Who cares about that? They apparently made a highend quality PC with a decent design, and something which has no marked yet. That alone deserves a large salute.
On the other hand: No competing OS can run WIN32 apps in a proper way. And what does that mean? Basically that "running WIN32" is not a qualification for anything. There is always Wine and Emulation general, but in both cases the results may not be good enough.
What MS is going to offer is: 1. Unified platform(compile once, distribute everywhere) 2. Gaming tablets(a consequense of 1) 3. Unified systems running the same OS
MS might be attempting to many weird things, but if they are "sane" they will create something like Rosetta, a emulation layer, and drop all backwards compitablity.
God violates the laws of themodynamics. Matter violate the laws of thermodynamics. Etc. But only if you take it the logical extreme. "How did it get here?" "I don't know, you don't know, but we can assume its been here for quite some time. But due the second law of thermodynmic we can assume that it has been here forever, in some form."
I think of teacher of mine phrased it best: "So, you like listening to distracting music while I am teaching? Mostly fine by me, so long you get your homework done. But, lets be honest: Perhaps 1/10.000 will get increased ability to learn from listening to music, and by statistics we are quite sure you are not one of them. So please remove that headset while I attemp to teach you math."
Core point: Unless you can empirically prove that you are one of those 1/10.000, then frankly you are endangering the rest of the people on the road.
A even better can analogy would be that your car was advertised with a use of 1 liter per 10 kilometers under "normal driving conditions", and it uses 1,1 instead under "normal driving conditions". Unless you are in germany and on the autobane, advertised speed is not a valid metric for a car.
Would that not mean that a company that does not carry stocks is per definition larger than any stock company because it can't be bought over stock trade?
1. What is the DNS adress for openDNS? 2. Their site is filled with "learn more" and "registrate", don't it seem like another money grabbing spam site to you?
Somebody mod up. This is not 2002 anymore: Laptop CPUs and laptop GPUs have gotten quite decent over the years. And besides: Nothing beats sitting down comfortably in the couch, and game hard.
That only helped us back in the 70s. As of the current 10-20 last years we have made a simple policy: We are only allowed to spend the rents gained via banking the oil, not actually use the gigantic fund we have made via the oil. Besides, look at Sweden or Denmark: Roughly same policies and culture, but no oil, and doing a lot better than USA.
Lets talk about something a bit more relevant. Basically a small issue is that bugs will occuere. If the cars AI actually crashed the car, ain't it actually a really good thing? I mean, the bug would otherwise have been present. And since it crashed, they can figure out WHY it crashed, and that means they can fix the bug. And the same thing applies to everything: While doing R&D you actually want a few of your products to break badly, so you can fix the fault that caused it.
Here is my greif wih your idea: A day is a very very long time. A week is a bloody eternity. A entire year is roughly a completely undescribable amount of time. The monopolies will eventually fail, but after how many years? 10? 15? 20? 50? 200? I do not want a entire year with some rouge ISP abusing their monopoly, and for all the free marked is worth: Is is not even worth 1 month of monopoly abuse. Here is a few "regulations": 1. No throtteling of bandwidth is legal 2. Specified bandwith is always the minimum bandwidth, no exceptions, and that includes line noise too. 3. Blocking webpages is illegal for a ISP These are all "regulations". All these would hurt a ISP if they attempted to do stuff. Add laws that say that a company that attempts to block something via a court order is automatically disbanded too, if the situation is appropiate, and then suddenly large telecos can no longer use court to hold small towns hostages if they attempt to build a reasonable infrastructure and make their own villagefounded ISP.
Another issue i have is a large one: You seem to have the silly idea that "regulations" == "evil", and another one too: "Regulations == many regulations". Regulations EXIST to make sure monopolies do not any advantages over entrepeneurs, and to make sure the free marked will attempt to foster innovation. Regulations does not exist to make software patents valid, and it is a example of a bad regulation.
But the problem was that it is not even illegal to do that in Sweden. It is only a legal "greyzone", and there is no laws for it either. What should have happened is that the police deliver a letter stating "we need to approve if its legal or not", ask him to please halt the building process(in case it turns out is would not be legal after a law has been made), and then it goes trough the electeds, and if there are indeed large enough reasons agains it should be illegal. Arresting him for it is outright rude.
I am not American, and i have no legal experience. But you should be able to countersue BSA for attempts at blackmail, or false accusations and attempts to damage company reputation.
OpenPandora is just what happens if the Entrepeneur is not cynical enough to set down a date in da contract: which of all boards must be finished by. "I hear you can have X boards by Y date?" "We sure do" "Then lets get it down to contract shall we?" "But that... But." "You promised, either sign it, or leave it" Or something like that. Not sure how pushy one can get over legal terms.

Free healthcare, free social services and a stable wage, and no risk of ever getting fired?
Compared to a lot of places, it is actually "decent".
So nobody has started to share a torrent file yet? Disappointing.
Thats annoying, and its free wifi.
Just give us a network name and password instead.
Much simpler, and it works better.

If there is actually places where you can buy infected computers, why are not all the retailers rooted up and thrown directly into jail?

If a single subscribe can saturnate the entire bandwitdth, there is something seriously wrong with the ISP.

Viewing something your brain is unfamiliar with == automatic headache.
The same applies to 3D displays.
