The sort of advise you just got from KGIII (which is very good advice, BTW) is typical of what you find in the Guitarnoise forums.

I've been ranting on standardizing accessory connectors for years.
At least some cell phone companies are slowly moving in that direction, using USB for charging. Now if only others would jump on-board. Cameras and MP3 players for instance. They already have the USB connection, how hard would it be to have it charge the damn battery?

We were at an airport last week and my son (7 years old) pointed out that the "arrivals" display screen had a windows taskbar visible, and said "that screen shouldn't be like that, should it?".
I regularly see someone's desktop displayed on wall-sized displays that normally show an advertising slideshow. Or occasionally on the scoreboard at sporting events.
And no one thinks it's unusual for these sort of systems to be designed so poorly that stuff that's not supposed to be displayed can be displayed.
The more mediocrity we see, the more people will grow to expect mediocrity.
I expect he means that large numbers of stupid people doing especially stupid things can cause significant negative effect on the economy.
Or cause draconian reactions from the financial sector and/or governments.
No they don't.
They just infect and hijack computers, sell bogus merchandise, and generally try to scam everyone out of as much money as possible.
Maybe they're not all murdering scum, but they are scum.
Prosecutors said that from 2002 to 2005, Davidson's business, Power Promoters, and his subcontractors would spam people's inboxes with e-mails promoting items such as watches and perfume.
From 2005 through part of 2006, he sent thousands of e-mails from his home in Bennett, sometimes with false information The bodies of "Spam King" Edward "Eddie" Davidson, his wife, and 3-year-old daughter were found in an SUV parked in a farmhouse driveway in a rural part of Bennett, about 25 miles east of Denver. Authorities said Davidson was the apparent gunman.
Here's more reason to never do anything to financially support spammers.
They are scum.
They have no morals
They have no limits to their behavior.
I mean, really. You can get reasonably modern hardware for $400-$500. My quad-core machine was only $1200, and it's fairly loaded. Expense accounts for this? What is your hourly salary? How many hours do you need to waste for it to be more worth it to the company to simply buy a new machine? Probably less than the amount of time it'll take to read this thread, procure whatever OS(es) you settle on trying, and install one after another until you find one that suits whatever task you have for the machine. So, just buy a $1000 machine, install VirtualBox or VMWare on it, install the special OS there, and you'll be off and running far faster, and far cheaper, than trying to repurpose hardware better sent to the recycler.
Maybe that's a possibility in your office.
In the increasingly bureaucratic world that I work in, any purchase has to be vetted by at least 2 levels of management. If it's over $500, then 3 levels.
And if it says "computer" anywhere on the invoice, it has to go thru IT, and has to "belong" to them, even if it's going to be a non-networked VT100 emulator.
And it takes longer than 6 weeks (which is how long I've been currently waiting.
In the meantime, I have frankenstiened a bunch of cast-offs ("here lemme help you schlep that junk to the bin...") into service until my boss manages to push the official request thru the pointy-haired quagmire.
"Public transportation is cheap, but I prefer to drive so I don't have to be around poor people."
That right there is the number 1 reason people drive rather than take public transit.
Speak for yourself.
The reason I don't use public transport for getting to/from work is that I drive a company-supplied vehicle which is loaded with tools, parts, manuals, and other items that I require to do my job at the various locations that my employer requires me to be at during the day.
Yes, I take the van home at night, as I am expected to be available to respond quickly to callouts with tools, etc.
IP is worth a lot of money to the USA. It's not something that can made in other countries Really? Only the USA can create IP?
There are a lot of people in the rest of the world being very creative, and making a good living from that creativity.
Like most people, you are confusing mercantilism with capitalism.
I believe the term you are both looking for is "corruption".
If it involves the government doing something that is to the benefit of a non-voting entity over the interests of the general citizenry (y'know the voters), then it's probably a corrupt act.
Do terrorists, even specific types of terrorists, have some sort of uniform, identifiable facial expression right before they attack? I imagine some would be enraged, some would be peaceful, some would be resolute, and some might even be happy. I expect this is the database they'll be comparing their results against.
That's Ok.
I'm planning on opening a kiosk near the airport where I will sell translucent full face masks emblazoned with the slogan

Our company hired security guards to sit in the hall outside the unmarked door to the equipment room (in my location it's an un-marked door on the 16th floor of an office building).
Thus making people wonder "what's so important behind that door?
The security guard on the early shift was the most frail ancient person I have ever seen in a uniform, but dammit, we were doing something. Or at least being seen to do something, which is just as good.
