Never said seven hundred deaths annually was an unacceptable number. All I said was that "feeling less crummy for longer" wasn't the only possible outcome. The chance isn't high, but it is there there.
However there is also a tolerance to feeling bad, too. Is feeling slightly less crummy for longer, better than feeling really crummy for less time.
You did see the part about the deaths, right? With reducing fever increasing the virus' reproduction, it could prolong it, or it could give the virus the advantage it needs to take you out...
Perhaps. Keep in mind though, that rejecting an ignorant idea does not necessarily mean the person in question is intelligent. All it means is they rejected an idea, nothing more.
Exactly. They should give the option at install. Two big buttons at the beginning "Install Windows Metro" and "Install Windows Classic". Which button you hit determines the type of system you get. Classic will give you more control and a good mouse/keyboard interface. Metro will give you less control and a good touch/3ft interface.
City of London. Which is what makes the whole thing so laughable. Nearly all registrars complied with a "police force" that has power over nearly nobody.
Since this is/. I'm assuming you didn't even read TFS in order to get first post. If you had, you'd have noticed that this has nothing to do with domain takedowns and everything to do with domain transfers. Basically, the legitimate people who had been taken down in this bit of BS tried to move their domain to easyDNS, but the registrars they were currently on wouldn't let them. All this decision says is the registrars have to let people move their domains unless there is a court order saying otherwise.
I think it's the level of involvement in the death of the one. In the train example, you would be directly responsible for the person's death, but ultimately, it's something else that actually does the killing. In the doctor example, not only would you be directly responsible for the person's death, but you'd be the one doing the killing and cutting. It's easier to distance yourself when somebody is being squashed by a train, not so easy if you're cutting them open and harvesting his/her organs. Additionally, it could be some strange sense of property that influences the decision. People may be less willing to take what they perceive as somebody's "property" to save the lives of others.
That's the point I was making. Telling them to "go complain to the queen" would be a nicer way of saying "go fuck yourself" in the situation he was describing.
The question that nobody else seems to be asking is, why are they buying their own MAC block? I realize 16 million isn't exactly a huge amount, but unless their building their own NICs for their vending machines, they shouldn't need to be buying their own addresses. That's what vendors are for, right?
Symantec's corporate antivirus is atrocious (Ghost is fine, if a bit expensive). Not only is it a resource hog, it can cause problems for months after it's been removed. The consumer version is even worse, the thing is like a virus. For a free antivirus, AVG is pretty damn good as a set and forget bit. However, if you're already recommending they pay for it, Kaspersky, NOD32, and Malwarebytes are all better options than Norton.
Not trying to be patronizing or sarcastic here, but have you thought about Linux? Throw Lubuntu on it and it'll run at least twice as fast. For the small amount of things you say they do on it, there really shouldn't be many migration pains.
I think you may have confused "satanist" for "atheist". They are not the same. The first group purports to believe in the Lord Satan. Whether they actually do or not is a question for another day and most likely varies from person to person. The second group purports to believe in no god at all. I'm sure there are a certain number of atheists who claim to be satanists but the group as a whole is not atheistic.
Don't worry, I read the whole thing and now I want my time back. The entire comment is full of crap he either made up on the spot or "read somewhere". The end result is an almost-coherent mess that somehow got modded "interesting".

It took less than ten years, people just can't take that kind of breakneck pace.
No, then he'd go to jail for endangering the public.
Not really. The NUCs with a similar price point aren't including RAM or storage, this includes both.

Welcome to the internet. Would you like me to show you around?
I am under no delusion that they would actually consider this. It's really more of an idle wish. Something I can dream about...

I'm not seeing a paywall. Perhaps you haven't had your caffeine yet?

That sounds amazing! Where can I read more about this, haphazardly animated ad?

I think that was the point. Kind of like a government agent telling you to "call your senator" when their department does something you don't like.

I always get them to buy good quality computer protection software like Norton 360
You lost all credibility with this sentence...

It does, but it uses the Tegra line which is Nvidia's mobile solution. So, it'd be an ARM chip in there, not x86.
