>>>>>impossible to run 1985 PC with Windows95 >> >>It's also impossible to run XP on a PC from 1991, so I fail to see the difference
Your comment reinforced my point Mr. Anonymous. The PC industry evolved rapidly during the 70s, 80s, and 90s such that it was impossible to run an OS on a 10-year-old PC. (But now that is no longer true... Win 7 will run on my 1/2GB computer just fine.)
Just as I'd rather have a technician solder a CPU onto my board, rather than an engineer. The tech has more experience. - Likewise the nurses would be more-experienced than doctors to remove tonsils if they did it day-after-day-after-day.
Well I only have 4 GB on my Win7 machine, and it works fine on whatever program I'm running.
But if I switch to a task that's been sitting idle for 1+ hours then the spinning wheel comes up. I have to wait 2-3 minutes for Win7 to empty the RAM and swap-in the HDD "memory" to RAM before I can continue. It's slooooow. Like XP on a 128meg laptop.
I hate HDD swapping. I think Microsoft relies upon it way too much.
That's what happens when the government installs price-fixing (via Medicare/Schip pricing) and says doctors can't charge more than X amount for a procedure. (Oftentimes below actual cost.) Young adults choose other careers that pay more money, or don't require 70 hour weeks or 10 years training.
A number of doctors in interviews have even said they plan to quit the profession, since they will be losing money. It's a well-known economic fact that price-fixing creates shortages.
Yeah THEY say they are losing money on CDs so they can convince politicians to pass ProtectIP and CISPA laws. Also the ACTA treaty. But in reality they are now making a ton of money off single sales, and that is more than offsetting any loss from CDs:
>>>So you just choose to believe what infowars says without citation?
Of course not. I reject about 10% of what they post as "overreaction" about trivial issues. AND they provide plenty of citations... about 10 links per post.
>>>Violence and force, are the elements from which all legitamate power and authority derives.
Which is why the People retain their weapons.
>>>You own only that which you can conquer.
True but only in part. You own your body which Nature has provided for you. And the air and sunlight, which nature has also provided. You have a natural right to these things. (Read Jonn Locke for more detail.)
Because Excel costs mucho deniro, where Open or LibreOffice does not. Oh and yes it is worthwhile to copy the behavior users are accustomed to, rather than something new that has to be relearned (and make users grumble).
I'm surprised microsoft is still making 32 bit versions of Windows. If this was apple they'd just abandon all the 32 bit computers (as they abandoned PPC computers after just 3 years).
They use a lot of electricity. Unless Microsoft is planning to buy "carbon offset" credits, so they can pollute and yet just handwave it away.
I'd prefer they take a pledge to be megabyte neutral, and learn to develop a new OS that doesn't use any more megabytes of RAM (or virtual ram) then Windows 7. Ditto for Office, Visio, and other products.
They didn't shut it down for the same reasons roads are sometimes closed (weather emergency or major accident). They shut it down to censor free speech & prevent a protest. The air belongs to the People and they have a right to use it. They should never be blocked from using their property, except for a real emergency.
(And before you claim the air belongs to someone else..... it does not. It is RENTED to companies, but the ownership remains with the people, from which all legitimate power derives.)
I forgot to mention in my previous post. It's not illegal to remain silent, but it is illegal to lie to cops or FBI/CIA agents. I suspect the same is true for these TSA agents.
GOOD. It will make a good story to share with millions of Ron Paul fans, and maybe some radio shows like Peter Schiff, and so on. Fame is fun.:-) I might even have grounds for a lawsuit, after all, they are supposed to pat you down when you opt-out of scanning, not detain you. They violated the law.
Yes just as there's a difference between government owning and forcing me to buy Cable TV, versus the present situation where I can buy comcast or verizon or dish or directTV or antennaTV or Hulu or amazon or.....
Private security gives customers a choice if they want to fly on the Airline that gropes them everywhere, or the one that just uses a metal detector (pre9/11 style). The pro-choice solution is preferable to a single-choice monopoly solution.
Frankly I'd rather just take the risk, just as I take a risk every time I board a train or boat or car that it will be my last trip. The odds that my particular plane will blowup in a terrorist attack are lower than my odds of getting hit by a meteorite, or getting swept away in a tsunami. It is silly to fear extremely-unlikely events, and subject yourself to cancer (they are Xray remembers) or sexual assault (touching a breast or crotch). And then turn-round and stuff your face with fat/sugar which WILL kill you.
The odds are especially low considering how hard it is to sneak a bomb past the Xray and metal detectors. The 9/11 terrorists didn't succeed... all they got on board was a tiny knife, and that would have been useless if we had simply locked the pilot doors (like we do now). They would have failed.
And no I'm not going to "cite" anything. Instead I'll just point you to infowars.com. You need to keep-up with the news, intead of living in the dark. Tyranny lives-on through the ignorance of the masses & their failure to stay up to date. You are sitting in front of a damn computer that is linked to thousands of news-sites..... there's really no excuse to say, "Oh I didn't know that."
And yes I'm angry. Coreection: rage. I have a right to be fed-up when I see what our country has become due to the slovenliness of our People. Too busy playing games or watching TV or blindly believing the liars we call politicians, while 1 million innocents are killed or maimed in bombings, and we do Nothing.
She is likely to get the same response as another customer who asked, "How did my luggage get damaged? Why did the TSA cut the lock off?"
"GO TO HELL" scrawled on the complaint form.
Or maybe the handicapped soldier who asked, "Where did my 300 dollars disappear too? I put it right here in the tub."
"You causing trouble?" "No sir." "Then shut up or we'll bar you from flying." The handicapped soldier boarded the plane & lost his 300.
Or maybe the woman with the breast pump who was told, "You can't take that onboard." She was then forced to demonstrate it to the TSA woman to prove it was a breast pump, else it would have been confiscated & junked.
Or the mother who was carrying milk for her newborn infant, and the TSA told her to dump it or else. She showed them printouts of TSA procedures and they tossed them in the trash. They then placed her in a glass jail for an hour, made her miss her flight, and refused to refund the ticket for the plane.
THE SA DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT BROKEN DIABETIC PUMPS OR ANY OF THE FUCKING PASSENGERS. They are goons with power trips. They need to be fired and replaced with what we had pre-911 (xrays of baggage/metal detectors for passengers).
"I want to opt out." "Why?" "Because." "Why?" "......" "Why?" "......"
You have the right to remain silent and are not required to give ANY answers to a government employee except your name and ID (varies from state-to-state).
+1. Several women have been forced to walk through the scanner multiple times, in order for the men to get a better view of their nudity on the screen.
>>>30 years ago files were stored on 5.25 floppies and cassette tapes
Yes and I still have those files, because I've transferred them to hard drives and then USB drives, and then online drives, as technology advanced. And if I die, the safe's key is easily found along with my google password inside the safe.
And to the other guy 2-to-3 posts above:
The Submitter's question is as silly as asking, "How do I convert my photos to granite tablets?" It makes no sense to convert them to an old format this is bulky and prone-to-destruction (either through fire or fading of the photo's color). Just keep the original digital files and make copies so if one copy is destroyed, you still have 2 other copies.
If they pulled their head out of their asset ledgers, the executives could solve this problem by releasing music & movies & TV shows the same week or month. Take Doctor Who for example: There's no reason it can't air on both Syfy and BBC the same week... then there'd be no desire to get DW through the net.

P.S.
I'm surprised microsoft is still making 32 bit versions of Windows. If this was apple they'd just abandon all the 32 bit computers (as they abandoned PPC computers after just 3 years).
Windows 8 will run in half a gigabyte? Sweet. That means my 10-year-old PC can use it (just barely).
Someone's going to pay me to turn-off the heat & sit in a cold house? Cool. Where do I sign up?
Okay. That means somebody else (us maybe) has to cut back on their pollution to offset Microsoft's pollution credits.
+ 1 You-read-my-mind.
Now we need someone to answer it. LibreOffice is free (both cost and open source). OpenOffice is???
They use a lot of electricity. Unless Microsoft is planning to buy "carbon offset" credits, so they can pollute and yet just handwave it away.
