents. And if a lawyer appears trying to force you to accept them, kill the lawyer.
A pascal operating system? OMG!! Run for the mountains!! AHHHH!!!

It's the same method used for extinguishing fires in oil wells (using explosives), but now in a much larger scale.
Is a good idea. Maybe a 50 liters tank with this ice on a car?
Better, call the Blast Corps!
And when the responsible for the polling place is the guy with a screwdriver? The cheater can be anyone.

Finally a good response.
(And it is no exaggeration by the IT team the idea of encrypting the entire hard drive? They have no idea less radical?)

How you do that?
Windows XP still needs a floppy if you need to install specific drivers on install process, like SATA drivers.

Put all the sensors and required hardware on the container too, and have fun! Self-contained unit.
