Because almost ALL Doctors and Hospitals use some form of Windows to keep track of everything. The worst part is no one is managing these Computers, that means no updates or anything. Nine times out of Ten they are even using a version of Windows no longer supported.
I'm an advocate for switching these people over to custom versions of Linux or similar. Windows shouldn't be used for critical tasks, heck even Microsoft admits that. What's worse is that these systems usually rely on WiFi that is NOT encrypted. I'm not making this stuff up, I've been in enough Doctors offices and Hospitals to know this, look next time you go.
Remember about ten or so years ago they said you could walk into the Dentist office and they could implant some stem cells in your mouth to regrow teeth? I haven't seen that become fruitful either...
You must be joking. With all the paid holidays, vacations and numerous other ways to avoid work that Americans have (assuming you're American) it shouldn't be any problem at all for you to make time to go Fishing or any other activity.
What next, Americans demanding $30 an hour to flip Burgers and 5 Hour work weeks? Geez
I figured, with all those side effects, nobody would even go near those drugs. I mean, really, are you willing to try that new drug on your toenail fungus with a risk of death attached? What that means is that people during the drug study actually died, a confirmed side effect.
In any case I think we need to stop with all these sex pills and nonsense drugs and put that money in to treating or curing life threatening illnesses. Aspirin and Penicillin were revolutionary and more beneficial than any of their very minor side effects; we need drugs like those.
I don't know if it's the same old KKK, but if it is, Anonymous just dug it's grave for at least a few members. The KKK has/had links to various questionable and legal organizations that could "Take care" of people. And it's well known that some Politicians and Law Enforcement are members. Anonymous is feeling like the masters of the virtual universe it seems and now real life threatens to literally, burn down their Tree House.
You know what they say about playing with fire and I know I am inviting a joke here =p
Hogwash, Jesus was born long after the Dinosaurs so how could he have been there? More importantly, who was there to capture that moment in a painting?/s
Why do you need to restore or rollback anything? The drivers usually just work and if they don't you just purge them and revert to older ones. System restore? ha, it's called a Live CD. Back up your junk from that and reinstall.
Windows has those two "features" because of how badly it was needed due to crashing and incompatibilities with that OS. Linux doesn't suffer even remotely from many of the problems of Windows; hence why you don't see those features. And like TemporalBeing said, most people don't even know how to use those features anyway they're mostly there for those PC Repair people to use. I should know, I use to repair Windows Computers.
You want to know how we fixed your problems most of the time? We backed all your stuff up and reinstalled the OS. Something you could've done yourself. That's your System Restore and Rollback, something we hardly bothered to use since most of the time it created more problems than it solved.
Blame the company. They change and rewrite the code for their needs with full intent to label bugs as WONTFIX. You want bug fixes Pal? Buy the new model.
You can't contradict him eh, he's a Chemist! The dude MUST know what he is talking about =p

You plan to launch these Nuclear Weapons at whom exactly? Terrorists don't have a home and I assure you, on a long enough time-line, Terrorists will get their hands on something Nuclear and detonate it.
That Country will be looking for someone to blame.
As for World Wars, we should be looking at China. I'd place every Penny I own that China would be the instigator for that War.
I've also been finding better prices at local stores like Walmart. The best thing about that is I don't need to wait for an Item to ship. I've found that it's mostly the 3rd party sellers that are inflating prices on Amazon like $99 so-called "Rare" DVDs that can be found on EBay for $20 or less.
I've also noticed things like when you add an Item to your Cart and leave it for awhile (30 min); the price will go up. Take it out and the price will go back down. Amazon really needs to take a hard look at the practices of Sellers.
"Not have a life" I never understood this, two hours on Saturday and two hours on Sunday isn't taking anything away from peoples lives especially if you really enjoy what you're doing. If coding feels like an inconvenience to you, perhaps a different hobby would suit you better.
I could shove a dead Rat in the CPU slot and Windows would work with errors galore while Linux would actually tell me I have a dead Rat in the CPU slot. Linux exposes bad Hardware.
You: I'm going to make this great new Item! Me: Alright, first we need to sort through the 7,000 Patients that may conflict with your Item. You: Never mind, I'll just focus on something else. Me: You can't, Robots do everything else now.
We'll see about that when a Republican is elected next time by holding his hands in the air and chanting nonsense about "Freedom" and how we need to "Protect" it. Since I was born in 1978, EVERY Republican has had some sort of War/Invasion while the Democrats try to stay away, save a few pin-prick Air Strikes to keep the Warmongers happy.
War is obsolete in my opinion, we as a WORLD can't advance until we learn to live together on this tiny Blue Planet.

Since the same people that run Cable also run your Internet, I'm sure they don't care if you cut the cord. They'll simply cut bandwidth...

You're not going to any Planet if Trump gets elected. Those funds will be diverted to some unnecessary Middle East Military action.

The real crime here is the People allowing all this to happen. Electing and Re-Electing the same People over and over. Blame Voters, not Politicians.

It's not crap. The Athlons crushed the Pentium 4's. I remember that very clearly. Slashdot people should know this unless you were born yesterday.

My Mother is 61, has little experience with Computers yet has no problem using Linux. You better re-think your statement, this isn't 1995.
You: I'm going to make this great new Item!
Me: Alright, first we need to sort through the 7,000 Patients that may conflict with your Item.
You: Never mind, I'll just focus on something else.
Me: You can't, Robots do everything else now.
Ahh, you're one of the people that think they WANT to Cure it. Why Cure it when you can milk it for more money?
