It's annoying as hell when you're watching a youtube video, and trying to do something else at the same time (why else have so much screen space, right?) and it eats up your cpu cycles.
Of course the superior performance in mathematics in Asian countries could have more to do with cultural effects other than the number of days vs. the number of hours per day in schools. It probably does.
It may even be as simple as the language. For example, in Japanese, in order to count to 100, a person needs to know about... 11 different words. In English, the amount is greater than 20, probably close to 30.
If we were forced to learn touch typing, it would be a horrible experience.
First of all, the people who already can touch type would be forced to take a semester or two long course that essentially review. Time that could be better spent taking better classes (like more APs).
Secondly, those of use who use dvorak would be forced to spend a semester or two with a keyboard layout that is horrible, in our perspective.
Ideally, we could test out of it, but, who would offer that choice? I mean, using testing as something OTHER than grading schools? That's crazy talk.
And yeah, I do attend high school in silicon valley, and my school doesn't have ap compsci. Of course I'm pissed at that.
1.Advertising (for loans, credit cards etc) whilst the ATM talks to all the computers and you wait for your money to come out
A windows based computer can handle that? How much extra processing power will it need to do that AND talk to all the computers to get you your money? Secondly, why would any customer support advertising in an atm when they already pay to use it?
Hey, there are plenty of people running windows 98 and earlier, who don't get any support/anything. They are perfectly fine with that.
There are also people who run older versions of linux/bsd because of personal preferences or some other reason (distribution they use went away, or something similar)

Third parties will never make an emergence. Our institution pretty much forbids it.
The institution refers to the electoral college, by the way.
You've never used a unix(-based) os.

I like not having my money stolen. That would be reason enough, right?
Except for the whole "iPhone is unix" thing, that almost makes sense.

why I use bsd/linux/some other free OS.
I was born after the age of HAM, but it sounds perfect for your situation.
You sir, are ignorant. Consider this a friendly request by someone (who is most likely younger than you are) to get informed.

It's not windows, it's a bug.
