Thats really odd, that may be a system issue. When I load up, once the login screen hits, I can instantly type into the password field. My power on to desktop ready time is roughly 18 seconds. 14 of which is bios time.
Though you have a point, I would also posit that ME really never got any better, even with updates. I used Vista when it first came out, in fact, I had a prerelease version that I was given at a microsoft pre-launch for Vista, server 2008 and SQL 2008. I almost never had the issues what people were ranting about and when I did have issues, it was usually game related with easy fixes. So I still say that ME was far far worse than really anything since then. With that being said, Windows 8 is junk, certainly, but I have not had problems with its speed, all of my issues stem from the horrible UI.
You forgot windows ME.... Windows 8, which I have previewed, is no where near as slow as you are proclaiming nor is it anywhere near as bad as ME. The UI though, is really something that needs to go the way of the dodo.
More often than not, we confuse the speed of the OS with other hardware related latency. I swapped out to a samsung SSD last week for my boot drive and now windows as well as most applications pretty much start instantly. Its less than 4 seconds between my password entry and windows loaded with applications and widgets ready.
I have 16gigs of ddr3 running windows 7 pro with everything cranked up and widgets going. Even with games like Skyrim AoEO etc, I do not ever cap out my ram.
It could have gone better: "Why are you following me?" "Sorry, neighborhood watch, we're had some issues here lately and I didn't recognize you as living here." "oh I'm visiting my "" over on "" "Ah cool, you need a ride, it's raining?" "Sure man" And we'd never have heard of these people.
Because, you'll find, most cops are actually incompetent. They constantly screw up crime scene evidence, they constantly misrepresent facts, they constantly make mistakes and rarely are they ever apologized for. I have a hell of a lot of friends from the army that are now cops and they will be the first to tell you, half they time they are making shit up as they go unless there are clear defined guidelines that they happen to remember at the time. Hell, one of them picked up a suspected murderer's handgun with his bare hands tainting the prints on the weapon.
Again, at 6'2" 170 I could do more than 180 pushups and situps in 2 minutes. Yes there is a little difference, but when I was 6'2" 155 before joining the army, I could still do it. Hell, wrestling someone only 8 lbs heavier in highschool wasn't difficult. The weight classes are meant so that opponents don't have 20+ lbs over their opposite.
You don't exercise? When I 18, I was 6'2" 170lbs. I was a lean and trimmed U.S. Army Ranger and I guarantee that I could have lifted Zimmerman's torso by his shirt. We're talking about a 6'2" 17 year old athlete, by the way, only a year younger than what I was in the previous sentence. As for slamming someone's head into the curb, you can easily do that by palming their face/head.
If you walk down the street, and it takes you more than a few seconds of looking at a house as you walk by to notice that the lights are off and the driveway is empty, you're just stealing oxygen.
well, knowing 11 languages including Swedish and Icelandic, speaking 4 fluently, 12 years in IT, stacks of certifications, I still don't qualify because I do not have a bachelor's. Awesome.
its going back there as well. I know in the software development aspect, we've been moving our offshore contracts from India to Mexico and whatever else we offshore in the future is going to Mexico as well.
or they would rather sell it at artificial prices instead of donating it to shelters. Hell, I would say do away with the WIC program and just give them vouchers for a co-op farmers market system.
I agree whole-heartedly. It doesn't help that half the commercials on tv are either food establishments or drug commercials. Combine that with the fact the people in metro areas generally have dozens of food spots within spitting distance of home. Overall, we're one of the laziest countries and when you're being lazy , sitting in the house, you eat, shagg and sleep.
if 40w is all you need you could combine sources with wind + solar with battery stores. It is entirely dependent on where you live though so having something like the biodiesel generator as backup would work.
for part j, I am not sure how much energy is needed by the pump, but could a wind mill accomplish the energy needs? I'm talking on a mechanical level not necessarily electricity generating.
Let the countries in Africa decide on how to deal with their food issues. Meanwhile, here in the U.S., we should divert this energy into trying to keep our people fed. I'm getting real tired of hearing about all of these "food deficient" children on the tv.
we already do, the government pays farmers to burn their crops to keep prices artificially inflated so that the farming is actually profitable and people will do it.
The same way that they prove they didn't slip an ounce of weed into the pocket of a suspect. Or that they didn't doctor video or audio footage. The court has to take their word on it unless contradicting evidence is introduced. We like to believe that the burden of proof is on the prosecution, but the reality is, the burden of DISPROOF is placed on the defendant. They are very different things.

And that's why I quit FFXI
unless the purchase of Motorola goes through

Dunno, how many deterrents do you have? How much are you sharing with them? Are you willing to use them as fertilizer?

Mexico. The prices may be slightly higher when dealing with drug cartels, but we would start saving on trans-pacific shipping.
Which is understandable, but they aren't just targeting JW's with this.
and Halloween suggests paganism.
You mean the religions that most of the christian holidays are based on in the first place?
