Huh? Amigas were easily expandable, at least as much as 680x0 Apples. Big box Amigas (A2000, A3000 & A4000) had a Zorro bus which took graphics cards, serial cards, video editing (Video Toaster), etc. Small box Amigas (A500, A600, A1200) has similar expansion capabilities. A500&A1000 had a zorro 1 connector on the side, A1200 & A600 had the clockport. There were also the standard external parallel & serial ports available. There are even new expansion cards being manufactured & designed today (albeit in small quantities)
My A500 had a huge 80Mb SCSI hard drive.
My A4000 had a 24bit graphics card, serial card, 68060 processor with fast SCSI and lots of RAM (60Mb:-)
My software has to speak to these things. The hardware is slow (serial) & shit.
The government doesn't even know what information we should be sending to these boxes and their guidelines are constantly changing. We've wasted 100s of man hours. Our customers are pissed off because transaction speed has dropped and they can't even print more than 1 copy of an invoice.
My first experience with Linux was on my Amiga running Linux/68k. There were no distributions, just an (outdated) image from some Atari dudes hard drive. Guess I can be thankful, at least I had a C compiler. I bought a slackware cd set full of glorious source code!
Does the OS completely overwrite the hibernate/swap file each time? All it would take is to forget to do this once and those bits could be floating around on the drive (especially if the filesystem uses wear leveling).
What about that time a driver crashed and the OS wrote a dump file? You sure you deleted them?
Can you really trust the encryption chip? With software I (or someone I trust who is more skilled!) can analyse the source code for backdoors and bugs.
As far as I can see there is no difference between Windows 8's Remote Desktop and the one that came with XP.
One nice new feature of Win8 is the inclusion of Hyper-V.

TV modulators came as standard with the Amiga, at least in '87 when I got my first one... Shame it stuck out the back!

And at the end of the day they solve nothing.
But I don't see other phones with cracked screens!
The number of Apple phones I see on my daily commute with a cracked screen is crazy.
The UK doesn't use gallons anymore and Pounds/stones are dying out. We like our miles & pints though.
E-Book prices are fixed by a cartel of publishers.
And Hyper-V is included, which is nice.
This. Adding 'this' always makes the parent true.

Google didn't exist, but NNTP did.
Where the fuck do I shut the goddamned machine down?
Press the power button?

Do you have VS 2008 installed? If so check out Visual Studio Icon Patcher
No if only we can revert the new brain-dead Team Foundation back to VS 2008.
It's opt-in, not opt-out.
Google maps on Android can download map data for offline use. No idea about the iPhone version.
Or just download the Tor Browser Bundle. Takes 2 minutes. Opens TPB from anywhere.
Strangely I also caught The Sky At Night last Monday. Haven't seen it in years.
Or host a TOR NZB site...
Did you send this from the future?
Stop selling bullets?
Grapes do grow in the south of England. Apparently the sparkling wines are nice and win international awards (I'm more of a beer person).
Virgin still have a NNTP server - I'm using it right now.
I guess you didn't read the parent. Google Maps supports offline maps (no data connection need) and has done for a long time now.
