What do they call these nervous nellies who constantly monitor their pulse and blood pressure, hyperventilate with the least bit of excitement? It's kinda like 'helicopter' parents, but they 'hover' over themselves. *I've fallen! And I can't get up!*
I have a 60 year old dial phone that still functions perfectly. And show me any cell phone that can be used to inflict adequate blunt force trauma more than once and still work. Damn glass play toys are no better than a Broken Beer Bottle
Microsoft or not, it is the fault of the OS if it wasn't designed to sandbox everything. I have to reboot my Galaxy every few days. I do indeed blame the OS, and no doubt the hardware isn't so robust either.
Oh please! You pontificating is nauseating. You can buy me the copy of Windows 7 if you want to obligate me to use it, and make sure it's the Ultimate edition! And the hardware to run it. Let's see... Intel board is fine, with dual zeon processors, at least 32 GB of RAM, 2TB enterprise quality SSD, 4K video with two 40in monitors, with wide gamut, ASIO/MIDI box, I'll send the rest of the list later. Thanks in advance!
Are you kidding? Marlboro* is already tooling up, making itty bitty cigarettes. And no doubt the bees will start wanting a cup of java to go with them.
*'Africanized' bees will prefer Salems or Kools, and probably should avoid the caffeine...
You can't shame a sociopath. And even with the 'cannon' in China, do we know who lit the fuse?
QOTD from one of the links:
We have one network in the world today. Either we build our communications infrastructure for surveillance, or we build it for security. Either everyone gets to spy, or no one gets to spy. That's our choice, with the Internet, with cell phone networks, with everything.
That's right. Win 2000 and OS9 are perfectly operational systems, except for the upgrade treadmill that assures planned obsolescence. That what this is all about, and it's BS
That's bullshit. I can keep a working system imaged. So, it's basically screw you. My system works. It's clean. I don't need any damn upgrade. I don't use iTunes.
Yeah, except that's their strategy, not yours. They have you too scared to look for alternatives, lest the *wrong lizard* gets in. It works like a charm, for over 150 years now.
I think the guy's name was Joe McCarthy, a senator while Nixon was VP. The House Un-American thing was during Nixon's presidency, watched it play out live on the TeeVee. Nixon's 'big' crime that doesn't get much attention was his sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks before and during his first campaign, with help from Kissinger, no doubt. It was unfortunate Johnson let it go. But then we all know these people can't really touch each other without bringing down the entire house of cards. 'Fast and Furious', 'Iran-Contra', the Philippines, Cambodia, Chile... Molasses from Havana to Canada. They are all a bunch of rum-runners and slave traders. It's a gangster's paradise.
Your copy(the lamp) is yours. The smoke/light is not. Your demand for control over it once it is released is immoral, unethical, and just plain wrong. You have one single claim, authorship, nobody else can rightfully claim they wrote it. Beyond that, you gotta perform just like the rest of us. If I can't get paid for a machine reproducing or copying my work, neither should you. But don't sweat it, the law, though quite immoral, is on your side, and the copyrighters are the robbers/pirates who steal from society.
We've established you to be a Communist-sympathizer before.
:-) You have?? When was that? I must have slept through it. I really am fascinated by this, could you please elaborate? You are indeed funny, and kinda nostalgic...

...but the moral condemnation of such actions should not be any different between the real and imaginary worlds.
We must burn all the Three Stooges reels! And Tom and Jerry? My god!

Wonderfully put

I doubt that very much. I regularly reinstall the image. And besides fuck you if you are demanding that I buy an upgraded system. What I have works.
The law is irrelevant. When the president does it, it's not illegal, by default.
Exactly how does that work if the wifi is turned off?
That's bullshit. I can keep a working system imaged. So, it's basically screw you. My system works. It's clean. I don't need any damn upgrade. I don't use iTunes.
If you're going to mandate that everybody upgrade, then cough up the cash. I have no reason to trash a perfectly functional machine.
You still won't get any of that without people to vote for it. You can relax. It's a simple fact
The solution is to change the voting system...
Well, if you can get people to vote for this 'change', you may have killed more than one bird, no?
It's the one that counts. Everything else is mass media bullshit.
We forced the US out of Vietnam
And put them in Central America and Middle East
we brought down Richard Nixon
And we got Ronald Reagan, et al, and all of a sudden Nixon and Vietnam 'never happened'.
The Church Committee had hearings on this stuff 40 years ago. Scandal after scandal, it doesn't matter, the same people are reelected despite it all.
You are witness to a shell game. The 'system' is as powerful as it ever was.
Yeah, except that's their strategy, not yours. They have you too scared to look for alternatives, lest the *wrong lizard* gets in. It works like a charm, for over 150 years now.

...authoritarianism isn't as popular as they dream it to be...
96% reelection rates over the decades says that it is...
He helped to reveal how negative and authoritarian most people are.
And it's impossible for anyone to make software easy to use without government money to run a study.
I don't know. Further research is necessary...
Hilarious, man!
A song I wrote is just as mine as a car...
