Interesting theory, however Norton in particular is always near the top when it comes to having minimal impact on system performance in actual head to head testing. Again, believe as your anecdotes dictate.
The storage business was too myopic to capitalize on cloud storage/'box' stuff and just plods along making profit margins that would be OK for a grocery chain but that are soso at best for the tech industry. Buying into that biz was a stupid idea, finally it's being undone.
My understanding of his comment was that for this specific case (items classified on the authority of the POTUS) his word is law; not that his word is now law in the general case. Taken that way, I'm unsure whether he's wrong or not.
My 2012 (cheapish) car has a display that shows distance to go until empty (an estimate, obviously) and distance until next waypoint. If it's a big deal, buy a car with a better set of instruments.
Having children is a lifestyle choice. If one isn't OK with the compromises that choice brings, one should make a different choice. From what I hear, having a kid or two is pretty rewarding in it's own right. Despite what people say, it's unlikely a person can really have it all without taking something from someone else.
Yeah, I'm actually unsure where you'd get that string from a Win32 API but it's probably somewhere. It's certainly NOT how we see what version of the OS we are running on. The sad thing is that the correct API returns a platform ID (IIRC) that tells what these jokers were trying to determine explicitly.
"A natural next step would be to add haptic feedback allowing users to touch virtual objects. Users could pick up physical items and computer generated ones at the same time while still thinking both are real. Adding the ability to walk around would expand one’s sense of presence as well. This allows individuals to explore computer generated environments further immersing them into the experience." - Article
For example, even MP3s of classical music are copyrighted. Sure, the musical score Bach or Beethoven wrote is free of copyright. But the symphony that produced the performance? That's not copyrighted, and the ability to record high fidelity music is so new....
I believe some of those performances are old enough to have made it into the public domain, and some of those old masters are pretty good.
I've always been a little fuzzy on why we think corporations paying taxes is a good thing; wouldn't it just be simpler to tax the assets of the shareholders directly?
On most current architectures a cache line is 64 bytes or a small multiple of 64 bytes, not 4K, and the CPU will almost always have a prefetcher that will try to optimize sequential accesses. Here is a pretty accessible rundown on some of the things a person can do very easily.

Research says typical customers stick around longer than that, but believe whatever makes you happy.

One that's really profitable and one that's not.
By use, I mean purchase ....
Summary says $4,200,000,000 last year, so I guess that's an answer for you.
That is my (admittedly imperfect) understanding as well.

Again, buy a VW next time. Apparently they think a lot more like you do when they design a car.

No, what I really care about is, "can I make it to the next fuel stop with what I have in the tank."
The display in the center, between the tach and speedo will tell you that answer.

C++
Actually most of it is code written using the shitty Java API.
I'm not sure an OS that makes Java fail to run is completely bad.
Actually the code I saw doing this was Java .....
Win32 guys know which API to call to get version info properly, and it's not a string comparison.
Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 are all 6.x .....

Yeah, it's for porn
I just want to thank you for not using "begs the question" incorrectly here.
I was just agreeing with you, and pointing out that the numbers on the box are not version numbers, they are marketing labels.

Engineering, meet marketing.
The internal version numbers are completely sensible, the marketing names are dreamed up by marketing people, what did you expect, logic?
