My point is that it would be a proper use of Windows to throw it into a dumpster.
While I agree that Windows is shit, it's a kind of shit that would clog a toilet if discarded in it, so it would be inappropriate to label a toilet as a proper way of discarding Windows.
I just place all "Designed for Windows" stickers that I find onto dumpsters and trash bins of various capacity. Does it mean that my sense of humor is far superior to those pranksters (not to mention that I make a valid statement)?
If the company needs a sales engineer, it is usually a given that sales engineer will have to make recommendations about shitloads of things that the company does not make -- sometimes even things that compete with its products -- just to properly use company's products. It will be still far, far better than an incompetent salesperson constantly pushing company's products and always failing to sell them.
Except then sales and possibly support will be ALL they will be doing -- they will no longer have time to do anything related to product development. What is fine if that is understood by both management and those engineers.
Usually incompetent engineers don't end up talking to the customers -- management, even one that is incompetent by itself, very quickly learns not to do it.
I have nothing against the government subsidizing it, however it is very unlikely that total energy spent on a modern panel (including all steps in production, from mining to transportation) are going to be recovered with few kilowatts running 6 hours a day for a few months or even years.
I still can't wrap my mind around the concept of "suspension" as a punishment for someone attending a public school. First and foremost, wouldn't truant student be "suspending" himself? Second, if a student missed any essential classes because he is suspended, wouldn't it make all subsequent classes pointless because student won't be able to understand them (or, worse, misleading because student will misunderstand them)?
This is only necessary when there is some kind of restricted information available to the public under some conditions. Skype never provided documentation, so this is not a problem.
(and you are either a liar or a moron for posting that crap).
Or are you suggesting that we don't use well-defined terms just because Americans (or some other country) had, at some point, misappropriated them?
1. Americans usually post opinions they gathered from their politicians. 2. The rest of the world (except US-funded "NGOs") often avoids the term, for this very reason. 3. As a matter of fact, Americans started using the term "human rights" because formerly accepted "civil rights" was too much associated with fight against racial discrimination.
Do you have a knee-jerk reaction to "democracy" also?
As a matter of fact, yes. US made both term and the idea of "democracy" tainted, useless and irrelevant.
...anyone cares to guess, which percentage of "Universal Declaration of Human Rights", something that is far more widely recognized than ridiculous list attached to your Constitution, does US recognize or ever attempted to implement? Most of it would be considered pure Socialism and affront to "American values" by US standards. And I would agree that it is, but not because I support your side.

Too late. It's this thread:

None of it is necessary, of course, unless the user did "experimenting" on his own.
I have Xubuntu on my laptop.
No, you don't.
Now, please, provide a link to Ubuntu forums from where you have copy-pasted that "problem" before someone else finds it.
Windows astroturfers can't even stay out of the threads with simple insults toward their masters.
Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to produce aluminum alone?
Or to make the whole sandwich with given parameters?
Why would anyone, save some blatant instance of corruption, "make a choice to go with a particular vendor"? You choose a product, not a vendor.

say 15% of gross annually or something
Just how large is the company if 15% of its whole gross revenue goes to one guy whose role is auxiliary in the first place?

Why would anyone do that??!
Most sane people would independently verify everything they have heard from salespeople before making any decisions.

Those are costs, and likely subsidized ones.
And the rest of the world still blames them for you.

(to be precisely, likely a bystander -- but their evidence of it being anything else, doesn't seem too convincing).
Umm... murder? Or at very least manslaughter? The video was of shooting a bystander.

No.
