An old version of Win 7 might not be signed for UEFI on the new motherboard. It could easily be impossible to install an old or non Microsoft operating system if Secure Boot is enabled.
Porn doesn't assault people online. It doesn't jump out from the shadows. Porn doesn't stalk people and attack them from behind. In fact, the viewer has to take some deliberate action to end up with porn on their screen. If porn itself isn't the problem, is it the children? Are they what we are trying to save? In that case wouldn't it be better to watch who goes to child porn sites and then investigate them to see if they are abusing children? Wouldn't that protect far more children than trying to ineffectually block porn sites? You CAN stop bank robbers by closing all the banks, but wouldn't that be a stupid solution?
Marijuana is a last resort choice for people with difficult to treat illnesses. it is also the only relief from some prescription drug side effects. Your attitude is like saying everyone who uses prescription pain killers is a drug addict. When you have to use marijuana as a medicine then 'stoned' becomes another side effect that must be managed. It isn't fun when you have to be stoned every day whether you feel like it or not. You have to have fairly significant symptoms that are relieved by marijuana in order for it to be an attractive alternative. Specifically, the amount you gain from the relief has to be greater than what you lose to being stoned every day. It is a choice that medical marijuana users must make every day because it is always attractive to finish that little job before dosing. The little job takes all day and side effects come back. Happens every time.
Why isn't the government using the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to arrest and prosecute these criminals like they did Aaron Schwartz? Schwartz didn't actually hurt anyone or do any damage but robo-calls do annoy people. They must be using some kind of computer to make the calls so the Act would apply if the government was serious about the issue.
Secure boot isn't. There is no point in hacking our way into Secure boot because it isn't secure, period. There is always a way around every security design and hobbling the industry with a proprietary technology isn't going to help anyone but incumbent large players. Secure Boot is nothing more than an attempt by Microsoft and other entrenched players to exclude smaller companies. The only secure idea at Microsoft is Linux!
Hey China! Did it ever occur to you that the Imperial Kim Dynasty of North Korea might decide you are the greatest threat to it's existence and might want to make a preemptive strike? Isn't Beijing sitting so close to this paranoid autocracy that if Kim decided he needed to, he could vaporize Beijing before you could react? Isn't the Korean army just as large as the Chinese army? Doesn't it bother you that a capricious dictator has a massive army right on your doorstep? I'd be worried. It wouldn't be the first time the student killed the master.
The danger with GMO crops is what we don't know about gene splicing and the like. This is a prime example of my point. Despite all their supposed safe guards, genes with unknown potential have entered the food chain. This might be the next BSE in the food supply.
Getting more people to vote is good for the democratic process so the DNC should not look at it as a benefit to the Republicans but instead it is a benefit to all Americans. It should be open sourced so America benefits.
The name alone is hysterical! The people have nothing to do with the government of China. The name really should be the Communist Party's Republic of Oppression of the Chinese People. That would fall much more squarely on the truth side of things.
Now not only will we have separate internets for each country, so governments can decide what their people can see, but each company will have it's own proprietary browsers for their particular chunk of the internet. That is absolutely stupid, classic Microsoft!
Can we change the name Steve to Wrong Way Ballmer since he keeps going the opposite direction as everyone else, invariably to Microsoft's chagrin?
Campbell is demonstrating exactly why closed source is bad for everyone. Campbell has wasted no one knows how much time and effort creating a library to create and manage recipes then doesn't want anyone to use it, rendering it completely useless. Campbell's could have saved considerable time creating a recipe application instead. No one gains from a library no one can use. Maintaining a library for no one is a waste of resources. Everyone loses in this closed source stupidity created by Campbell's Soup.
10 years of medical marijuana hasn't produced any noticeable changes. I was always absent minded. More like focused to the exclusion of everything else. Now I'm stoned and communicating with all life everywhere in the universe at the same time. No extra charge for long distance. Being on disability and having no schedule imposed by work makes appointments the hardest thing to keep. I made it to the dentist this morning on time! That's once in a row, a record! The prescription drugs for disease with serious side effects that create the need for medical marijuana will kill me far sooner than marijuana use will.

Aren't minerals concentrated by water moving through rocks? Doesn't that mean there won't be minerals concentrated in space debris?
That doesn't mean it's ever going to happen!

It should be illegal to fill the prosecutor's chair with an asshole. That would solve the problem.
Will get lopped off this time! Unfortunately there is clearly one word that defines the Obama administration, vindictive! And it isn't pretty!
Only America has these problems. You figure it out.
