By far my favorite feature of Win7. Windows key -> type want I want to run (usually under 4 characters) -> Enter. Very efficient.
I know of no regular users that understand pinning. Myself, I only pin my email and web browsers (by far my most frequently used programs) and nothing else.
This is a tax on not doing something. Are there other taxes on the lack of an activity? Income, goods, etc all require you to do something for the tax to be applied. Unless this is just a tax on being alive?
You get your say every 2, 4 or 6 years with the elections. Of course, those are mostly a crapshoot between bad choices and really bad choices but if we stopped re-electing the same people, then the congresscritters might start to listen to us.
The fun part is how you can do something overseas that's completely legal in the country you did it in, but then get arrested when you return to the US if it's a crime in the US. This is often used when citizens go overseas, have sex with young girls who are of legal age in their country but under age by US law, then arrested when they return to the US.
It's possible to be proud to be American and ashamed of our government. Although we are a government of the people, the government and the country as a whole are not the same thing.
A somewhat flawed analogy because the tool is "usually right". It'd be like a measuring tape that, once in a while, stretches or shrinks by a few inches and there's no way to prove, two years later, exactly what height that person was at the time of the crime (maybe he's young and still growing?). Nonetheless, your point of it being a tool that may not always give 100% correct measurements is completely valid.
Whatever happened to the idea that it's better to let ten guilty men go free than to wrongly imprison one innocent man that this country's justice system was once based on?
Most of the newer stuff either has it, or Netflix is actively adding it. It's the older movies that never had it that Netflix has made little effort towards adding it.
I'm half deaf and only watch videos on Netflix with closed captioning, but I'm on Netflix's side on this one. They provide no essential services, not even news or weather, and the only educational stuff tends to already have CC anyway. What's next, all porn is required to have CC?
Corporations are "people" legally, so one corporation should carry the same weight as one human when determining these things, not the number of employees it has.
To those who don't remember, Asimov's Three Laws are:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
"I really wanted the Google job, and I feel I was definitely qualified. What makes me feel better about it I guess is that it seems some Googlers couldn't pass the Google interview."
Should have Googled all of the answers. I bet that's what they did.
Not to mention that I'm sure both Google and Microsoft employee plenty of minimum wage workers... those campuses don't clean themselves (yet) as well as hordes of junior level monkeys, clerks, secretaries, etc. Just getting an interview at a company isn't all that impressive unless it's a high-up job that falls into the "dream job" category for thousands or millions of people.
take a legally store bought dvdr and make a back up take both and turn yourselves in. if a few million do this the day it becomes law the whole system will crash and judges will toss it out left and right and the precidence will force the idiot govt to remake the law and...we got more of these lil issues with the charter like CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT so dont just take that part out....DONT bother period.
Better yet, convince someone that everyone is going to do this, then videotape it when he/she's the only one that does.
As far as a true virus, in the sense that it infects a file and then replicates, is increasingly rare in Windows as well. In my experience, Trojans are by far the most common malware threat out there now - mostly because they rely on user stupidity/uneducation, which is something that is very difficult to patch.
I have to agree with Anubis - they were only claiming total immunity to Windows-based viruses. Against malware in general, they're just claiming excellent security... but not perfect. It's a valid claim and doesn't do the tap-dancing around terms that the original claim did. Some could say that because Macs are technically personal computers, claiming to be immune to "PC viruses" like in their original statement was an outright lie.
In short, they've gone from tapdancing around terms and implying things that are outright false to standard marketspeak that's at least valid.
It's saying that, but in such a way that it's strongly implying "we don't have that problem" when they actually do. What if Ford put out an advertisement saying "Are you afraid of your Toyota skidding off the road into a tree? Then come buy a Ford!"? Sure, if you're driving a Ford then your Toyota probably won't hit a tree... but your Ford still will.
They were careful to say that Macs are immune to Windows viruses. It's sort of like saying that Ford cars are generally unaffected by Toyota's engineering flaws. Doesn't mean that they don't have any of their own.

So women with feminine pride are psychotic?
I mean, aside from the usually female psychosis.

Odds are your taxes will go up to support enforcing this program, as will your health insurance costs as they struggle to compete with it.

I see nothing saying the former president is even aware of it, much less has a beef about it.
I would have made a tiny robotic pumpkin carriage and called it a Pumpkin Pi. But that's just me.

The first OS X malware in the wild was in 2006 - a worm/trojan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_virus

Re-animating the dead had nowhere near the profit margins as printer ink.

It's like when your Pokemon uses Confusion. It makes fanboys rabidly attack anyone and everyone near by while mostly just hurting themselves.
And everyone that ever used Linux will eventually die.
