Because for most people spam isn't that big a problem as it all goes into your spam folder and the one or two that do get through can be banished just by clicking the delete button?
What if you're carrying a laptop on a trip where you won't have a power socket for a long time and you want to conserve energy? Hibernate isn't 100% effective.
And no, zero-based arrays are no excuse for now starting every numbering sequence with a zero. The word "first" is the ordinal form of the number one, not zero. By definition then, "The First Version" is version 1.
Just because your language does things this way doesn't mean that it's a law of nature. The word "first" is not magically linked with "one", it's an adjective meaning that "there are 0 above it", it's only put with one rather than zero because that's the way our language handles things.
If a paid MS shill knew that Linux's equivalent to "runas" is "sudo", why would he mention this at all? Most people, even on Slashdot, either don't know what either of them are and would think that the shill is speaking the truth, or don't know what 'sudo' is (same result) or don't know what 'runas' is, and of course the shill himself won't say what it is, so it would register in their head as "Windows has an important feature that Linux doesn't", which gives roughly the same effect. So maybe only the 0.01% of the population (maybe 1% here) that has a high level of experience with both Windows and Linux would be able to call out the troll, at wich point you just change your username or create a new account and start all over.
Note: I have no such experience with Windows so I may be wrong in my statement that "runas" is a Windows feature and not from BSD or Unix or wherever.
It's not just competitors, it's also pirate sites. If you're an internet newbie and you google "Rosetta Stone" and the first link is "Download Rosetta Stone cheap, only $6.95" but the second link is legitimate, you would most likely hit the first link - it's cheaper, it's right up there on Google and it's in the sponsored links, so it has to be reputable, and you have now become an unwitting customer to commercial software pirates.
Please stop saying "based on new IP". Based on "a new fictional universe", "new ideas" and "new franchise" are all acceptable, but every time you casually use IP to refer to a collection of related fiction you're only furthering the concept that everything created automatically becomes property.
That's digital. For something to be analog, it cannot operate using discrete units. For example, a water clock (basically a cup with a carefully measured leak at the bottom, the height shows the time) is analog. The time displayed on your computer is digital. Digital != electronic.
And what's wrong with any of that? Building residential homes in an area where natural disasters are frequent is a waste of resources and the best way to regulate such building is to let nature itself be the deterrent.
I would use hundreds of airships floating around the city, so you get a clearer view of everything (with a single camera once the ground distance is beyond 2 or 3 times the camera's height you can't see behind buildings at all). You can also paint them blue to make them less obvious.
We've already increased the entire global temperature by 1 degree, killed off more species than anything else in the last 65 million years, destroyed up to 90% of trees in some areas, and all that without direct intent to alter the planet, so why can't we do more?
No one is saying you don't have the right to build in hurricane territory, it's just that insurance rates will be 10x higher and the government won't help you. So if you want to live in a warm place on the coast, go ahead, just make sure you eat the negative consequences yourself instead of passing them along to the taxpayer.
It's a coincidence in the same way that it's a coincidence that the temperature where I am right now is exactly 23.57102'C. It has to be some number (or ASCII character) and U isn't really any more special than any of the other ones.

I'm 53% pregnant with my 7.29th child, you (partially) insensitive clod!
You are quite clearly iNcapable of making a decent pun.
They treat you with 30-minute sessions of reading Youtube comments.
And "somersault" sounds like "catapult". We should try doing that some day.

They tricked you - you're only posting as an anonymous cowardon. The penis enlargement people will arrive at your house shortly.

What is a lithotomy? My knowledge of Latin and Greek makes me think it has something to do with getting stoned...

I got my vista in a truck full of punch cards.

The point is to make each one very small. Also, I'm not advocating anything, I'm just thinking about how I would implement this.
I wonder how hard it would be to shoot these things out of the sky.

That's up to the insurance companies. Car insurance rates go down if you install anti-theft stuff, house insurance should work similarly.

Don't you know that FBI agents have shifts?
