That would mess a lot of things up. Contrary to popular belief most civil engineers aren't dumb, they've done fluid modeling and simulations (you know, science) to determine how long each light needs to be red and at what intervals. If you accelerate one part of the system you might disrupt the flow of traffic miles down the road. In my area some traffic lights are disabled past 7pm to improve traffic flow at non peak hours because the lighter traffic past 7 allows some optimizations.
If you think MS is in any danger, you haven't seen the backlog of expensive (thousands of $$$ is volume licensing), unmaintainable (no source code or documentation) and mission critical (only way to run a piece of equipment / interface with a system) applications that require a version of Windows to run. That alone will keep them going into the foreseeable future.
I forgot, all corporations are evil. Meanwhile in the real world people are calling in sick to go party, sleep in, or because they need more vacation time.
American insurance typically involves the patient paying part of the fee, usually 10-40 dollars depending on the service. It is to discourage us from going to the doctor when there's nothing wrong with us.
But you may still be infectious, best to limit exposure, even if you've already contaminated some people you can avoid contaminating others. Re-contamination is also a problem.
You act like everyone is really sick. Facts are there are morons who abuse the system because they don't want to go to work, and as a result everyone is punished for it. Those people force businesses to write Draconian sick day policies.
Fortunately one of the entities I work for forces all employees to be vaccinated (it's free), so I am covered. I also get free mandatory TB testing which is peace of mind. Personally I think more employers should mandate (but provide for free) flu vaccines every season. Would greatly improve productivity and popular health.
I am an American. By the way, many companies will punish you for coming to work sick now, especially in retail and food service positions where you might infect the customers.
Are you kidding? All the guy did was disable registry entries that locked you from doing dumb crap like overclocking an integrated chipset. He also removed the stuff that makes sure that your device is actually supported by the driver, so the omega drivers are basically the spray and pray version of hardware support.
Linux has EXCELLENT intrusion detection as long as you're running the SELinux tools. That thing is so paranoid out of the box that an application making a file in/tmp will throw a warning. You can set it up so that an application doing anything remotely suspicious is just killed immediately and a notification sent to the admin. If you don't trust SELinux there's more proprietary tools such as AppArmor that can do the same job and are a bit friendlier to configure.
Actually the android sandbox is quite sophisticated. Jellybean will randomize the location of an application's memory region in order to make buffer overflow attacks harder. Granular permissions allow a user to know exactly what an app wants to do before they even install it (it's written into the API that the app must ask for these permissions). Also Google does automated malware testing on their store in order to weed out undesirables. This thing is spread by installing an APK off of a warez site and ignoring all the scary warnings.
This isn't a bug it's a feature! It allows for advanced Facebook integration with cutting edge cloud computing advertisers running the new touch-screen oriented Windows Server. This delivers high quality targeted rich media advertising to the world's most common platform.
If it comes to that I'll just learn braille and get one of those readers, same thing. Back in the 90s there was a race to keep making TVs bigger and bigger (and smaller and smaller) which has led to the elimination of the normal sized TV. Is the same thing happening with monitors? Are we going to keep making them wider and wider (laptop + desktop) and taller and taller (phone + tablet) until the 4:3 is a thing of the past?
I'm skeptical because, yet again, coffee has flip flopped from harmful stimulant that can increase hypertension and cause heart disease to wonderfood that cures everything wrong with you.

I'd also mandate them for public utility workers, public transit workers, and food service workers.

Why do people wait for an epidemic to stay home when they are sick? If you are sick, don't go out! If you do, you are part of the problem.
It's just a low blow at Creative Commons authors.
Yep. This guy is going to make some serious money when he sues for wrongful prosecution.
All it's going to take to kill McAfee is Microsoft Security Essentials, to be honest.

But does it run Linux?

Why are you trying to kill Linux?
The part past your fingernail will.
Thank you for confirming what I've suspected today: It is OK to limit someone's movement as long as it doesn't involve limiting their computer. :)
So its totally ok to limit someone's freedom of movement for their own protection?
My birds have never had clipped wings and had no issue flying in the house. They prefer to walk, actually.
