Maybe cause they want to make sure that XP users get punished for not coughing up the cash for a worse OS?
I'm trying Win 7 right now, it's slower on searching, locks up the PC if it hits a damaged file on a PC while searching, and doesn't even have a responsive mouse until it's been moving for ten or fifteen seconds - it's like the driver for the mouse goes into sleep mode after inactivity.
I bought my Dad a PC as a christmas present - He's not very polite on how he describes windows 8.
I don't about the person saved by the airbag. It would have been their choice to buy one or not.
As for the "cost to society" - there's another pet peeve. Are you opposed to fining anyone driving and using a smartphone 10,000 per offense? Or is that a "cost to society" you aren't willing to push for? Why do you get to judge that I must be forced to purchase airbags, while you blithely type away while driving? There are numerous accidents directly related to texting - . Deadly ones. Are we going to stop this "cost on society".
Let's talk about abortion, and the "cost to society". How many Einsteins have been lost to a vacuum and forceps? With the millions of abortions in the United States (done strictly for birth control - less than 18000 are done in the cases of rape or incest) . How many new doctors and researchers could of come up and cured cancer, or prion infection, or found a true anti-virus that works as easy as immunization? Can we quantify the "Cost to society" there while you try to sell me a fast line about airbags? I checked in and it seems you are right - they are making anti-lock braking mandatory - which is idiotic since anti-lock increases braking distance and is dangerous when off roading in mud and sand. Now, When I buy my new Jeep, 'll have to pay for the technology I shut off in the vehicle. Will I get a refund? Will you cut me a check for the extra cost for the equipment I don't need?
What would the Amelia Earhart' search cost in today's dollars when you factor in all of the historic effort?
20 years from now, if a jet goes missing, it'll be the most expensive search in history.
The same as if another massive Hurricane hits in a populated area 20 years from now It will be the most expensive in history.
Heck, if inflation keeps up, 70 years from now if a factory burns down, the cost will dwarf the famous chicago fire simply because the reporters will be intellectually dishonest and just make sure that the cost will lack any simple comparison of monetary value and effort over a period of time.
I've paid for 6 cars that forced airbags on me - they added 300-400 bucks each.
Not one of them ever deployed. That's two grand I could of invested for my retirement.
Also, if school taxes only paid for education, I could intelligently talk to you about investment versus parenting.. Since most of the taxes go to overinflated pensions, you've touched on yet another one of my pet peeves.
I know you misunderstand. Why should I be forced to add another feature that I PAY FOR that I do not want to use.?
I do not want or need a backup cam and display, I sure as hell don't want to pay for it when I buy a vehicle. I do not want or need side view cams attached to the back up cam and display that I don't want to have and don't want to have to pay for.
The back up cam, side view cam and display should be a feature that the buyer pays additionally for, "Including it as a standard" drives the price of the vehicle up.
With a rear view mirror I can just keep on driving.
I object to the forced added cost of the camera, wiring, and display.
I drive a wrangler - and I take it mudding and fording. That means any electrical system as opposed to a simple mirror would require even more expensive water protection added to the cost of the vehicle.
If you want the feature - effing pay for it.
Let those of us that know it's a useless piece of cost avoid being burdened by the expenditure.
SyFy is the reason I cut the cord. Paying for television with commercials and crappy shows and realidumb tv and talks shows is an exercise in pissing your retirement away.
I personally haven't seen any show that had WW as anything more than a bad actor. Who he might be and what he does outside of acting is as relevant to me as how Whoopi Goldberg spends her time (got no clue on her either).
So good luck to WW on joining the sinking SyFy - hopefully it lands him some gig that shows up on Netflix where he changes my mind on his acting.
Not going to try to fight here, but I think that if you had elaborated in the OP about this then the impact you were striving for would of been greatly diminished.
If you could provide me some contact information for that client, I'd most likely be able to fix the situation for a nominal fee that I'm sure they'd accept.
I really thought NASA was the future, I've fought tooth and nail with naysayers over about NASA, It was incredibly depressing the space shuttle started and ended in my lifetime and we rely on the Russians to launch new astronauts to the station.
But this? This is the first time I've started to question my fanboy support of NASA.
Seriously? These designs are worthy of a poll or even posting?
Instead of trying for massive multiplayer, Maybe they should of concentrated on the people that got the series there in the first place - the ones not playing multiplayer?
If someone dangles their genitals while traffic passing by can see, take a picture of, and release publicly while informing the police of the infraction can be arrested for dangling their genitals in public view - I find it completely mind boggling that the same enforcement can't be brought against a company that dangles their genitals on the intraweb.
I've always hated apple after the Mac 2c i owned. I've ranted on/, about Apple, I've fought tooth and nail over gaming versus artsy fartsy.
Putting all that aside - I'd hate anyone who could look at a dead mothers will and decide to enforce an EULA over a piece of plastic with metal that happened to contain information the children could hold dear. It's just wrong.
She could of flung it out a car window, or had it buried with her, but passing her investment into an item to her children is strictly forbidden? That's worse than Steve Jobs buying cars every six months so he could park in handicapped spaces.
There's a special place in hell reserved for people that run apple.
You let people in to your house to install things?
When Comcast showed up for the install I gave them a coax to wire into, and a laptop hooked into my router to test with. Both of which were in my backyard at the back door of my home.
I will dump my comcast account, call my brother who has to have the best of the best and pays for all things comcast, get his log in info and hop on the neighbors signal.
Net savings? 29.99 a month until july, the 69.99 a moth after that.
I saw an episode about getting hair off udders when watching "dirty jobs". Perhaps we can use natural gas to avoid the gigantic amounts of wax needed? I quick puff of flame is all that is needed.
I've tried pitching it to bankers to do that with humans, but they all look at me like I've lost my mind.
It works. When my propane grill screwed up, it took a an eyebrow and half of my scalp. My guess is that it was less painful then wax pulling it all off.

Yes, I disagreed with the airbags as well. And ANTILock is now legally required? That's stupid. What good is antilock when I'm offroading?
Also, if you think my car should be equipped with a back up cam to save your children, go ahead and pay for it.
Otherwise, stay out of my wallet.

Huh?
Can you elaborate? Because if someone actually has a win XP machine or better in that office the cost should be free.
The Oak stays strong and the palm tree bends - but with the Hurricane of fed up cord cutters, only one species will survive the storm.
I'm patient.

Brute force attacks compromise simple passwords?
This is news?
I hope they make a profit over their decision to remove freedom and dissension over popular opinion.
I won't be funding it.
I prefer gaming - not having to cry over social issues and dwell over how insecure I might be.

What happened to the bandwidth cap? You know, cause the one household was sucking all the u-pron and warezing?
If one house has to provide for twenty or thirty coffee sippers warezing and u-proning, does the cap come into play?
If not, why was there even a discussion of capping bandwidth?
Keurig provides a clean single-cup solution
too bad any coffee I've tasted from a Keurig tastes like crap.
I'll stick to using a french press. Microwaves are everywhere and they make hot water with little effort.
I saw an episode about getting hair off udders when watching "dirty jobs". Perhaps we can use natural gas to avoid the gigantic amounts of wax needed? I quick puff of flame is all that is needed.
