If you installed Thunderbird yourself, in any OS, and you didn't know Thunderbird was your email client, how did you ever expect to find it when you wanted to read your email? Navigate to the Thunderbird icon that you didn't know was your email?!?
Some 32-bit apps are too smart for their own good (trying to asertain their location outside of x86 and SysWOW, or ignoring CSIDL locations and relying on hard-coded paths), but you're right, almost everything worth noting works on 64-bit windows that isn't missing a hardware driver.
16 bit apps (generally speaking) run nicely on the included virtual XP system seamlessly - and you can stick your troublesome 32-bit apps there too.
It has a good number of active users, myself included, who use it to communicate with people in specialized niches (Android developers, Ingress players, brewers, poker players, blah blah blah).
The risk/reward ratio on caring a "USB condom" for the rest of my life is greatly in favor of just plugging in my phone without paranoia at airports and coffee shops.
If 50% of people are below average intelligence, what percentage of those are on your local PD?
Considering that most police forces have requirements of entry including a college education, probably higher than the average criminal. [The average Texas inmate has an IQ of 92, national studies show the average is 13 points down, at 87, and a British study has their average at 80.]
Among those SUSPECTS questioned, not invoking Miranda, 47% confessed! [21% not questioned, 10% Miranda, 36% questioned, but no confession obtained, 33% confessed.] Those that didn't confess or invoked Miranda, include a large number of people who weren't convicted.
I stand by my assertion that confession is the primary means of closing cases.
LA, apparently has something like 50% confession rate (meaning the the percentage of confessors among closed cases is VERY high), while New York County has a number as low as 15%.
If you want to increase the numbers even higher, you could argue that nearly every plea bargain contains a confession as well, although that confession is to a judge or DA, not the police.
Almost every crime is "solved" by the suspect confessing. When there is no video, you call your #1 suspect and tell him there is, and ask him to confess so he gets off easy.
Since at least 50% of people are below average intelligence (and those people include those dumb enough to not weigh the consequences of theft correctly) that tact is generally successful. [Your average criminal is an idiot.]
So, are you suggesting we should all consent to illegal (and unconstitutional) searches on the assumption that since we're innocent it's OK for the police to break the law because the won't find anything??
I make no such suggestion. I advocate, in my post, which you seem to have ignored, keeping your phone locked and working toward electing officials that would make changes toward the laws that impact the sort of searches where a phone might be a target.
I think we all understand the fruit of the poison tree. There's hundreds of Law and Order episodes:)
Police find some poison fruit, and then manage to come at it - by sheer luck and coincidence - from another route. At least that's the argument being made.
How about, "don't have evidence of crimes on your phone," because "you aren't a criminal."/. groupthink is, as usual, that all cops are dishonest and looking to railroad everyone, because there was a bad cop once, and since he wasn't instantly outed by co-workers, that all cops are part of his nefarious plan to subvert your rights at all junctions.
Want to have a bad time at a traffic stop? Start your traffic stop by doing the crack-the-window and repeating the "am I free to go" mantra. I don't like driving to San Diego from Phoenix and having to get inspected along I-8. It angers me....but the solution isn't to be a dick to the guy out there in the papers-please guard hut. Keep voting against the idiots who make these things possible.
For whatever it's worth, I can distinguish between "smokers" and people who, from time to time, enjoy the taste of tobacco in their mouth.
Would cigarettes still have been the crutch Einstein needed to work on the fundamentals of physics if he knew what he knew today? Who knows.
My personal belief is that cigarette companies just don't pass the sniff test. They exist solely to make benefit from addicting and killing people. As much as I believe in personal liberties, and the right for people to poison themselves to death in the stupidest way possible, there's no reason to keep making cigarettes wholesale.

Actually, you can run 16-bit software, just once extracted, in 64-bit Windows 7 with the built in XP Mode VM under the hood.
16-bit apps fire up seamlessly after initial install in the VM.
You can run the XP Mode VM in Windows 8, but it takes some minor tinkering.
Cut him some slack; he's 22, broseph.

Your MS-DOS machine had one program on your floppy. :/

It's easy to say when you're not using it.

True.
He makes his money telling dick jokes (n.b. I enjoy dick jokes), but he does seem to be doing the right things with said dick joke money.

To be fair, a bunch of cars driving well, not tailgating, speeding, changing lanes unnecessarily does help solve the traffic problem.
Roads could handle many more driverless cars (communicating in mesh to boot) than manually driven cars.
About 120M people will turn out to the polls in 2016.
With the Koch brothers combining for about .4BN in political contributions, each voter would have to pony up $3.50 or so to match them.
G+ doesn't have to be your main social anything.
Most spam is sent from "legitimate" ISPs on pink contracts.
Didn't say it was a conspiracy.
The risk/reward ratio on caring a "USB condom" for the rest of my life is greatly in favor of just plugging in my phone without paranoia at airports and coffee shops.
...or, I'll just keep plugging my phone in at numerous public places that offer free charging, thus leaving me free to leave my tinfoil at at home.
Maintenance and repair will be a city services guy throwing it in the back of a truck and taking it to a landfill.
Great.
Now answer the question.
What felonies did the average guy probably commit today?
I got up, drove to work, worked, ate lunch, worked, came home, and watched some TV.

The link doesn't answer the question.
Please tell me the three felonies I probably committed today.
Have a tire iron in your vehicle? You can be charged with possession of a burglary tool anywhere in the US and concealment of a weapon in many states.
Oh, you're serious? Let me laugh even harder.

In the meantime, just keep your phone locked.
