I wish YOU didn't exist. "sigh"? speculations that alien life has some sort of plant-wide telepathy field? Christ, how are you even allowed to use a computer?
"The W32Time service is not a full-featured NTP solution that meets time-sensitive application needs and is not supported by Microsoft as such. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 939322, Support boundary to configure the Windows Time service for high-accuracy environments (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=179459)."
"The W32Time service cannot reliably maintain sync time to the range of 1 to 2 seconds. Such tolerances are outside the design specification of the W32Time service."
First, they will use Windows Active Directory for NTP because someone will say "it's authoritative for the whole network". And their clocks will be off.
Then they will run into config hell, and blaming that for clocks being off - they will load balance the domain controllers. Which is precisely what you're not supposed to do with NTP. And their clocks will be off.
Then, some small but relevant IT subgroup will secede, claiming that they need "real" NTP. "Network Security" folks are typical suspects here. So their clocks won't match the rest of the gear (which is still off, remember?)
If you have poor enough technology discipline that your clocks are 24 minutes off already, you're probably screwed.
They want it to Just Work. They want to buy it, plug it in, go pointy-clicky and have it work. People have an expectation that computers and technological devices (tablets, phones, etc) work without screwing around with them.
In general they whack us with 10x the import tariff we apply to them - that is the problem. They're exporting their unemployment to the US, because if you have 400M unemployed young men running around, revolution-y things start happening.
Dot-com flameout, 9/11, housing and banking collapse in the US, combined with market saturation in the PC space and getting trounced by Apple on the high end... I'm not sure what he could have done. Contrast Gates, who rode the Windows95 wave to fame and bailed at the right time. Maybe Ballmer's winning move was not to play.

Why would you tell people you're censoring them, when you can just as easily NOT tell them and keep them in the dark... you know, to CENSOR them.
8 brazillian DPI is a marketing ploy. 1920x1080 is good enough unless you're using a 40 inch screen. Deal.
Social workers do nothing noble, they are maggots feeding on sores.

Apparently she's an expert in social media.

wah-wah.
This entire thing reeks of FAIL.
Sticking an electrode into a creature and have it twitching to music is not funny, it's cruel.
Mr. Toohey would be proud.
I don't think so.... Aryan maybe, but not German.
Because not everyone has infinite money, you ass.
But remember, socialism is better than capitalism.
The less value paper money has, and the more regulation and taxation there is on commerce, the more of this you will see.
Who'd have thought that aggressive, competitive people end up dying earlier than more laid back types? Go Science!
"I expect to make a pile of money from the John Galt Line. I will have earned it."
No it doesn't work.

Sounds like you're just riding a bomb.
And all the socialized deficit spending you can eat.
Fix Firefox? Why does it "need" to do a lot of syncs?
How is paper mail and/or the USSR relevant to anything in 2012?

Surely the modem is a layer1/layer2 device, and not anything higher? Why does the modem itself need DNS settings?
Why would he bother to come back? There are plenty of decent places to live in the world, especially when you have money.
