Vista was a huge step. stability, technology, better api, more responsive, more visually capable, better 64 support, better security. Win 7 improved upon all that making it speedier.
Every version, except 8, has created an uptick in PC purchases, and that includes ME
ME included a lot of new features, but it's stability was an issue as was the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine.
"Everything you'd want to plug into your computer already works with XP" haha, no. Unless you mean at the exact moment of release, in that case..still no.
There was no stock crash becasue 100 years ago it was lower.
Do you see you bad argument? Also, it proves that a coordinate attack can cause you to loose value outside of normal market forces. They will run out of bitcoin, and it will be a curiosity with a set of collectors.
Of course someone could get addicted to Marijuana.
However it's less likely then Alcohol. Anything the feels good can be addictive, so don't just dismiss it. If someone says smoking a joint till make you an addict! yes, shut them down but do not dismiss the idea, there are too many. Kids under 15 have a pretty high rate of addiction.
Ryule of thumb, if you are knowingly harming yourself then you should talk to a professional about whether or not you are addict.
You're understanding of the dollar is laughable, at best.
" but there is no limit to the amount of dollars the government can print." Not true in in practical way, but common statements from the ignorant masses.
" the bank cartel known as the federal reserve " the federal reserve is not a bank cartel,. You should probably look up what a 'cartel' is so you understand why the Fed. Reserve isn't one.
Let me know when they eliminate banks, until then Rothbard isn't even worth considering.
"print insane amount of money every " hardly insane amount. "year to finance government spending, " nope.
" take a dime from 1942, " ok: type: mercury weight 2.5 grams (current dime weight 2.268 grams Content: 90% silver Silver weight 2.25 grams. Value(4/10) 1.99 ASSUME 100% purity of the silver. So, no you couldn't by a gallon of gas. But Weight!* in 1942 Cost of a gallon of Gas 15 cents, Coca Cola 5 cents Average Price for a new car $920.00 So no, it wouldn't have bought a gallon of gas, but it wold get 2 bottles of coca cola, unlike today. you would need 9200 of them to buy a house. If what you said was correct(it isn't) the average house would 18,400 dollars today.
It's nice that you can cherry pick a dime out of all of USE dime history and kinda force it into you incorrect understanding of money, but you are wrong.
becasue they didn't steal it. You should probably try to understand that. The vast majority of them made reasonable decisions based on the information they had. The people creating the information were the problem.
Of course there where a few that did actual illegal things. Make a bad investment is not illegal. Getting paid to make investments is not illegal.
If you had a postcard, and it was passed hand to hand from person to person, each person reading it to pass it on, you would have no expectation of privacy. Not until you put it into an envelope.
With electronic communication that envelope is called encryption.
Are they? I haven't heard a good argument on why anyone should expect an email to be private. It's read and scanned by countless systems just to get it to its destination.
It's rewritten becasue t's part of an automated 24/7 system. I work with Emergency responders, and with people who design these systems. Plenty of people are willing and do take responsibility. People who aren't don't hold those position very long, assuming they could get one.
When talking about the US government, remember a few things. 1) 10's of thousands of project go on every year. 2) the media only reports things they perceive as failures* 3) The people in your government work far harder then any media ever shows 5) The US government employees do a damn good job compared to any other government in the world.
Yes, there will be problems. People make mistakes and people aren't perfect.
*most aren't, there just a lack of understanding of the situation by the medias.and of course, some are.
It's not good. Everything after season one became a pandering episode. The characters, withing their own context, have gotten stupider. The relationship episode are the same as every other show with relationships. Same problems, same 'solution'.
It is the classic, the 'real person' is right and has superiority over the 'smart' person.
It's a another bland show; which is sad, because they started off so damn good.

Usability isn't he issue, app are. Steam is changing all that. You can buy a ubunto box from Alienware for pete sake.
You could run games and office on it. That hobbled it. Now I can use office via a web browser.
the UI is fine. as good as windows 7 or OSX.
no, it's fine. You don't qualify what it's best at.
here is a clue: Don't talk a bout OS's you don't know anything about. You look like an idiots saying vista didn't bring any must haves.

"These two groups probably comprise the majority of Christians in the USA."
no,. they don't. There just the loudest sects of that particular cult.
You know what happens when someone from Austin moves to Dallas? the average IQ in both places goes up.
You know what happens when someone leaves Austin for anyplace other then Texas? the average IQ of both places goes down.
link to this alleged plan?
also, the fact that you think you can hide using bitcoin is cute.
"10x or 100x what they used to be."
What they used to be is irrelevant. When you bought them is all the matters.
There was no stock crash becasue 100 years ago it was lower.

ok:

Silver weight 2.25 grams.
Value(4/10) 1.99 ASSUME 100% purity of the silver.

The ultimate values is the same as everything else: Whatever you can get.

Of course there where a few that did actual illegal things. Make a bad investment is not illegal.
Getting paid to make investments is not illegal.
The loosening of requirements is the big issue.
You should probably read their papers and letters before making such a statement.
You might be surprised at how little they would be turning over.
"The entrenched tax preparer industry would never allow that."
HAHAHahhaha.
They very people you seem to think would benefit from a complex tax code actually benefit from simpler tax code.
You suffer form delusions of paranoia.
no, not at all.

Hint:postcards aren't private either.
You're statement is completely false.

It's standard procedure in automated warning systems.
I suspect it's one of several outlets that get hit when the system is activated.
Remember, it's a 24/7 system so you need to maximize the chance it gets out.
Accidents happen. Would you rather have a rare false positive to the general public, or a increased chance of the system failing ?
Less people playing? gosh, who would expect that in an ancient game.
Ou need to understand Valve counting.
1
2
new game.
Or
Excited about new game
perfecting the game in the sequal
3 - I'm bored with that, time for something new
If not having a 3 is what it take to ave a company still make great 1/2 then fine.
Would you want them to do a game they aren't excited about making?
So they appear complete by all known methods, but you insist that they aren't without any evidences or maths? how cute.
