This includes every corporate PC purchase. Corporate PCs come with Vista pre-installed, and companies just wipe it to put their own SOE (normally XP these days) on instead.
Home users are not purchasing Vista. In record numbers.
There's a bit of a difference between "the driver for this USB implementation sometimes crashes the box" and "there's a giant, gaping security hole in every release of this operating system".
If you're going to make straw-man arguments, you really ought to try harder.
You have put those with different opinions than you in a box, and then made up there thoughts so you can be better than them... isn't that what your post was complaining about in the first place?
Is it really that hard to believe that people who hold certain opinions and then attempt to force those beliefs onto others really are shittier people?
Cablevision's Optimum Online service is great until you accidentally upload more than you should. The numbers I've heard for "more than you should" range from a few hundred megabytes to a few gigabytes, sustained over a few hours. There are no official answers to exactly how much you can upload or for how long.
I've been capped four times now, since 1997. They keep a lifetime record of this. It's not like moving violations, where they drop off your record in a few years. If I fuck up again, at all, for the rest of my life, they will immediately disconnect my cable service and won't ever do business with me again.
Apparently the free market hasn't made its way to the northeastern united states yet.
Oh, for fuck's sake. They're charging $4000 for an update to two registry values. I'm all for charging to support end-of-life products, but only a complete retard would be able to justify what Microsoft's doing here.

lol no it wouldn't.
Well, the reality is that terrorists do not shoot people in the face at point blank range.
This has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with control of the population.
I wonder what the intersection of those two sets looks like.
what, and they don't deserve every last bit of it?
The Freepers rejoicing this act of treason should be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.
Posting fromm iPhone. :)
how's that lack of tactile feedback workin' out for ya?
"With a 10/100 Ethernet port, firewall usage springs to mind."
Maybe if you're retarded. How effective is a 190 MHz computer with a single 10/100 interface?

Doesn't the thing you're threatening have to be an actual religion, not just some made-up bullshit about space aliens who fly around in 747s, too?
good one user number 322080.
so you're telling me you won't be able to "detect" someone who is cutting through traffic, and most likely breaking speed limit laws at the same time?
once they've been pulled over for violating traffic laws, it's easy to tell if they're also pulling this kind of stunt too.

what part of the summary sounds accusatory to you?
There isn't any.
He's just an idiot trying to get his comment modded up. And it worked. Good for him!
Could you pretty please point me to the line(s) in the writeup where the author takes an "accusatory tone"?
Maybe I'm just fucking illiterate, or maybe you're just fucking retarded and trolling for karma points, but I don't see it.
i sort of expected some anonymous pussy to post something inflammatory, too.
make it a felony. prosecute vehemently. problem solved. it's easy enough to detect.

And 8 years of George W. Bush has, so far, gone fucking great, right?

Why the hell did you take a class on this?
Perhaps not surprisingly, California ranks almost dead last in education.

Aesthetics are important, and forcing people to make their households less appealing isn't going to help anyone live a better life.
Aesthetic appeal is not a quality of life issue. You'll have to do better than that.
Why do photographers light with incandescents?
Why do autistics?
What the fuck are you talking about?
