I've not always held on to a single hard drive for 5 years, but I've never had a desktop hard drive fail on me, ever. I've probably owned 20 different drives over the past 15 years.
I have had exactly one laptop drive fail, but that was almost certainly due to having the laptop fall off the passenger seat repeatedly while using it for GPS.
If someone injured me because they weren't paying attention to the road, I'd hope to bankrupt them in court. The only idiot in that scenario would be the driver.
XP has a lot of compatibility code for 95/98 that 2000 does not have. If you upgraded from 2000 to XP, you probably didn't notice much because all your apps would have already been compatible.
Freedom of Contract works both ways. The business signs a contract with Visa too, you know. Obviously you can't force the business to complete the transaction right there on the spot, but you could report them to Visa, who can in turn force the terms of their contract.
The U.S. Supreme Court will not judge a law, they only judge cases. Thus, in the U.S., the only way to challenge a Federal law is to break it. I imagine the same is true in most, if not all, of the States.
Given that the SSN should never have been used in the way that it is, that's a perfectly acceptable response from the Government. However, a Federal law banning the use of SSN for non-tax, non-SSA related business is way overdue.
I disagree that child porn should be illegal. I have never heard of or read a credible study that shows any lasting harm to the child that is not adequately explained by our species's hang-ups regarding sex.
I'd like to point out that the behavior you see is actually by design. Windows does not page executable pages to the pagefile because it knows that (under normal conditions) it can swap back in from the original file. When Windows requires the memory being consumed by an executable, it will simply drop those pages and reuse them.
Linux does the exact same thing. The reason why you can replace the file while it's in use is because you are not actually overwriting the file. You are just reusing the name in the directory. The actual contents of the original exist until the file handle is closed when the process exits. That is standard Unix design, which unfortunately Windows does not implement.
I don't know about any particular Java JIT, but JIT -ed code can be faster than assembly, or even compiler-optimized C. This is because runtime compilation allows runtime optimization. HP has/d a product for PA-RISC that would run natively compiled code under a JIT in order to do runtime optimizations. Long running code could see a 10%+ speedup.
How is Palestine a civil war? Or are you talking about history? The last civil war in that area took place a couple thousand years ago, which makes sense seeing as how that was the last time the area had sovereign rule against which to start a war.
I carry an empty bottled water bottle through and do the same thing. It really ticked me off the last time I flew to NY to find that the new NWA terminal at Detroit Metro has no drinking fountains on the way to the gate. I am certain this is on purpose.

Don't confuse him with facts. He might have to give up being an ignorant racist.

I don't give a shit if some idiot cellphone user kills himself. It's me and the other thousands of others he'll pass on the road that I worry about.
The name is either Yediot Achronot or Yedios Achronos. The former is probably more proper as that's how any Israeli would pronounce it.
All the heirs that are part of this should just keel over and die. To a midget, for some poetic justice.
They truly have no redeeming value in this universe.
And how, pray-tell, do you make such a determination?

I challenge you to prove that child porn actually causes any lasting harm to the child beyond the fuss that adults make over it.

That is why the only similarity between Logic and Law is that, in the English language, they start with the same letter.

The OS is not based on BSD. It just has a BSD personality and user-land.
Sounds to me like the definition of "over-weight" is based on appearance instead of health.

Reliability and I/O through-put. There's still no single system or cluster that matches the mainframe on both counts.

What does it say about PvtVoid when he is unable to demonstrate any intelligence, even though he would like to?
If you're a patent attorney, the current system is productive.

Never before now have I truly wished for a (-1, Complete Moron) moderation option.
