This is always the problem with testing AV software in a lab -- it's barely indicative of anything in the real world, and you can't truly test in the real world due to having no idea what you've missed (unless you go back and search as MS apparently did in this case).
So the question is whether Microsoft's reponse is correct or FUD. Did they perform better in the real world than on this test? Do they perform better in the real world compared to competitors who did well on the test? Those are super hard questions to answer.
I use MSE in large part because it's really lightweight. Norton is a pig and AVG never failed to fuck itself up on my system. And so far I've had no malware issues, so I'm inclined to believe them here even those my experience is anecdotal.
Are you kidding me? Rapidshare was a goldmine of copyright infringement. It's not as much anymore simply because there are now more alternatives and it's harder to search it.
That's BS. I'm not the greatest but I have also never been beaten by a shitty Scrabble player. All it does is make it impossible to determine whether my dad is better than me without tracking our games, playing a statistically significant number of them, controlling for conditions, etc.:P
He's a good actor. Watch his movies if you like them, stop giving a shit about his personal life. The world would be a much better place if no one was obsessed with random people the see on screen on hear singing.
This seems like a fair and informed judgment to me. I don't think the photographer could harmed more by each view, and the distinction between re-use on Twitter and re-use elsewhere is a nuance I wouldn't expect most judges to understand. Let's hope he gets some filesharing cases and tells the RIAA they're owed $0.99 per song and no more.
The idea is that BB10 supports those frameworks already. Some ports are as simple as setting up the tools and clicking a button. Hopefully the more complex ones are given the time they need.
SWTOR was released over a year ago; the "regressive" complain may have been appropriate then. This article is obviously a complaint about the new content, and misrepresenting it as an attempt to segregate gates rather than as an initial step towards rectifying the problems with previous iterations of the game. The new content is not regressive.
Forcing anyone who isn't hetrosexual into one area is
They're not doing that. Do you play the game? Do you play the vast majority of games that have no gay characters at all, much less gay romances? This applies to your second point as well. Adding something is a step up from nothing. At the risk of acknowledging your absurd point about segregation, I'd like to point out that segregation was still better than slavery was. Try to claim that slavery wasn't worse, I dare you.
They could disable the gender restrictions with a patch to the game engine, for example.
No, they can't. All relationships are nuanced with specific dialog written for specific characters, and ALL dialog in the game is voiced. All of it. You'd be equally outraged if they had your male character saying the female character's lines out of context in a female's voice to a male companion. Instead they are working towards including fully unique and voiced romances starting with new content. Again, they cannot snap their fingers and all of the old content will magically be revised. It will take time and a lot of effort.
You obviously know nothing of the game or this patch. Next time read more than the article summary.
Sorry, that's not how it works. People with power and money make the rules, and you don't get power or money without playing the game. Resistance is futile if they get violent, unless you get violent back. (See: World War II. Unless you want to live in a world run by the Nazi Party, "doing evil" in the form of killing was the right thing to do. No, this is not invoking Godwin.)
Expanding sexual diversity in new content is not regressive. They've made it clear that they want to make it a full option throughout the game, but you can't just snap your fingers and make that happen. Same-gender romance is "restricted" to one planet because only one planet is being added in the expansion.
I'm not sure what the agenda is of the submitter/poster/etc., but it certainly isn't equality if they're whining about a step towards that. Also, this is a video game for crying out loud. Chill the fuck out.
The entire point of vaccination is that it trains your immune system. Sometimes the flu strains mismatch but if you're concerned about being exposed enough then you're actually being exposed more when you get 2 strains.
Their service is taking care of sick people. Not making people sick is kind of an important part of that.
I believe a person should be able to decide what they put in the their body
Why not on your body? What if they didn't like soap, do they get out of hand washing too? People get to decide what jobs they take; if your job requires something you don't want to do then just don't fucking do that job. It's not like nurses aren't educated about things like vaccines and this was a surprise.
You get the symptoms, but not the problems. Unless your body fucks up and triggers massive immune over-response you won't suffer any damage since you're not actually being attacked by a virus. (Your body is in fact fucking up to a lesser degree; you shouldn't be getting sick enough to call it "sick" from the shot. A bit tired for a couple days, maybe.)

Some papers seem to get more successful the shittier their reporting. See tabloids.
they see on screen or hear singing, ugh. Proofreading fail.

I use the official Skype app on my Android phone without issue. "Skype doesn't work on Android" is false as a blanket statement.

Are you seriously betting against the stupidity of thieves?

Sounds like a case for the StackExchange Patents site.

You can only manipulate things (i.e., nouns). It does nothing to help distinguish it since it's already perfectly clear.
Congratulations on having no friggin' clue what you're talking about.
It kind of sounds like someone exploiting idiots who have bought into bitcoin, actually.
And what are physicians and surgeons doing publishing opinions on climate change?
I reversed the second quote, my bad.

The hospital is paying for their service

Eating, drinking, and breathing - not trusting God to sustain your body via magic. Let's hope she stops all three.
