They're giving it away free and they pushed a little "install me" button on current Win 7 and Win 8 installs. I'm actually surprised it's not higher. This 5% should be seen as a failure not a success.
And what are you going to do when they sanction you? It's ok to blame China for its disastrous environmental damage. It's not ok to fail to recognize that Chinese industry is primarily servicing the manufacturing needs of the US. Look how green we are - (we don't produce anything anymore)! Look how filthy China is (only they happen to be making the components for everything the entire world needs). Seriously, stop being a hypocrite. And as for sanctioning - don't bite the hand that feeds you. China is now the world's #1 economy. It can survive without the US - there would be hard times, but it can. The US, however, cannot survive without China thanks to the fabulous strategic decision of outsourcing everything to there.
I don't care. Say your favorite brand is discovered to be abusing children in sweatshops somewhere in the orient or Indonesia. Do you still willfully and happily keep buying that brand? At some point Hulu assumes some of the responsibility for letting themselves be manipulated like this. Region locking is absolutely stupid. And then these content providers have the nerve to complain about "piracy".
And Hulu will never make it with me because for some reason just because I don't live in the US they don't want to allow me the privilege of being one of their customers.
I live in Seattle, and I don't know anyone with a connection fast enough to stream Netflix.
Heck I live in Panama. No not Panama City, Florida. Panama the country with the canal, all the way down in Latin America. And I have the bandwidth (20Mbs) to stream Netflix, through a US VPN. So someone in your city is screwing you.
And said island would disappear under a cloud of "freedom and democracy" within 6 months, courtesy the US. And suddenly all the topless slave women would have disappeared, re-appearing later as Washington interns.
if only we could figure out how to reach that breakeven point.
Just accumulate enough matter together to create a gravitational field so strong that it begins to collapse space-time and fusion will start all by itself. Until we give up the notion that we can do with magnets what gravity can do (false) and that anything on a large scale must be capable of being replicated on a small scale (also false), people and governments will continue to throw money away at "fusion".
The fundamentals of the US economy are looking great in comparison to what? Are you seriously content because "at least we're not in as bad shape as Greece!"? Housing prices are starting to come back - that's a good thing right? That no one can afford a house unless they sell their and their children's future into usury? Because a fundamental gauge of the economy is the PRICE OF YOUR HOUSE. No, that's only good for bankrupt americans who have no equity at all except the meagre slice they are forced by the banks to have if they buy a house. Buying a home then selling it is not a valid "business model". It's speculation. And just like any other speculator, one day honey you are going to get screwed.
You can get a cheap home loan on a phenomenally overpriced house. How about a loan with higher interest on a modestly priced house? (Yes I'm talking about the same house). Either way, you're paying.
Good thing that medical diagnoses are never based on subjective symptoms but rather objective signs. Courts, juries and lawyers do not have a license to practice medicine and should remember that.
There is proof however that people who claim to have "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" mysteriously cannot explain why they can get "sick" even when the source of electromagnetic radiation is turned off. Apparently the mere sight of a router/electrical transformer/pylon is enough to make them "sick".
Anyone "deserves" a Hugo award who is picked as a winner by the Hugo award committee. Now this does not mean that the Hugo award itself is in any way deserving of my time or attention.
IANAL but if I'm going to shove food in my mouth and digest it, at some point that food belongs to me. Now you can argue that it only becomes mine at the moment the bill is paid, but I can argue it's mine the moment it's set on my table. Otherwise you could have "authors" reaching down my throat into my stomach to retrieve their "work" if they suddenly decide their "work" was too precious to sell to me or they want to renege on the deal. The fact that payment is given after the meal doesn't change the fact that the meal is mine the moment it's on the table. So if I take a picture of it on the table, I'm taking a picture of my stuff which I purchased.
Or are we going to start arguing that restaurants "license" their food?
Then your law is fucked up. See, photographs require light. If you take a photograph indoors you are taking a photograph of my work. I work in a light bulb factory. We make the light that lets you take a picture. So pay me, bitches. See how stupid this line of thought gets?
Extending this logically - if someone takes a photograph of you smiling, your dentist can sue you for copyright infringement if you have any fillings that are visible in the picture. Well done, Germany. Only the English would have no fear.
Everyone can run all of their favorite applications at the same time. That's the beauty of it. Of course it just looks like a blank monitor but I assure you it's doing something incredibly quantum.
Yes well there are giant space sheep too! Who says there aren't? Did I say there wasn't? The TSA is keeping us safe from them, too. Also, it's one of these things you realize after you hit submit but then can't do anything about it. Damn you slashdot.

if you are willing to pay a bit more for quality?
The real question is - can you afford the quality?

If he can't keep a woman around while being a billionaire I'd say that mental illness is called "ego".

I once got a 300 baud modem to handshake with me by whistling the carrier tone.

Vital to Microsoft. So they can mine/sell the data. Get it now?

There is a contract. It's called the restaurant bill.
What are you trying to say - that only crappy dentists would be protected by copyright? lol

Quite a few developing nations have "better medical care" than the US. Cuba for one. Costa Rica for another.
Red is one of the holy colors, being the color of His divine Tomato Sauce. I'm still trying to figure out blue...
