In other words, you lied in your previous post. You aren't actually willing to switch operating systems. You also, apparently, didn't read any of the links I included. Your logic is basically irrational and exactly as described in all of them. You're willing to accept any future abuse from Microsoft because in the past you spent some unknown amount of money on Windows software? Good luck with that. You need to accept that money you've already spent doesn't always determine the best path forward. Situations change and past decisions may need to be re-evaluated.
Fixed that for ya. I swear every time I have to use an Android device I get a migraine, it's like the UI is designed to drive sane people absolutely mad.
Agreed, anyone who claims we, humanity, survived contact in Childhood's End needs to read the book again. Humanity was at best absorbed. Anyone who accepted the offer was human in appearance only as a personal preference. (And the ability to choose is basically a lie. No matter how often you chose "No" the offer was always there. The sphere wasn't leaving until there were no more humans to accept.)
I disagree. Google seems to be most interested in disrupting the stagnant pricing and services provided by incumbents. Setting up where the incumbents are not, while irritating, won't force them to fight to keep their existing customer base.
It means you will never be hired by your former employer again, no matter how qualified or perfect you are for a job they need to fill. It has nothing to do with other employers. It is strictly internal to the original company.
I recall seeing a gzip archive that that was specifically crafted to extract itself. Basically so a virus scanner would recursively extract the same file. It was intended to function similarly to a fork bomb if I recall correctly. (That was a long time ago though, and such an attack would no longer be functional. Virus scanners have wised up to such tactics.)
And as the GGP stated there are the wonderful zip bombs such as 42.zip. But 100 GB? Ha! Try 4.5 petabytes of useless garbage.
Yeah, I remember when I got my Nintendo as well... Cut my finger on the edge of the box when I opened it. Bled like crazy. Didn't care at the time, but the funny thing is I don't remember the games or the year. I remember the cut though, damn that hurt.
I'm surprised the USA hasn't adopted UK style libel laws. Just think how much money the lawyers would make!! And almost all politicians are former lawyers, you'd think they'd look out for their buddies.
Why would they make it easier for their political opponents to sue them? It'd make election time a lot quieter that's for certain.
That could be an issue, but it seems highly unlikely in this case. Having taken a look at the winapp2.ini from winapp2.com (the file isn't made by ccleaner as best I can tell.) there wouldn't have been any need to reverse-engineer anything. It is an incredibly simple format. Below is one entry from the file. It seems fairly representative. I cannot image he'd need to reverse-engineer their software to figure out what it meant.
And that is probably why they refused. If they heard the case they'd have to make a ruling which would apply across the entire country. By refusing to hear it they can contain the "damage" to just Illinois.

This is known as the Sunk Cost Fallacy. (Hint: That money is already gone.)

Storing the decryption key on a RAM disk would probably work. Power goes out and everything on that disk goes *poof*. No more decryption key.
... but alas I can't go back.
Not true. With the Nexus 5 you can go back.

You just need to manually flash the OS.

You say that like they can't both be true.
because the country is a hub for IT outsourcing
Not anymore.
Especially if it's dull.

Why do we enshrine lies?
Because the laws that should protect against such things are written by politicians. Is everything understood now?

This is why many businesses will not let you use their phones to make/receive personal calls.

No silly.

And probably about as reliable unfortunately.

Yes it's so terrible hard to get an unlocked phone, oh wait, google sells them directly at a lower price than most locked phones.
Yes, and good luck getting one of them from Google.

Dropping asteroids into Earth's gravity well intentionally is a incredibly bad idea.
Total PITA.
I see what you did there... but I really wish I hadn't.

Given that the U.S. civil war started in 1861 that would be a really safe assumption.
