You mean meet the moronic researcher whose "deep investigation" couldn't notice that the false positive given by his antivirus hit a windows localization folder and just test the file in question on a different scanner?
I don't think you get it. When you have sufficient pull, you can influense people in position to set judges for your case.
Actual legal options are for the poor.
Case to point: Sweden, TPB. And Sweden was one of the few countries that was known as one that doesn't bend over backwards for money for a while, unlike good old US of A.
It's worth noting that I address this across three different XP machines. One is the one I'm typing this out on which is a core duo wintel, other is my somewhat old turion laptop which I only reboot when windows update asks for it and try to never turn off firefox unless it crashes because I have a shit ton of pugins which make startup quite a bit slow on a 1GB RAM with a reall slow 5200 rpm hard drive. And last is an ancient machine I gave to my parents which kind of has to be hibernated, it only has 512MB of RAM, an old athlon and a slow hard drive, making start up and shut down speed atrocious. On which I also told them not to restart firefox unless they have to, the base machine is kind of crap and start up times on software are horrible. They seem to be happy with it as well since it's mainly a browsing machine.
That counts for one fairly modern intel desktop, one old amd desktop and one old amd laptop. I'd wager it's not enough of a sample, but it's also not "just one machine" either.
Honestly, I've seen many big companies adopt large budget updates instead of simple solution simply because someone in IT had pretty much your kind of attitude. "I think this may not work so we shouldn't bother trying". Early XP's hibernation was really unstable, so I can understand where such attitude would come from in IT support people.
Thing is, when a massive company is on the other side, they won't let such judge in. This isn't TPB where they counted on justice to actually do its job properly - big companies know that to work properly, wheels of justice need to be greased.
Which is why such judge will never be allowed anywhere close to a case like this by amazon's lawyers. They will have enough of a budget to make sure courtroom isn't stacked against them like that.
This is typed out on 3.6.16 that has been running for at least 48 hours straight (actual usage time), survived at least 4 system hibernations, a shit ton of flash (I had a friend with a severe flash game fetish visiting yesterday) and a whole lot of general usage including running on background while I was playing DA2 and alt-tabbing in and out to check on dragon age wiki.
May I suggest that there may be something outside the actual program that's causing the crashes, such as operating system or bad add-ons?
This is old info. Essentially any properly configured windows XP after SP2 has a proper hibernate that just works. The only things that have a tendency to still break are programs that watch the time, and can't adjust to sudden jump forward. Fix there is elementary - shut them down before hibernating.
I have a XP SP3 laptop and desktop, neither has been shut down for a month at least. My parents have a really slow old XP SP2 at home, and after numerous complaints about how slow it is to start (512MB ram and really slow system hard drive) I've taught them how to hibernate it. Never had a complaint since.
And I was thinking of penicilin while being too busy laughing at it:(
But if you want to go tongue-in-cheek, you could argue that stabbing yourself with a needle daily to treat diabetes makes you more likely to take up hard drugs!:D
Realistically, the only way to power electric cars that would replace most gasoline cars is nuclear. Additional coal would simply not pass CO2 emissions targets for most if not all EU countries.
In most countries, classic cars can be registered as museum cars, allowing for a lot more lax rules on things like exhaust, safety, etc. Nothing stops you from doing it with your awesome petrol car, which at that time will likely be something of an curiosity as getting fuel for it will be a bitch.
Nothing to do with evil. No one stops you from running old leaded gasoline powered cars registered as museum cars. Actually supplying them with fuel is another matter, not to even mention spare parts needed to keep it running. Museum registration will likely be the cheapest part of added expenses.
Starting windows up from hibernation takes 30 seconds or less on a modern laptop, mainly depending on the RAM size.
Aforementioned corporation would have saved a lot of money if it just tossed around "this is how you make your laptop start up and shut down much faster AND you can resume your work right where you left off" memo.
BT client works fine for vast majority of people (essentially everyone who has a proper internet connection). For the rest, it's not blizzard's fault, but their ISP's.
Traditional methods are somewhat limited. Realistically you could try measuring it in how many companies spend their R&D money there, or how many peer-reviewed articles there are published.
But in general, the "total scientific output" would require a very clear definition of such "output", and that would differ based on point of view of the speaker.
He is someone who from your point of view is an idiot, but in the view of people with money and a whole lot more experience in what is good and what is not is a smart guy who knows his stuff.
Have you actually seen the camera in N8, or are you just trolling? It's leaps and bounds beyond any other present in a mobile phone at the moment and mostly comparable to pocket cameras. None of the other phone cameras are in the same category at the present time.
Driver optimizations, and driver bugs are the single most common problem behind low fps and crashes both. There are several cases on record with ATI having similar problems.
And your statement is moot as nvidia has openly stated that they will fix it with a driver update (and has already partially done so), which kind of underscores the "this is a driver problem" version of the story.

Proper term is "crab-rolled"!
TBH crabby is awesome, and I'd take him as a firefox add-on to use when I'm bored.

The question arises then, why not? What possible need could they have to actually restart the laptop of an average user so often that it would matter?
And I was thinking of penicilin while being too busy laughing at it :(

To add to sheer awesomeness of your post, I'll help you with insulin:
Antibiotics-resistant bacteria and antibiotics overuse in cattle.
Maybe the sanity will finally descend and we'll start recycling fuel instead?
Nah, same "can't build breeders to recycle fuel, too much risk of proliferation" crowd will start screaming of evils of nuclear bombs even louder.

You deny that money tends to accumulate in the hands of those who know things over idiots?
Also, "dunce-wad"? Really..?

For the record, "bloodsail admiral" is considered an awesome title in WoW. And it comes with an awesome pirate suit.
.torrent file for every update is in its own folder. Just open it in utorrent or similar client, select correct update directory and off you go.
BT client works fine for vast majority of people (essentially everyone who has a proper internet connection). For the rest, it's not blizzard's fault, but their ISP's.
Blizzard downloader is a 2-in-1 http download and bittorrent client.

And now, here you are DEFENDING his ignorance. What does that make YOU?
Someone who's not in denial?
He is someone who from your point of view is an idiot, but in the view of people with money and a whole lot more experience in what is good and what is not is a smart guy who knows his stuff.
Which in turn paints you as an idiot.
